The first team has serious Ice and Fairy weaknesses. The team is purely hyper offensive and might struggle with more tanky based teams that have Pokemon such as Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, Scizor, Latios etc.
I would advise running Protect on Absol and doing the EV spread to maximize speed and then use the remaining 256 between special attack and attack. Never take away points from Absol's speed for it is the only thing that makes it an effective glass cannon. You could run Justified over Pressure just so that when you switch to evade Dark moves, you get the attack boost. Superpower already checks what Fire Blast needs to so I recommend running either Ice Beam or Play Rough over it.
Do this spread for Doublade: 236 HP, 20 Atk, 252 SpDef. The extra 4 in HP doesn't increase the stat so put it into attack to get an extra point.
No reason to run speed investments on Kingdra especially if you aren't relying on Rain or Agility for speed. Draco Meteor is better than Dragon Pulse for it hits harder plus when it crits, the SpAtk drop is negated.
As for the second team:
Why run a Sun sweeping Venusaur without the sun? It'd be better to just slap on a Mega stone and do a bulky build.
Black Sludge or Life Orb would be better on Gengar in this situation along with a Timid Nature.
Why not run U-turn on Crobat for switch priority?
