Who else could help with Agiligross support?
I have Scizor to scout, mainly Bullet Punch and U-Turn.
Rapid Spin and Toxic, probably on a water guy for stalling.
Flygon to avoid all the EQ and counter other steel-types.
I'm thinking I need someone to counter waters and ghost mainly, as these types are less likely ot be killed by Meta. I have Tyranitar but I don't know if I want want someone else weak to EQ since Scizor is also weak to fire.

Tauros isn't really the raw power Pokemon, since it doesn't have access to a stat-up move. Spikes, Toxic Spikes(in combination with Subsitute) and Baton Passed stat-ups are the best way to make a Tauros sweep possible. In NU(I'm assuming that you're using Tauros in NU) Rosalia is a great Spiker(both Spikes and Toxic Spikes) and Floatzel(who can Baton Pass Bulk Ups)
About Golbat in UU. I don't think it's too viable. It has mediocre stats. It's too frail to take any Super Effective moves,too slow to outpace the most common sweepers and too weak to break through walls.
I would suggest trying something similar to the Hazerider set on Primeape's analysis on Tauros, that might work, because the Anger Management set is garbage
Yes
You can speed it up by utilizing Pokérus and the Power items. I believe a Macho brace works better than the Power items however, though someone else will have to confirm that for you. :P
Otherwise, yes, you accumulate EVs after you make a Pokémon faint. So if you had to take down, hypothetically, three Nidorinas in one battle, you would gain 2 HP EVs apiece without Pokérus and other boosting items.

Quick Question.
So I got a shiny Roselia awhile back and I decided to EV train it for Special Attack and Speed.
Now, when I look up my IV's so I can figure out my SID, the Sp.Att and Speed IV's are labeled as impossible.
Is there anyway besides using an AR to figure out my SID using this Roselia?

Sadly no, but plenty of people with an AR would be willing to help. Check the WiFi forums
Maybe using the Hondew and Tamato berries to remove the EVs from your Pokémon, along with EV reducing berries for any other less significant EVs your Pokémon might have.
Very false, at least in my experience.
As just a numbers game, Power Items give an extra FOUR EVs per pokemon fought, while Macho Brace only doubles the EVs gained, thus boosting by a maximum of THREE EVs.
Plus, with a whole suite of Power Items, it's possible to quickly and easily gain EVs in stats it would otherwise be difficult to EV train in directly, which is especially a problem in HGSS, which is absolutely AWFUL for EV training.
They might level up too quickly so you won't be able to control them if you don't have proper gym badges, aside from that, there's no disadvantage unless you want to do something like change their name
Already got all badges, I was just wondering if perhaps you didn't have enough time to fully EV train them or something. Thanks for the answer :)
There will be know problem with EV training them, unless maybe you receive it in the level 90s. (If it's at level 100 you can't properly EV it at all).
There are cases where an evolved Pokemon cannot get moves its prevo gets - obtain it evolved and those moves are out of reach unless you breed for a new baby.
Perhaps the biggest issue with traded Pokemon is you have only the trade partner's word the Pokemon is legitimate.

Yes, Pressure is normally used but it's really insignificant
Yeah, I wasn't sure which one was which, haven't done it for a few years now (x

Okay I understand this but will substitute still break after 25% has been done?
For example, you make a substitute and then get hit for about 10%....you heal to 100%, does the substitute have to do 15% more or does it have to do 25% again?
Eh I don't know much about Sinnoh Pokemon, I keep thinking Spiritomb is legendary too, never paid much attention to them cause I didn't really care about them.
Pressure is only used because Aerodactyl doesn't use recoil moves. The only time it would be particularly useful is on a Sub/Roost set to stall out Stone Edge.
The abilities mentioned cause the attack to be ineffective, meaning that the attack never deals damage.
No effect can restore life points (as I call HP) to a substitute. A substitute's life points can be only reduced by damage from opponents' attacks. Thus, if a substitute that begins with 50 life points loses 30 points from damage, it will fade if it loses 20 more life points.
