    I personally tried Galvantula out thinking highly of it, but I relized quickly it is too frail to be useful.

    I would swap it for a tank/Sattker or overall wall altogether. I have 2 suggestions. I use them both on my team.

    Tank/Sattker

    Jellicent@ Leftovers

    Bold/Calm/Modest

    252 Satk or Def/ 252 Hp/ 4 Satk or Def

    Water Spout

    Recover

    Shadow Ball

    Ice Beam/ Energy Ball

    Ferrothorn@ Rocky Helmet

    Relaxed/Sassy/Brave

    252 Def or Sdef/ 252 Hp/ 4 Atk

    Ingrain

    Gyro Ball

    Seed Bomb/Power Whip

    Stealth Rock/Spikes

    Furthermore I would recommend giving Hydreigon a Timid nature instead of modest, and giving it a Life Orb or Choice Specs.

    I would also advise giving your Chandelure choice specs to hold, as it is not one of the pokemon you want to lock into just one move. Too easy to take advantage of.
