I feel like gengar the baller had a pretty good post there. Yes once the deck sets up it will be tough to beat, but that is exactly where the issue lies. The deck doesn't always set up perfectly, especially in a format where at least half of the players are using JudgeMega. Not only is JudgeMega an issue, but Pokemon Reversal and just sniping also puts this deck in a tough situation. When you need more than one card in order to attack every turn you are going to run into more roadblocks than you would expect. You need a Typhlosion and a Reshiram to be able to attack effectively while every other deck is just going to need their attacker and some energy. With that in mind the deck isn't always going to preform as consistently as you like to theorymon it would. The way that I decide my matchups is through a best of ten matches (any extreme outliers are redone such as a game where my friend muligan'd eight times) and from there I just use a simple outline to decide how I label the match
Wins 0 out of 10: Highly Unfavorable
Wins 1-2 out of 10: Unfavorable
Wins 3-4 out of 10: Slightly Unfavorable
Wins 5-6 out of 10: Even
Wins 6-7 (we discuss 6's to decide whether or not they were close matches) out of 10: Slightly Favorable
Wins 8-9 out of 10: Favorable
Wins 10 out of 10: Highly Favorable
So it isn't as if I was trying to paint the deck as a bad deck, I just report what happens and give some advice as to what I was thinking as we played. With that being said most people are still going to complain, because nobody likes to hear anything even remotely bad about their deck. What's that you've discovered the secret to ReshiPhlosion to give it all perfect matchups? I'll believe you when you take Worlds...
As for the decklist itself which some people have said differs from theirs, this decklist is what I've found to be the best after hours of testing, if yours is different then that is fine, remember people have different playstyles. I am losing faith in the Tyrogue now that more people are removing their Tyrogue and Cleffa though, so that could be something that would/should be changed before Worlds.
