    Earthquake hits Fairies hard already, so there's no need for Poison Jab for Garchomp. Instead, Garchomp can use Stone Edge to hit fliers (especially Togekiss) or Fire Fang (to hit Skarmory, Scizor, Genesect, etc.).

    Mega Gardevoir should use Hyper Voice as its Fairy STAB; otherwise, use its regular form with Moonblast, as Pixilate is useless without Hyper Voice. Gardevoir also has a hard time setting up Calm Mind because of its terrible Defense. Gardevoir would also run Timid on all cases, despite its middling Speed:
    -Hyper Voice
    -Psyshock
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Gardevoirite
    Ability: Trace

    Non-Mega Gardevoir should use Moonblast, not the Mega version:
    -Substitute
    -Moonblast
    -Focus Blast
    -Shadow Ball/Psyshock/Will-o-Wisp
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Trace

    or
    -Wish
    -Protect
    -Moonblast
    -Will-o-Wisp/Heal Bell
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Trace

    or
    -Moonblast
    -Shadow Ball/Psyshock
    -Focus Blast
    -Trick/Healing Wish
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf
    Ability: Trace

    Why are you using Jolly on Galvantula when it's meant to be a special attacker? Timid is the better nature in this case. Sticky Web already slows down grounded switch-ins and Galvantula can eliminate all of Magic Bounce users with its STAB moves (Espeon and Mega Absol are weak to Bug Buzz; Xatu is weak to Thunder), so there's no need for Thunder Wave:
    -Sticky Web
    -Thunder
    -Bug Buzz
    -Volt Switch/Hidden Power (Ice/Fire)
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
    Ability: Compound Eyes

    It seems to me you're using specially defensive Goodra. It should look like this:
    -Dragon Pulse
    -Flamethrower
    -Thunderbolt
    -Toxic/Dragon Tail
    Nature: Calm/Sassy
    EVs: 248 HP/8 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

    Steel Pokemon synergize well with your dragons, like Ferrothorn and Scizor (choose one Steel):

    Ferrothorn:
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes
    -Leech Seed
    -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave
    -Power Whip/Protect
    Nature: Relaxed
    EVs: 252 HP/208 Def/48 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Iron Barbs

    Scizor:
    -U-turn
    -Bullet Punch
    -Superpower
    -Knock Off/Pursuit
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
    Item: Choice Band
    Ability: Technician

    or
    -Swords Dance
    -Bug Bite
    -Bullet Punch
    -Knock Off/Superpower
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Technician

    or
    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Punch
    -Bug Bite/U-turn/X-Scissor
    -Roost
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 248 HP/152 Atk/108 SDef
    Item: Scizorite/Leftovers
    Ability: Technician

    or
    -U-turn
    -Bullet Punch/Knock Off
    -Defog
    -Roost
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 248 HP/84 Atk/172 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Scizorite
    Ability: Technician

    This team is screwed over by Talonflame, so Wash Rotom checks it:
    -Volt Switch
    -Hydro Pump
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Pain Split/Rest
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Chesto Berry

    or
    -Hydro Pump
    -Volt Switch
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Pain Split/Thunderbolt
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 228 HP/60 SAtk/220 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Volt Switch
    -Hydro Pump
    -Hidden Power (Ice)/Thunderbolt
    -Trick
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf
