I ended up beating it. All I did was protect the candies until the first set of tentacool came along. I weakened and let them take the candy down to the lower left, killed them off, and protected them from there. When the machop come in, I try to defend it as well as possible, switching sides when necessary, after all the bottom pokemon are gone, I move everyone up top and kill them off. I used two Alakazams w/ psychic, a Venasaur w/ petal dance, a Blastoise w/ water pulse, and either two golems with rock blast and bulldoze or a golem and an onix (golem same moves, onix w/ rock tomb) I'm one of the ten to beat it (at least I think.  Beat it at around 8:20 Eastern.  By then, Sam only had three according to the blog.  I sent my email account to him not too long after).
