Thinking of this as a team for X:

Delphox
Noivern
Heliolisk
Pangoro
Trevenant
Mega Blastoise

My problem is Fairy Types and having 4 Special Attackers and only 2 Physical Attackers. I'm trying to only use Kalos Pokemon (besides Mega Blastoise), so my options are very limited...
 

(P.O.K.E.M.O.N)

AshXSerena = Canon
I usually rotate my team.

Currently it's
Greninja lvl 82
Gengar lvl 80
Haxorus lvl 86
Blaziken lvl 82
Venisaur lvl 83
Talonflame lvl 82

Alakazam lvl 82
Dragonite lvl 79
Flygon lvl 81


The bolded are in rotations

Try swapping Heliolisk for Aegislash. With King's Shield it can be bully as hell. Also, Aegislash can go mixed if you want, and Faries
are as tough as warm butter against it.

My team will have a 3x weakness to Fire, but that is okay. Blastoise and Delphox are able to cover those weaknesses.

Delphox (F) - Timid/Modest (Blaze)
Blastoise (M) - Modest (Torrent) (Mega Evolution)
Gogoat (M) - Adamant (Sap Sipper)
Aegislash (M) - Adamant/Brave (Stance Change)
Heliolisk (F) - Modest/Timid (Dry Skin)
Hawlucha (M) - Adamant/Jolly (Limber)

Florges

Talonflame
Nidoking
Klefki

In terms of type match-ups, that team is at a disadvantage against both Water and Ground. If Mega Charizard X is your main dude, I'd say catch a good Grass-type to counter its weaknesses to Water, Ground and Rock. Gogoat is my favourite Grass-type to use in X and Y, because it has good HP and Physical Attack, plus it learns some great moves such as Leaf Blade, Horn Leech and Earthquake levelling up. Florges can learn some Grass-type moves, but doesn't get STAB from them, so while Florges is good and I recommend you keep it, I think adding a Grass-type would be a big help.

I'd also suggest adding a Water-type, as they're always handy to have for Surf and Waterfall, plus they can get STAB from those moves in battle. I'd recommend either Clawitzer (because it can learn Dragon Pulse, which can cover Charizard's weakness to Dragon), Lapras (again, it covers against Dragon because of its Ice-typing) or Greninja (so you're covered against Ghost, Psychic and Fire as well as Rock and Ground). Nidoking is a good Ground-type and will also help you against Fairy, so I'd say keep it and remove Excadrill, because Excadrill can only learn one Steel-type attack (Metal Claw) and it's not that great later in the game. Generally you don't need more than one of each type on a team, so seeing as you already have a Fire-type and a Fairy-type I'd recommend you get rid of Talonflame (you can always teach HM02 Fly to your Charizard if that's a concern) and Klefki, and replace them with Rotom. Rotom is an Electric-type with Levitate, so it's ideal for Sky Battles if that's something you like to do, plus it's multiple electrical appliance forms change its type and make it very versatile.

I hope that helps! :)

My main team right now is just Mega Charizard Y and Greninja.

Greninja Moveset:

Surf
Ice Beam
Dark Pulse
U-turn

Charizard:

Blast Burn
Flamethrower
Solar Beam
Fly

Both are level 100 so I basically can defeat every Pokemon.

Please rate my team cuz I'd really like to know how I'm doing.

You don't need to post your Pokémon's actual stats, just their EVs and IVs (if you know them.) If you don't know them, it's alright, because they don't matter a whole lot in-game. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, there are plenty of guides on Serebii.net, Smogon.com, Bulbapedia.net, and Pokebeach.com that you can read. Or, you can just Google whatever you're curious/unsure about.

That said, Gale Wings Talonflame needs Life Orb to be as insanely OP'd as possible. Pixilate Sylveon needs Calm Mind and... not Assault Vest, maybe erm, Wise Glasses? Idk. ._. Goodra doesn't need to mixed-sweep, D-Pulse/Muddy Water/Sludge Wave/Thunderbolt is just fine, and he can make better use of Assault Vest. D-Claw Haxorus needs Dragon Dance, otherwise use Outrage/EQ/Rock Slide/Poison Jab and attach Choice Band. MegaZard-X needs EQ and Flare Blitz, and Protean Greninja can make better use of Spikes than Dark Pulse, because a Water-type suddenly converting to a Ground-type throws off Electric-types hard.

Overall, your team gets rekt by Fairies, and another Fairy and tons of Poison moves aren't exactly the best of counters. Talonflame is definitely your ace, so it can stay. Protean Greninja is also stellar, as is Pixilate Sylveon (in ORAS, it can get Hyper Voice through move tutors.) MegaZardX, Goodra, and Haxorus are just way too many dragons, so drop Charizard and pick either Goodra or Haxorus to keep as your one Dragon-type. Select a good Steel-type for your party as a Fairy-killer, (I recommend Scizor, it's got a 1/4x resistance to Fairy, STAB Technician Bullet Punch, and access to Roost) and finally, never underestimate the value of a good Normal-type. Dry Skin Heliolisk is a perfectly viable option, if a bit frail in sunlight. As for movesets, give Scizor X-Scissor/Bug Bite (the latter through ORAS tutors), Bullet Punch, Swords Dance and Roost, and teach Heliolisk Thunder, Surf, Hidden Power [Bug] (or Signal Beam in ORAS), and Rain Dance. Bug, oddly enough, gets tons of coverage, so never underestimate the value of a good Bug-type, either.

Your team looks fine to me. Auroros has quite a few debilitating weaknesses, but for in-game purposes, it's completely viable. With Doublade, you can either evolve it into Aegislash, or give it an Eviolite and never evolve it.
