Got a bit of a grinch mouth goin on here.
Something i'd suggest, before uploading fixes to Sketchfab, is exporting the model as an obj, then putting the .obj, the texture file, and the .mtl you should get from the export into a .zip folder, then uploading the .zip file with the .obj in it rather than the file format you're using. When people are inspecting your model, stationary lighting gets in the way of us seeing your textures and model.
It's a bit irritating, but it's a benefit to those who view and critique your models.
Now let's get to what's bugging me about the model itself.

So above is the model from pokemon x and y and on the bottom is a screencap of your model.
There are some differences in both the texture and the model that are keeping me from liking your model.
First is the shape of the head. While your model has an elongated sort of egg-on-it's-side shape to it, Mawile's head in x and y is more rounded, and plump, with the mouth being extruded a bit.
The hair...ribbon...things on the x and y model are more down and forward on the head, while the same geometry on your model is closer to the base of the appendage thing with the teeth, and are oriented in a different way.
Now for the eyes. I don't dislike the eyes much at all, and when/if you fix the shape of the head it's eyes should fix themselves a bit too. The other issue i have with the eyes is the location of it's irises. As it is, each eye is basically looking 45* in their respective directions. I'm not entirely sure how it's going to be oriented in-game, but it's going to either be looking forward, or backward. Likely forward for regular movement and backward for battle at some point in the future. For now i'd just move the irises toward the front of the eyes to make it look more like it's looking forward.
Now the arms. The arms, to me, are the biggest issue with the model. In x and y the arms on Mawile are much wider, but with the same thickness as yours, while yours maintain a much more uniform width.
Now the legs. Not a huge issue, i just don't like it's butt. It's far too pronounced. Also the leggings are more sloped in the x and y model.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is about as much as i've ever posted in a post.
As with all of my critiques, ever, they're suggestions, not mandatory. You don't need to listen to me, but i wouldn't post all of this if i didn't think it's exactly what the model needs.
