ORAS OU Mega-Gardevoir Balance

Not open for further replies.
My first RMT so please forgive the lack of pictures >.<

My Team:
Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 24 Def / 232 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Focus Blast
- Psyshock
- Hyper Voice
- Calm Mind
Standard Gardevoir from Smogon. I really like this pokemon as well as a great wall breaker to open up opportunities for my other members to sweep

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
I realized Gardevoir's speed is not the best and I want a slow pivot to get in gardevoir safely. This also serves as bird spam check and steel type check.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Pursuit
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
Rocks are a must and I needed a counter to gengar. Even though it is weak to focus blast, I thought ttat could serve this purpose. Pursuit is a guranteed ohko whether it stays in or not so once I bait it in, I can remove it for gardevoir

Excadrill @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
- Iron Head
Seeing how I have ttar, I just slapped on driller as I needed a physical attacker and hazard remover. It also sweeps late game if I do decide to take that route.

Latias (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Roost
- Healing Wish
Now I had a huge fighting weakness due to the combination of drill+ttar. I was debating between lando-t and latias but chose latias instead for dracos and healing wish so I can play more agreesively without getting punished too harshly

Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Thunderbolt
- Flash Cannon
- Volt Switch
Finally, I saw gardevoir having a hard time against steals with only focus blast so I decided to add specs zone for trapping steels and killing them. Though I am quite weary with its item and spread (deciding between scarf vs specs)
All comments about my team is appreciated :D
