    i can't help but notice that ALL of samurotts moves are water type. change one to ice beam and another to revenge. also, eelektross will have three moves of the same type. im not sure what other moves he can learn though, since i dont own one. for chandelure i reccomend charcoal if you have one. otherwise, idk. also, you cant go wrong with a rocky helmet, its really good (in my opinion). but this is all advice, so just do what you want.
     
    Right-o , Well before I start my review, I just want to say that you should avoid having 2 or more moves of the same type on a pokemon. The review's in the quote, changes in bold.
    Hope this helps you!

    Reuniclus @ Odd Incense
    F / Quirky / Lv. 71
    Recovery Focus Blast or Calm Mind
    Psyshock Energy Ball
    Psychic
    Heal BlockShadow Ball
    I wouldn't recommend recover or such moves on a in-game team, you can always use items, it just isn't worth a move-slot. You can use focus blast to overpower steel and dark types, but I'd stick with Calm Mind. Calm Mind stat increase will allow you to tear trough teams without having to switch, and I don't like Focus Blast's accuracy


    Chandelure @ Expert Belt (Suggestions on item?)
    M / Docile / Lv. 70
    Will-O-Wisp or Calm Mind
    HexEnergy Ball
    OverheatShadow Ball
    Flamethrower
    Overheat won't help you, and shadow ball will prove itself more useful against other fire types then Hex. Really use Energy Ball, because you can eliminate your rock/ground and water weaknesses that way. expert belt will prove itself more usefull if you are able to hit more types for super effective, so stick with that.

    Samurott @ Mystic Water
    M / Mild / Lv. 67
    Surf/Waterfall
    WaterfallMegahorn
    Hydro PumpIce Beam
    WaterfallGrass Knot
    You won't stand a chance against pokemon like Vaporeon or ludicolo with your current moves. Samurott has amazing offensive stats, and you can get the most out of them with these moves.

    Hydreigon @ Draco Plate
    M / Serious / Lv. 64 (Training)
    CrunchDark Pulse
    Hyper VoiceFlamethrower
    Dragon Pulse
    Dragon RushSurf
    Trust me, You'll be unstoppable with these moves!

    Braviary @ Razor Claw
    M / Rash / Lv. 63 (Training)
    Crush ClawSuperpower
    Shadow Claw
    Brave BirdRock Slide
    Fly
    Not much to say, this is the set I use, and it always works.

    Eelektross @ Exp. ShareRocky Helmet
    F / Relaxed / Lv. 56 (Training)
    Crunch
    Thunderbolt
    Spark Flamethrower(Replacing with Thunder when bought)No you ain't!
    Discharge Brick Break
    He's slow, so rocky helmet will help you damage your opponents when they move first. With his high attack and Sp. Attack you should be able to take most things out in 1 shot

    EDIT:Try giving a lucky egg to the pokes you're training, it'll increase the exp gained by 1.5x. It'll save you some time.

    You'll be fine with Crunch on Hydriegon. Trust me, you DON'T want to have to breed another one for it (yes it's only obtainable through breeding).

    I noticed that.. So I kept it. I would like a better moveset suggestion for Braviary than the one listed above..

    Sorry I didn't realise it was only learn it via Breeding.

    And for Braviary, there is hardly anything better. You might replace Fly with Brave Bird, but that'd leave you without a flyer. Other notable options are Return and Bulk Up.

    This is as far his useful options go, though. Normal/Flying types never had amazing movepools.

    What would be a good replacement of Braviary, that would contribute better to my team?

    Water types can be a danger to your team, since they usually carry ice moves, though your team has plenty of grass and electric moves to deal with them.

    If it has to be able to use fly, the best I can give you is Flygon, though it is weak against Ice types (like almost every fly-user), it can launch powerful Earthquakes, a move your team really could use. Here are the moves:

    Flygon
    Jolly or Adamant
    -Fly
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Dragon Claw

    Flygon can overcome it's weaknesses with Stone Edge and Dragon Claw. Earthquake will be extra powerful because the STAB it's receiving, and it'll allow you to knock out many things. Finally fly is there to get you from a to b, and it can also be used to damage grass and fighters.


    Hope this helps you!

    I will catch a Trapinch in the White Forest then. ;]
    Though, if you had to choose a Gen 5 replacement, what would you suggest?
