    Planning on going multi with a friend at the battle tree (For the 50 streak battle stance) so first off:

    I need some suggestions for a good pokemon that uses moves like Reflect, light screen, safeguard, etc.


    And second I need a good pokemon that can put some decent hits out while also supporting my partner whether it be buffs, status heal, or things like helping hand.

    Any and all suggestions please~

    You may want to find out what it is exactly your friend is going to use so you can synergize better with them.

    Klefki gets all those moves you mentioned plus it has Prankster and a decent defensive type.
     
    Klefki does indeed seem the standard for the screen role these days so I will slap it on th top of my list.

    Got any rough suggestions for support pokemon? Pokemon that use moves like helping hand or aromatherapy?
     
    Only thing that comes to my mind for helping hand is minun/plusle but they aint too tough but I know there's more hm.
     
    I'd definitely recommend that each of you runs a mega. Charizard Y/Kangaskhan, Salamence/Metagross and Kangaskhan/Gengar are all good options that want fairly similar team mates.
     
    If you wanna do the ultimate friend strat multi team, check out this new Ribombee gal:

    Typing is Bug/Fairy, death to fighting types. Obviously deals with a lot of strong stuff very well, in both resistances and offensively. It gets good dual stabs too - for nice coverage.

    It's one of the few new things that's pretty dang fast - and it gets quiver dance if you feel like having a setup option.

    The big team-support thing though - its signature move, pollen puff? It's a 90 base power special bug attack, but it's not just bug buzz. You can hit an opponent, OR when you target your ally, it'll heal them instead. Couple that with Ribombee's speed, and you have some multi battle options.

    It has a support movepool besides that too, but that move gives it a support and attack option, so - really neat. It also gets Draining Kiss which'll give it its own healing and a fairy attack option, even if it's low base power.

    As Nah said above though; a lot will depend on what your friend is running. If it doesn't synergize well, there may be better options.

    I imagine this would be great on the early phases of the Battle Tree, but surely there will be something on the super/later battles that can rock slide Ribombee. And in my experience, it doesn't take those. From anything.

    Just sayin.

    It probably won't be taking rock slides comfortably, but if there's screen action it may; and with 124 base speed - it's definitely outspeeding anything that's not aerodactyl on the punch there. Plus, it's not going to be alone here, between a teammate and a backup to switch out of, I don't think one prominent double battle move should keep it from being handy. Or if it's already been led with or quiver danced, dude 95 sp atk with a +1 pollen puff? It could outspeed and OHKO some sheet.

    Mine isn't properly bred or natured, so it's not what its bulk could be even without investments, but I do believe with the doubles reduction in power rock slide won't always be a OHKO. And again, really - teammates. If you felt like running it, intimidate or screens if you REALLY wanted to prepare for rock slide specifically.

    Said some things here. All productive, but a little lengthy and highly contextual. In my opinion, Ribombee is high risk for little reward. That does not mean it is not fun or worth trying. Read if you will.

    tl;dr - I think Ribombee can be used in this setting - it's battle tree yo. And it's got viability.

    I have little confidence in a pokemon that I have OHKOd throughout the game but it's definitely worth trying.
