Strategy:
This deck basically revolves around the matchup; against a Big Basics deck (Toad, VirGen, Yveltal, etc.), Pyroar + Catchers can take control of the game, making it very difficult for the opponent to even get damage off. Similarly, against different opponents (such as Flareon, Night March, or most decks in general), Seismitoad can stall quite effectively, as pretty much everyone already knows. Trainer's Mail and Electrode help greatly with acceleration and drawing into a crucial supporter.
I'd like to know your opinion on how this deck may do in the current and future metagame, and what you would recommend in the remaining 3 slots.
Any response is appreciated, thanks!
 
When I first seen the post I thought it was going to be more Pyroar based, but I like that it runs 4 Seismitoad EX. Pyroar by itself seems to be a dead deck because so many decks now are starting to play evolutions and being based around Mega pokemon that Pyroar just cant keep up. Toad will continue to be good.

With the three slots I would consider adding another Virbank City gym because I dont think 2 will be sufficiant with all of the decks playing multiple stadiums. I would also drop 2 fire energy and add in some Muscle bands. I would also drop a Blacksmith for a Lysandres Trump card because you dont have as many outs to fire energy then. I just feel that the deck will function better as a Seismitoad EX deck but with the option to attack with Pyroar's when needed.
