The Kirlia's Sassy (-Speed) so it's unusable.
You've also got a Swirlix and Floette, I'm gonna update the OP.

Aw damn, both of those pieces of information suck!
I guess you could trade the Kirlia for something more valuable?

Oh no, it's going into my collection. Forever. Untouched.
So really it's like not having it at all.

Alright, from recent experience here's a heads up for anybody who uses their Pokemon X or Y game in a different 3DS-
Your friend details will change to match the friends stored on that system's friends list. When you put your game into a console different from the previous one you put it into, no friends will appear on the PSS HUD until your game sees them online again. This will not affect the Pokemon available in the friend safari and none will be lost, but all of the people you haven't seen online since switching will have a blank avatar with a ? on it.

Well, how about that? I lent this spare one to my brother who plays Pokemon Y on it as well! Still, He didn't add any friends to the system. So it's all good, I didn't ruin anything for him. Heh.

Lol. Some passerby just tried trading with me. He/she was offering me a phione named manaphy. His/her profile says manaphy for trade. I offered a shiny luvdisc and he/she refused.
Funny thing tho.. He had a lot of obvious hacked pokemon for trade. Shiny lvl 30 mew in a pokeball. Shiny keldeo level 17. Shiny entei in event ball. And more. Still offered my shiny luvdisc and the guy cancelled trading altogether. Hahah

Okay so my time is nearly up, i did my best for how long i could and that meet up is tomorrow. Slightly dissapointed to find out it is in fact a competition aswell, so they'll be super competitive uber trainers no doubt. Here's the only pokemon i've managed to get to lvl 100 or near, the only pokemon that i raised since lvl 1 with the correct natures and training are Mismagius and Heracross, the rest were either only included cause they looked cool and leveled up and trained as best as possible, or from just casual rearing with no special treatment.

What I notice the most is the movesets. Mismagius, Heracross and Aggron are good, but you can't have special moves on physically powerful pokemon and physical moves on pokemon with high special attack! They ain't gonna do much damage to opponents at all.
Alexxx-Returns
The Sergal that Didn't Vore
Yeah, I will agree.
Also may I suggest Ice Beam on the Protean Greninja? That can be a good dragon-killer.
Actually now I mention that, perhaps a strong/fast Fairy type? Or if you don't have time for that, maybe Dazzling Gleam on the Mismagius? If you were to do that though, I'd say probably replace one of the Ghost type moves, because there's not really much use in having two of the same type unless there's a really good method behind it. Which you may have, I don't know.

To be honest, there aren't really any fairies that are both speedy and powerful. Teaching one to Mismagius is probably the best option. I only just realised that Phantom Force is a physical move, so you're gonna want to get rid of that one. I recommend replacing it with Dazzling Gleam, which is a TM move.

perfect IV breeding is so hard to do. The highest I get is 4 perfect IVs

I'd go with Mismagius, Heracross, Aggron, Greninja, Garchomp and Haxorus. Relicanth won't be an asset defensively due to its Ground and Fighting weaknesses (Mega Aggron covers these weaknesses with Filter), and both Umbreon don't have good moves to utilize. Among the other six though, there's pretty good synergy. You've got a glaring weakness to fairies, but a Mega Aggron should be able to deal with them. Unfortunately its Calm nature sets it back offensively, but the special defense boost is beneficial for tanking Moonblasts and Dazzling Gleams. I recommend giving it Earthquake to help deal with Mega Mawile, at the very least. You might want to try the Rest and Sleep Talk combo as well, since you'll definitely want to keep it alive.
As has been said, avoid putting moves on Pokemon that don't work with their stats, like Phantom Force on Mismagius. I recommend putting either Choice Specs or a Choice Scarf on it; the Choice Scarf can help you outspeed major threats like Mega Gengar, but Mismagius is pretty fast without it, and might appreciate the power the Choice Specs provides. Since it's your only Pokemon that can utilize the Choice Specs effectively, you might want to reserve the Choice Scarf or Life Orb for something else.
I use my Greninja physically, but you might want to veer it towards special attack; it will be easier to use that way, and you'll want another dedicated special attacker. As Alexxx said, Ice Beam would be a valuable asset to your team. I recommend either the Life Orb or Choice Scarf, with the latter being useful against Dragon Dancers.
Don't waste your time trying to get your Garchomp to set up Sandstorm. The benefits are not worth the turn wasted, especially on such an offensive powerhouse. Also avoid using two moves of the same type, unless there's a significant strategic advantage to both. You generally don't want to use Dig or other moves that take up 2 turns, because that allows your opponent to set up on you.
That Haxorus is all over the place. It has potential though. Don't rely on Guillotine or other OHKO moves, because they'll never work when you want them to.
Also yes, IVs are the stats a Pokemon is born with.

It gets harder the more IV's you have. Consider there's a 1/32 chance that any IV will be flawless by default. You can pass down up to 5 IV's (via Destiny Knot) to the baby, but you can't control which one is left behind to be generated randomly. You also can't control which parents they get which IV's from (except for one, if you use a Power item).
So if, e.g. you have two Pokemon with 3IV's in complementary categories, you can guarantee that one is passed down but the other 4 only have a 50% chance of being the flawless one - so at best you have an overall a 1/16 chance of producing a 5IV baby from the pair. (Without a Power item to guarantee the one IV, the overall probability drops to 1/32).
Another example, if you have two Pokemon with 5IV's in the same exact categories, you only have a 1/6 chance of the baby inheriting all five (much better than the previous example), though you are guaranteed that the baby will inherit four of them
Now if you combine that with the 1/32 chance for the remaining stat to be flawless -- that's a total of a 1/192 chance of breeding a 6IV flawless child from the pair. And it's a best case scenario.

its even more frustrating when yer breeding with two 6iv pokemon.. ye don't know which stat will be the random one. and the chance to pass down abilities too. sometimes I get the iv spread i want but the ability is all wrong (as well as gender.. i want em male. lol).
