Pyroar has a few advantages; immunity to Ghost and a STAB move that ignores Substitutes. That said GW Talonflame is better in most situations.

But Pyroar has additional weakness to fighting. Even a Moxie Pyroar is useless since the base attack for Pyroar is pretty low. What move can allow it to break through subs?

Yes GW Talonflame is good, despite having low base attack, it can be overcomed easily by Choice Band. Together with Brave bird with the base of 120 make Talonflame a flying beast especially Talonflame will attack first 90% of the time. Unless is against someone who uses extremespeed lol

Well Unnerve is definately not crappy and it can be really helpful to a certain extend especially in Battle Maison where super effective berries are frequently used by AI

I don't know that I agree; I think Pyroar gets way more mileage out of Rivalry in Battle Maison, as it is way more relevant on a per battle basis. My argument though, in context, is this:

Talonflame gets two abilities, one is solid and one is AMAZING (Flame Body/Gale Wings respectively).
Pyroar gets three abilities, one depends on your opponents gender, one depends on their held item, and one depends on you building a bad Pyroar.
 
For Greninja
I would rather go for Dark Pulse than Night Slash since Greninja has higher Special Attack and Attack and Dark Pulse can at least flinch your opponent Pokemon. Use Life Orb for Item.

For Hawlucha
Use Acrobatics instead of Flying Press as Acrobatics is stronger without item and High Jump Kick and Aceobatics covers more than Flyign Press. Rock Slide instead of Bounce as Acrobatics is already stronger than bounce and Rock Slide gives some coverages. If possible, use Sword Dance instead of Fly to increases its attack.

Hope this help

Well, see, I was only planning on using the first four Pokemon, but from what you're saying I have to use Hawlucha as well? Not trying to offend you, just trying to understand what you're saying. Also, is everything else up to par - levels, Pokemon, etc?

It's your team, so it is your choice to use Hawlucha or not, it is just my advice to use all 6 Pokémon as that will be better than using 4 Pokemon.

For Clawitzer
Use Water Pulse instead of Surf since it will have the same base power thanks to Mega Launcher and Water Pulsemhas 30% chance to confuse your opponent.

For Lilligant
I would rather use Hidden Power Fire instead of Giga Drain for coverages on Steel and many more type Pokemon.

Also you don't want to attach 4 Pokemon with a Mega Stone as that waste item slot for the Pokemon you did not Mega Evolve. You can just use Life Orb or Leftover instead of Mega Stone on some Pokemon. I would use 1 or 2 Mega Evolution in my team.

Hope this help

Caught a Bold female Eevee as the final member of my team last night. EV-trained and the. Evolved it into Sylveon. My team is now complete (and in signature).
 
It's your team, so it is your choice to use Hawlucha or not, it is just my advice to use all 6 Pokémon as that will be better than using 4 Pokemon.

I guess I can't argue with that. Alright, I'll do a bit more training and then do the Elite Four. This is going to be interesting.

Okay, I've been skimming this thread for a bit and many people suggest Aegislash as a Must-Have! I just started on Pokémon Y with Chespin and I see that many of the people that started with Chespin also has added Squirtle to their team. I for one likes to use just 1 starter pokemon and therefor don't want to have Squirtle in my team.

About Aegislash: How early is it obtainable? It evolves with a Dusk Stone right? What is the earliest point I can get that stone?

The rest of the team, what would be a nice balanced team without it being too standard?
 
Honedge is catchable on Route 6, which is just before the battle with Snorlax. If you don't want to grind Super Training for hours on end to collect evolution stones, the earliest the Dusk Stone is available is not until after the Team Flare plot ends. An ex-Flare grunt in Laverre gives you one after their criminal enterprise disbands, and you can spelunk in Terminus Cave, just off Route 18, for another one.

For Klefki
I would try to use Substitute in its moveset, since it can be extremely annoying, to keep using Substitude until your opponent hurts itself, then use Thunder Wave to give it less chance to attack and slows it down, I uses Spike afterward, but people usually prefer Foul Play more due to its low attack.

For Azumarill
You need to use Waterfall over Aqua Tail since it has higher accuracy and some chances to flinch the opponent. I would go for Choice Band on Azumarill.

Hope this help
 
You could go for an Aqua Jet/Belly Drum set on Azumarill. As for a hold item, Muscle Band couldn't hurt.

Yeah, give Klefki Sub, and get rid of Swagger for it. That'll definitely improve its annoyance by a lot.

As for your mega, you could go with Mega Garchomp as a wall-breaker. Give him EQ/Dual Chop/Rock Slide/Sandstorm, give him an Adamant nature, and EV him in Atk/Spd/Def. Dual Chop hacks thru Subs, Sandstorm lets him use Sand Force and adds to Klefki's annoyance, and EQ/RS gives stellar coverage.

Careful, tho, because half your team isn't immune to Sandstorm, and could fall victim to your own tactics. I suggest giving Protean Greninja Spikes over U-turn, so he, too, can be immune to Sandstorm, as well as add his own layer of extra annoyance to the mix.

Noivern can get Dragon Pulse/Air Slash/Boomburst/Sludge Bomb, if you plan to make him a Specs user.

Aegislash needs a Brave nature and a 0 Spd IV, so he can use his capabilities to their maximum output. If you plan to use him in anything other than Singles, tho, you'll want an Adamant nature, a 31 Spd IV, and Shadow Claw over Sneak.

I don't know if you'd want Aegislash because that would give you 2 fighting types, Chestnaught & the ladder
