Standard Psychic Deck Ideas (M Gallade EX / Gourgeist)

OK I've edited the OP, but I left the Lysandres in. This deck works perfectly with the Lysandre, and I found it works well with the Gallade Gourgeist combo. If you have any suggestions give them to me, else I'm good to go, thanks for everyone's help.

Nice list. Note, you now have 29 Trainers listed, not 26 (deck count is still 60).

IMO,
3 Lysandre is excessive since the deck strategy is to spread damage; so, no opponent Pokemon is shielded from the damage counter drops. Lysandre is helpful in placing an opponent's Pokemon into the Active position and use it as a "shield" while you spread and causing your opponent to expend "extra resources to remove it.

On the other hand, VS Seeker should be maxed-out at 4.

You may find that the current 7 card-draw Supporters are not sufficient to provide smooth and consistent deck operations. So, you could replace 1-2 (Psychic energy / Mega Turbo) with 1-2 other card-draw Supporters.

That is true, I have not had much use for the mega turbo. If possible, I would like to have 2-3 Escape ropes, so can you tell me where to make cuts, thanks in advance

Most pokemon in the deck have low retreat cost so even 2 is still excessive. Have 1-2 switching cards at most in a deck.

I'd suggest the following to initially test:

-2 Lysandre
-2 Mega Turbo​

+1 VS Seeker
+1 Switch / Escape Rope
+1 Professor Sycamore
+1 Professor Birch's Observations
​
Consider trying different combinations of card-draw Supporters and supporting Items till you find what works best for you.
 
Instead of Sycamore and Birch, I added a Skyla and a Teammates, which works so well, I'll update the OP soon then leave comments on effectiveness, thanks
