SS team

I haven't beaten the elite four yet (I've read the rules, but I just need this rated to see if it's good.) This is what I plan to have on my team:

Typhlosion
-Flamethrower
-Sunny Day
-Solar Beam
-Focus Blast (thanks jab2033!)

Starmie
-Surf
-Psychic
-Ice Beam
-Recover

Skarmory
-Fly (I like Fly because it wastes enemy PP and the HM is actually useful)
-Steel Wing
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash

Victreebel
-Leaf Blade
-Sleep Powder
-Leaf Storm
-Sludge Bomb

Tyranitar
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Claw

Electivire(Adamant) @Magnet
-Thunderpunch
-Icepunch
-Cross Chop
-Earthquake

I'm using the Electivire from PBR so only the moves can be changed, not nature, and I can't breed because I can't trade (no other friends have Gen IV).

What do you guys think? Should I change a move or two? Or maybe I should change some Pokemon?

EDIT:
Thanks guys, also I don't really feel like using Return since I like saving money. I purchase the bitter herbs that lower happiness and the herb that's like Max Revive is really useful. Is there a possible physical poison STAB for Victreebel? Or any other strong physical move to fill in for Return?

My comments will be in BOLD

Typhlosion
-Flamethrower
-Sunny Day
-Solar Beam
-Focus Blast

Go with Focus Blast. The type coverage is more worth it. Stay away from Blast Burn and similar moves that require a recharge. They're not worth it.

Starmie
-Surf
-Psychic/Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Recover

Try Thunderbolt over Psychic with Starmie. The BoltBeam combo provides excellent coverage with Surf, much more than Psychic does.

Skarmory
-Fly (I like Fly because it wastes enemy PP and the HM is actually useful)
-Steel Wing
-Swords Dance/Roost
-Night Slash

Not too bad for in-game here. Roost can be used as a secondary option if you find you need the recovery more than the Atk boosts.

Victreebel
-Leaf Blade
-Sleep Powder
-Swords Dance
-Return

You'll be much better off using a Swords Dance set here. Put the opponent to sleep, set up with Swords Dance, then proceed to sweep.

Tyranitar
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Claw

Fine.

Electivire(Adamant) @Magnet
-Thunderpunch
-Ice Punch
-Cross Chop
-Earthquake

Fine.

Hope I helped a little.

For Tyranitar I'd say:

Tyranitar
Jolly

Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Fire Punch

also, don't try thunderbolt>Psychic, just do so :) Psychic>recover if you think you need it

Starmie
Modest

Surf
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Psychic / Recover

Optional typhlosion:

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf
Modest / Hasty

Erupion
Flamethrower
Hidden Power [Grass] / Thunderpunch
Focus Blast

HEAD BUTT GO!
Victreebell @ Adamant/Jolly

Leaf blade
Leaf storm
Swords dance
Sleep powder


Basically instead of sludge bomb which is a special attack I think only leaf storm becuase I'm sure it lowers sp. att. Sleep powder allows you to set up and Jolly makes sure you get that little nudge in the right direction.Adamant and Sd on this will most likely sweep lance's team.
