Ive put the zoroarks in mosty because i only own two shaymins, so if i had 4 i would run 4 and just add more consistency. With that being said its a somewhat standard build for Mega Ray since Magearna came out with a few techs for the Meta. I feel like it does needs more consistency but not sure what could go?..
 
Nice List!

The list is great to me apart from the smaller number of pokemon recovery cards eg. karen, brocks' guts. You only run 1 super rod, and that could prove to be a problem after a large bench set up, and an opposing parallel city is played. Because you only run the 2 Shaymin (and I can respect that), it could prove to be very difficult to recover from being hit down to 3 bench and only have the 1 super rod. I would suggest -1 Metal Energy +1 super rod/ Brocks' Guts/ Karen (depending on what is run in your area. If they play vespiquen run karen, if they play anything else (with parallel or whatnot) run either or (super rod or Brock). This should help the recover stage of an unfavourable matchup a little bit, and gut up to swinging for big damage next turn.

Another thing I think is a MUST HAVE is a 4th VS Seeker. I can understand the financial situation (HATE Shaymin) but it is almost compulsory in a speed ray list. If anything, try to get ahold of another one. If not, i would suggest more draw supporters eg. another Sycamore or N (I prefer Sycamore but N is good for early game) as you can't recycle them as easily with only 3 Seeker. I would cut the olymia OR the 4th Ray (only if you have to).

These are my thoughts anyways, so take them with a grain of salt. I also have a similar thread further down in the Deck garage at http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/threads/m-rayqauza-w-magearna.136508/

Keep it up, and test to find the right list for you.
