Editing Pokémon Stats
I'm just beginning to take Pokemon Y very seriously, I've finished the game and want to start getting into competitive battles.
I keep reading about Pokémon having specific stats (different per moveset etc). How do people go about changing their Pokémon's statistics to suit a particular moveset?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It really depends on the pokemon and the moves. I'm no expect on competitive pokemon, but let's have an example: Charizard.
There could be two, maybe three types of a charizard: special attack, physical attacker, or a tank. I'm not sure if you're familiar with IVs and EVs, but a special attack fighting pokemon would want 31 (the maximum) individual values in Sp atk and 0 in attack, a physical attacker would want 31 IVs in attack, and a tank would want max IVs (I would imagine), especially in defence and special defence.
Regarding moves, you'd want fire type moves on charizard, and maybe dragon/flying ones if you plan to mega evolve it. STAB (same type attack bonus) moves are moves that share the same type as the pokemon using it. You will get a bonus amount of damage if you use a fire move with a fire pokemon, eg flamethrower with charizard.
You can't change a pokemon's stats once you get it. You can modify it's Effort Values though, which will impact the stats it has. To get a pokemon with good base stats, you'll want to breed them. There are good guides at many places to do this.
If you have any questions, don't hestitate to ask me. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, but I can try help.

Can you change Pokémon Base stats?
With Nature Mints, you can change the Nature of a Pok\xe9mon, which influences their stats as they level up. Each Nature boosts one particular stat and decreases another, so you will want to focus on the best stat for a specific Pok\xe9mon. The only Nature that is different is Serious Nature, where all stats are equal.How do stat modifiers work Pokémon?
Stat modifiers. When a stat is used in a calculation in battle, a number of modifiers may be applied during the calculation. During a battle, a Pok\xe9mon's effective stats may be raised or lowered by certain moves, Abilities, and held items.How do you use Pixelmon editor?
