Expanded Spinda Deck

Hey guys! The other day I was playing Pokemon tcg online and noticed something, alot of decks dont have coverage for special conditions. So I decided to make v1 of my special conditions deck for fun. (It would be fun to make semi-competitive though)
Pokemon: Trainers:
Spinda - Sun and Moon x3
Pumpkaboo - XY x2
Meloetta EX - B&W Legendary Treasures x1
Torkoal - Sun and Moon x4
Mareanie - Sun and Moon x3
Toxicroak EX - XY Flashfire x1
Gothita - B&W Legendary Treasures x2
Sneasel - XY Flashfire x1
Vullaby - XY Fates Collide x2
Mareep - XY Steam Siege x1
Dedenne - XY Phantom Forces x1
Mr. Mime - XY Generations x1

Trainers:
Enhanced Hammer - Sun and Moon x 3
Crushing Hammer - XY Generations x1
Energy Switch - Black and White x4
Poison Barb - Sun and Moon x2
Choice Band - Sun and Moon x2
Professor's Letter - XY BREAKthrough x4
Nest Ball - Sun and Moon x3
Hau - Sun and Moon x4
Sky Field - XY Roaring Skies x2
Reverse Valley - XY BREAKpoint x1

Energy:
Fire Energy x6
Psychic Energy x6
Rainbow Energy x2

The Strategy:
This deck has at 3-4 cards that dish out each special condition which means you won't normally mulligan.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, alot of decks don't have condition coverage and and more than one on the defending pokemon can be very annoying for the other player. (especially confusion)

Mr. Mime:
This is to stop decks that sweep the bench.
Its ability says that your benched pokemon cant take damage from your opponents attacks.

There's not that much to explain.
Give me feedback and questions, please! I'm happy to answer them.

Why would you play rainbow energy when you could play prism energy? Also you will dead draw 3 out of 4 games.
 
Special conditions aren't strong on this meta since is not a pain as it was before like with Virbank City. The only pain is with confusion and Toxapex GX (easily counter by Olympia or floatstones which almost everyone has on their decks) The only good way to take advantage of special conditions is with pokemon who hits harder if there's any special conditions like Sceptile EX or by doing it free with an ability.
I recently played a GR Chandelure which burns and deals 50 damage with 1 energy (making it 100 damage after the burn with a choice band if GX or EX enemy). Is not that bad to be honest, but is not as good as this meta requires it to be. Normally these decks are hard to play and aren't strong enough to fit in.
