The number of all-legendary teams I'm encountering in X and Y is disturbing.
Are people really that bad?

You've got to keep in mind a good amount of the playerbase is ~12 year old, and at that age people just use anything that looks powerful rather than if there's strategy behind it.

Are you implying just because something has the "legendary" tag tacked on that it's automatically broken?

I suppose I should've been more specific.
Teams of all Uber-legendaries.  Kyurem-W, Kyogre, the like.

WHY DOES ARMALDO KNOW SCRATCH

Sydney's usually the easiest for most people, but then I noticed you lacked any punchy fist 'mon. Crawdaunt is a good recipient of Brick Break which pairs nicely with Swords Dance for easy sweeping. Lacking that, you could hope to simply wear down Sydney with good defenses, but you lack a real tank on your team, which might explain why the only viable option is to level grind. Friendly reminder that in 3rd Gen, Waterfall is classified as a special move and therefore won't get boosted by Swords Dance.

I don't remember if it's Phoebe or Glacia next, but either one shouldn't be too problematic. Throw Stalker in front of Phoebe and Faint Attack everything that isn't named Dusclops. When the big lug makes his appearance, hit it with a Leech Seed and THEN smack it with Faint Attack. As for Glacia, if you taught Carapar Brick Break she should be easy pickings due to his resistances to Water and Ice. Another option is to out-speed with Andy and hit her Water/Ice types hard with Spark (or invest in Thunderbolt at the Mauville Game Corner), then switch to Church when Glalie rolls in and smack it with Earthquake.

Drake's normally the most challenging, but you have Church who resists Salamence's Flamethrower, doesn't take residual damage from Flygon's Sandstorm, and can x4 everything not named Shelgon with Ice Beam. If you're feeling a bit shaky, throw an X Sp. Atk on him during the first turn. He should be bulky enough to survive whatever Shelgon's doing and retaliate with Ice Beams from then on. If your Swampert is slow, replace that with an X Speed or two, pausing to heal if necessary. Don't underestimate the power of X Items during the Elite 4!

Personally, most of your team seems well-prepared to tackle the Elite 4 with minimal grinding. If anything, teach Carapar Brick Break (obtained in a house on the left side of Sootopolis) and give Grimlock literally anything that's not Scratch. I don't think he can take advantage of any good Bug-type STAB (mainly, X-Scissor doesn't exist yet) but even Secret Power is better with its 20 extra BP and chance of inflicting status effects. I'd also consider Nadine a one-trick pony due to her only attack being the sacrificial Double-Edge, Attract depending on gender, and Assist possibly drawing something harmful to her like the weaker Take Down, two Protect slots (which could be out-sped and therefore nullified), Rollout locking her into a move, and Self-Destruct. Don't get me wrong, Assist is one hell of a cool move and Delcatty really doesn't have much more going for her, but I'd consider it a last resort. If nothing else Heal Bell is useful after Phoebe's fight, as she loves to throw Thunder Wave and Will-o-Wisp in your general direction.

That scratch on armaldo is really hurting my eyes...
Give it any physical attack, and you'll be good. Earthquake would probably be a good choice.

Pretty well balanced team other than that.

I'm really surprised nobody talked about this yet.

Twitch plays Pokémon is the project of a sadistic hacker who modified Pokémon Red/Blue so that users can send commands with IRC. In other words, the whole internet plays on the same Pokémon game.
This project runs since a week now, and many memes and culture were created.

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/tw ... ys-pokemon

Because of the internet's commands conflict, using the Helix Fossil, checking Pokémon cries in the Pokédex, releasing the mightiest Pokémon or buying and selling back for half the price are common stuff.
