Orbeetle (Lead) @ Focus Sash
Nature: Modest
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe
-Sticky Web
-Bug Buzz
-Psyshock
-Giga Drain

So the idea behind this is that I lead with it, and use Sticky Web. Then everyone expects me to start using Light Screen and Reflect, right? Nope, this is a FULL ON ATTACKER. It's pretty fast and decently powerful. Swarm boosted Bug Buzz (after using Focus Sash) is awesome. (If you couldn't tell, Orbeetle is my favorite Pokémon on the team.)

Malamar @ Assault Vest
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 124 HP/252 At/12 Def/120 SpD
-Superpower
-Knock Off
-Liquidation
-Rock Slide

Malamar is pretty slow, so I decided to make it bulky. There's an Assault Vest and more EVs in SpD because Malamar gets the defense boost from Superpower. The rest of the moves are coverage. I didn't add Psychic STAB because there were other types I needed to cover with Liquidation/Rock Slide.

Mew @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/96 Def/32 SpA/128 SpD
-Calm Mind
-Iron Defense
-Stored Power
-Dazzling Gleam

I put this Mew on the Mew Moveset thread. It's a Stored Power sweeper, pretty simple. Dazzling Gleam is for Dark types.

Rapidash-Galar @ Iapapa Berry
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Pastel Veil
EVs: 252 At/4 SpD/252 Spe
-Swords Dance
-High Horsepower
-Zen Headbutt
-Play Rough

Again, pretty simple. Has a Iapapa Berry instead of Morning Sun, in exchange for some more coverage in High Horsepower.

Slowbro @ Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def/28 SpA/128 SpD
-Scald
-Calm Mind
-Slack Off
-Thunder Wave/Psychic

Not sure on it's last move. But other than that, it's a mixed wall.

Alakazam @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe
-Nasty Plot
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball/Dazzling Gleam

Still deciding on it's last move too, but leaning towards Dazzling Gleam. Standard Alakazam.

Thank you for reading all this, any feedback would be appreciated.

Normally you have screens on your suicide lead because it's gonna die, and you have it support your team, rather than making a small dent. I also think you meant a iapapa berry. Psyshock for slowbro. Consider sash on alakazam, can prevent you from being swept and lets you get a nasty plot setup. Jolly for rapidash-speed is key. Orbeetle has good speed(somehow. It's a spaceship bug. We'll maybe it does make sense idk) so do timid, especially if you decide to use screens. Even if you don't, surviving on sash then being outsped isn't going to help.
You should look at movepool. Know what malamars bets physical psychic type move is? Psycho cut, a 70 base power move, eith only a high crit ratio. Sometimes, you don't even use both STABS. Liquidation, again look at its movepool. I questioned this too, but it doesn't really learn many other physical moves. You could say "replace it with psycho cut, stab kinda makes it better", wrong again. It's a mono psychic team,psychic type moves are everywhere. Finally, stored power mew may be a bit tricky to explain, as stored power is a tricky move. A calm mind and iron defense or 2 iron defenses or 2 calm minds gives it 100 base power. Yes, it takes a bit of setup, but that's what stored power sweepers are. And so, you may be saying well change its moveset, but if you do, it's outclassed by other pokemon, unless your  using a physical set.
