As far as RU is turning out, there's a lot of surprises in store. Raikou making it down and not Jolteon being a welcome surprise. AV Tangrowth will certainly be a fun wall to run, and I can finally use Banette-Mega where he's viable! Considering that Reuniclus also made it down here as well, I'd almost consider running a Trick Room sweeper set with Banette-Mega, but Trick Room's reliance on using Psychic and Ghost-types makes me wary.
How do you guys think Aromatisse will do here? Do you think it'll be a big support pokemon? Access to screens, a good Wish to pass, Aromatherapy, and Aroma Veil make it really sturdy.

Maybe not so in RU, but there aren't too many Pokemon who would run Poison or Steel moves. Torment allows you to reliably set up screens and wishes. With it, you can switch into Escavalier's Iron Head, then either Torment to earn a free turn of Leftover's recovery or set up Reflect to survive whatever hit they throw at you (not sure what equation to use to calculate the damage range on two Iron Heads in this scenario, but sadly I think its past 50%). You can even play mind games and go for a Wish to heal off the damage, as you'll survive any hit besides another Iron Head. After a Reflect, you're capable of completely walling it.
The same can also be said against Cobalion, though it can't take a +2 Iron Head. It can always switch into a +0 Flash Cannon, and set up Light Screen or Torment before dying, provided. A Moonblast can do around 50% damage to any set, should you choose to run it. Toxicroak, however, is still a huge threat that can set up SD right in its face.
The IV reduction is in case Trick Room gets popular, while still being fast enough to always outspeed Escavalier outside of it.
