Goal of this deck is to set up quick using Pichu, Collector, Rare Candy, and Tropical Beach, then counter everything in my metagame.

Vileplume is a bench-sitter for trainer lock, which, if I can get it set up fast enough, shuts down my opponent's deck from setting up. It is also used to prevent my opponent from playing Switch and Pokemon Catcher, so they can't retreat from my Beartic or use Pokemon Catcher on my benched Reuniclus and Evolutions.

Reuniclus is also a bench-sitter, used for damage-swap, which makes my Pokemon quite hard to knock out. It works well with everything. I can move the damage to Zekrom and go up and hit with an Outrage. I can also move the damage from Beartic or Donphan, who don't take that much damage, over to the benched Zekrom, with its high HP, and Seeker to get rid of all those damage counters. Also, so my opponent doesn't knock out my SEL since it's a legend, I can do the same with it.

SEL is great because it can snipe my opponent's basics with ease, killing opponent's benched Reuniclus (good against Gothiclus) and anything else I can't catcher up because of Vileplume. It's massive 90 damage attack is good, too, considering it only costs two energy. When the energy from that attack gets discarded, I'll just play Flower Shop Lady to get it back again.

Advice?
 
the olny thing i can see going wrong is if kyreum gets more popular your vileuplume will get in trouble. i can really think of a counter consider that in mind.
 
You don't need Beartic. Basically, you took out the most important cards in the entire deck (Twins and Sage's Training) for Beartic, who doesn't actually help any matchup since SEL already does fine against Reshiphlosion and Donphan. As it is, you would be better off just running google's deck. You might want to consider changing Donphan for something else though because it will be stuck active against Tornadus and deal 20 damage to it if it got an Eviolite attached. The only thing I could think of is Excadrill 57 since it has a much more manageable 2 retreat, and it still has an attack capable of OHKOing Zekrom and Magnezone for 2 energy.

Reuniclus's ability to move damage counters can stop this. Also, if his area is full of Kyurem, a Blissey or Bellossum tech can stop the overflowing of damage.
