I rarely see people carry any damaging bug move outside of U-turn, and even then it's mostly on Genesect, which is easy as hell to predict.
>implying a 4x weakness is bad
See: Every bug/steel type ever.
And it's not even a commonly offensive type, it's fucking BUG of all things, where the only most used attack that I see is U-turn spammed by a scarfed Genesect.
Yeah, it's got fairy to worry about too, but I've rarely seen people using fairies honestly.

I don't even use this thing, personally I think the thing is kind of fugly, but holy shit does /vp/ have a hateboner for it

I like Malamar a LOT, but there's many reasons I stopped using it after breeding a shitload of pokemon

>Only 2 weaknesses, which sounds good, but 4x to bug can be problematic, especially with U-turn
>Also, tfw no resistances, which means it can't switch in safely on ANYTHING but psychic type moves
>Superpower's great on it, but that's the only move it has to take advantage of it
>Swagger fucks it
>Slow as fuck
>Nothing above 100

I feel bad that it's rotting in my box, but at least it's in the box of champions

I like to use

Adamant @ Leftovers
252 HP/ 100 Attack / 152 Def/ 6 Sp. Def
Infiltrator

Substitute
Topsy turvy
Night Slash
Super Power

It does well against bird and sword when set'' up. As for bug buzz, switch into a resist mon.

Infiltrator for Baton Pass or set up teams. Although this set is still crap I guess.

I need to check into more moves for mine (but I only use it for exploring Kalos not competitive):
>Hypnosis
>Psycho Cut
>Superpower
>Thunderbolt (used for facing Gyarados in the Elite Four)
I have an Aegislash on my team as well which has some more dark/psychic moves.

Doesn't get Poison Jab

TR Doubles
Malamar@LifeOrb, Contrary
144Hp/252Atk/112SpA
-Superpower
-Night Slash
-RockSlide/TopsyTurvy/Protect
-Flamethrower

>112 SpA Life Orb Malamar Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Scizor: 177-213 (100 - 120.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

You'll need 232 SpA to OHKO Mega Scizor on the switch though, but running LO hurts its survivability. 144 hp gives a LO number, and you can dump the rest into attack or bulk.

Damnit GF you could have at least made it a decent mixed attacker.
