Expanded Emperor's Army!! Empoleon and Al. Sandslash

After a prerelease for Ultra Prism, I managed to acquire enough supplies to make an Empoleon Deck!! This is the current list...
Pokémon: 21
4 Empoleon UlP (Or maybe 1 of Dark Explorers too?)
3 Prinplup UlP
4 Piplup UlP
3 Alolan Sandslash GuR
4 Alolan Sandshrew GuR
1 Alolan Vulpix GuR
1 Oranguru SuM
1 Shaymin EX

Energy: 9
9 Water

Trainers: 30
3 Sky Field
2 Target Whistle
4 Ultra Ball
2 Nest Ball
1 Rescue Stretcher
1 Super Rod
1 Float Stone
3 Rare Cady
2 Choice Band

2 Sycamore
2 Cynthia
2 N
2 Lillie
2 Lysandre
1 Lusamine

The Sandslash is good bench fodder as well as good little draw support. The idea is to load the bench and attach for big numbers. Whistle helps boost, and can be a real nuisance if you overlead their bench with their discarded Leles or Shaymin, which are also good bonus prizes. I wanna fit in Aqueous Patches, as well as more energy. I will have 1 lele to spare for this deck, adn I'm trying to figure out where to put it.
All in all, I just need help making this alright.
Thanks!!
 
This is an expanded deck, so do put some VS Seeker in here, and some Dive Ball, if you can find them. To play 4 VS Seeker and 3 Dive Ball, you should probably cut:
-2 Nest Ball
-1 Alolan Sandshrew
-1 N
-1 Cynthia
-1 Lysandre
-1 Lillie

Sounds good?
 
Hmmm I think instead of the A. Sandslash you should replace with Zoroark GX as it is clearly a better partner. Here is what I'm thinking:

4-2-4 Empoleon line
3-3 Zoroark GX
2 Shaymin EX
2 Tapu Lele GX
1 Oricorio
1 Oranguru

2 Professor Sycamore
1 N
2 Colress
1 Hex Maniac
1 Guzma
1 Lysandre
4 VS Seeker
3 Rare Candy
2 Brigette
3 Sky Field
1 Rescue Stretcher
4 Ultra Ball
3 Aqua Patch
1 Battle Compressor

9 Water

This list was made on the spot so it might not be the best, but this is how it should be ran.

I like this, and was even looking for Dive ball already!!
But I really want to work in this aqua patch... do you think this list even needs it?

I would do Zoroark. I fact, I actually started with Zoroark! But unfortunately I have not enough to spare; they are all in a different deck! So I don't have the resources to pull off Empoleon Zoroark... any other slightly cheaper options?

I actually didn’t even see Aqua Patch, and I don’t think this list really needs it necessarily, but it can be a nice thing to have.
