What is your reasoning for including 4 psychic energy, as garbodor is not meant to attack. Add in a few more vs seeker.
 
Thanks for the feedback, I originally had Espeon-GX in this deck meaning that it needed the energy and when I removed it I forgot to remove the energy.
 
I think you have too much energy in this deck. Also, I like the idea of the espeon in this deck. Gives you a quality stall with that first confusion attack.

Might want a couple more vs seekers too.

Finally, probably want 1 enhanced hammer.

If you keep espeon, i would probably cut one psychic and two darkness energies. I would alsocut one ninja boy. Then add one enhanced hammer and 2 vs seekers.

No espeon, then i would cut all the psychic and put darkness at 6 instead of 7. that way you can fit this stuff in even easier.
 
Why no Yveltal (BKT) which is another awesome attacker?

A 1-1 Garbodor line will not be consistent enough across many games based upon my experience. Should either be prized or you need to discard 1 of the Pokémon, you could lose the use of Garbodor's crippling Ability altogether. By the way, I just noticed that your list does not include any Float Stones ("standard" Tool most commonly used for Garbodor) Tools which can activate Garbotoxin... I'd suggest running a 2-2 Garbodor with 2 Float Stones or remove the current 1-1 line and add 1-2 Hex Maniac as a replacement.
