Strategy Overview
Thanks to Aegislash and Tyranitar's prominence, Reuniclus's life in VGC14 is definitely not easy. Reuniclus can be compared to Aromatisse; they have similar bulk, and both are Trick Room setters. However, Aromatisse was blessed with two gifts in the form of its Fairy typing, an incredible defensive typing in this metagame, and Aroma Veil, which protects its allies from being Taunted or Encored. However, Reuniclus has its advantages over Aromatisse: namely, its greater raw power and Magic Guard. With Magic Guard, Reuniclus can use Life Orb without losing HP, as it becomes immune to any form of residual damage. Reuniclus has a ton of utility options as well, such as Helping Hand, Thunder Wave, Reflect, Light Screen, and some useful coverage moves such as Energy Ball and Shadow Ball. However, while Reuniclus's power is nothing to laugh at, it can sometimes miss out on some important OHKOs and 2HKOs, and it has a disappointing typing, both offensively and defensively. Reuniclus also lacks spread and priority moves. While it does have decent bulk, it can't take most STAB or super effective moves very well. Finally, it can be Taunted or Encored, unlike Aromatisse, and its poor Speed stat has no real use outside of Trick Room.
