Hi, my name is Zach and this is the deck I came in fourth with at the STS.
The deck is good but could you please give it a casual fix. I believe you
are one of the best pokemon players. Please bring this up to your level.

Wow. I almost wonder who am I to fix a deck that got a Bronze medal at the STS since I finished a measly 14th, but I will give it a go anyway. =)
I will assume an STS fix for this deck. For the Pokemon, I would start by trimming it down by 1. I think 11 basics is just fine. What to cut is a hard call, though. I would probably go with Ditto simply because both he and Wigglytuff are DCE hogs, and you want them more available for your big gun.
With Energy, I would consider running it a bit tighter and faster. Go ahead and drop one lightning. I do like Rainbow, and would even consider a 3rd over another lightning, but that is your choice. Swords Dance is brutal early, but not as good late.
With trainers, we have 2 slots open. Start by making them a 4th Plus Power and 4th Rocket Sneak. Those cards rule. in this environment. Drop 1 Lass and all 3 SER for 4 ER. They are lighter and faster in this environment, and can get the job done just as well most of the time. Drop 1 Bill and 1 Gust for the 3rd Item Finder and the 3rd Computer Search. They are pivitol cards to seeing the combo. As much as I hate to do this, kill the other Lass too. This pains me greatly, but I think it's a cut we have to make. Turn it into a Nightly Garbage Run, and make an Energy Retrieval a Run also. This card is more for getting back Wigglytuffs if need be, but energy also of course.
That's about it. Here is my final version.
4 Jigglypuff
3 Wigglytuff
3 Electabuzz
2 Ditto
2 Scyther
8 Lightning Energy
2 Rainbow Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy
4 Rocket Sneak Attack
4 Energy Removal
4 PlusPower
2 Gust of Wind
4 Professor Oak
3 Bill
2 Switch
3 Computer Search
2 Nightly Garbage Run
1 Energy Retrieval
3 Item Finder
These are just my suggestions, but obviously the deck was good to being with. Congratulations and good luck!
