- Fire Punch
- Thunderbolt
- Power Gem
- Signal Beam

Thunderbolt is better than Thunder. Unless you're using Rain Dance, Thunder isn't worth the drop in accuracy. Fire Punch also covers more types than a second electric attack.

Pidgeot
Quiet Nature

- Roost/Quick Attack
- Return
- Aerial Ace
- Steel Wing/U-Turn

Fly is terrible in tournament battling like you are doing. Return is best with max happiness and Aerial Ace is better than Fly. Steel Wing hits Rocks, and U-Turn can do damage if you need to switch out. You could go with Quick Attack for a priority as well if you want. Keep in mind that this set is walled by Steel types.

Donphan
Serious Nature

- Earthquake
- Rock Slide/Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge/Stealth Rock
- Fire Fang/Thunder Fang

Stealth Rock is more useful than you think. It can turn 2HKOs into OHKOs after Stealth Rock damage. Which move you replace depends on if you like Rock Slide's accuracy or Stone Edge's power.

Lapras
Implish Nature

- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Psychic/Toxic/Thunder Wave

Lapras' nature isn't the best, but use the above moveset. You get excellent coverage with Thunderbolt + Ice Beam, and Surf. Use Psychic for an additional attack, or a status move to cripple enemies.

Hitmonlee
Lonely Nature

- Brick Break
- Blazing Kick
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge/Rock Slide

Brick Break can punch through Light Screen/Reflect if anyone uses those. Stone Edge or Rock Slide gets good coverage with Close Combat.

I'd go with Dragonite and use Tyson9182's set.

Ampharos
Modest / Bold Nature

- Thunderbolt
- Thunderwave
- Focus Blast
- Signal Beam

Thunderbolt for reliable STAB, Focus Blast for Ground-types and TWave for status.

Pidgeot
Quiet Nature

- Roost
- Mirror Move
- Air Slash
- Fly

Donphan
Serious Nature

- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Stone Edge
- Giga Impact

Lapras
Implish Nature

- Toxic

- Hydro Pump

Toxic for status and Sheer Cold has crappy accuracy.

Hitmonlee
Lonely Nature

- Mega Kick
- Blazing Kick
- Close Combat

There you go.
 
My favorite Donphan set is as follows:
Donphan @ Leftovers
Sturdy
Jolly
252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 Hp
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang
-Seed Bomb
-Ice Shard

This set hits all of its weaknesses and then some.

But why consider Pidgeot? Quite frankly, it's awful. It looks like you're going for a more mixed set (which I'm not good at), but since your team is lacking in support (2 Spec and 3 Phys either way), I'd recommend Bronzong.

Bronzong @ Light Clay
Levitate
Bold/Calm
56 Def, 252 Sp Def, 200 Hp
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Calm Mind
-Psychic

Light Screen and Reflect to boost your team's defenses. Calm Mind to raise your Sp Def even further and your Sp Attack for Psychic, so you're not totally helpless if you're Taunted.

Hope I helped!
