REAL help needed with my Emerald team

The Benmeister

Master of Magnet
Okay, first of all don't laugh at me for having a pathetic team. I KNOW they're pathetic, that's why I need help.

My team only consists of four Pokemon. I know nothing of the stat balance of natures, and I have pretty much wasted all of my TM's in-game (yet suprisingly I have managed to obtain five silver symbols with just these four Pokemon). I need help with good movesets and items (and altered natures) to help my team be better for the Battle Frontier:

Camerupt lvl.70
Item: <Help needed with item>
Docile Nature
Moveset:
Strength (for lack of better move)
Rock Slide
Eruption
Earthquake

Metagross lvl.70
Item: <Help needed with item>
Lonely Nature
Moveset:
Explosion
Psychic
Meteor Mash
Sludge Bomb

Pelipper lvl.70
Item: <Help needed with item>
Timid Nature
Moveset:
Surf
Shock Wave (I have no idea why this is here)
Ice Beam
Fly (DEFINATELY wanting to replace)

Sceptile lvl.70
Item: <Help needed with item>
Hardy Nature
Moveset:
Facade (odd, I know)
Aerial Ace (only kept because without it I would never had defeated Wallace)
Thunderpunch
Leaf Blade

I'm not looking to replace Sceptile or Metagross, although if there are Pokemon that have similar movesets to Camerupt and Pelipper and are good replacements then suggest away. Breeding/nature suggestions are also welcome, but bare in mind about my TM problem.

Earthquake

Metagross lvl.70

Defenitely replace Pelipper. Try a Kingdra.

And also, you need something that can take some Special Attacks. Try Regice.

Yeah, one problem - currently I have no one to trade with so I can't get a Kingdra nor more than one of most moves. Any other suggestions regarding that major setback?

Which tm's have you wasted?
To get these natures and stuff, you need to breed new pokemon. If you don't want to do that, just change moves and items.

Another Water Pokemon you mean?
Lanturn is a nice choice, always!

When you said, Benmiester, that you don't want to replace Sceptile, does that mean you don't want to re-breed fer one?
