1.) Make sure you go into every gym battle 2-3 levels below your max level limit. You'll still be leveled higher than your opponent and this way you won't lose control of your pokemon during the battle.
2.) Don't be too focused on a core party. Often times your party from one gym to the next will look entirely different, and often times key additions to your party can be made in the areas made available to you right before the gym battle.
3.) Money and items are very plentiful in Reborn, don't be afraid to use them in a pinch. Revives can be found while mining and X items can be found littered across the map at every turn.
4.) The gym battles in Reborn are intended to be very difficult, more often than not you will have to attempt a gym more than once. Even if it's to see the opponents order and then reorder your own mons, don't expect to win the battle the first time.

@Trufa Damn that's a long ways away. So it sounds like I should just use Greninja the way it is now, maybe find a better replacement until I can get Scald and Toxic Spikes? And how prepared should I be for the Devon raid?

@ArysFor IV breeding I started with an Eevee, got him up to as many 31s as I could. Then I gave him the bracelets and anklets to transfer the 31s. It's definitely a lot more complicated than that, but I honestly enjoy breeding a lot more, and it's most certainly achievable legit and isn't all that time consuming.

@Trufa Do I fight Amaria after I raid Devon? I've been holding off on that event, getting as much EV training and breeding in as possible. And I've been looking at anything else I can do with Greninja; once I get Scald is it a good idea to breed a Greninja with Toxic Spikes as an Egg move? It's speed should guarantee I get at least 1 down.

@BrazenCrown254 Double battles can indeed set you back because of protean depending on the opponent so let's consider Single battles: Greninja can be used to be Mixed sweeper, I see you have Night Slash there. The problem with mixed sweepers is that you need a nice nature (Naive for example) and the EV training has to be thought beforehand, also, Water Shuriken is not guaranteed to hit 5 times everytime. Greninja is a bit frail but compensates with it's speed, so in my opinion his best nature is Timid, which improves your speed, don't mess with defenses and because of it's base stats, I prefer using only special moves on it. That leads us to the moveset, I used for a while: Water Pledge, Extrasensory, Dark Pulse and Surf. Water Pledge you can learn pretty early in Lapis Ward for three blue shards (If I'm not mistaken) 80 power and 100 acc. Extrasensory and Dark Pulse + Protean makes it strong agains many foes because of STAB changing plus the same 80 power and 100 acc. Surf has 90 power but it's only there because Ice Beam TM is not available yet. After beating Amaria, I changed Water Pledge for Scald because the burn happens often and helps a lot. So this is my Greninja. Maybe you are not liking it because of the nature and EV training you chose, also, Hydro Pump has 80 Acc, you can't rely on it when in need, even with 110 power.
-Edit- Ah! I think it's important to say that my Greninja is the only water type on my team, I have one grass type (Roserade) and ground type (Excadrill) but besides being water, one role of Greninja was taking out Psychic and Ghost Pokemon as the pokemon intended to do it on my team wasn't doing it well. Also, along with Roserade, they were my psychic types.
If you still aren't convinced, take a look on Starmie, not as fast as Greninja, but it's bulkier and hits hard enough. I don't like Araquanid just because of it's speed, it's personal opinion only.
I definitely need to do some work with it's Ev's for sure. And you're right Water Shuriken has probably overstayed its welcome considering Greninja's speed is already great it probably doesn't need a priority move. I can always throw Surf back on in place of Hydro Cannon that makes sense. Does Greninja learn Scald through level up? If so I missed it but it won't be too much work to go teach him again.

I'd have to check his EV's when I get back on, pretty sure he's a 5 31 with a weaker Special defense? I've been using Water Shuriken, Extrasensory, Night Slash, and Hydro Cannon. I have the Psychic and Dark moves in there just for the Protean but I feel like worrying about his typing too much sets me back in battle.
-
While it's being discussed, for an all around water type would you go with Araquanid or a Protean Greninja? I've been using the Protean Greninja and it has solid IV's, but I'm not sure if the reason he's struggling is because I'm having a hard time finding a quality moveset or if it's something else. It's come up a few times where I've needed a heavy hitting water type and it seems like he has nothing but speed, it doesn't feel like his moves hit too hard at all.

Get Krookodile out there first. Not entirely sure what she leads with it's been a while since I fought her but Earthquake will destroy the cavern she's in. Without her field effects it's probably the easiest battle, especially with an all around team like yours. I would definitely consider putting some items on your party though, even if they are just plates for now. There aren't a ton of game changing items available at this point in the game.

Although this could fall under the category of Graphics, I do feel the work that Ame has put into the shiny sprites she modified deserves it's own vote. It makes searching for shiny Pokemon that much more worth it knowing the end result will actually be visually appealing and not just a recolored sprite that can be found in all the core games.

@Mu7e Where do you find Trapinch? I've gotten far past Spinel Town and just haven't seen a Trapinch yet. A Flygon would be sweet.
