What Pokemon are you using. Also, what are their levels, moves and items. The Kalos Elite 4 are ridiculously easy, you can 1-Hit K.O. almost everything with the right moves, using just a level 60-65 Pokemon. Tell me your team and I'll give you advice. Using the GTS may be easy, but it's completely obsolete. Just to be faster, here is an example of how you should go about it. Say you started with Greninja, have Dark Pulse, Extrasensory, Scald / Surf and Ice Beam. That way you can deal with Malva and Drasna, most of Wikstorm's team, as well as every Pokemon Diantha has except for Gardevoir. For Delphox, have Psychic, Shadow Ball, Flamethrower and Grass Knot / Dazzling Gleam. This way, you can beat most of Wikstorm's Pokemon, Drasna's with a bit of difficulty and if you opt for Grass Knot, almost everything Siebold has (watch out for Gyarados) and most of Diantha's team. As for Chesnaught go with Seed Bomb, Spiky Shield, Earthquake and Payback / Shadow Claw / Rock Slide. Once again, this let's you deal with most of the opponents' Pokemon. Generally, always go with the most coverage, have all your Pokemon at levels at least between 60-70, choose your items wisely, don't waste any turns (especially on Gyarados) and you should be fine. In my first playthrough for example, I used only my lv.80 at the time Absol and 1-Hit K.O.ed everything. If you are using one too, almost nothing can beat it in one hit, so start with swords dance and then attack.

I have a level 75 Gengar which is my fallback man if anything gets too bad. It's been really frustrating trying to beat these guys for some reason. They always get a 1 hit, I put in another Pokemon, use the revive to revive the dead guy, he one hits the new Pokemon and it repeats.My lineup is a Lvl 59 Typhloshion, Lvl 60 Lucario with Megastone, Lvl 61 Hawlucha, Lvl 59 Blastoise with Mega Stone, Level 74 Gengar with Mega Stone, and a Lvl 63 Tyrantrum.

You aren't using your starter? Why?
Anyway, do this:
For Wikstorm: Start with Tyrantrum, use eartquake on Klefki and Aegislash, Rock Slide then Earthquake on Probopass. As for Scissor, switch to Typhlosion (where did you even get that?).
For Malva: Mega Lucario, Mega Blastoise or Tyrantrum again, spam Earthquakes, Surf or something similar. For Talonflame, just a Rock Slide from Tyrantrum should be more than enough.
For Drasna: Mega Blastoise and keep using Ice Beam, or Mega Gengar and spam Dazzling Gleam and Psychic on Dragalge.
For Siebold: Start with Hawlucha, use Swords Dance and then your strongest Fighting type move you can use. Then, for Gyarados, don't switch out, leave Hawlucha in and use Rock Slide or any other Rock type move you can teach it.
For Diantha: Just use Blastoise, because our dear Champion has an entire team weak to Water and Ice, but only has ONE move that is super effective on pure Water types, Thunderbolt, but the Pokemon that know it is Gardevoir, which comes in last. So, start with Blastoise, Ice Beam on Hawlucha, Tyrantrum, Goodra and Gourgeist, Surf / Scald / Water Pulse / Aura Sphere on Aurorus, then switch to Gengar, no mega, for Gardevoir and use a Shadow Ball. Even if it survives and kills you with Psychic, she will then use a Full Restore, which means free turn for you to attack again.
DON'T waste time on reviving during a battle, especially when the opponent uses a Full Restore, unless you only have two or just one Pokemon left.

My brother is a large fan of Pokemon. He taught me how to find Cyndaquil. I'll try your advice.
Actually Cyndaquil was given to my brother and he gave it to me.
I lost to the Champ
So last night I had one of the most heart racing battles in my Pokemon life. I had only 2 Pokemon fighting the champ. Those were Lucario and Gengar. Lucario was near dead so I used him as a dummy to heal Gengar from the Mega Evolved opponent. With only 1 Pokemon I was deciding which move to choose and thankfully I chose Hex. Loan Behold it had one hit the Mega and I beat the Champion. It reminded me of my battle with Palkia.

Good for you. I actually wrote some advice, but for some reason it didn't get posted
Hawlucha is the only Pokemon she has that can outspeed Mega Blastoise, but it usually starts with Swords Dance and it only takes an Ice Beam to bring it down. The rest are really slow, except Mega Gardevoir that is, and they all go down with a Water Pulse, Ice Beam or Aura Sphere from Mega Blastoise. Gengar should be faster than Gardevoir and, of course, Gourgeist. How did you lose? What did you lose to? A pure Water type shouldn't have any difficulty beating Diantha. Especially at that level, you should at least be able to 1-Hit K.O. almost everything with the right move.
