If I could get some feedback on how this deck plays out, that would be awesome. It is meant to be a stronger match-up against Greninja, Trevenant, and Night March Decks (So if you could test this deck out in those match-ups that would be awesome). Something this deck might have a tough time against is YZG (So please test those too). Feedback is always appreciated, thank you!
 
This is one of the Trevenant deck variations I also play. Following are a few thoughts for your consideration:
  • One of the cool aspects of this deck is that you have very solid starters: Gengar EX (can attack without energy when Dimension Valley is in play), Wobbuffet (nullifies non-Psychic Pokémon Abilities - no Set-up with Shaymin EX by opponents), and Phantump (can either Wally or Ascension for immediate/near-immediate opponent Item-lock).
  • I've found that when I make it a priority to Item-lock my opponent T1 (T2 at the latest), my game winning chances increase. Consider removing your "tech" (Bursting Balloon, Head Ringer, Target Whistle, etc.) and adding more "consistency" cards to help you achieve the Item-lock objective.
  • Greninja and Dark decks will be tough match-ups. The Rough Seas Stadium is the bane of your deck when playing against Greninja. Espeon EX can help; IF you can manage to keep enough damage counters in play. Dark decks can easily 1HKO all of your Pokémon despite countermeasures like Bursting Balloon. I've found Weakness Policy to be most effective in these particular match-ups.
  • Why Jirachi EX vs. Shaymin EX which can at least Sky Return and inflict some minor damage?
  • Are the 8 energy sufficient for you? The count seems "low."
I'd suggest revising your deck based upon 1) core Pokémon, 2) card-draw and Pokémon setup support, 3) energy requirements and 4) tech. Then play-test, revise the deck, play-test, etc. till you find the right combo of cards you like.
