That Dragonite is poor, sorry. Dragon Rush is outclassed by Dragon Claw and Outrage.(I'd run one or the other, not both) (EDIT: You're not putting up entry hazards, so Dragon Tail will accomplish little). Since Dragon is only resisted by Steel, it's worth having Earthquake, Brick Break, or Fire Blast. Also, Dragon Dance is well worth having.

Sounds Logical,

My Dragonite was pretty new so it definitely needed some updating, I'll go ahead and replace Dragon rush with Dragon Claw, and stick Earthquake over Dragon Tail. Is Aqua Tail worth keeping?

While Butterfree is generally defeated by Dark types would it not make more sense to replace Psychic with something more Dark dominant?

As for Reuniclus.. Hmm. As I use him it seems like I'm limited harshly to only using certain moves. Any advice there?

Ahem...I forgot this was doubles. Earthquake's probably not such a good idea on Dragonite after all, you don't want to be unable to use it when Reuniclus or Mienshao is its partner.

Aqua Tail can be useful. Personally I think it goes best with Fire Blast, but you could use it with Brick Break too. (As it happens, any pair of Brick Break, Fire Blast, and Aqua Tail is SE against 7 types.)

I do like Fire Blast :p

I recently found a new combination,

Poliwhirl uses Belly Drum while Butterfree puts to sleep it's victims. Then Poliwhirl uses wake up slap on one of the sleeping Pokémon while Butterfree Dream eats the second.

Poliwhirl turns into a Mini Hyper beam and Butterfree keeps everything going smooth.

Ahh Yes, I forgot to mention,

Right off the Bat Poliwhirl uses Blizzard instead of Belly Drum. THEN I'll Belly Drum Wake Up Slap combo. I don't have the stats in front of me now, but i'll put up the Poliwhirl and maybe even Lapras just to show what i'm working with.
