Please help me with my team!!!

I am participating in a random tournament with my friends. One of my friends made up stupid rules. He has only allowed the following pokemon. I reckon everyone else will have Shedinja, Smeargle and Wynaut on their teams. I wanna be different, but still win.

Caterpire
Metapod
Weedle
Kakuna
Pidgey
Rattata
Spearow
Zubat
Magikarp
Sentret
Spinarak
Pichu
Cleffa
Igglybuff
Togepi
Marill
Hoppip
Sunkern
Wooper
Slugma
Swinub
Smeargle
Tyrogue
Poocheyena
Zigzagoon
Wurmple
Silcoon
Cascoon
Lotad
Seedot
Ralts
Shedinja
Whismur
Makuhita
Azurill
Skitty
Feebas
Wynaut

Okay, this is my team at the moment.
Swinub
@Leftovers
Admant
252 HP/252 Special Attack/Rest defence
Ice beam
Toxic
Amnesia
Rest

Spearow
@Choice band
Jolly
252 Attack/252 Speed/Rest HP
Quick Attack
Drill peck
Return
Hidden Power Ground

Slugma
@leftovers
Flame body

200 Special defence/105 HP/105 Special attack
Yawn
Flamethrower
Light Screen
Protect

Lotad
@Leftovers
Swift Swim
Modest
Surf
Ice Beam
Giga Drain
Leech Seed

Spinarak
@leftovers
Swarm
Admant
252 HP/252 Attack/6 Defence
Sludge bomb
Signal beam
Spider web
Toxic

Makuhita
@leftovers
Guts
Careful
252 Special defence/208 HP/50 Attack
Knock off
Substitute
Focus punch
Rock Slide

Im using Spearow and Marill cos they have no clear counters and hopefully they will get rid of Smeargle quickly. Swinub because it is the only Ice type. Slugma for passing light screens to Swinub, for Yawn/protect and for Shedinja. Spinarak and Swinub are also for Toxic. Makuhita is for Knock off, Shedinja and for sub-punching.

Anyways, I do not think this is too great. Please help me.

Changes are in bold.A UU team here.No major weaknesses here.I would recommend u to evolve these pokemon to make them stronger.You can use Makuhita/Hariyama Cross Chop or Focus Punch to take out Smergle since its a normal type.

Thanks for posting. The thing is that, the list in my first post are the only Pokes allowed in the tourney, so I cannot evolve them. (One good thing is that there are no Rock, Steel or Dragon types.) I think I will change Earthquake to Ice beam coz I have a feeling that Spearow and Lotad are gonna be widely used.

I will stick to Light Screen on Slugma coz I wanna pass it onto Swinub and stall with Amnesias and Toxic.

I was gonna use Spinarak to trap the opponent, then baton pass to a counter (like Umbreon does), I dont wanna sacreifice its stab moves or Toxic (for Shedinja) for agility either.

On Makuhita, Ill change HP Chost to Rock slide, but I wanna keep Focus punch coz Im not a fan of Cross Chop.

No Problem.Oh...I didnt know that lol.

By the look of your team here.Makuhita is your Physical Sweeper not the fastest pokemon but from your list the best.Spinarak is your Baton Passer.Makr sure you throw Agility on there if u going to pass stats over Signal Beam most likely.You could use Ralts as a Special Sweeper and Lotad as a tank.I know your using Marill and Spearow for Smeregel counters but I think Makuhita can take out Smeregels.I would be worried about Wynaut if they use it correctly.He could be a pain to take out.

Ok here some others from that list that would be good for your team:

Ralts
Ability:Synchronize
Nature:Modest(+Sp.Atk -Atk)
~Psychic
~Calm Mind
~Thunderbolt
~Will-O-Wisp

Lotad@Leftovers
Ability:Swift Swim
Nature:Modest(+Sp.Atk -Atk)
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~Giga Drain
~Leech Seed
