It'll be great to hear what you decide to get in the end.

For those who are interested I'm up to the sixth gym after about a week of just running around getting wings off that bridge (free stat boosters ftw) and my party is looking like this:

Serperior: Slam, Coil, Leaf Blade and Mega Drain. Holding Miracle Seed.
Coil is a great move, raising Attack, Defense and accuracy which means that not only does slam miss less but it bulks up a quite frail pokemon and powers up Leaf Blade.

Lucario: Force Palm, Quick Attack, Rock Slide and Shadow Claw. Holding Wide Lens, i think that's the one that boosts accuracy.
Due to having a Nature that lowers it's Sp.Attack, Aura Sphere won't be much of a help. I got the Rock Slide TM from Mistralton Cave, which has better power and accuracy then Rock Tomb and will generally help with the next gym.

Magnezone: Thunder Wave, Thundershock, Flash Cannon and Tri-Attack. Holding Amulet Coin.
I made sure to teach magneton Tri-attack before It evolved as it will allow it to attack Electric types. Thunder Wave is a great move to help catch pokemon and slows down fast opponents as Magnezone isn't very fast. I have yet to find a stronger alternative to ThunderShocxk but it's high Sp.Attack covers that.

Vibrava: Fly, Dragon Breath, Rock Slide and Crunch. Holding a Hard Stone.
This guy is starting to fall behind a bit now that everyone else is at their final stage but it's dragon typing and immunity to electric is a bonus. I took Bulldoze away for Rock Slide as it will be far more use in the next gym.

Jellicent: Recover, Will-O-Wisp, Surf, Ominous Wind. Holding Leftovers.
The newest addition to my team, Jellicent is a great Special tank, having high Hp, Sp.Attack and Sp.Defense. By burning and lowering the opponents attack, will-o-wisp covers its lower defense and it's Water Absorb ability gives it an immunity to water and restores 25% of its Hp when hit by a water attack. Plus being part ghost gives it immunity to Normal and Fighting attacks. Leftovers further restores Hp between turns.

They're all level 40.
Not Bad. Hmmm, If You Are Going With A Physical Lucario, Your Moveset Should Look Like This In The End: Brick Break/Close Combat, Rock Slide/Stone Edge/Ice Punch, Shadow Claw/Crunch(Get A Male Pokémon That Knows Crunch With The Same Egg Group As A Lucario, And Mate It With A Female Lucario), Blaze Kick(If You Have A Male Blaziken With Blaze Kick, Mate It With A Female Lucario)/Extremespeed/Swords Dance, Or Any Combination That You Chose. One Of The More Popular Moveset Though Is This: Swords Dance, Extremespeed, Close Combat, Ice Punch/Crunch/Bullet Bunch. Now, My Lucario Is A Special Attacker, So It Has Calm Mind, Counter, Aura Sphere & Dark Pulse(Move Rememberer). Now, I Will Be Removing Counter For Dragon Pulse, So I Have Good Coverage. I Will Most Likely Get Psychic As Well Once I Get The TM, I Tend To Go With 4 Damaging Moves With My Lucario, Cause I Know He Can Get Defeated Quickly Depending On The Opponent. I Will Have To Search For Better Natured Pokémon Later For My Ultimate Team, But Right Now, This Is What I Have. For Your Magnezone, You Should Replace Thundershock With Electro Ball For Now. You Might Be Wondering, Why Should I Give It Electro Ball When It Is Slow? Well, You Already Described Something That Would Make This Move More Powerful. Start Off The Battle With Thunder Wave, This Will Paralyze The Foe. Paralysis Reduces The Affected Pokemon's Speed To 25% Of Its Former Number. So In This Retrospect, Electro Ball Will Do Considerably Significant Damage To The Opponent, Even With A Slow Magnezone. Which Is Definitely Better Than Thundershock By Itself. As Soon As You Get The TM Thunderbolt, You Should Give That To It Instead, But For Now, Electro Ball Should Be In Your Moveset Rather Then Thundershock. If You Missed Out On Electro Ball, Then Just Go To The Move Rememberer At The PWT In Driftveil.
