Moves
=========

Knock Off is the main move on this set, allowing Reuniclus to remove items from the opposing Pokemon to enable its teammates. Recover provides Reuniclus with immediate healing, allowing it to consistently stave off threats like Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham. Psychic is a strong STAB move that can make progress on defensive Pokemon such as Clefable and Gliscor. Thunder Wave completes the moveset, providing Reuniclus additional utility in spreading paralysis to cripple offensive Pokemon such as Mega Metagross, Kyurem-B, and Serperior.

Set Details
========

Maximum physical bulk lets Reuniclus fulfill its role in checking physical attackers such as Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Metagross. Rocky Helmet enables Reuniclus to spread chip damage to wear down the aformentioned threats. Magic Guard lets Reuniclus act as a status absorber due to its immunity to passive damage from burn and poison. It also allows Reuniclus to be unfazed by entry hazards, thus improving its ability as a defensive check.

Usage Tips
========

Reuniclus should be used to switch into physical attackers such as Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Metagross, since it can spread chip damage by taking their contact attacks. Reuniclus should avoid facing off against Dark-types like Weavile, Tyranitar, and Bisharp, since they can deal heavy damage with their Dark-type moves, even threatening an OHKO.

Team Options
========

Reuniclus fits best on balance and bulky teams looking for a Mega Medicham answer due to their poor matchup against it. Teammates such as Chansey greatly appreciate Reuniclus's ability to deal with the Fighting-types that otherwise threaten it. Entry hazard setters such as Skarmory and Ferrothorn make for good teammates for Reuniclus, since they benefit from Reuniclus's ability to remove Leftovers with Knock Off, thus increasing the impact of Spikes. They also synergize with Reuniclus in that their hazards help to chip down Pursuit trappers such as Tyranitar and Weavile that greatly threaten Reuniclus. Pokemon that resist Dark-type attacks such as Mega Lopunny and Clefable also make for fantastic teammates, since they cover Reuniclus's one major weakness to Dark while also taking advantage of Dark-types to either wallbreak or set up and sweep. These Pokemon also appreciate Reuniclus wearing down their checks with Knock Off and Rocky Helmet chip damage.

Moves
=========

Knock Off is the main move on this set allowing Reuniclus to remove items from the opposing Pokemon to enable its teammates. Recover provides Reuniclus with immediate healing allowing it to consistently stave off threats like Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham. Psychic is the main attack of choice allowing Reuniclus to nail threaten the Fighting-types it is meant to check such as Mega Lopunny as well as Poison-types like Mega Venusaur and Amoonguss. Night Shade can be run over Psychic giving Reuniclus consistent 100 HP damage to all Pokemon at the expense of being able to hit Normal-types such as Chansey and Mega Lopunny.(Night Shade seems kind of useless to me, but if not you should make a case for those situations where it is better) Thunder Wave completes the moveset is the last move of choice providing Reuniclus additional utility in spreading paralysis to cripple opposing Pokemon (such as - when is that especially useful).

Set Details
========

The given EV spread allows Reuniclus to survive two Mega Diancie Moonblasts from full with Leftovers recovery while the rest of the EVs are placed into Defense to allow allowing Reuniclus to check the Fighting-types it is meant to check in Mega Medicham and Mega Lopunny as well as other physical attackers such as Mega Metagross. When running using Colbur Berry as the item, Reuniclus should run an EV spread of 252 / 200 Def / 68 SpD to guarantee surviving two Mega Diancie Moonblasts since it no longer has Leftovers Recovery. Rocky Helmet should also be considered when running Night Shade instead of Psychic to allow Reuniclus to spread chip damage on the Fighting-type Pokemon it can no longer hit such as Mega Lopunny. (I would put RH set 2nd, since you get immediate dmg on the physical attackers, which is particular useful on this utility Reuniclus). Magic Guard is the ability of Choice letting Reuniclus absorb burnes and poisons, aswell as allowing it to be unfaced by entry hazards, improving its ability as a defensive check.

Usage Tips
========

Reuniclus fits best on balance and fat teams looking for a Mega Medicham answer due to their poor matchup into it. (You could add Hazard Stacking teams - due Magic Guard) Reuniclus should be used to switch in to physical attackers such as the aformentioned Mega Medicham as well as other attackers such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Metagross to threaten them with Thunder Wave and possibly capitalise on their potential switch out with Knock Off. Reuniclus should avoid facing off against Dark-types like Weavile, Tyranitar, and Bisharp when not holding Colbur Berry since they can deal heavy damage with their Dark-type moves own Knock Off potentially even getting threatening an OHKO. (RH set can be used to punish physical attackers, including Excadrill using Rapid Spin)

Team Options
========

Teammates such as Chansey greatly appreciate Reuniclus' ability to deal with the Fighting-types that otherwise threaten it. Other Pokemon such as Skarmory also appreciate benefit from Reuniclus' ability to spread Knock Off to remove opposing Leftovers thus increasing the impact of Spikes. Clefable also appreciates Reuniclus ability to free up its moveslots since it no longer has to worry about being a check to physical attackers with Knock Off or Thunder Wave since Reuniclus has taken up that role. Reuniclus' presence allows Clefable to run more offensive sets such as Life Orb Calm Mind thus letting it pose an offensive threat. Additionally, Clefable also resists the Dark-type moves that threaten Reuniclus thus allowing Reuniclus to more freely drop Colbur Berry as its item. Further entry hazards help to chip down the Pursuit trappers faster, therefore Pokemon like Skarmory and Ferrothorn make good teammates for Reuniclus.

Please rewrite with new set

Usage Tips
========

Reuniclus fits best on balance and fat teams, such as hazard stacking structures, looking for a Mega Medicham answer due to their poor matchup into it. Reuniclus should be used to switch in to physical attackers such as the aforementioned Mega Medicham as well as Mega Lopunny and Mega Metagross especially when holding Rocky Helmet since it can spread chip damage from their contact attacks. (AP) as well as threaten them with Thunder Wave and possibly capitalise on their potential switch out with Knock Off. Reuniclus should avoid facing off against Dark-types like Weavile, Tyranitar, and Bisharp when not holding Colbur Berry since they can deal heavy damage with their Dark-type moves even threatening an OHKO. (Removed Bold)

Team Options
========

Teammates such as Chansey greatly appreciate Reuniclus' ability to deal with the Fighting-types that otherwise threaten it. Hazard setters such as Skarmory and Ferrothorn make good teammates for Reuniclus since they benefit from Reuniclus' ability to spread Knock Off to remove opposing Leftovers thus increasing the impact of Spikes. They also synergise with Reuniclus in that their entry hazards help to chip down Pursuit trappers such as Tyranitar and Weavile that greatly threaten Reuniclus.

Reuniclus' presence allows Clefable to run more offensive sets such as Life Orb Calm Mind thus letting it pose an offensive threat. Additionally, Clefable also resists the Dark-type moves that threaten Reuniclus thus allowing Reuniclus to more freely drop Colbur Berry as its item.
