Of those you choose there are some fews  that I would let out, and even more for raids such as Loppuny, Slaking or any with figthing moves they will blow up, such as tyranitar, in hyppodown the gyarados can blow it in one shot.

The few reuniclus I saw were ko in one hit or one raid mon turn.

Ampharos and zapdos could work for some raids but in others...

 

Also, there's some pokes that no one used, and they have potential, example:

Bronzong with iron defense, calm mind and cosmic power( a thing I used a lot) can resist and do a lot of damage
