    This is my team so. Both Garchomp and Gyarados are still leveling up. But idk what moves to give them. I also don't know what evs to give to my Metagross. And I want to replace Hydreigon. It's mostly there just so I have a pokemon that knows fly. Is there something better than it that I can use? Oh, and I don't know what kind of items to give any of them. This would be the first game (Y) that I'll actually attempt to play competitive. So any suggestions would be appreciated!
     
    Items would be appreciated, but if you choose to use Mega Pokemon, use 1 only.

    Infernape can go mixed, you know. Poison Jab doesn't give it noteworthy coverage apart from Fairies, which are hit hard by Flare Blitz already. Speaking of Flare Blitz, it's stronger than Iron Fist-boosted Fire Punch:
    -Overheat/Fire Blast
    -Close Combat
    -Thunder Punch
    -U-turn/Mach Punch/Stone Edge
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt
    Ability: Iron Fist

    or
    -Flare Blitz
    -Close Combat
    -U-turn
    -Thunder Punch/Mach Punch
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band
    Ability: Iron Fist

    or
    -Fake Out
    -Stealth Rock
    -Overheat
    -Close Combat
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Focus Sash
    Ability: Blaze

    or
    -Fire Blast/Flare Blitz
    -Close Combat
    -U-turn
    -Hidden Power (Ice)/Stone Edge/Thunder Punch
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 36 Atk/220 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf
    Ability: Blaze

    Never use Fly competitively, as it's too easily played around. Hydreigon is also one of the best wall breakers out there:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Dark Pulse
    -Iron Tail/Superpower/Flash Cannon
    -Fire Blast/Roost
    Nature: Mild/Rash/Modest
    EVs: 40 HP/236 SAtk/232 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    or
    -Draco Meteor
    -Dark Pulse
    -Flash Cannon/Focus Blast
    -Fire Blast/Earth Power
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 24 HP/252 SAtk/232 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs

    Tyranitar should only use max Speed when it's using Dragon Dance or Choice Scarf. Without either of those, it should use a bulky spread:
    -Stone Edge/Rock Slide
    -Crunch
    -Pursuit
    -Stealth Rock/Fire Blast
    Nature: Careful/Sassy
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers/Assault Vest
    Ability: Sand Stream

    or
    -Stone Edge
    -Crunch
    -Pursuit
    -Earthquake/Ice Punch
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 180 HP/252 Atk/76 Spe (Adamant) or 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band (Adamant)/Choice Scarf (Jolly)
    Ability: Sand Stream

    or
    -Dragon Dance
    -Stone Edge
    -Crunch
    -Earthquake/Ice Punch
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Tyranitarite
    Ability: Sand Stream

    Metagross is best played as an Assault Vest user or bulky support:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Meteor Mash
    -Earthquake
    -Bullet Punch/Pursuit/Trick
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
    Item: Leftovers/Iron Ball
    Ability: Clear Body

    or
    -Meteor Mash
    -Earthquake
    -Bullet Punch
    -Zen Headbutt/Pursuit
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Clear Body

    Supereffective Iron Head does a little more than a neutral STAB Earthquake. To me, this isn't worth it, as Earthquake hits Fairies hard enough already; Garchomp has no need for Iron Head as a result:
    -Swords Dance
    -Outrage/Dragon Claw
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge/Fire Fang
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry/Yache Berry/Garchompite

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

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

    or
    -Draco Meteor
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Fire Blast
    Nature: Naughty
    EVs: 224 Atk/32 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Garchompite

    I'll assume that you have a hard time giving Gyarados its other two moves:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Earthquake
    -Bite/Stone Edge/Substitute
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spe
    Item: Gyaradosite
    Ability: Intimidate

    or
    -Substitute/Taunt
    -Dragon Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Bounce/Earthquake
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 120 HP/64 Atk/100 Def/224 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Intimidate

    or
    -Dragon Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge/Bounce
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

    or
    -Rest
    -Sleep Talk
    -Waterfall
    -Roar/Dragon Tail
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Intimidate

    If you want to replace Hydreigon, I'd suggest a Fighting-resistant Pokemon like your own Fairy Pokemon because of how vulnerable to Fighting this team is. Azumarill or Sylveon are good candidates:

    Azumarill:
    -Waterfall
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Superpower
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 212 HP/252 Atk/44 Spe
    Item: Choice Band
    Ability: Huge Power

    or
    -Belly Drum
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Waterfall/Superpower
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 92 HP/252 Atk/164 Spe
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Huge Power

    or
    -Aqua Jet
    -Play Rough
    -Power-Up Punch
    -Waterfall/Knock Off
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 16 HP/252 Atk/240 SDef
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Huge Power

    Sylveon:
    -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
