I tried to create multiple cores with this team to create as much synergy as possible. Dragon-steel-fairy and fighting-dark-psychic are two of the main ones, but there are some lesser known synergies in here as well.

My kommo’o is the backbone of the team, setting up stealth rocks and also going for a z move sweep later in the game. Bisharp and gardevoir help complement kommo’o and help against its weaknesses, and both contribute to the team’s offense as well. I chose rotom-heat for a pivot and because it resists fairy types for kommo’o as well, which is something bisharp can’t do. Mantine checks fighting types for bisharp, and is also an amazing special wall that can defog for rotom, which switches in a lot. Nidoking is here to take electric attacks for mantine and to work as a special sweeper.

First, would like to point out that barring M-Garde, this team is entirely playable in UU. You could consider just moving it to that tier. But, if you want an OU team, here are the changes I'd make:
My first change would be to swap Garde out for M-Diancie. M-Garde is already a sub-par 'mon in OU. Its defenses can be very unreliable, its speed is poor, and it is overly reliant on Focus Blast. Diancie is a faster attacker that is generally more consistent than Gardevoir.
Second, I'd swap out Nidoking for a Scarf Lando-T, which will help with speed control, chip damage, and will serve as a pivot to better bring in your Kommo-O and other 'mons.
Third, and I'm more on-the-fence about this one, I'd consider swapping out Rotom-H for Band Victini. Victini basically comes in for free against most fairies and can fire off absurdly powerful V-creates. It also adds another U-turn to your team, which is always appreciated. Since you now have Lando, ground types should still be manageable even though you've lost the Levitate.
Again, these are all just suggestions. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to bring 'em up. I'm always happy to help.
 
Welcome to Smogon! I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least 3 lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
