Favorite Reborn moments have to be finding out that Quilladin actually rinses half Florina's gym with Pin Missile and completely freaking forgetting that Shelly's Illumise has Prankster Rain Dance. Oh and the time I beat Mist Corey's Crobat with a Klink spamming Charge. 

TBH klink is one of the best mons for Reborn since many battles are fought on factory field, which boosts gear grind. I didn't like klink evo line but Reborn made me like it. Same with simple swoobat.

Agreed on both counts.

I hated Klink's line when it came out for just being a rip-off of earlier mons I liked (Magnemite in particular), and for being totally useless and superflous in BW. In reborn, it's the first primary steel-type (second playable steel at all after Wormadam-T), and it immediately gets gear grind which as you said is boosted, but also is just really strong for that level, so much so that Klink's low offenses just don't matter.

Simple Swoobat is in theory amazing and I was so close to getting it to work before I lost my last save. Problem is, your opponents at that level are either the electric-primary Connel crew, the Rock-primary team meteor, or Shelly the debuff junkie. It'd be seriously fun to see against, say, Kiki, though...
