    So, I want to make a good poketeam, but my knowledge of pokemon is very minimal.

    My currently line up:

    Absol : Lonely
    Sucker Punch
    Swords Dance
    Psycho Cut
    Night Slash
    __________________________

    Sylveon : Modest
    Dazzling Gleam
    Moonblast
    Misty Terrain
    Draining Kiss
    __________________________

    Greninja : Rash
    Substitute
    Waterfall
    Surf
    Hydropump
    ___________________________

    Venusuar : Timid
    Strength
    Petal Blizzard
    Solar Beam
    Synthesis
    ___________________________

    Charizard : Hardy
    Fire Spin
    Flamethrower
    Fly
    Dragon Rage
    ___________________________

    Blaziken : Sassy
    Flare Blitz
    Blaze Kick
    Sky Uppercut
    Brave Bird
     
    its ok for PVE...PVP you need to add IV's Evs and so on so we can tell you if its good...

    Personally i dont like using any Ubers on my team, so Blaziken is out. Absol i really dont like either along with greninja, since they both can be swept by scizors an or a modest GrowthSaur
     
    I never really understood IV and EV's > < My Absol and Sylveon are the only ones I've super trained though.

    Sylveon I maxxed SP atk and SP def
    Absol I maxed Attack and Speed.

    Both used left over points on HP
     
    You'll have to do some re-breeding on your Pokemon, I'm afraid.

    Absol gained Play Rough as an egg move. Mega Absol can use Magic Bounce to prevent status from screwing it over by bouncing it back at the opponent:
    -Swords Dance
    -Sucker Punch
    -Play Rough
    -Fire Blast/Baton Pass/Night Slash
    Nature: Hasty/Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Absolite/Life Orb
    Ability: Super Luck

    or
    -Sucker Punch
    -Play Rough
    -Fire Blast/Ice Beam
    -Protect
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Absolite/Life Orb
    Ability: Super Luck

    Sylveon essentially functions as an Umbreon that can actually fight back. Take advantage of that fact. Also, Misty Terrain is essentially an inferior Safeguard for grounded Pokemon. Moonblast is vastly superior over Dazzling Gleam as an offensive Fairy move; not only is it stronger, it also has a chance of lowering the opponent's Special Attack. Draining Kiss' low base power makes it not worth using, despite the healing side-effect. You have all three moves listed on Sylveon, but you're better off using Moonblast as a whole. Max out HP first before you aim for the defenses; your current spread squanders its overall bulk:
    -Wish
    -Protect
    -Moonblast
    -Shadow Ball/Toxic
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    Greninja's offensive movepool is rather good. Giving it all-Water moves isn't a good idea:
    -Hydro Pump/Surf
    -Dark Pulse
    -Ice Beam
    -Grass Knot
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Greninja's Dream World/Hidden Ability is Protean, so you can take advantage of that ability by having it essentially gain STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus; this means that if a Pokemon uses a move with the same type as its own, that move gets stronger) on all its moves. The above set works with this ability, but here's a different take by supporting the team with Spikes to help wear down grounded opponents:
    -Spikes
    -Hydro Pump
    -Ice Beam
    -U-turn
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Focus Sash/Leftovers
    Ability: Protean

    Venusaur is only good as a Mega (due to its increased defenses and Thick Fat) or a Chlorophyll attacker (this isn't a Sun team, so the latter set won't work here). Both Strength and Petal Blizzard are physical moves and they work off of the lowered Attack that Timid brings. SolarBeam only sees use on Sun teams because the sunlight skips its charge turn:
    -Sleep Powder
    -Leech Seed
    -Energy Ball/Giga Drain
    -Sludge Bomb
    Nature: Modest/Timid
    EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef or 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Venusaurite/Black Sludge

    For Charizard, you have a multitude of options. All three of its forms perform well, given the right support. I'd use regular Charizard or Charizard X on this team because not all of your Pokemon benefit from the Drought that Charizard Y brings:

    Regular:
    -Fire Blast
    -Air Slash
    -Focus Blast/Hidden Power (Grass)
    -Flamethrower
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs/Choice Scarf

    Charizard X:
    -Dragon Dance/Swords Dance
    -Flare Blitz
    -Dragon Claw/Outrage
    -Earthquake/Roost
    Nature: Jolly/Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Charizardite X

    Sassy is a terrible nature for Blaziken to have. It ruins the point of Speed Boost (by lowering Blaziken's Speed), which makes it harder to revenge kill the longer it stays on the field:
    -Swords Dance
    -Flare Blitz
    -High Jump Kick
    -Protect/Baton Pass
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Life Orb/Blazikenite
    Ability: Speed Boost

    I see, thank you for your advice! Having to rebreed is going to be a hassle lol, especially for my Absol. My current Absol is a shiny one, lol, and I was thinking it was perfect. Guess not XD.
     
    BUMP : Sorry for the double post

    Does anyone know some replacement pokemon to get a better team composition for my X and Y team?

    I decided to switch out almost all of my pokemon. I decided to keep Sylveon and Absol, currently EV and training them to proper levels and etc. I also added in Tyranitar into my line-up. But I don't know some more pokemon that would go well with my team. I don't really have a set type or style, but anyone know some good pokemon I can add into my team?

    Tyranitar isn't worth bothering on the team. All your Pokemon besides Tyranitar don't benefit from sandstorm at all. Only use Tyranitar when you know that most of your team members can benefit from Sand Stream.

    Pokemon that work well with Wish Sylveon are offensive Pokemon that can run through its counters, but lack recovery, like Lucario, Gyarados or Salamence:

    Lucario:
    -Swords Dance
    -Close Combat
    -Bullet Punch/Extreme Speed
    -Crunch/Shadow Claw
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Gyarados:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Earthquake/Stone Edge
    -Substitute/Taunt
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 88 HP/248 Atk/4 Def/168 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Dragon Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    Nature: Jolly/Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry/Life Orb

    Salamence:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Outrage
    -Earthquake
    -Fire Blast/Hydro Pump
    Nature: Naive
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry

    Since both Gyarados and Salamence are weak to Stealth Rock, you need a Rapid Spinner to clear away Stealth Rock on your side of the field. Starmie or Excadrill work:
    Starmie:
    -Hydro Pump/Surf
    -Psyshock/Thunderbolt
    -Ice Beam
    -Rapid Spin
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Life Orb
    Ability: Natural Cure

    or
    -Scald
    -Rapid Spin
    -Psyshock/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt
    -Recover
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 248 HP/32 Def/4 SAtk/224 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure

    Excadrill:
    -Earthquake
    -Rock Slide
    -Rapid Spin
    -Swords Dance/Shadow Claw
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Leftovers/Air Balloon
    Ability: Mold Breaker

    Also note that Absol needs Absolite to be effective now.
