    Are there any good Special Sweepers besides Greninja or Alakazam? Maybe something that can power up it's Sp. Attack and take a hit as well. Something like Charizard, which can use Dragon Dance once before dying, but not Charizard.
     
    Nah

    Volcarona was one of the best Quiver Dancers in B/W, so I'm pretty sure this also applies in X/Y. Gardevoir also gained a major buff with a new Fairy type and a Mega Evolution:

    Volcarona:
    -Quiver Dance
    -Fire Blast/Fiery Dance
    -Bug Buzz
    -Hidden Power (Ground/Rock/Ice)/Psychic
    Nature: Timid/Modest
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

    Gardevoir:
    -Moonblast
    -Focus Blast
    -Shadow Ball/Psyshock/Thunderbolt
    -Substitute/Taunt/Calm Mind
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Gardevoirite
    Ability: Trace

    There's a Psyschic in the house right next to the boutique in Anistar City who'll tell you what Hidden Power type a Pokemon has.

    2nd floor of Sycamore's lab. Near the girl who talks about Rotom. Each box changes his form.

    The above people gave you great advice. I just thought I'd share an experience with you.
    During a Battle Spot I was completely faked out and caught unprepared by a Mega Ampharos...They lead with the typical Klefki, the battle went as they all do until they threw out Gengar,clear Mega I thought, so I used Earthquake knowing if it Mega'd I'd nail it. To my dismay it did not instead it inflicted some fairly heavy damage. I finally take it out thinking maybe he was too afraid of my quaker to mega. Later he sends out an Ampharos, my earthquake mon is long gone, which promptly mega evolves,needless to say I was completely un-prepared for this, it actually swept me, it must have had defensive EVs as well as I barely had it in the red. Of course it didn't help that my only 3 remaining mons were Greninja,Talonflame and a Goodra.

    If you managed to read all of that ramble, I commend you and your cookie is in the mail. :D

    How do I 6v6? I can only find 3v3's.
    How do I not suck at battling? Any guides for extream beginners hidden anywhere on the web?

    Chill, man.

    There could be some problem with your connection. But why bother challenging passerbyers to battle? Just go to the Battle Spot instead, plenty of people there ready for battle.

    IDK if this applies to everyone, but I generally don't like being challenged by passerbyers to battle, since I'm using doing something else if I'm not battling in the Battle Spot (like breeding, trading, catching stuff, etc). I'm not prepared for battle, and I'd rather be focusing on whatever it was I was doing.

    If youre having troubles finding matches in RMU or connect wonder trade as well than it might be because of net speed. I have a similar situation but i cant do anything about it.

    *Cough*

    Alright well if you Wartortle has an Attack boosting nature I'd say get rid of Water Pulse. though you have no 4th move listed....?

    Secondly leafeon has never had a great movepool. So in game I'd go Leaf Blade,Synthesis, Swords dance, Confide,Captivate or Return.
    Glaceon isn't much better, Ice Beam, Wish, Hidden Power, Mirror coat/Protect

    Blastoise depends on whether it's Physical/ Special and whether you're going to be Mega Evolving it.

    Those are my opinions I imagine. someone else will be able to give you better advice

    Unfortunately you're going to get owned if you jump in right now.
    To battle competitively you need to be able to EV train and preferably IV breed, and while you can EV train through the Super training system, the pokemon you can catch early game aren't going to hold up online. I suggest playing the game discover new mons and think about what pokemon you want to use and decide on a Team Goal. Then when you reach the post game you'll have a game plan and access to the Friend Safari/ Battle Maison.

    As for Geninja he is actually used a lot so finding a set for him won't be hard, however he will need to have the Protean ability as Torrent is just useless.
