So I'm planning a team to steamroll through the Battle Maison. Unfortunately my Truant Durant is stuck in Gen V, but this seems like a fun exercise:
Mega Blaziken
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
Jolly, Speed Boost
Protect
Sky Uppercut
Rock Slide
Flare Blitz
Mega Blaziken is a beast. Speed Boost and a wicked 160 base attack make it a force to be reckoned with. I took Sky Uppercut over Hi-Jump Kick because reliability is a major factor in battle facilities.
Hydreigon @ Life Orb
252 SpA, 100 Atk, 192 Spd
Mild, Levitate
Draco Meteor
Earth Power
Stone Edge (?)
U-turn
Although Hydreigon now has that unfortunate 4x Fairy weakness, its special attack, ability, and typing make it a fairly nice complement to Mega Blaziken, I think. This set is a little unusual as it lacks Fire Blast (reliability, again). Flamethrower is a bit weaker this Gen, so I'm hesitant to throw it on, and at any rate I have Blaziken. Instead, I have U-turn, which I have never regretted giving to a Pokemon just because it lets you switch without losing momentum (and since Draco Meteor has diminishing returns, switching is important). While its speed isn't amazing, I suspect the only Fairy type I would need to worry about is Dendenne, as the others either have a lower speed stat or (in Whimsicott's case) not a whole lot of raw power to back them up.
Edit: And I just realized I can't get Superpower without a move tutor... I think I'll sub in Stone Edge unless anyone has a better idea.
Aegislash @ Leftovers
252 Attack, 252 HP, 4 SpD (Ideally, 0 Speed IV)
Brave, Stance Change
King's Shield
Swords Dance
Sacred Sword
Head Smash
And, of course, my teams are never complete without some weird trick up my sleeve. The idea here is to let everything else outspeed Aegislash, and, after getting set up, alternate between attack moves and King's Shield every other turn. The attack moves will hopefully go last, and King's Shield has priority, meaning the other Pokemon should be consistently hitting Aegislash's Shield Form, while being hit by the Blade Form. Pretty nifty, huh? Aegislash also has a nice Fairy and Dragon resist, as well as a Fighting immunity, and with that bulk will be a good switch in from Hydreigon.
Thoughts? Ideas?

I need some help with this.
Paladin of Arceus
Grey Warden
My current X team, as I've had the game since last Wednesday, is as follows:
Isosia the Heliolisk, M Lv.73@Amulet Coin
Sand Veil
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Hidden Power [Bug]
-Thunder Wave
Love how Hidden Power has stable damage now, it makes it much more useful to casuals like me.
Excelsior the Aegislash, F Lv.70@Luck Incense
Stance Change
-Shadow Claw
-Iron Head
-Sacred Sword
-Swords Dance
Easily one of my strongest teammates. I'm also loving her nickname!
Mercurye the Delphox, M Lv.71@Luck Incense
Blaze
-Flamethrower
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Grass Knot
Despite having an Adamant nature, his Sp.Atk is quite good.
Glamazon the Azumarill, F Lv.77@Luck Incense
Huge Power
-Waterfall
-Play Rough
-Superpower
-Return
My fluffy little dragonslayer. <3 Obliterated Drasna's entire team by herself, while poisoned.
Tropicool the Venusaur, M Lv.67@Venusaurite
Overgrow
-Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Leech Seed
-Sleep Powder
My Fairy-killer, Mega Evolver, and all-around tank. He took down Diantha's Mega Gardevoir with super-effective Sludge Bomb (meaning Psychic no longer resists Poison.)
Oedipus the Tyrantrum, M Lv.64@Rocky Helmet
Strong Jaw
-Rock Slide
-Dragon Claw
-Crunch
-Earthquake
My weakest teammate because he's so slow to level, and frail as hell to boot. Strong Jaw?! LOL! More like Glass Jaw! xP

Considering Gogoat or Heliosk. Viable?
Based purely on preference I would pick Heliolisk

My current X team:
Scizor w/Scizorite
Gyarados w/Gyaradosite
Ampharos w/Ampharosite
Tyranitar w/Tyranitarite
Florges w/Pixie Plate
Charizard w/Charizardite X
First glance looks like I'm on the mega-evos bandwagon,
but it just so happened that a few of my favorite Pokemon
(Scizor/Ampharos/Gyarados/Charizard) got mega evolutions xD
I also have somebody who lives with me playing Y so that helps a lot o:
Not really a competitive player, but I did set up Scizor as a nice U-Turn scout.
I train a whole bunch at a time and rotate them around. :3
Absolutely obsessed with the new gen, gamefreak got it right. <3
