Garchomp: Has a very nice flow because this team has pokemon with protect/flying/levitate to get Earthquake off without hitting his own side. The reason on the moveset and item is standard so no problem there.
Aegislash: Swords dance on him is a bad choice especially because his attacking moves are Sp.Attack while SD boosts physical Attack. Substitute would be a perfect fit in for him especially because he has leftovers so over turns he is gaining back the HP Substitute takes away. Or you can even go Wide guard to help stop damage from pokemon using moves such as Earthquake, Rock Slide that do spread damage.
Rotom: Picking the item on here is bit harder to call especially because your Aegi depending how you run it would need Leftovers with Sub and Pachi needs Sitrus berry. You can throw out Shadow ball and go for Rest instead then have a Chesto berry/Lum berry to wake you up. Protect on a Wash Rotom doesn't make too much sense to me because its only threat is grass unless something like mold breaker comes in to get rid of levitate. You can run something like Volt Switch rather to get him in and out of the battles while hitting for damage.
Talonflame: Without gale wings? Now they become a tough run. Gale Wings makes talonflame viable for moves like Brave Bird STAB Priority that hit hard, Tailwind to double your whole team's speed. Then Roost to help heal yourself. Talonflame only works best when its moves are STAB and complement it to make it live longer. This being because at best his attack is 287 at level 100 and that is with everything working flawlessly. So moves like Steel Wing with no Expert belt especially will not hit as much as you would want.
Pachirisu: Full restore doesn't do anything in battles especially in VGC so best option for him is a Sitrus berry. Moveset is fine because it is taking off the most popular set to run.
