########
- Got Sticky Web buff (or is it a new move??), anyways lowers speed on grounded opponents mons which is an amazing move and gives it a huge niche and can outpace other mons it couldn't outpace like Starmie and Zam
- its competitors for this niche is ariados, masqearuin, leavanny (they all suck) and smeargle but its a sitting duck and pretty much suicidal but galvantula can set it up then volt switch
- still has volt switch, good move for scouting
- Compound-Eyes + Thunder is great and no longer has to compete with other thunder spammers since they lost most of their spamming thx to limited weather this gen
- Bug Buzz now hits through sub and it is a still a strong move to use
- blazing fast 108 Spe and resistance to Mach Punch and Bullet Punch +++
- hits decently with Life Orb
- problem is SR weakness
- frail
- 97 SpA is avg and Thunder is only Base 110 now (175 w/ STAB though)
- however, galvantula has risen extremely with this new "entry hazard" and still has enough power to clean in OU

Moves
========
- Sticky Web is epic, give niche, must use Sticky Web
- Volt Switch for keeping momentum
- Bug Buzz hits thru sub now, can kill things like annoying SubPunch Loom and deadly SubDD Mega-Dos + can also defeat other sub users
- Thunder abuses CE, powerful STAB that can clean weakened teams easily with the sticky web support you provide
========
- LO is best item, otherwise it wont hit hard enough
- Timid Nature is preffered but Modest can be used especially since Sticky Web will lower Speed but it is a problem against non-grounded mons like +Spe Mence, air balloon wutev, so use Timid
- evs max out best stats and 4 def to help take priority better
- you can try out Magnet as an item, but LO is too good to pass up
- Electro Ball over Thunder, but CE + Thunder is rly good, EB will rarely go over 110 though even with sticky web since meta is rly fast now
========
- Sticky Web then use Volt Switch to scout and deal damage,
- Bug Buzz + Thunder is like late-game cleaning moves or when something like Celebi is annoying you
- not many usage tips, its a predictable set
========
- stuff like specs Clawitzer or band terrakion make big use, powerful monsters that have mediocre speed or need speed to sweep
- bulky walls can now outpace some things which is great
- hydreigon/aegilash core is amazing w/ this
- trevenant, gourgeist, jelly, gengar, and aegilash are needed to spinblock so use one of em
- volt-turn core makes it good
- mega-chomp in sand will sweep teams like no other with sticky web support same with mega-ampharos,mega-cham, and mega-zard x (or y)
========
- no room for anything else since it needs all those slots
- you could try HP [Ice] over Thunder if you dont need thunder, but use Swarm as ability, but srsly, galvy needs all those slots
- you could specs for more power, but being locked into sticky web isnt the best thing
========
- with sticky web, you can't rly check it but nongrounded faster mons like talonflame and lati@s, thundurus and tornadus (though rare now), and non-grounded scarfers can do the trick
- volt switching playstyle makes it difficult to kill since youll find it switching freq. then coming in later when everything is weakened to sweep
- you can try out priority moves like shadow sneak to kill before it switches
- it's not very strong so anything that can tank a thunder and retaliate back will most likely OHKO cuz its frail
- remember it has good resists
- SR will make its volt switching crap switching
