Is this for Battle Spot or for standard OU? Mega Salamence and Aegislash are banned to Ubers.

Battle Spot:
Your current Salamence set runs no Normal moves whatsoever. This is important in order to take advantage of its Aerilate ability, which makes said Normal moves Flying type. Fly is useless in comparison. Crunch gives Salamence little to no coverage and Salamence no longer needs its Dragon STAB as much since Aerilated attacks have good neutral coverage:
-Dragon Dance
-Double-Edge/Return
-Earthquake
-Roost/Substitute/Fire Blast/Draco Meteor
Nature: Jolly/Adamant/Naive/Naughty
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate

or
-Draco Meteor
-Double-Edge
-Fire Blast
-Earthquake/Roost/Hyper Voice
Nature: Naive/Rash
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate

or
-Substitute
-Toxic
-Roost
-Return/Double-Edge
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate

Tyranitar doesn't have much use for Thunderbolt, as its Rock STAB handles Flying targets just fine; it still hits Water Pokemon reasonably hard:
-Rock Tomb/Stone Edge
-Pursuit/Stealth Rock
-Ice Punch
-Superpower/Earthquake/Crunch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Assault Vest/Chople Berry/Lum Berry/Smooth Rock
Ability: Sand Stream

or
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide
-Crunch/Earthquake/Superpower
-Pursuit
-Ice Punch/Ice Beam
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream

or
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide
-Crunch
-Pursuit/Ice Punch
-Earthquake/Superpower
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 48 HP/252 Atk/4 Def/204 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream

If you're giving Empoleon physical moves, you're doing it wrong because its Special Attack is superior. Azumarill outclasses Empoleon as a Water physical attacker because of its better offensive presence thanks to its Huge Power ability:
-Waterfall
-Aqua Jet
-Play Rough
-Knock Off/Superpower
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 228 HP/252 Atk/12 Def/12 SDef/4 Spe
Item: Choice Band/Assault Vest/Lum Berry
Ability: Huge Power

or
-Belly Drum
-Aqua Jet
-Play Rough
-Knock Off/Superpower/Waterfall
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 228 HP/252 Atk/12 Def/12 SDef/4 Spe
Item: Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power

Flygon is badly outclassed by other Ground Pokemon such as Garchomp and Excadrill. While 100 as a best stat isn't bad, it isn't good either. Excadrill is the better pick of the two in this case because it benefits from Tyranitar's sandstorm thanks to Sand Rush:
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Rock Slide
-Rapid Spin/Swords Dance
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush

Hypnosis + Dream Eater is a bad combination because switching will render Dream Eater moot. I can't think of anything else to replace it other than Cresselia as a bulky supporter. Before you ask why I'm suggesting a legendary, this is because legendary status has nothing to do with competitive viability:
-Psychic/Lunar Dance
-Ice Beam
-Moonlight
-Lunar Dance/Thunder Wave/Toxic
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Rocky Helmet

If you still want to use Gardevoir, however, it can act as a backup Mega Evolution:
-Psyshock
-Hyper Voice
-Focus Blast/Taunt
-Hidden Power (Fire/Ground)/Focus Blast
Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace

Aegislash has better options than Swords Dance + King's Shield because this particular strategy is very easily played around:
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak
-Flash Cannon/Sacred Sword
-King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SDef
Item: Weakness Policy/Leftovers/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag

or
-Substitute
-Toxic
-King's Shield
-Shadow Ball/Flash Cannon
Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers

or
-Iron Head/Shadow Claw
-Shadow Sneak
-Sacred Sword
-Swords Dance/King's Shield
Nature: Adamant/Brave
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SDef
Item: Life Orb/Weakness Policy

Smogon OU:

Salamence's Mega Stone is banned to Ubers, meaning it can't be used in standard play. Regular Salamence is outclassed by Dragonite and Garchomp. I'd take the latter because the former's Multiscale will be broken in Tyranitar's sandstorm:
-Swords Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

or
-Stealth Rock
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Swords Dance
Nature: Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash/Lum Berry

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

or
-Draco Meteor
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Stealth Rock/Stone Edge
Nature: Naive
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Fire Blast
-Dragon Claw/Fire Blast
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

What I said about Tyranitar above also applies here:
-Stone Edge
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Superpower/Earthquake
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe (Jolly) or 100 HP/252 Atk/156 Spe (Adamant)
Item: Choice Scarf (Jolly)/Choice Band (Adamant)
Ability: Sand Stream

or
-Stealth Rock
-Stone Edge
-Crunch/Ice Beam/Fire Blast
-Pursuit
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 248 HP/80 Def/180 SDef
Item: Smooth Rock/Chople Berry
Ability: Sand Stream

As I already mentioned, Azumarill outclasses Empoleon as a bulky Water Pokemon. On another note, it synergizes well with Tyranitar because it resists its Fighting and Water weaknesses:
offensive presence thanks to its Huge Power ability:
-Waterfall
-Aqua Jet
-Play Rough
-Knock Off/Superpower
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 164 HP/252 Atk/92 Spe (Choice Band) or 240 HP/252 Atk/16 SDef (Assault Vest)
Item: Choice Band/Assault Vest
Ability: Huge Power

Flygon is still outclassed by its fellow Ground Pokemon in OU play. Excadrill also synergizes with Tyranitar:
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
-Rock Slide
-Rapid Spin/Swords Dance
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush

Mega Gardevoir is better than its regular counterpart because of its Pixilated Hyper Voices:
-Psyshock
-Hyper Voice
-Focus Blast
-Taunt/Calm Mind/Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 16 HP/8 Def/232 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace

You can also consider Clefable, as it has Magic Guard to protect itself from sandstorm damage:
-Wish
-Protect
-Moonblast
-Heal Bell/Aromatherapy
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Unaware

or
-Moonblast
-Fire Blast
-Focus Blast/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam
-Soft-Boiled/Moonlight
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard

or
-Calm Mind
-Moonblast
-Thunder Wave
-Soft-Boiled/Moonlight
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP/172 Def/84 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard

Aegislash is an Uber. Gengar is a better idea for a Ghost attacker:
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave
-Focus Blast
-Taunt/Icy Wind/Destiny Bond
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Hex
-Sludge Wave/Substitute
-Taunt
-Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Timid
EVs: 8 HP/248 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Black Sludge

I'd would suggest reading up on common movesets for the Pokemon you're using because what you have right now is either lacking in coverage or straight up redundant.
