That's a solid looking team. I'd replace Mightyena though, as at this point in the game it falls behind.

 

I think your team lacks some sort of speed control, a tailwind on noivern is a decent option. I feel like a bulky trick room psychic type would help a lot since it would work great with both golurk and vikavolt. The first thing that comes to my mind is reuniclus, but seeing as half of your team doesn't appreciate rock type attacks i'd go with bronzong. Trick room, gyro ball would be 2 moves i'd definitely go with, maybe hypnosis to replace yawn you had on mightyena. You may put explosion in the 4th slot so you can go trick room -> explosion to immidiately send out another pokemon and not waste any trick room turns. You probably know this already but if your pokemon uses trick room while holding amplified rock, the effect lasts 8 turns instead of only 5.

 

At some point I suggest swapping brick break for drain punch on golurk to better utilize it's ability and for additional recovery. Also, some priority moves wouldn't hurt. Extremespeed on arcanine is always a good option.

Hi man, first of all I'll list a few pokemon that are strong and most of them should be available at the stage of your game, so that you know what some of your options are.
Mienshao, Lycanroc, Toxicroak, Archeops, Lopunny, Darmanitan and Krookodile are all good offensively and I've used them all.

Gliscor, Hawlucha, Mamoswine, Magnezone, Bisharp are all very good too. You can get a Lucario in Ametrine if that interests you.

Ditto and Zoroark have worked miracles for me but I don't actually recommend them.

 

I think Noivern and Mightyena are the ones you can easily replace and I'm suggesting Archeops and Mienshao in their place.

Greninja and Arcanine are very good, you can teach Greninja Grass Knot if you can't give it Ice Beam, Mat Block is good too for double battles.
 

And just for reference, at the stage of your game I could be using something like this:

Greninja, definitely Archeops as the lead, Darmanitan or Arcanine, then a fighting type like Mienshao, a ground type probably Gliscor or Krookodile in Golurk's place. And your Vikavolt actually suits really good here.

 

Before leaving I feel like I have to also suggest that you check out some mods for reborn, especially about the debug mode.

If you are going to be swapping pokemon in and out of the team that mod can help save you time if you are busy in your life.

Hey everyone, thanks for the suggestions. I will try to switch the team up with the tips yall sent. I'll probably go with something that can mega, because i dont have any pokemon that are able too. Im not sure i want to go with Archeops because of its ability which sucks. Peace!
