I've run this team on Pokemon Showdown for a while and it's helped me win SO many battles. It's pretty impressive that I've beaten so many Ubers team when mine is mostly OU (4 OU, 2 Ubers).

Not even close. Oh and please include abilities.
1. Offensive lugia isn't that good
2. Mega Gardevoir is completely outclassed in Ubers by Xerneas
3. Normal Gengar sucks in Ubers
4. Hex is a rather bad move, and Gengar has horrible bulk so it can't pull off that combo anyway
5. Don't run Forretress without Rapid Spin, that defeats the whole purpose of having it.
6. Genesect's nature sucks, Don't use modest when you have both U-turn and Extremespeed which are physical attacks
7. Volcarona is kinda outclassed in Ubers. It gets wrecked by half the tier. As in one/two-hit-koed-rekted
Most of the Pokemon on this team will get wrecked by any experienced Uber player. You have access to much more powerful Pokemon that play these roles better in Ubers, so take advantage  of them! I'm honestly not fit to rate this, because I don't really play Ubers competitively, but I still have a pretty fair knowledge of the tier and I've seen matches between very experienced players. So, I'll give you a few suggestions. Put Whirlwind on Lugia and go with just one STAB move instead of two-- phasing will come in handy. Make Gengar a mega and teach it Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, maybe Thunderbolt or Dazzling Gleam, and maybe Destiny Bond. Scrap Volcarona-- it won't have any time to set up before it gets wrecked. I would consider Deoxys-D over Forretress. Also scrap Gardevoir. As for the rest, you'll need an Ubers player to tell you.  This isn't much, but I hope it helps.
I agree with the other assessments, so I'll suggest replacements:
1. Lugia: should be stall-oriented
2. Volcarona -> Reshiram
3. Genesect: Nature = Mild or Hasty - losing defense is not as important in Ubers since most of the attackers are specially oriented so you only have to worry about Mewtwo X or Arceus, things you'll probably just U-Turn out of. Also: Bug Buzz and Extreme Speed -> Thunder and Ice Beam. Bug Buzz has poor coverage in ubers, only super-effective on Mewtwo, Mewtwo-Y and Darkrai. Extreme Speed is weak. Thunder will be the perfect revenge kill against Kyogre since you'll be faster, to weaken its Water Spout; and is also super-effective on Ho-Oh and opposing Lugia. Ice Beam for coverage against Rayquaza, Giratina and Groudon. Despite the poor coverage, you should keep Flash Cannon because Xerneas is everywhere.
4. Gardevoir -> Xerneas
5. Gengar -> Deoxys-A
6. Forretress -> Dialga, Deoxys-S (note: I'm assuming you just want to set hazards and not rapid spin, Dialga is the best in Ubers for simply Stealth Rock, with Deo-S if you want both Rocks and Spikes, tho you can't have Deo-A and Deo-S on the same team.)
tbh Kyoger is uncommon in Gen 6, and even if it's around very rarely is it an offensive Water Spout set.
So yeah, Thunder is too niche imo, the low accuracy and the fact Ho-oh is pretty specially bulky, same with Lugia kinda goes against using it.
Good points about Thunder, I can agree with that. I am already thinking Bug Buzz is better than that now.
After reading the comments I realize, my team says otherwise. If you've seen how many teams I've taken out, then you'll know what I'm talking about. I don't plan on using Will-O-Wisp too much with Gengar cause he's too be paired up with Toxic Spikes, offesnive Lugia is better than you think, your really right about Gardevoir, the reason I have U-Turn and Extremespeed on Genesect is because U-Turn is for an attack and a switch and E-speed is for taking people who are right there to fainting, Volcarona is good if you get at least one Quiver Dance in, and yeah.
"It's pretty impressive that I've beaten so many Ubers team " Is this a joke?
Half the lower ladder on Ubers are morons who use the tier as an excuse to use whatever they want and think they'll never use. The lower ladder can be beaten by literally anyone. I highly doubt that you actually have any decent comprehension on what makes a team good or not. Not trying to get you down, but don't shoot down suggestions from battlers with far more experience than you in the tier and actually know what they're talking about. You have no proof that it's taken down even a single team, anyway.
