[OVERVIEW]
There is absolutely no reason to use Mega Gardevoir in OU. Aside from a stronger Fairy-type STAB move, a slightly better Speed tier, and access to some nifty utility moves like Will-O-Wisp and Healing Wish, Gardevoir is entirely outclassed by Tapu Lele, which can run an item, doesn't take up your Mega slot, and has stronger Psychic-type moves thanks to Psychic Terrain. It is also outclassed by Mega Alakazam, which is much faster and stronger and has access to recovery.
[SET]
name: Offensive
move 1: Will-O-Wisp / Healing Wish
move 2: Psyshock
move 3: Hyper Voice
move 4: Focus Blast
item: Gardevoirite
ability: Trace
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
The set aims to distinguish itself from the other, frankly better Psychic-types in the tier by virtue of some of the cool utility moves Mega Gardevoir has access to; for example, it can cripple some switch-ins like Celesteela and Magearna with Will-O-Wisp or fully heal a useful teammate with Healing Wish and let it switch in freely. However, there is still little to no reason to use it over Tapu Lele and Mega Alakazam.
