Sylveon learns Shadow Ball. It literally has no reason to use Hidden Power Ghost; the only Hidden Power type it should use is Fire. Note that Pixilate is listed as its ability because it turns its Normal moves into Fairy moves and gives those moves a 30% boost (like Hyper Voice); it won't affect moves that are already Fairy-type, like Moonblast:
-Wish
-Protect
-Hyper Voice
-Heal Bell
Nature: Bold
EVs: 244 HP/252 Def/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate

or
-Hyper Voice
-Shadow Ball
-Psyshock
-Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Modest
EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate

Fly is easily played around competitively. Dragon Rush is too inaccurate to be worth bothering. Charizard learns Earthquake, which it can use to get past Heatran, which walls its current move set:
-Dragon Dance
-Flare Blitz
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Earthquake/Roost
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Fire Punch
-Dragon Claw
-Will-o-Wisp
-Roost
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 248 HP/84 SDef/176 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

Impish is the better nature for Gliscor to use to enhance its walling capabilities:
-Earthquake
-Knock Off/Substitute/Ice Fang
-Toxic
-Protect/Roost
Nature: Impish
EVs: 244 HP/40 Def/244 Spe
Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

Lack of STAB hurts on Tentacruel, you know. Payback runs off of Tentacruel's weaker Attack stat, so don't even bother with it:
-Scald
-Sludge Bomb
-Rapid Spin
-Knock Off/Toxic
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spe
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze

Goodra is well-known for its incredible special bulk. You're not taking advantage of that. Noivern, Salamence and Garchomp play the role of fast Dragon attacker better:
-Draco Meteor
-Fire Blast
-Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast/Dragon Tail
Nature: Modest/Quiet/Sassy
EVs: 248 HP/252 SAtk/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

or
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Thunderbolt
-Toxic/Dragon Tail
Nature: Calm
EVs: 248 HP/8 Def/252 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

Aegislash learns Shadow Claw, which has STAB, outclassing Night Slash (Ghost and Dark hit the same types super effectively; the rule of thumb is if a Pokemon learns Ghost and Dark moves and gets STAB on one of those types, the type with STAB gets the nod ahead of the other):
-Shadow Ball
-Iron Head/Shadow Sneak
-Sacred Sword/Shadow Sneak
-King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 240 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak
-Sacred Sword
-Iron Head/King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 252 Atk/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Life Orb

or
-Swords Dance
-King's Shield/Shadow Claw
-Shadow Sneak
-Sacred Sword
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 240 HP/252 Atk/4 SDef/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Swords Dance
-Autotomize
-Shadow Claw
-Sacred Sword
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 84 HP/252 Atk/4 SDef/168 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Autotomize
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Sacred Sword/Iron Head/Flash Cannon
Nature: Rash/Modest
EVs: 88 Atk/252 SAtk/168 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Weakness Policy

Edit: sorry for not following the format; didn't see the disclaimer. Also, my changes may be too significant to be simply bolded in.

I am thinking about replacing MegaZard. Is there any other mega pokemon that could run goos with my team?
Other Mega Pokemon to consider are Mawile, Aggron, Venusaur, Pinsir, Scizor and Lucario. Mawile, Aggron, Scizor and Lucario have the Steel type, letting them resist Goodra's weaknesses. Venusaur resists Goodra's Fairy weakness. Pinsir is neat to have because you have a Rapid Spinner in Tentacruel:

-Sucker Punch
-Fire Fang/Swords Dance/Iron Head
-Swords Dance/Substitute
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 132 HP/252 Atk/124 Spe
Item: Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate

or
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Play Rough

-Stealth Rock
-Iron Head/Heavy Slam
-Thunder Wave/Ice Punch
-Earthquake/Rock Slide
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/16 Def/240 SDef
Item: Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy

or
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Iron Head/Heavy Slam
-Earthquake/Ice Punch

Ability: Sturdy

Venusaur:
