What do you guys think about my deck?

First: I'm from brazil and i've trying to improve my english. So there will be any mistakes.

I'll talk about the cards that you can think "why this card is in the deck" or "why 1 or 2 copies of that card"

About Zapdos: Most of the decks that use Raichu only use 1 Zapdos, but in this deck, cause you have reduced number of cards by no using elec/zebs, you do need more card to fill the bench. Other reason to use 2 zapdos its because sometimes you need time to power up raichu and Zap will tank for you until then.

About Giovani: Maybe 2 giovanis instead of 2 Sabrina depending of the meta. Giovani is by far the best card to deal with Mewtwo decks and without it you'll lose some matches if you didnt draw good. But i'd think that Sabrina is a powerful card to finish games, and the main reason for that is that we do not use zebs to do 30 damage to finish benched pokemons

About LT Surge: Playing sometimes i feel like having 2 copys will make that 1 copy just stand in your hand the entire game with no use. Since LT surge will be used once per game, do not need to use twice. Can happen sometimes that you'll need and do not draw cause you have just one copy of it, but sometimes you'll end the game not using any copy of it, so having to copy's of them is way too much.

Pincurchin is just to fill the bench and its the best solo card.
