So now I've established 5 of my party rebuild for Black. I have...

Samurott - lvl 80 (Surf, Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam, Megahorn)
Hydreigon - lvl 71 (Fly, Strength, Dragon Claw, Hyper Beam)
Galvantula - lvl 67 (Cut, Thunderbolt, Bug Bite, Sucker Punch)
Chandelure - lvl 65 (Flamethrower, Hex, Overheat, SolarBeam)
Metagross - lvl 64 (Psychic, Meteor Mash, Giga Impact, can't remember off the top of my head)

Any suggestions for the final member? I've covered (in order) Water, Dark, Dragon, Electric, Bug, Fire, Ghost, Psychic and Steel types. I was thinking Piloswine/Mamoswine to get Ice and Ground in there.

How the heck did you get Dragon Claw on Hydreigon? It isn't learned by neither Deino, Zweilous nor Hydreigon and can't be taught via TM to neither of them. Did you mistook the move for Dragon Tail or Dragon Rush? 

Anyway, my advice (as someone who uses Hydreigon a lot..and that would be an understatement) is to swap Dragon Claw with Dragon Pulse. Not only would you take advantage of his best stat, Sp. Att, the attack power of the move is higher (90) and it's an overall more effective move against other Dragons. I would also suggest (albeit this would be extremely time consuming), to breed your Hydreigon to learn Dark Pulse, which on par with Draco Meteor are the most devastating weapons in Hydreigon's arsenal.
