After looking at the team I realize half or more aren't even the OU tier. I Have done pretty good with this team won some, lost some, but wondering what are some better moves, ev spreads, or pokemon that I can use. Anything would be appreciated.

You've got two defog users.

Personally, I would switch out defog and parting shot on silvally for better coverage. Thunderbolt, flamethrower, icebeam, and surf is pretty good, but you lose all your utility.  You could get rid of defog on togekiss, but its pretty reliable. If you do, switch it out for soft-boiled. Its the bulkiest pokemon on your team. The longer he stays alive, the better.
You could also change heat wave for flamethrower. It has the same chance for a burn, and higher accuracy. However, steel types will kill him. I suggest air slash and shadow ball.

You could choose to keep both, but I think its a waste of a moveslot.
Give togekiss softboiled.

tbh idk if your team is going to do very well; you only have 1 OU pokemon on your team, but starting from scratch is going to be to much of a hassle so I'll just not suggest getting rid of anyone. I think Togekiss doesn't really add much to your team, but you could change it to either ParaFlich Kiss, or ScarfFlinch Kiss. Scarf runs Air Slash, Trick, Shadow Ball, and Flamethrower, ParaFlinch runs Thunder Wave, Air Slash, Roost, Shadow Ball/Moonblast. Mixed Nidoking isn't the greatest idea; with the Sucker Punch nerf and Nidoking's terrible attack stat totaling up to a very weak priority Dark Move. Try going for Flamethrower or Thunderbolt (Some nice BoltBeam coverage). Dragon Claw over Outrage on Garchomp, because once you use Outrage you get trapped into it and then they can switch into a Fairy Type and now your in a bad situation. Other than that, I think your OK but you should definitly consider creating a new team from scratch, or at last getting rid of Silvally.
