I've tried a similar deck, but kept getting wiped out by an eggdrill deck (FR/LG Exeggutor and Beedrill). Groudon's grass weakness takes away your heavy hitter and you don't have enough Camerupt/Numel to handle the beedrill swarm. I switched to a 3 zangoose/3 groudon/3 baltoy/3 numel/3 claydol/3 camerupt structure, which gives you enough basics to get a good start to the game and the ability to hit the grass decks over and over with the camerupt. Less than 3 camerupt and you simply cannot bring back your camerupt enough to get rid of the swarm.

I also suggest getting rid of the Pokemon Reversal (I hate flippy cards) but what you DO need is ATM Rock -- to get rid of those annoying stage 2 Pokemon brought into the game through Rare Candy. Maybe 2 of those, and I think that makes 60 cards. I would also trade the Rainbow Energy for Fire Energy -- Camerupt cannot pull rainbow out of the discard, but can get the fire or fighting energy for you. In a way, the fewer special energy cards you have in your deck, the better camerupt works, as your speed comes from being able to pull basic energy cards out of the discard pile.
 
RR u forgot that ATM Rock can not work for Owner in their name type pokemon
my fix
-4 TM Balls
-1 pokemon reversal
-3 Rainbow NRG
-1 TM Zangoose
+2 Vs seeker
+2 Celio's network
+1 psy energy
+1 fire energy
+1 TVR
+1 POR
 
Pokemon: 17

4 TM Zangoose
3 TM Groudon (You don't need more than 3 and you don't want the same odds as starting w/ Zangoose)
3 TM Claydol
3 TM Baltoy
2 TM Camerupt
2 TM Numel

Trainers: 25

3 Stevens Advice (I never run more than 3. By the time you get the fourth your hand is usally too big)
2 TM Ball (too flippy and the basics you'll get w/ Zangoose and Conspirator- though you'll usally want to get NRG with Conspirator, but early game you may need it to get Zangoose)
2 Pokemon Reversal
2 Mr Brineys Compassion
4 TV Reporter (I'll discard basic NRG first choice or extra Zangoose, then Pokes I'll get back w/ Maxie)
2 Maxie
2 TM Conspirator
1 TM Schemer
2 POR
2 Switch (w/ Claydol this can help alot)
3 Desart Ruins (what no stadiums?)

Energy: 18

4 Darkness NRG
4 Magma NRG
3 Rainbow NRG
3 Fighting
2 Psychic
2 Fire
I had your exact NRG count but I was having trouble getting the Psy and Fire when I needed them. With this count you do have to pay attention to using the Conspirators for getting NRG more. Every now and then I'll have alittle trouble getting the stage 1 Pokes but I'll usally get them in time (3 tourney wins so far but I've dropped it for Monarchy which usally owns this)
 
Thanks for the input guys, I have "slightly" changed my lineup. This still seems run run as smooth... Also I do not run stadiums or any anti EX because they are simply not a threat in my area and are really easy to take down anyway... I agree 4 reversals is a bit much, but I cant count how many games they have won me, and maybe 4 tm balls, i will tinker with these a bit. I also don't favor camerupt for fire simply because lack of grass players, celios IMO would slow me down if replaced tm ball,ill take the risk. After I PT against some new decks ill update my deck again.
