    So let me cut to the chase, There are 6 wonderful pokemon on my team, but one of them got to make place for Rufflet (I need fly). I need some help which one needs to get boxed to make place for it, as well as some moveset Suggestions.

    Here goes:

    Leavanny
    Impish

    Planned:
    -Swords Dance
    -Leaf Blade
    -X-Scissor
    -Shadow Claw

    Current:
    Spoiler:

    A powerful member of my team, She's quite fast and able to hit all non-flyers for serious damage.

    Galvantula
    Bold

    Planned:
    -Electroball/thuderbolt
    -Bug Buzz
    -Energy Ball
    -Agility/thunderwave

    Current:
    Spoiler:

    Unique in typing, and with his fast and powerful special attacks he can knock out many opponents.

    Lilligant:
    Calm

    Planned:

    -Quiver Dance
    -Leech Seed
    -Synthesis???
    -Petal Dance

    Current:
    Spoiler:

    Bulky, despite low defensive stats, she's able to regain almost all HP she'll lose during battle, but she can't take on other grass types.

    Haxorus
    Jolly

    Planned:
    -Swords or Dragon dance
    -Dragon Claw
    -Earthquake
    -Brick Break/X-scissor/Shadow Claw

    Current:
    Spoiler:

    Monster attack and good speed allow him to tear through almost anything.

    Chandelure
    Quiet

    Planned:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Flamethrower
    -Energy Ball
    -Psychic

    Current:
    Spoiler:

    Kinda like Haxorus, but on the Special spectrum instead.

    Samurott
    Jolly

    Planned:
    -Megahorn
    -Swords Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Ice Beam

    Current:
    Spoiler:

    Has good physical and special stats, it has never let me down.

    Braviary
    Adamant/Jolly

    Planned:
    -Fly
    -Super Power
    -Bulk Up
    -Rockslide/Shadow Claw
    Probably the coolest normal/flying type in my opinion, I really want this guy on my team.

    I'm at Twist mountain, on my way to the next city. I think either Leavanny, Lilligant or Galvantula has to go to the box, and I'm thinking about keeping the two grass types.

    comments appreciated.
     
    The choice is completly up to you, but I suggest you either Leavanny or Lilligant out, mainly because their both grass and could get easily K.O'ed by a decent fire type :/ as for the movesets I think you've picked out some pretty good choices there! :)

    Bug's also weak to fire, which means that both Galvantula, Leavanny and Lilligant have a big porblem when facing fire types. I chose to drop Galvantula from the team though (Since he's useless against Rock-types and I like the other two better)

    Anyway some additional comments are appreciated!
     
    Poor choice in my view. Galvantula is one of the best Pokemon I've raised so far. Once you get the Energy Ball TM, he's suddenly not so useless against Rock-types. Plus, assuming your Galvantula has Compoundeyes (its other ability is appalling in-game) then you should give it Thunder asap for a 120BP (180 after STAB) move with 91% accuracy thanks to the ability boost.

    I'd keep Lilligant over Leavanny, but having raised neither of them I'm probably not the person to ask. How come you got rid of Giga Drain on your Lilligant? It learns it at Lv.26 as a Petilil, so I suppose you must have evolved it before it learnt Giga Drain. The reason I ask is that you could basically use Giga Drain to replace Synthesis AND Petal Dance (and potentially Leech Seed too), then use the remaining slot(s) for something a bit different. Bulbapedia shows me that Lilligant's coverage moves are pretty limited, so something like Safeguard (I love that move); better still, Sleep Powder/Dream Eater (the latter by TM85, found in the Dreamyard Basement) would do the trick and give even more health recovery.

    TL,DR: I'd keep Galvantula and Lilligant, and go with:

    Galvantula (Compoundeyes)
    Thunder
    Bug Buzz
    Energy Ball
    *coverage move - my Galvantula has Poison Jab but that's a bit redundant with Bug Buzz too. Seeing as your Galvantula has a -Atk nature, Thunder Wave is as good as anything, or Sucker Punch if paralhaxing doesn't float your boat*

    Lilligant (Own Tempo, better in-game as you don't have a Sunny Day team)
    Sleep Powder
    Dream Eater
    Giga Drain
    Quiver Dance

    EDIT: I'm actually going to raise a Lilligant now. I didn't want to previously but that set looks really fun :)
     
    I caught my lilligant as a lilligant in the shaking grass, so i acn't get giga drain and sleep powder. That doesn't really bother me anymore, it still wreaks havoc on enemies teams, and she was really power during the e4.

    Leavanny is also amazing, whooping everything except normal/flying types.

    That said I'll guess I'm going to take galvantula back out of the box and train him some more, too bad it's ability is swarm, I wasn't really paying attention when I caught it-.-
