Fair point. What about Talonflame?
All of Ash's Kalos Pokémon had some good feats this season that puts them in Tier 2 at best (Except Noivern who was pretty much the weak link of this team, but that's somewhat fair considering he's a hatchling still and Greninja who's proved himself to be Ash's strongest Pokémon if not one of his Top 3 at the least).
Talonflame - One of Ash's primary Gym Battlers who competed in ALL of Ash's Kalos Gym Battles (Except vs. Clemont) and took at least one Pokémon down in almost every gym battle before going down itself (With the exception of Olympia where it tag teamed with Frogadier to win that one, also Ash vs. Olympia is hands down the best Gym Battle I've ever seen). Not to mention Talonflame fought Moltres (but it lost that fight and would've died if Ash hadn't jumped into a volcano to save it and Frogadier saving the two of them from falling into said volcano). Only had 1 Kalos League win beating Shota's Slaking and stalemating with Alain's Unfezant.
Hawlucha - Like Talonflame a primary battler but only appeared in 5 of Ash's 10 Kalos Gym Battles, but when he did he won most of his matches and had more Kalos League wins than Talonflame beating a Mega Absol and Alain's Weavile after tanking a barrage of Ice Beams and Night Slashes. He has impressive showings like shattering Valerie's Trick Room and fighting Zapdos (Although he didn't win).
Goodra - 100% Win Rate before the Kalos League.
Noivern - Has only had FIVE battles since being caught by Ash and lost most of them. Lost to Alain's Metang & Weavile and Shota's Clawitzer. He beat Shota's Doublade and stalemated with his Salamence in the Kalos League. But other than that, Noivern is the new Torterra. (He fought the same Zapdos that beat Hawlucha and gained the upperhand before Team Rocket interrupted said battle).
Greninja - The Ace of the Kalos Team. Won most of his battles as a Froakie, was undefeated as Frogadier, and has only lost 4 times as a Greninja. Strong enough to go head to head with Elite Four level Pokémon such as Alain's Mega Charizard X and Champion Diantha's Gardevoir and he almost beat both of them back to back but didn't due to the Ash-Greninja form being too much of a strain on Ash and caused Ash to pass out before those battles could conclude. But apparently he swept the entire Kalos League for Ash by himself until the Top 8, dominated a Mega Sceptile and tanked a couple of Leaf Storms and still won. However for some BS reason he lost to Alain's Mega Charizard X costing Ash the finals (although I'm being told that there might've been some foul play involved in that match).
