    ... I don't even understand your first sentence. Also, you need items on your team. I don't know if that Hydreigon is choiced or what or I don't even know.

    Don't run Protect on Hydreigon. Run Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, or U-turn.

    Darmanitan looks fine from a move perspective.

    Ferrothorn needs a more mixed spread to abuse those amazing defenses; you can't go too far one way or the other or you risk losing its viability. 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpDef is a good spread.

    Lastly, we're not here to make a team for you. If you go find three more Pokemon and play around with it, I'd be perfectly fine rating the rest of your team, but until then, there's no point.

    Could you please define a "more mixed spread"? like which moves should i use to abuse them?

    and hydreigon is holding a life orb, darmanian is holding a choice scarf, and ferrothorn leftovers.

    ^ This, we need a full team before we can rate anything, otherwise this would be better posted in the Simple Q&A thread :(

  • Mienshao isn't good at Endrevving as Lucario is. It's better in the lead slot with:
    -Fake Out
    -U-turn
    -Hi Jump Kick/Drain Punch
    -Stone Edge
    nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Regeneration

    The lack of STAB hurts on Ferrothorn. It takes time for it to set up Curse, so I'd make it into this instead:
    -Stealth Rock/Leech Seed
    -Spikes/Leech Seed
    -Power Whip
    -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave
    Nature: Relaxed/Sassy
    EVs: 252 HP/48 Def/208 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    Eelektross is a good attacker under Trick Room, but under normal circumstances, it's too slow to sweep, IMO. I'd replace it with Jellicent, who has excellent synergy with Ferrothorn:
    -Scald
    -Toxic/Will-o-Wisp
    -Recover
    -Taunt/Shadow Ball/Ice Beam
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb

    Archeops is interesting, but it's screwed badly by Scizor. I'd have:
    -Rock Slide/Stone Edge
    -Acrobatics
    -Earthquake
    -U-turn/Dragon Claw/Crunch
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Flying Gem

    or

    -Rock Slide/Stone Edge
    -Earthquake
    -Crunch/Dragon Claw
    -U-turn
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band

    Hydreigon is best with:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Fire Blast
    -Surf
    -U-turn
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf

    Reuniclus is terrible. I'd have:
    -Psychic/Psyshock
    -Focus Blast/Calm Mind
    -Shadow Ball/Calm Mind
    -Recover
    Nature: Bold/Modest
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef or 252 HP/4 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Magic Guard
