Well, I must admit it took a time to learn new mechanics and I am not sure if I know every change... but I hope so...
I decided to build my new team. At first I thought all team must have Mega Evolution in order to win... now I am finding out I was mistaken, Mega Evolutions seems to be very good and their stats are awesome, however they cannot carry any item (they must have their Mega Stone)... it influenced me a little bit... you will see...
First I started with my tested duo (tested in BW) Chansey and Sableye. Together they provide good typing and they're both very good walls.
I used to have Mandibuzz for a moment instead of Sableye. First I wanted a Defoger... but Defog also blow out my own Stealth Rocks and I really need Taunter, so my Mandibuzz learned Taunt over Defog... later I decided to use Sableye because of his spin blocking typing.
Then a Redfighter joined my team. I used to play with him in BW as well, he's amazing Pokémon thanks to his bulk and now, his Bullet Punch provide good typing against Fairy Pokémon. On the other hand there is no longer his Dark and Ghost resistance what Steel types used to have. He isn't resistant to Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch...
I added a Stealth Rocker. There's only two of my favorite Stealth Rockers... Forretress and Donphan...
It's probably because they have access to Rapid Spin as well and maybe even because of Sturdy. I choosed Donphan over Forretress due to Scizor's weakness (even Sableye isn't so good against physical Fire types).
Next spot was Talonflame's. Why? You need to ask? I am sure you don't. He has quite a good attack (actually not as good, but at least I can have Adamant one) and GALE WINGS!!! Flying attacks get priority +1. Yeah, he is weak ×4 to Stealth Rocks, but who cares? Brave Bird!
The last spot is really question for me... I am not sure who is better, Lucario or Alakazam... I must admit I like Alakazam more... he can be burned and poisoned without taking damage, he is faster, he has more attacks (Lucario usually have only three and Nasty Plot) he isn't hurt by Spikes and Stealth Rocks (yeah, Lucario isn't really afraid of Stealth Rocks as well, but...) and he's more powerful (it depends - Alakazam has Life Orb, Lucario has Adaptability... Lucario has more powerful STAB, but other attacks are weaker than Alakazam's). So why choosed I Lucario? Because of opponents... and because of Focus Blast. Ferrothorn and Heatran are quite a good Pokémon against me, so I need to take them down and the most reliable Pokémon of those 7 (my 5 Pokémon in team and Alakazam and Lucario) is Lucario. He has STAB that they're weak to and his STAB is 100% accurate (what is THE reason).

-Will-O-Wisp
-Taunt
-Knock Off
-Recover
Will-O-Wisp is his main survival move, thanks to it he can survive almost all non-fire physical attackers.
Taunt is to prevent opponent's crippling, Spikes and you know what. Knock Off is there over Night Shade because since XY Knock Off gets boosted and is now one of the best (if not best) Dark attacks. Recover is main healing move.

Well, this is standart set. Seismic Toss is damaging move usually to break Substitute. Toxic is to let opponent die, whenever I wall them, Aromatherapy is to cure crippled teammates and Softboiled is her healing move (I might change it for Wish, but I like Softboiled more).

My usual Scizor set. You might have few questions about it so I'll try to answer them. First of all, Bug Bite is his strongest move and STAB... Brick Break over Superpower? Yes, because when I get into a killing spree I don't want to be stopped by Defense drops and Attack drops... (I would run Superpower only on Bander) and also there is the thing that it destroys opponent's Reflect and Light Screen - pretty useful. Another question might be something like that "Why are you not playing Scizor Mega and Alakazam instead of Lucario?" - thats pretty good question, I like you are asking :D. Well, if I played Scizor Mega I would definately need Roost, that means he would have Roost and Swords Dance and only two other attacking moves... that sucks.

Yeah! I don't really need Spe EVs! With a few Bulk Ups I survive mirror, and with a few Bulk Ups I Brave Bird down everything. I maximized his HP to give him the ultimate bulk he can reach and I like it. I love the way I must think about every move and about situation when should I use Roost (because then he's not weak to Rock ×4 but just ×2).
Well, this set really works. He is incredible.
You've probably noticed the similarity between him and that red bird from "Angry Birds".

-Nasty Plot
-Vacuum Wave
-Aura Sphere
-Dark Pulse
Again I'm expecting a few questions... Okay, so here we go - Nasty Plot is quite a common move, why do I play Sp. Attacker? Because I already have two physical attackers and I dont want to be crippled by burn (also not many opponents predict Sp. Lucario). Vacuum Wave is unarguable... probably... well priority attack, boosted by Adaptability... awesome. "Aura Sphere?... Really" - "Yeah! It's cool"... Aura Sphere is here as Stallbreaker and it works perfectly even against Chansey and Goodra... I am pretty sure about this move, well it is the reason why do I play this Pokémon! "Dark Pulse? Why not HP Ice?" Well I am not afraid of dragons (maybe I am a little bit and that is the reason of playing Donphan's Ice Shard there but... no, I am not afraid!), Dark Pulse is against Ghosts, it fits and it is usable... why not!
Well thats all for my team. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will feel free to answer Muhehehe. If you have any suggests, just tell (I dont really want to change my Pokés, but I might consider some changes and I might try everything... why not).
