OMG! I ran into this deck twice and if you don't have like*four tool Scrapers or running
Darkrai,Garbodor,Sableye+tool scrapper,your not looking good.

*sniff* I'm just happy sigilyph (Swiss army knife) found a home *tear rolling down cheek*
 
No Eviolite? Quite possibly the most important Tool for this Deck...
I'd personally drop the Rocky Helmets for Eviolite. I think Masquerain needs to be 2-2 for the Deck to work best.
 
I did go for dropping the Rocky Helmets, but I don't like Eviolite that much - I'd rather have stronger Bangle/Exp Share/Mirror/Float lines to run into those when I need them.

I did make the Masquerain 2-2 - I don't like one part of the line being prized more than a fifth of the time - and took out a Sigilyph and Bicycle to make that work.
 
I played against this sort of deck a lot, and the things i found to do well against this deck are as mentioned Darkrai, since it can OHKO and get muliple knock outs in 3 hits.

Frozen City really hurts this deck as well. If you are fighting a spread damage deck and they hit your trubbish for 30, it will be unable to attach enough energy to even attack. Things like Landorus, Kyurem PF will have no problem disabling this deck if they also run Frozen CIty. Not to mention Seismitoad can do 30 to all for only 1 DCE, and is also able to run frozen city. So basically with frozen city out 1 attack and you cant do anything with trubbish.

Another set of pokemon to look out for is Garbodor (Garbotoxin) + Zebstrika (Disconnect)/Dragonite (Deafen). Once garbodor comes out, you can only have 6 tools in play and you cant move them around. Once Dragonite/Zebstrika are attacking, you cant play anymore tools. Once those 2 are out you cant do anything.

Flygon can completely destroy this deck as well, just by sitting in the active, 4 turns to knock out trubbish, without even attacking. its even worse if they also run Celebi, since they do 50 to active, 10 to the bench and 10 to the bench between turns. So basically 2 turns it knocks out the active and does 60 to the bench. Next turn pretty much everything is knocked out and you lose all the prizes at once. If you try to space out benching pokemon, they can just catcher the newest one, hit it for 50.

What you can add to help out against these match ups. Counter stadiums for frozen city, safeguard sigilyph for Exs, and DCE so your sigilyphs can actually attack and help out. Because trubbish cant do everything. Also mr. mine to prevent bench damage.
