Emerald Team Rate

Found my emerald game the other day and decided to play through it. Now I'm at Victory Road with a fairly low-leveled team. What I'm looking for is TM's or strategies, and yeah I understand it's not well rounded with 3 water types.

1. Lv40 Gyarados- Bite, Dagon Rage, Waterfall, Hydro Pump.

Hate that gyarados has bad sp attack and has no good physicals until hyper beam.

2. Lv36 Starmie- Recover, Dive, Thunderbolt, Psychic.

Probably the hardest hitter I have despite the level, has had plenty of calciums too.

3. Lv 48 Electrode- Self Destruct, Swift, Light Screen, Spark

Considering TM Thunder with rain dance elsewhere in the team.

4. Lv45 Azumarill- Rain Dance, Rock Smash, Double Edge, Surf

Decent defense and hp.

5. Lv37 Swellow- Fly, Wing Attack, Double Team, Quick Attack

Will probably switch out for Golbat.

6. Blaziken- Sand Attack, Strength, Double Kick, Blaze Kick

Again, will probably trade out for another pokemon :/

Others:

1. Lv33 Lairon- Cut, iron Defense, Iron Tail, Headbutt

2. Lv37 Solrock- Fire Spin, Psywave, Cosmic Power, Rock Slide

3. Lv38 Delcatty- Faint Attack, Return, Flash, Attract

4. Lv40 Wailord- Surf, Water pulse, Mist, Rest

5. Lv40 Hariyama- Whirlwind, Knock Off, Smellingsalt, Belly Drum (Horrible move set)

6. Lv40 Golbat- Bite, Wing Attack, Confuse Ray, Air Cutter

Electrode is pretty good, you could give it Thunder Wave to cripple and/or Substitute to block status.

Get rid of Gyarados for Banette, Aggron or Armaldo; you need several strong physical attackers/special attackers.

Blaziken is good for a fighting type, with high att. and sky-uppercut/brick break. However, if you're looking for a fire type, go with Houndoom.

Azumarill is a good wall, but for frontier/end game battles, you could get a better one like Milotic, Swampert (If you can trade) or Ludicolo. Milotic and Ludicolo have means of healing itself, while with Swampert you should go with RestTalk (Sleep Talk + Rest; Ice Beam/Earthquake/Surf for last 2 attacks).

Swellow you don't have to replace either; STAB facade/return is pretty considerable, and you can teach it Steel Wing. If you do decide to swap it, then get a Salamence.

Starmie is good, but Alakazam is a better Sp. Sweeper than Starmie plus has higher speed. All you'll lose is water typing/strong surf, but with Alakazam you can learn the 3 elemental punches. If you don't have access to trading, then you shouldn't bother, unless you want to get a Kadabra, which hits a bit harder than Starmie but is slower, plus you lose STABbed surf.
