Hi there, I know this is a fun deck, but a couple of things to point out that I hope will help with consistency and the fun able to be had while playing this one:

The reversal energies don't work on anything except non-rule box evolution pokemon, so there isn't really anythign in here that they work on except I guess Gengar, but kinda a waste since it only needs 1 psychic. 

Earthen vessel also only gets basic energies, not special- so it currently can't get any energies out of your deck. I'd at least opt to drop the reversals for maybe 4 psychic energies, solving both issues.

I'd also opt to use ultra ball instead of capturing aroma since a heads on aroma can only get you a gengar, and the ultra ball acts as a pitch component to throw away other gengars in your hand.

I'd also consider Gapejaw Bog to help auto-damage durants as you put them into play. A bog in play early game and then even 3 durants coming down after is 6 dmaage counters, and 120 damage right out of the gate- not including if you can pull a gengar or two and damage pump more damage around. Additionally, if the opponent knocks out a durant in the active, those recuse carriers with Bog will allow you to replay the durant immediately with 2 more damage put on it so you can keep swinging for about the same numbers each turn.

Lastly, I'd consider something to make the durants tankier- maybe bravery charm. They'll likely get one-shotted by most stuff anyways, but being able to move more damage onto a benched one with more HP can really get the damage racking up.

Fun concept, definitely a fan of durants and the various "swarm" attacks they give them in the TCG. Good luck, hope this helps!

Thanks for the for the advice, although I do think I 'll keep one reversal energy so you can use hard scissors.

You should drop all Reversal Energy, as it is completely useless, and add maybe a Forest Seal Stone. I also don't see the point of Ditto and Pidgeot V, but I'm not very familiar with Pidgeot V, so idk. Also, another question you should ask yourself is whether a certain Radiant Pokémon would fit in your deck.

Ditto Is an alternate attacker & pidgeot v is for mill decks
