The only points I would like to make is that relying on Return as your main move can be worry-some due to the fact that it's never super effective. I understand the point though (high base power, Normal Gem to allow Acrobatic sweeping.)Yeah, I would have used a Flying gem if it was available, unfortunately not.
As for switching out Politoed (that's what it sounds like you are leaning towards) I would recommend still using a Specially Offensive+Specially Defensive-mon. Because the rest of your team is entirely physical and both have pretty 'meh' Sp.Def naturally.
The following could be a good replacement:
Slowbro
Ability: Regenerator
Item: Assault Vest
252HP/124Sp.Def/132Sp.Atk <- You can spec more in either stat if you feel it's necessary, but a balance in both would be nice.
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
Moveset: Scald/Ice Beam/Psychic/Flamethrower
Slowbro naturally already has huge physical bulk. Assault Vest only grants it massive special bulk too, especially when you invest in the Sp.Def stats a bit. He doesn't mind Assault Vest's secondary effect (no set-up moves allowed) because he has recovery in the form of Regenerator and can burn in the form of Scald. This Slowbro is not only an attacker, but a massive tank.
As for Megas, there aren't many that fill the Specially Offensive+Defensive niche. Maybe Gardevoir?
Sadly though, I feel like Gourgeist might be a hindrance. Personally I believe there are Pokemon that can do his job much better. But that's just me looking at him on paper, I haven't tried him myself. So maybe he is good.
Slowbro sounds excellent, that's a great idea. might try that out if I can. Gardevoir also sounds like a good Mega for my team.
