For team members and move advice, here are my recommendations:
-Jolteon
Jolteon is quite literally the best Electric-type in the game excluding legendaries, with a high crit rate and good special. While yes, it does require you to teach it Thunderbolt, you have other options to teach your Pokemon Electric-type moves. It also gets access to Pin-Missile and Double Kick, and while its attack isn't decent, this allows it to somewhat deal with Rock/Ground-types and Psychic-types that would wall it. Also, Double Team.
-Starmie
Starmie already has two great STABs, giving it Surf/Psychic allows it to hit any Pokemon, and it also has some decent survivability with Recover. Further giving Ice-Beam would give it great coverage.
-Dugtrio
Having access to great STAB moves by level-up while also freeing up some TMs is vital, something that Aerodactyl does not really have, and it also learns Rock-type coverage and a move that would get a crit 100% of the time (Slash).
-Dragonite
Dragonite is quite decent, getting access to Hyper Beam by level up, Fire Blast/Thunder/Blizzard by TMs, Fly for STAB and a valuable status move, Thunder Wave. It also heavily abuses Wrap due to it learning Agility, allowing it to sweep entire teams given you don't miss by Wrap spam. I'd recommend using Agility/Wrap, Hyper Beam and then one of the aforementioned elemental moves (probably Fire Blast as this team needs a Fire-type or Fire-type coverage).
-Snorlax
This thing isn't just a tank. Snorlax is a behemoth; having a massive attack stat and Amnesia to round out its less-than-stellar special, it can tank a lot of moves and dish out punishment in return. It also learns Body Slam/Hyper Beam by level-up, can use the EQ TM you'll save by using Dugtrio, and other factors. It also learns Blizzard, Solar Beam and other decent special moves to abuse with Amnesia.
-Replace Hitmonlee/Machoke. I'd recommend a decent Grass-type such as Venusaur., or use Primeape.
For Venusaur, it can easily abuse Toxic + Leech Seed, allowing both DoT's to exponentially grow and do massive damage. Venusaur also gets STAB Razor Leaf, which has an insanely high crit chance and will crit a majority of the time. The other move could be something like Mega Drain or Body Slam. Primeape is a better option due to it having high speed and attack, is a potential recipient of the EQ TM, gets access to Karate Chop (just like Slash/Razor Leaf, but weaker than Slash) and can use Thrash.
Hopefully that helps.
This helps a lot, it's the perfect answer i was looking for, thank you! Do you still think it's worth it to teach Jolteon thunder bolt or should i just stick with thunder? I like double kick but I'm a little confused with double team and agility. Which one is better? I know double team increases evade which makes a Pokemon miss. But agility seems to allow you to attack twice. Really hard to decide between the the two.
Snorlax is nice and I'll stick with him. I like your tip with Dugtrio and saving the earthquake TM for Snorlax.
Just one last question please! I kind of have a problem but i wanted your expert opinion. I'm doing a little project where I'm watching the Pokemon anime and playing Pokemon Yellow at the same time. I wanted to have the same 6 pokemon that Ash has in the anime to train but when i beat the Elite Four I will make a completely new team. The team we have been discussing so far. Is it worth it to to make a new team after the elite four even though I can only use TM's once? Will I regret this decision or should i just train the pokemon we talked about from the beginning of my playthough. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help.
-Cheers
