Hey
So I'm gonna start by saying that Plasma is one of the most under-rated decks right now. It hasn't lost too much, and it can still dish out some serious damage. That said, I think your deck needs a few tweaks:
- 4 Bicycle
- 1 TP Ball
- 2 Pokemon Catcher
- 1 Escape Rope

+ 2 Lysandre
+ 1 N
+ 2 Skyla
+ 3 Target Whistle

Explanations : First, you probably won't need bicycle because you already run 10 draw supporters, and Bicycle usually works better in decks that discard a lot from the hand (using Ultra Ball, Battle Compressor, etc.) but you don't have too much of that. Next, just take out 1 TP Ball, because late game it's just going to be a fodder card once you have a full bench. This next one is personally choice; I really think Pokemon Catcher is too inconsistent so I always run 3 Lysandre and no Catchers in all of my decks, but maybe you'd rather side with a coin flip. Lastly Escape Rope is actually a really good card in Plasma, but I needed one more card to take out and it was the only one I could think of to remove without dropping consistency (if you find another card to remove instead, please do so).
Next the cards I added : The two additional Lysandre are going to bring a lot more consistency to your deck, but again, if you believe in Pokemon Catcher, then drop these and keep the Pokemon Catchers. One more N is always nice, and I always try to run all 4. Skyla is a great card for Plasma, and with Computer Search, since it lets you grab any card in your deck. Lastly, Target Whistle is probably a card your unsure of. You will really only use it in the Pyroar match-up, but it drastically improves the match-up. If you can manage to knock-out a Litleo early game, you can target whistle it up to the bench and repeatedly KO it. Lugia's ability makes this much more worthwhile too, since you will getting 2 prizes per Litleo.

Alright, that's about it. I hope I helped a little bit. Let me know if you decide to go with any of these changes.
