You could add some Double Turbo Energy because it won’t reduce placing damage counters from Raticate’s attack and it provides 2 energy instead of 1. Also if you’re needing more basics in play more quickly consider Artazon, as it’s a stadium anyway so it works well with this deck, but it can also obviously be advantageous to your opponent sometimes.
As you’re playing a Hisuian Heavy Ball, you could remove one of the two Skwovets if you needed more space (for Artazon, maybe), as I usually find myself only needing one Nest Stash per turn, but it’s up to you!
Looks like a fun and powerful deck!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look over my deck. Artazon seems like a fun inclusion. I think I'll add Galarian Moltres V as a backup attacker.

Absol from Astral Radiance is a good tech for this deck, because if your opponents aren't healing, and they have a bunch of damaged Pokemon, then you can just knock them all out. Hawlucha SVI would also fill this spot. I might add some reversal energies, since you're usually going to have one of your pokemon knocked out early, and it's a great way to have a raticate attacking in one turn. Also Dyna Tree Hill from Chilling Reign might be nice as it's a stadium, and it prevents your opponents from knocking off your math with something like Cheryl. Other than that it's a great deck! As an afterthought, Exp. Share could also work. Hope this helps.

I've actually made this deck, except with Garbador instead of Paldean Clodsire ex. Garbador's ability is the same as Paldean Clodsire's, but Clodsire has better attacks. It's a pretty good deck, your's is way better bc mine is just made from scratch with some random cards, didn't order any. I did add Double Turbo.

I’ve made this same deck but it wasn’t consistent
