I've thought about cutting down on some pokemon, maybe the virbanks. Any suggestions?
 
Well I'd like to have 3 garbage collection trubishes but I only have the 2, so I'm running 2 of them and one from Dragons Exalted. Also I'm using SS for two reasons really. It's nice to be able to preserve the energy if a landorus with 3 energy is almost dead, just SS to a new fresh lando. And also the deck is kinda prone to catcher stalling, so a SS is an extra switch if you REALLY need it to be.
 
4 HTL is too much, switch one out for a catcher. Catcher is very useful for stalling to get a lando hammering away at their pokes. Also, 3 Colress is too much, particularly because you aren't benching much. I'd suggest taking out on of those too and adding another Juniper. Juniper helps get the Garbos out fast.

-1 HTL
-2 Colress

+1 Juniper
+1 Catcher
+1 Scarf

Just noticed, 6 Tools aren't enough. 7-8 is a great number to make sure it doesn't clog, but you have a fresh stream of Tools. Take out another Colress (this deck doesn't need to many Supporters, it locks while you can wait while just hammering) and add another Scarf.
 
Following are some thoughts/suggestions for your consideration:

-2 Tornadus EX,
+1 Landorus EX. The best starting Poké for this deck.

-2 Colress,
+3 Bianca. You (and/or your opponent) may find yourself often times playing with a "small" bench; so, IMHO, Bianca will be a more effective and consistent card draw Supporter.

-2 Exp Share,
-2 Eviolite,
+2 Rescue Scarf. Don't want any energy to potentially bounce back onto a benched Garbodor after your active Poké is KOd.
+1 Giant Cape. With 5 Tools, you'll definitely "win" the Scrapper "war," because most players only run 2 (have not seen anyone run 3) Tool Scrappers at most. And when your opponents expends those Scrappers, their option is then to KO Garbodor - which you, no doubt, want to preserve as much as possible.
+1 Energy Retrieval or Super Rod. Needed since you run low F energy count or for Poké / energy recovery.

-1 Ht Laser,
+1 Max Potion. FANTASTIC compliment to Scramble Switch (amazing card in this deck).

-1 Switch,
+1 Escape Rope. Another nice way to get your active Poké back to the bench, but your opponent switches her/his active Poké first which sometimes gives you an advantage.
 
4 Landorus-EX? ehhh, NO ANSBERRY! 4 Lando is too much. 3 is pushing it, but 4 is overkill.

Most definitely - to maximize your chances of starting with 1 - Lando is THE primary and preferred starting Poké for this deck.

Tornadus-EX is good too...

Agreed. But you need more resources (DCE and Stadium) initially (i.e., T1) to inflict 60 damage onto the defending Poké. Odds are not that great (given current deck list) of that happening vs. a Lando start and 1 F energy.
 
I would think Colress is good with this deck, I would generally want to have 1-2 garbodors on bench, and then a lando in active, a tornadus and mewtwo on bench, assuming your opponent has 2 or 3 on bench thats 6-7 cards, way better then bianca.

I've actually been having problems getting supporters constantly even though I run 12, so cutting it down seems a bit daunting to me.

Also high counts of bianca aren't my favorite, since I don't run many ways to discard cards (only 2 ultras) I'm only going to be getting like 2 cards from bianca.

Getting rid of all of my tornados for landos actually makes me very vulnerable to a Keldeo deck, so thats a bit worrying.

Having tools like eviolite and exp share would help a lot in a mirror match where as rescue scarf wouldn't help as much.

I do like the idea of rod/retrieval and max potion though, I'll look into those.

Just some of my reasoning behind my choices.
 
Thanks for sharing your reasoning of choices. Understood.

Also, I may have suggested earlier to reduce your Tornadus to just 1, when in fact 2 should be the minimum for various matchups as you noted.

I have been running the straight Landorus-Mewtwo-Tornadus version of the deck and I completely see your point about using Eviolite in a mirror match. Those Tools would definitely be useful (and you could still attach them to Garbodor in order to activate its Ability, if need be).

Both LMT and LMT with Garbodor have been "dominating" the State tournaments' results and I believe they will continue to do so throughout regionals.

Good luck.
