Im undecided on these two lists for my local tourney coming up soon. Any help/ suggestions would be extremely helpful. Keep in mind when making a critique that the tourney is not timed and does not reward in Championship Points towards Nats/Worlds. Also, my meta is full of Blastoise/Keldeo, and other decks that manually attach energy such as fighting decks and a few Yveltal based decks.

Quaking Puff Strategy: Another variant of the Seismitoad deck, but this time with Slurpuff. Since Slupuff provides Pokemon draw support, the deck is able to cut back on cards such as Professor Juniper/Sycamore, N, and Colress and include heay counts such as Team Flare Grunt, Enhanced Hammer, and Crushing Hammer, and other tech cards such as Max Potion.

I am really on the fence with these two decks as I intend to use these decks for the rest of the season. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to inform people of the strategy of this deck as it a red face paint deck that I made up myself. Thanks for all the feedback!
 
What are your plans on facing Pyroar or Suicune? Looks like useful decks nonetheless, personally I would go with option 2, it seems to have more of an advantage over close battles than option 1.
 
I didn't think of suicune, but for pyroar, u need to apply early pressure in order to have a chance, but once again, I have not seen a single pyroar at the place where I play
 
I like the 2nd list better. Lysandre's Trump Card is really good in here, though. Getting DCE, Hammers, and Lasers back is amazing. The Energy your opponent gets back can just be Hammer'd away, and all the Items they recover are unusable.

I would find room for 1-2 more Virbank City Gyms. Its damage boosting ability is essential in such a low-damage deck, and they help against the Pyroar/Safeguard problem. I would consider dropping a Max Potion, Professor's Letter, and a Crushing Hammer for these cards.
