Strategy

Use vilify to do damage as well as using lifesplosion to get Venusaur out to search vilify fuel from the deck. This should be potent enough to have a chance against the meta.

RE: weavile/exeggcute/cradily/stage 2s

I feel like theres no reason to not have 4 exeggcute and 4-4 weavile. Its your only attacker and you will only ever start with that or exeggcute. Either way i cant see this deck doing anything unless you were up against a deck that just sat there. You need at least 2 turns to get cradily up. And then you need 1 turn to attack with it. Assuming everything is going according to plan. You do all this setting up only to use vilify, while instead it could be something more inherently strong that doesn't require the use of so many abilities.

Now assume you are fighting something in the meta.
Darkrai turn 3 will OHKO the weavile. Landorus will OHKO with a muscle band both sneasel and exeggcute. Fairy could have some trouble since they need some time to set up, though certain pokemon like Yveltal will start swinging for 60 turn 2. Blastoise is very similar but at turn 3 a keldeo ex can hit for 110, or even turn 2 blastoise.

I feel like this deck will just flop around sacrificing a bunch of pokemon only to set up a 90 hp weavile that can in theory hit for a ton, but will then get knocked out after you attack. Not to mention you have a 50% chance of starting with exeggcute. Horrible odds imo. Which is just a turn 1 Laserbank away from an instant loss.

Either way this deck needs Blend/rainbow energy to even think of being consistent. It also needs more pokemon to start with. I suggest Tropius, as it has a decent 100 hp basic. 1 energy return to draw up to 6 cards, helping you set up. More supporters are needed, skyla almost most importantly. Twisted mountain is also a must for this deck if it has any hope of getting set up even the slightest bit consistently.

Dropping 3 float stones, 2 tool scrappers, 1-2 level balls, 1 ultra ball, just to make space for needed stuff. 1 super rod. Get rid of life dew for computer search. You need to get set up ASAP. Drop a few energy, probably 1 of each. 4 grass and 4 dark for 4 blend and 4 rainbow. With the addition of 2 more dark should be enough. Drop dark patches since they wont be helpful with so little basic dark energy. a 2-2 Cradily line is enough.

Pokemon lineup should be something like
2 Tropius (Starter and draw power)
4-4 Weavile (Attacker)
4 Exeggcute(Resource)
2-2- Cradily
2 Venusaur

If you want to run a deck with cradily. 10 basics is much better than 6. Plus it reduces the chance to start with Exeggcute to 40%.
