Any Advice greatly appreciated
Your team is, to put it politely, not the best.
Stoutland, D. Scizor & Dedenne are terrible pokemon. Highly vanilla, little bulk, just very bad.
Honestly the only good pokemon you have is Greninja. If you temp trade it to me I can teach it Dark Pulse, and you’re better off with extrasensory over hydro pump and grass knot over dark matter, due to accuracy and reliablility.
I understand But due to my boxes being sub-par these are my best options,
heres my box, for reference
Are those all the pokemon you have?
A not bad pokemon to have would be mega typhlosion, it’s an amazing sweeper with it’s ability basically being moxie. and you can find it very easily in sonata city as a cyndaquil with the stone.
Its an egglocke, So I would have to get it from an egg somehow which seems absurdly unlikely
Well, you should have mentioned that before I started giving you advice 
But if this team is making the best out of a situation that’s given, then you’ve got a decent team. Have you studied the teams?
lmao all good, I actually do get the victory road encounter still, and am probably gonna replace dedenne with dugtrio because I’m now realizing that dedenne is even worse than I thought, but i’m probably gonna make sure I have a strategy for every team when I get to the pokemon league
My Victory Road Encounter became fairy delta petilil, so I’ll probably swap dedenne for that
UPDATE: Kayla absolutely wiped the floor with me, It sucks but with the late game RNG I got I was set up for failure, and there wasn’t really much I could’ve done
