well if you could explain the ev spreads that would be great but if you're still changing them that's fine, I would add some for of speed control to the team e.g. use icy wind over ice beam on milotic, usually amoongus isn't run offensively and you appear to have invested in attack? if you meant defence that would make more sense. I think you should test the team and see how it does then adjust as needed hope this helps :] (obviously this wasn't that helpful but i tried)

Oh whoops, didn't even realize the attack with Amoongus. Totally meant defense.

The HP lets it survive bisharp knock off, sucker punch, and iron head for at least one turn and kang sucker punch and facade (when it runs that) if i don't have amoonogus out. Can OHKO both with the low kick.

You might want to try playing with those hp Evs and mix them with def a bit you may get the same result as you mentioned above but get more value out of them by not investing 248 Evs just to survive those attacks.

But from my experience using bisharp going against a mega gallade, Gallade should be faster. After doing a quick lookup of both pokemon, a mega gallade jolly nature and 0 speed Evs will still outspeed a jolly 252 speed bisharp. So building to survive a knock off or an iron head should be a non issue since you should outspeed it no matter what. Now sucker punch is what you should fear though, but I still feel that building defensively just for 1 or 2 moves is a bit silly. This is just my opinion though.
