    Can you even still do Wifi battles in Gen 5? (You still can on Showdown though)

    Anyway:
    Hydreigon's one and only ability is Levitate (which is nice). I prefer to not use Superpower on it. Superpower is a bit of an overrated move if you ask me. While Hydreigon has 105 base attack, it needs investment in Attack for its physical attacks to be useful, but it can't do that because it needs max Sp.Attack and Speed EVs. And dropping Hydreigon's Defense (and Attack) is not the best thing for it (or a lot Pokemon Smogon recommends Superpower for). The only other thing I can think of that you'd hit harder with Superpower than Focus Blast/Earth Power is Chansey and Blissey. Ok, rant done. Just replace Superpower with Earth Power or Focus Blast on Hydreigon.

    Trick Room has little use on Reuniclus. Most of your team is Pokemon that are a bit too quick for Trick Room to be useful on. If you use Trick Room, you generally need the whole team to be based around it. Swap Trick Room with Recover; Reuniclus likes to be able to heal.

    Leftovers isn't really the item for Gallade. It's a bit frail, so it doesn't benefit from Lefties. It's the kind of Pokemon mean to hit hard and fast (it does have more defensive sets, but I don't exactly see the merit in them when you can use other bulky attackers). And because of that, Close Combat is probably the better option over Drain Punch.

    Staraptor does the whole Choice Band&Brave Bird thing a bit better than Braviary, but I guess you can keep it. Rock Slide or Shadow Claw would be better than Return here. If it turns out to be a bit too slow, switch the Band with a Choice Scarf.

    Don't know enough about Eelektross so I'll skip that one...

    Seismitoad is not the first Water type, or even Water/Ground type I'd go for. Swampert and Gastrodon are much better than it. Plenty of other good Water types too. Here's a few things I'd recommend in place of Seismitoad:

    -Swampert w/Leftovers
    Nature: Relaxed
    Ability: Torrent
    EVs: 240 HP, 252 Defense, 16 Attack
    Moves: Earthquake, Waterfall/Scald, Toxic/Roar, Stealth Rock/Stone Edge

    -Gastrodon w/Leftovers
    Nature: Relaxed/Sassy
    Ability: Storm Drain
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Sp.Defense
    Moves: Scald, Earthquake, Recover, Ice Beam/Toxic

    -Vaporeon w/Lum Berry
    Nature: Bold
    Ability: Water Absorb
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Sp.Attack
    Moves: Scald, Wish, Protect, Toxic/Ice Beam

    These 3 are all good bulky water types. Take your pick, or use a different one (there are plenty of good water types, these 3 are just a few of them).

    Hope this helps.
     
    Thanks alot!
    To my despite I had already looked in swaping my Seismitoad but I cant use wifi on my ds it just does weird and even though I switch my routers password of so its open it still doesnt work. I dont. Know anybody else that plays pokemon and i have no siblings to trade with so im stuck with him. But thanks alot for the tips Gallade's leftovers was meant to make him last longer he is by far my favorite pokemon :D and I want him to survive haha
