Trying to Make a Team for Battle Spot

Hi, I'm pretty new to PvP Pokemon battling, but I wanted to try playing some Battle Spot singles and see how I do. Below is a team I came up with. I started with Chansey, Gyarados (mega), and Talonflame as my core that I plan to usually pick and then based my next 3 picks on Pokemon that would deter my opponent from using Pokemon types that would counter my core Pokemon. Feedback is appreciated! :)

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
- Thunder Wave
- Minimize

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance

Talonflame @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Roost
- Will-O-Wisp

Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 240 HP / 176 Def / 92 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Tail
- Fire Blast

Camerupt @ Charcoal
Ability: Solid Rock
Level: 50
EVs: 248 HP / 176 SpD / 84 Spe
Calm Nature
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power
- Protect
- Heat Wave

Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Will-O-Wisp

Vanilla Camerupt is outclassed by its Mega counterpart because the former is slow and frail, a bad combination. Just putting this out there. There are better Ground Pokemon to be using in Battle Spot, like Gliscor, Excadrill, Rhyperior, and Therian Landorus:

Gliscor:
-Substitute
-Protect
-Earthquake
-Toxic/Guillotine
Nature: Impish
EVs: 228 HP/68 Def/212 Spe
Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

or
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Knock Off/Facade
-Roost
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP/196 SDef/60 Spe
Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

Excadrill:
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Rock Slide
-Horn Drill/Fissure
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker

Rhyperior:
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Blast
-Ice Punch/Megahorn
-Horn Drill/Megahorn
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 SDef
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Solid Rock

Therian Landorus:
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide/Knock Off
-U-turn
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/240 Def/8 SDef/8 Spe
Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet

or
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Knock Off
-U-turn/Explosion
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/184 Spe
Item: Soft Sand/Earth Plate/Focus Sash

or
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Knock Off/Superpower/Explosion
-U-turn
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

The negative priority of Dragon Tail makes Garchomp's good Speed rather moot when using said move. Outrage/Dragon Claw/Dual Chop should be the Dragon STAB on offensive Garchomp sets:
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock/Swords Dance
-Rock Tomb/Dragon Claw/Fire Blast
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs; 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Lum Berry/Focus Sash/Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin

or
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw/Dual Chop
-Rock Slide/Stone Edge/Fire Fang
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf

or
-Swords Dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Dual Chop/Draco Meteor/Fire Blast
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

Roost is a waste of a moveslot on Choiced Talonflame, IMO. U-turn should be used over it to let Talonflame scout attacks:
-Flare Blitz
-Brave Bird
-U-turn
-Will-o-Wisp/Sleep Talk/Tailwind
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 44 HP/244 Atk/220 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings

Gyarados gained Crunch in OR/AS. It should be using it over Earthquake or Ice Fang, preferably the latter.

Mega Gardevoir has good Speed, and maxing out its HP kind of wastes that away. Just stick to max Special Attack/max Speed to make the most out of said Speed.

pretty solid team, but Camerupt doesn't need heat wave and flamethrower, only one fire move is good enough.

also, choice band is bad on a Talon that has non attacking moves. If you want extra power, life orb is good but it will really add up with recoil from brave-blitz (that should be a move!). Personally I'd recomend swords dance Talonflame, where you replace wisp with SD.

Minimize is fun when it works, but Chansey works best as a cleric. I can't tell you how many times a chansey or vaporeon with heal bell can change the battle, usually by freeing up a pokemon that was burned or paralysed to sweep again.

Also, you really should make a choice between which megas you are going to use. I know some people like to choose which mega they will use in battle, but the other pokemon becomes a lot weaker.

Choice Band Talonflame has the offensive moves it needs in only three moveslots. The fourth move can be a status move so Talonflame can get in some last-ditch support before it goes down (especially Tailwind).

True, was replying to OP but posted after you.
