Is your username the same?

Malamar suffers from a 4x weakness to bug types and 2x to Fairy. In fact, Mega Gardevoir can guarantee a OHKO with Hyper Voice in all circumstances!

It just has some unfortunate weaknesses, because Ice is a horrible defensive typing. On the plus side, I know how to beat it. Actually, I have answers to a lot of your team. =]

Assuming Darkotas beats Voyd (which, considering the full sweep, might not happen), he tailored his team to specifically beat foo.

And yeah, I do like my Wishtectors. :3

Skarmory's an excellent physical wall, and if Ix wasn't using her gimmick, I'd recommend her put it in. Now, I don't tend to use it much, since I don't like playing in the higher tiers, but the following set is pretty much de rigeur. Or at least, so I am told.

Skarmory@Leftovers
Nature: Impish (+ Defence, - Special Attack)
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Defence / 252 Special Defence
Moveset:-
Roost
Roost is Skarmory's biggest niche - reliable recovery that slightly improves its defences in some ways by removing its Flying typing, which is kind of bad defensively. Steel does synergise well with it, though, which is nice for when it comes back just as your newly-switched-in opponent tries to unleash an Earth Power or something.
Taunt
People hate Taunt. People. HATE. Taunt. And it's brilliant on Skarmory. Skarm's role is hazard removal and kicking stuff in, whereas your lead is generally the one setting up traps for your opponent's Crippling Stealth Rock Weakness (take a drink!), so Taunt prevents people from setting it back up - and it also prevents the ubiquitous Defog from making an appearance, since nobody runs Rapid Spin any more.
Defog
Defog ties into the role as hazard removal, because it's your hazard removal. Duh. It allows you to get rid of entry hazards on your side of the field, which Skarmory's brilliant at since it's immune to almost all of them and only takes neutral damage from Stealth Rock. Which means your opponent has to stick all their hazards back up again, and leads tend to be a little bit on the fragile side.
Brave Bird
As you pointed out, Skarmory does have an okay Attack stat (though without EV investment it's not super great), so Brave Bird is there to aid your strengths. Skarmory tends to be on the receiving end of Taunt a lot, so I'm reliably informed, so it seems obvious to run it so that you don't just sit there like a lemon if you get stuck with it. Brave Bird's a recoil move, which means you'll lose health if you use it. If only you had an extremely useful guaranteed recovery move...

Hopefully that's informative. =]

Fairy, Poison, and Steel types all give me problems. I do have some ways to deal with them, though. *wink*

I want everyone to have a fighting chance in this competition. Since I'm basically crashing out in the first round because of Poor Life Decisions, I think it's important that everyone benefits from what knowledge I can impart from my travels in Showdown. They get a post. You, on the other hand, got one-to-one tuition. And since you're a hell of a lot better in a much shorter space of time than you were when you started, I think it's only fair that people get a little insight into your team, since yours is a gimmick that actually works.

Unlike mine, which is just "hey, look at all these rubbish Pokemon, let's see what happens when I throw them at other teams!" =]

I recently acquired an Absol in Alpha Sapphire. Adamant nature, Pressure (Super Luck would've been nice but whatevs). Her defences are really, really poor but I said "eh, she'll be the squad's physical glass cannon". She proved herself to be more than that. Even without Super Luck she's absurdly lucky in the crits department, hits like Thor's mighty hammer if it was wielded by the Hulk (hypothetically speaking; only Thor can pick up Mjölnir, blah blah blah), and always finds a way to escape from certain-KO situations thanks to a Pokémon Amie-boosted dodge. Permanent squad material right there.

Then I found this old exchange on 4chan. She's now the Mega squaddie.

Sorry it's a bit on the battered side, I'm afraid we had to pull it out of the bin...

Yes, I'll be making certificates for the actual winners, too; now that I've got the style sorted, it should be easy. There's room for seven Pokemon on the list, if the substitutes get used at any point.

Two notes about the sprites: I've used Derpy's Mega sprite, because non-Mega version only existed for one turn; that'll probably be a theme. And... is there a reason Venusaur is such a different colour in this sprite than the Showdown one?

Anyway: well done! You lost before Storme Hawk or Edhelistar got a chance to!

I'm fairly sure this'll become an annual thing, with sign-ups starting the first Friday in April.

I'm stuck in school for another four hours and won't be getting home until an hour after that.

So I think that is currently a five hour difference. So would some time between 18:00 and 19:00 GMT on 4/16 be a viable time?
