After some advices from some users, I have decided to modify my psychic team on showdown (that and the fact that Mega-Metagross has been banned from monotype server).

It goes as following:

 

Victini

Hasty nature     @ Choice Scarf

EVs: 180 ATT / 180 S.ATT / 148 SPE

-Blue Flare

-Bolt Strike

-Dazzling Gleam

-Psychic

 

Gallade

Jolly nature     @ Razor Claw

EVs: 4 HP / 252 ATT / 252 SPE

-Close Combat

-Psycho Cut

-Night Slash

-Leaf Blade

 

Malamar

Jolly nature     @ Choice Scarf

EVs: 88 ATT / 168 S.DEF / 252 SPE

-Superpower

-Psycho Cut

-Night Slash

-Rock Slide

 

Gardevoir

Timid nature     @ Fairium Z

EVs: 4 HP / 252 S.ATT / 252 SPE

-Energy Ball

-Focus Blast

-Psychic

-Moonblast

 

Alakazam

Timid nature     @ Alakazite

EVs: 4 HP / 252 S.ATT / 252 SPE

-Dazzling Gleam

-Energy Ball

-Focus Blast

-Psychic

 

Deoxys (defense form)

Calm nature     @ Leftovers

EVs: 4 HP / 252 DEF / 252 S.DEF

-Stealth Rock

-Recover

-Seismic Toss

-Toxik

 

So, if you have some good suggestions, don't hesitate to tell it; I'm open to any constructive critic.

I don't play competitive, but I think the EV spread on Deoxys-D is suboptimal. You should max out HP EVs instead of one of the Def/SpDef EVs, that way it should take both physical and special attacks better.

 

252+ Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Deoxys-Defense: 109-130 (45 - 53.7%)

252+ Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Deoxys-Defense: 129-153 (42.4 - 50.3%)

252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Deoxys-Defense: 170-204 (70.2 - 84.2%)

252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4+ SpD Deoxys-Defense: 204-240 (67.1 - 78.9%)

For Victini, wouldn't it be better to lean on one attacking stat rather than both? This will allow higher damage output.

 

For Gardevoir and Alakazam, they technically serve the same purpose. I think it's better to have supporting moves for either as it isn't necessary to basically have similar coverage.

 

For Deoxys Def, I also agree that you should simply place EVs on HP and another stat (either offense or defense)

 

Also, I noticed that it's quite possible to be wrecked by Mono Bug due to having only pokemon with a move against it and it's not even having 100 accuracy.
