Lets see, pretty good. (You might want to raise their levels first…)
Hmm..I WOULD say replace the Lickitung, but it's like the mascot…
1. Teach Dragonair a 4th move…preferably a powerful one…
2. Get a Gyarados, teach it Surf, Thunder, Giga Drain (if you can), and Ice Beam.

Cool… But dragonair knows 4 moves. Did you mean Lickitung? I'll try the Gyardos, and thanks!

Oh, it looked like Dragonair had only three…yes on the Lickitung. I think it should be more than just a mascot.

It's because you get dragonair as a dragon type. The only dragon moves it learns are Twister and Dragon Rage. It can learn Surf which is 80pow/100acc and slam is a good physical attack against pokemon with low Defense.

Gyarados is a good Pok?mon, but your team needs a good special attacker, and Gyarados has a better physical attack stat. Something like Alakazam, Jolteon or Starmie might be better. Those Pok?mon are typically used as special sweepers in competitive play. And since in-game play is much easier than competitive play, using these Pok?mon should give you a big advantage. Also, Marowak is too good of a Pok?mon to be stuck with a wimpy move like Bone Club. Since you already have two other Ground moves on it, buy a Brick Break TM from the Celadon Dept. Store and replace Bone Club with Brick Break. Also, hunt around for some more Cubones and catch them, and try to find one with a Thick Club. Marowak can have an Attack stat higher than even Groudon's with that item. And if you haven't used your Toxic TM yet, teach that to Chansey. Replace Egg Bomb with it–Chansey's Attack stinks anyway.

Oh, and when you get to Victory Road (If you're not already there), you'll meet a Move Tutor that can teach Double-Edge to a Pok?mon. Replace Marowak's Bone Rush with it. Double-Edge + Rock Head = extreme power, and Bonemerang's better than Bone Rush anyway.

I don't have access to a Starmie, and the Gyardos didn't work out. I could delete Bone Rush, but not Club. Club is a high-PP move but, False Swipe, I will delete. I was wondering I caught a Zapdos(Lv50, Pressure), would that work? If not I could try Golduck, Starmie's Replacement for Fire, or I have a Lv33 Eevee I was planning to Evolve into Umbreon, but….

Well, from my experience, most Pok?mon don't need any moves with more than 15/20 PP if they have other attacking moves to back them up. Of course, False Swipe would be of no use in Trainer battles anyway, so you'd actually be better off keeping Bone Club instead if you don't need the utility move that badly. As for the 6th Pok?mon… you posted in another thread that you wanted the Mew available in the Toys 'R' Us giveaway as a 6th Pok?mon. That's probably a better choice, since its Special Attack and moveset pretty much PWNs anything else in FR/LG. Also, Zapdos might be good (I beat the Elite 4 with one in my team), but it can't learn any good attack moves besides Drill Peck and Electric moves. So it's powerful, but not very versatile. Keep that in mind.

You'll get the Articuno? (That's what Parasite was saying)
