Strategy: Everything is pretty self explanatory, just attack with Zoroark for high outputs of damage. Sneasel provides more Dark types with free retreat, Weavile goes hand and hand with Sneasel providing a chance to snag a key card or two from your opponent. Darkrai EX is a must in this deck, for both the free retreat and the attack that it has. Tornadus EX is the fighting counter. Absol is a possible starter if you find that your opponent opens with relatively few Pokemon. Sableye is for the times when you need to grab a couple of trainers back from the discard. The Trainers and Energy are pretty standard, with the exception of Energy Switch, which is there if I need a clutch retreat with Darkrai.
 
Well here's a few things I saw:

You have over-killed the juniper, you need only 2, you'll deck yourself out. -2 Juniper.
Sableye is just catcher bait and a Junk Arm does the job better, if you want to use the Dark Patch. -1 Sableye.
You really just need two sneasle, you will run out of bench space. -2 sneasle
The Dark Claw is a major need in the deck, it is incredibly consistent. +2 Dark Claw
If you run Tornadus, you need these. +2 DCE
And last but not least, if a Darkrai is prized, your dead.

I hope you take my suggestions!

Well, then that only leaves 8 dark basics that can fill up the bench, which makes zoroark stronger. Id do most of those changes as well. Maybe try, for the Pokemon
-1-0 weavile (perhaps 4-3 will be better)
-1 sableye (I don't think it's too necessary)
-0-1 zoroark (a BW one may be good)

+0-1 weavile (3-3 may be better)
+1 darkrai (2 is better)
+1 zoroark BW ( may be helpful in some cases)

Those might help for the Pokemon lines.
