I'm sorry. Just no. It comes down to two things: stats and movesets (and abilities/typing, but that's locked in and has nothing to do with how you raise it). Stats vary on a few mechanics: EVs, which are planned for and gained specifically, IVs and nature, both of which are locked from the start, so you need to either be incredibly lucky, or breed the IVs and nature onto a pokémon. It's a game - numbers are everything. No amount of love and care is going to make a poor pokémon perform well - good stats and a planned movepool will. On that note:I believe the truth behind strength is confidence, you don't get confidence from brewing up a pokemon with advice from smogon, and constant breeding. What you need to do is raise it with love, and be patient.
I have a few equal pokémon, but the my favourite would have to be Jolteon.
