Didn't your mother ever tell you it isn't nice to curse in public? ;)

Actually, looking over your deck, my suggestions are fairly minimal. Remove a Gengar and Ditto, and replace them with Scythers. This will give you a pokemon with a non-psychic attack. So when you meet pokemon that have resistance to Psychic, you can just switch over to Scyther and have him lay down the law.

Pokemon (13 Basic + 5 Evols = 18 Total):
4 Gastly (Fossil)
3 Haunter (Fossil)
2 Gengar
3 Mewtwo (Movie)
2 Ditto
4 Scyther

Now for energy, our deck is simple. 20 Psychic and 4 Double Colorless for those Scythers and Ditto.

Energy (20 Basic + 4 DCE = 24 Total):
20 Psychic
4 Double Colorless Energy

Finally, we'll pick out (60 - 18 - 24 = 18) 18 trainers to compliment our deck's purpose. Since we have very low retreat costs in this deck, it will be easy to maneuver around who is up front, so we won't need Switch or Scoop Up. Let's instead focus on Card Drawing and Disruption.

Trainers (18 Total):
4 Bill
2 Professor Oak
2 Computer Search
4 Super Energy Removal
3 Gust of Wind
3 Item Finder

Best of luck!
