So... first I'll tell you about my team XD
My team currently is; Sylveon, Torterra, Luxray, Delphox, Noivern, and Floatzel.
My question is well... is this a good/ok team? I kind of want to change out some Pokemon, but keep others.
The ones I'm NOT changing are Sylveon, Luxray, and Noivern. So, what do you guys think I should switch them out for? Floatzel, I am considering switching out for an Empoleon, and Delphox for a Typhlosion, while Torterra, I don't know.
Though, I really don't know about Delphox either, because I like him, but I kind of want maybe... a better Pokemon? (Plus I've always loved Typhlosion...I just don't know how good he is.) Heh, I've played Pokemon since I was pratically a baby... I just never have really done Wi-Fi battles, so I don't know who's good and who isn't. :u

So... to sum it up... Who should I switch Torterra out for, or should I just keep him?
Should I switch Floatzel out for Empoleon...or keep him?
Annnd should I switch Delphox out for Typhlosion, keep him, or get another Pokemon, and if so...who?

Thank you! Also remember that I don't want duplicate types... I prefer to have variation.
Also! Two Pokemon I have are Meganium and Sceptile... if those could be switched out with Torterra? (Or just suggest something else, I don't know.
 
You should check out Smogon if you want advice on individual pokémon, and their commonly-used movesets in the metagame, they also describe what team options to go for in each case.

Obviously you can also just make a team you like and think can do well, but being aware of the metagame will help you avoid not being ready for entry hazards, special walls, trick room users, or choiced pokémon.

What I'll say is that you could keep Torterra, and go for: Leech Seed, Synthesis, Wood Hammer/Earthquake, Stealth Rock, holding leftovers. This can afford you a nice physical wall, with decent STAB moves. You could also go for a sweeping one with Rock Polish if you feel like it and make it a special sweeper to surprise people, maybe setting up a nasty plot and baton passing, though its SpAtt isnt great to begin with... but that'll definitely surprise anyone playing you.

Bottom line is: you need to find your own style :) sweeper/staller/mixed/troll, you need to try out a few things and see what you enjoy. Also watch some VGC videos on youtube and check out a few youtubers' battles to get ideas, that helps too.
