Help choosing the last pokemon for my Emerald team

Alright, I have an Emerald team witch consists of:

Blaziken (mixed sweeper)
Starmie (special sweeper, boltbeamer)
Espion
Scizor (Physical sweeper)
Marowak

My problem is that I need a final pokemon for the team. I would prefer a tank, as I have plenty of sweepers, but please feel free to suggest anything. I will not use ubers, skarmory, or blissey.
 
Skarmory and Blissey are amazing. Don't be afraid to use them.

Generally, these sorts of Threads aren't allowed. But Swampert can make an excellent Tank with Curse/EQ/IB/RS.

I was wondering if Gengar was any good as a tank? And I generally try not to use already overused pokemon.

No Look at its HP and defenses and you'll see why.

Hm... a spiker wouldn't be a bad idea. The only problem with that is that scizor can't take a fire hit, and there aren't any spikers who can. A fast fire type could take out my team if I used one.

Right now I am thinking of using Steelix, Melotic, or Snorlax. Please post your opinions on the three, or suggest a different one.

I think you should use kingdra because of its good special defense and defense. it Also has only one type weakness(dragon). IT also has very good special attack and with some ev trainging it could kill

Ooh, not a bad idea. What would you (or anyone else) suggest his I EV train him in? (Please feel free to suggest other ideas too)

if you don't want to use legends or skarmbliss, you could go snorlax/claydol/donaphan/forretress/milotic/cradily

hmmm... you could always get a annoyer in your team....
umbreon
toxic
confuse ray
wish
protect

or blissey
toxic
softboiled
protect
heal bell/aromatherapy
 
the guy said no blissey. anyways, umbreon is grat for a tank. you might need a cleric so use miltank with shadow ball, body slam/ return, heal bell, milk drink

Umbreon is more of an annoyer than a tank; I'd like someone that can do damage as well as take it, and I would prefer someone with a better movepool than Magneton.

This might work better ingame
Ubereon @ Leftovers
Impish nature
-Curse
-Baton pass
-Moonlight/Wish
-Shadow Ball/Taunt

Lol...ingame umbreon sucks..leave it for competitive battles. I guess you could try passing curses around........

Yes, I agree. I'm thinking that Kingdra seems like the best choice so far. How about...

Kingdra@leftovers
Modest nature
surf
dragonbreath
ice beam
dragon dance

maybe I could even fit octozuka in there somewhere. The lowered accurusy would be helpful.

You can Use cradily too, with a little breeding, you can get recover on it. And amnesia.
so..

Cradily@Leftovers
Recover
Toxic
Amnesia
Rock Slide/EQ/Ancientpower ( if you want the boost, but I dont recommend it ingame for its low pp)

Kingdra@leftovers
Surf
Ice beam
Dragonbreat
dragon dance

why dragon dance with no physical moves..if you want sped go for rain dance/agility, or replace dbreath with return

Whoops... thanks for catching the dragon dance thing... How about substitute instead, then?
