I will not make pokemon suggestions, but I strongly suggest you rebuild your whole team. And remember, don't use 00bers(aka legendaries).
 
1.00bers are for nubs. They are pathetic.

2.Go to www.gamefaqs.com, go to the R/S guides, and find the master trainer guide. If you cannot find it, I will tell you everything myself. BTW, I would give you a direct link, but you can't direct link to gamefaqs besides the main page.
 
The thing about 00bers is that they're powerful, but too powerful compared to catchable-in-multiples-per-playthrough Pokémon. Kyogre, a Lati with Soul Dew, Rekkukuza, Kek-king, etc are all perfectly beatable, but not by the average Pokémon.

I'll give an example. Take this behemoth:

Slaking @ Choice Band
Nature: Jolly or Timid
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, either 6 HP or 6 SpDef
Hyper Beam
Earthquake
Shadow Ball
Brick Break/something else

Sure, a Trapinch or Dugtrio with Protect could make that thing cry easily, but... for Trapinch or Dugtrio to beat Kek-king, they have to switch in safely. This doesn't solve the fact that Kek-king can OHKO anything in 1 turn. The previous Pokemon you had out has to be sacrificed to OHKO... only then can you bring out Trapinch and Dugtrio and beat Kek-king for free guaranteed. This isn't preferable at all.

Well, there IS another slightly easier way to do it, which will spell doom for a few other guys on their team as well... "Hi, my name is Heracross, I have Endure, Reversal, and a Salac Berry, and I'm gonna beat you up!" I shouldn't have to say the problems inherent in that, however.

This entire post has been about how ONE simple uber has a hard time being beaten... multiply the headachy-ness by six for a full team of 00bers and you'll get why people tend to ban them.
 
Slaking isn't an 00ber though. Most competitive teams can take it out easily, and even use it to thier advantage. All a poke needs is Sub and a stat booster and they have a great way to easily strengthen thier pokemon. Fighting against Slaking is Ninjasks and many others dream.

Kek-king's base stats add up to 670, which is only ten shy of the 680 that is the 00bers' distinction. Kek-king is also able to take down many, many different Pokémon with a varied moveset and stat training in Attack and Speed. It's powerful, and while not the hardest Pokémon to take down, it's still a beast to deal with.
