Strategy:

Start off with Seismitoad to slow down your opponent and build up a M Manectric on the bench. Switch into M Manectric and power up an Yveltal. Then just start using Evil Ball and win the Game! :)
 
Looks pretty solid. The changes I'd make are:

-2 Battle Compressors (discarding the energies to recycle them works better in theory than real life)
-1 Ultra Ball (I'm a 3 Ultra Ball kind of guy)
-1 Absol (I think you'd be better off with 3 Baby Yveltal, or just using this spot on another Trainer)
-2 Switch (You have a lot of switching cards despite Darkrai's ability)
-1 Professor's Letter (1 should be plenty)
-2 Shadow Circle (Virbank is the better play here, especially because you don't want to turn off your opponent's weakness if they play Yveltal)
-1 Darkrai (1 is usually enough)

+4 Hypnotoxic Laser (Seismitoad is much more effective this way)
+2 Virbank City Gym (to compliment the Lasers)
+1 Muscle Band (3 is usually the minimum)
+1 VS Seeker (versatile card)
+1 Colress (need a little more draw support)

14 energy seems like a lot. I'd try to find a way to cut two of them to add more energy removal cards (another Hammer, Team Flare Grunt, etc..). Keldeo and Energy Switch are also nice cards to play in decks like this if you can find the room.
 
14 energy is alot but in this deck I feel like that many energy is needed. Shadow cirlce is a card that I feel need to be in this deck. If you are playing donphan, or other M manectric decks you will be playing with a big hill to climb just to keep up.
 
I was testing this online and was wondering if I should run a Malamar EX?
Any thought on that's?
 
I play a similar deck and I highly suggest you take out one baby Yveltal for another enhanced hammer. You will need it for your donphan match up and switch out one of your DCEs for 1 dark. You will need it for Keldeo switching.

-1 Yveltal
-1 DCE
+1 Enhanced Hammer
+1 Dark Energy
