Hey Socery,

Your deck list looks great, however your trainer count and Pokémon count is not right. You listed 16 Pokémon instead of 15, and 36 Trainer cards instead of 37. Now the total of cards is still 60 so there wouldn't be a problem. But you also mentioned Mega Turbo which I don't see listed anywhere.

My only concern would be the supporter section, 5 draw supporters is never really sufficient. What will help are the 4 VS Seekers and Trainers' Mail, but I wouldn't want to rely on that. Hex Maniac looks unesecarry to me.
Bats are no thread really, Mega Sceptile is immune to all abilities done by the opponent's Pokémon. And it can heal the benched Pokémon in an instant.
Giratina EX can easily be dealt with by using Jirachi and Enhanced Hammer. If that doesn't work out you can still attack Giratina using Sceptile EX's basic form.
Just like Giratina EX you can give Seismitoad a really hard time with Jirachi. But even better you can One Hit K.O. Seismitoad EX by using Unseen Claw or Jagged Saber. Both matches don't see problematic to me, so instead I would increase consitency by adding another draw supporter.
I hope this will help :)
