Using 5 Pokemon as opposed to 6 keeps them going at a good pace for the level curve- you won't surpass important CPU levels but you won't fall too far behind when the game's level curve spikes towards the end and might facilitate grinding, either. It's a great middle ground. Plus it gives you the benefit of having room for an HM user, which helps mitigate some of the earlier games' issues.
Although this only applies when you aren't using Gen 6+ Exp. Share.
