Cards like Toedscruel PAR's slime mold colony ability can block effects like this. As Toedscruel is showing up competitively, maybe take a second look. As for them not going into the deck, I do not know of a card that would stop that.

It is possible that your opponent was playing with Toedscruel PAR's slime mold colony ability, which does not allow cards to be put from your discard into your hand.

There was a new Pikachu ex introduced in PRE, and it is not a Tera pokemon. However, there is a gold tera pikachu ex from PRE as well.

Not trying to troll or anything, just clarification that it is heavy baton, not iron :) Who played the cancelling cologne, and if it was the opposing player, what does mimikyu have to do with the situation? If it was you, the cancelling cologne would get arid of mimikyu's safeguard, and attacks would be able to go through.

I agree. Some possible effects of this could be The ability is bugged, and only works when Milotic is in the active The ability is bugged, and only prevents damage, not damage counters and other effects

You mention snorlax stall being a threat, as a reason to include some of the trainers. If this deck is being built for post-rotation, there would be no more snorlax stall to worry about :p.
