That's an unnecessary amount of new moves, with less than half giving STAB. Cross Chop makes some sense, given Gallade's current design and its fighting typing. Phantom Force, Air Cutter, and Air Slash are pointless for Gallade to have. You might have some excuse for having them, but right now, I see no point. Gallade gets no STAB from those moves and its ability doesn't support it either.

New moves should make sense with the Mega Evolution. And just to further discourage the addition of those moves, look at Mega Blastoise. It received new Pulse and Aura moves to complement its new ability. It didn't get a bunch of random moves like Thunderbolt or Flamethrower, just to make it seem cool. The point of Mega Evolution isn't to make a Pokemon "cooler", but useful in its own way.
