Need a psychic deck that's not weak to dark types?  Try this single prize Tinkaton deck.  Tinkaton’s Special Hammer attack does an additional 90 damage if it has special energy attached.  Power-up Tinkaton in a single turn by attaching a Therapeutic Energy using Wigglytuff’s Balloon Therapy and then manually attach a psychic energy.  If you’re behind in prize cards us reversal energy instead.  Put the Exp. Share onto Wigglytuff and slowly build it up as your Tinkaton’s get knocked out.  A 100 HP attack can be very handy at the right time.  Alternatively, you could switch the Exp. Share with Vitality Band.  Bringing Tinkaton’s attack up to 190 per turn enables two hit KO’s on Pokémon with 280HP.  At the moment, I prefer the Exp. Share’s.  The Roseanne’s Backup and Super Rod combination work well in this deck to recover what you need in the moment.  Combined with the Bibarel and Tinkaton draw support you’ll frequently find the cards you need.  Although less reliable Tinkatink and Jigglypuff can disrupt you opponent in the early game buying you time to setup.  Tinkatink’s Smithereen Smash attack can remove energy preventing your opponent from attacking and Jigglypuff’s Sing will also stop them from attacking.  Both of these attacks rely on coin flips though, so don’t expect much consistency.  You could also potentially use Bibarel’s Tail Smash attack if desperate by attaching a Reversal Energy.  This enables all Pokémon in the deck capable of attacking.  You could try attaching combination of psychic and therapeutic energy to it too I suppose.  I don’t recommend it, but who am I to tell you how to play.  The other modification this deck could have is remove an energy or the single Tinkatuff card for a Luxray with the Swelling Flash ability.  Tinkaton does the same amount of damage (180) thoguh and doesn't damage your bench.

Why do you have bibarel if you already have the Tinkaton's ability?

chookling I found it helped getting setup quickly and out of some jams if I can't get Tinkaton setup.  It makes getting judged or Iono'd (which seems to be everywhere) not a big concern.  8 basic makes it much easier not to mulligan (34.64% chance of mulligan in its current format).

But mostly I'd say it is because I'm not an expert deck builder by any means and Bibarel seemed like a good draw support since I'm not playing that many supporters.
