Then don't post your Team yet, the rules explicitly say "don't post your Team until you're at the E4".

Anyway, don't use HMs on the Pokemon you're using to battle, get HM Slaves.

Gyarados
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Stone Edge
~ Earthquake / Ice Fang

Machamp
~ Dynamic Punch
~ Payback
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk

Drifblim
~ Calm Mind
~ Shadow Ball
~ Thunderbolt
~ Baton Pass / HP Fighting

Not good with the rest.

Kricketune@Life Orb/Muscle Band
Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
Trait: Swarm

~Substitute
~Swords Dance
~X-Scissor
~Brick Break/Night Slash/Return

No matter what you go with for the third move, you're walled by something. Sub + Life Orb is usually not a good idea, but it helps you activate Swarm, which means your attacks might actually KO things!
