Hey, I'm trying to get back into tcg. Been working on a deck that I can hopefully take to a tourney, but mostly looking to have some fun.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Pokemon - 20
3 - 2 - 3 Dusknoir
2 -2 Mandibuzz
2 -2 Raticate
2 Darkrai EX
1 Mew EX (DR 120)
1 Elgyem (NV 55)

Trainers - 23

3 Rare Candy (DE 100)
2 Energy Retrieval (BW 92)
2 Energy Search (BC 128)
2 Tool Scrapper (DR 116)
2 Ultra Ball (DE 102)
2 Level Ball (ND 89)
2 Giant Cape (DR 114)
2 Bianca (BC 147)
4 Skyla (BC 134)
2 N (NV 92)

Energy - 17

4 Double Colorless Energy (ND 92)
4 Prism Energy (ND 93)
4 Psychic Energy
5 Darkness Energy

Strategy is snipe around with everything, and shuffle around damage counters to ko weaker pokemon, use raticate to put a lot of counters on at once.
I've playtested it a bit but am having a little trouble getting it all up and running
 
I can't see where all the lines/different cards are. It's hard to make suggestions with a sloppy (no offense) OP. One thing I can notice so far is that you only have 3 Candies and 2 N's. 4 N is needed early and late game to set up/cripple respectively. 4 Candy is needed in every Stage 2 deck imo to have it when you need it.

fixed up the OP a little, sorry.

So, having 4 skyla to get candy in case I need it situationally is worse than just 4 candy?
 
I run a deck similar to this and my pokemon line is as follows
2-1-2 dusknoir
2-2 raticate
3 darkrai
2 sableye
Pokemon: 14

You should also add some lasers virbanks ( very good with dusknoir) and patches.
I would suggest cutting the prism energies, one DCE , and all psychic and changing the total dark energy to 10. This should give you room to add some dark patches which are great with darkrai and for setting up a ratticate.

P.S sorry if this is sloppy, posting from phone.
