After hearing many suggestions and rates, I made some arrangements to my previous team.
STAR: Bubblegum
Azumarill(F)@Quick Claw
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Return
-Rain Dance
Yep, good ol' Bubblegum has got a moveset makeover. You noticed that Mystic Water's out of the picture. Despite her pretty low Atk, Return can blow anyone out the water. If it worked on a Ledian I used, it can work on Bubblegum. Bubblegum has low speed, but Quick Claw solves the problem. Surf is for STAB, and Ice Beam's for Grasses.
TRUMP CARD: Fireball
Arcanine(M)@Leftovers
-Flamethrower
-ExtremeSpeed
-HP Dark
-Sunny Day
You're probably now wondering this: "WHAT HAPPENED TO ATTRACT AND DRAGONBREATH?! BRING THOSE BACK NOW OR I'LL RING YOUR SCRAWNY NECK, WOMAN!!!" I'd love to...but this Arcanine won't be female. Yep, Fireball (taking Charcoal's place) is male. He has Charcoal's trademark Flamethrower and Extreme Speed, but unlike Charcoal, he has Sunny Day to back Flamethrower up. As for HP Dark, it's the next best thing to Crunch.
DOOMSDAY: Sparky
Raichu(F)@Focus Band
-Thunderbolt
-Dizzy Punch
-Thunder Wave
-Charm
Ah, yes. Good ol' Sparky. No one has mad skillz like her. Thunder/Rain Dance is replaced with Thunderbolt. Dizzy Punch is still her trademark from the Odd Egg, along with another one that will have Ground-types shaking. ::slaps those who don't know:: I'm talking about Charm, nimrods!
COPY-AND-PASTER: Sonic
Espeon(M)@Blackglasses
-Psychic
-Bite
-Baton Pass
-Psych Up
Stardust (Butterfree) is going into retirement! We're all in panic! ::Sonic enters:: All right! My mad skillz are saved!
Meet Sonic, one heck of a Psychic pokemon. I heard about Espeon's speed, so I'll give him the name. Anyway, Psychic's the punishment for Fighters and Poision. For Ghost and Psychic trouble, Bite's my call. Psych Up's to swipe Stat improvements and when things get rough, Baton Pass away.
MASCOT: Jellyroll
Farfetch'd(M)@King's Rock
-Fly
-Cut
-Steel Wing
-Swords Dance
As you can see, nothing much changed on Jellyroll. He still has Fly and Cut for my convience (I could NEVER resist the temptation), but wait! He has Swords Dance and Steel Wing! What's with that, you ask? Swords Dance improves his attack. King's Rock for flinching. As for Steel Wing...well, those Rock and Water-free Ice types know THAT story. Heh heh...
SPOTLIGHT HOGGER: Daydream
Persian(F)@Amulet Coin
-Shadow Ball
-Pay Day
-Screech
-Attract
Kitty's female couterpart. Daydream is going to be trouble to take down...well, not really. I remembered that Persians are fast, so no more Icy Wind. Shadow Ball's for Ghosts. Pay Day's for everything else (and money hoggin'! Sorry, but like Fly and Cut on Jellyroll, I was completly tempted and couldn't resist). Screech is for Defense lowering to power up SB or PD. Attract's for males who wanna cause trouble.
There you have it! Let me know what you think!

Pokemon training isn't about power, fame, or popularity. It's about finding a Pokemon and being able to put up with it 10 minutes at a time.

Generally when people post teams, it's not a team that they are using in-game. Posted teams are usually ones that will be used to battle against other teams. But since that's your justification for some of the Pokes and moves you've used it changes how we can rate the team.
I do notice that your team is a little weak defensively. You might want to consider Reflect on Arcanine to help boost your teams defense a little. And you've run into the gender/attack power problem again with your Persian. I'd really recommend switching it back to the male.

After hearing many suggestions and rates, I decided to make some arrangements to my previous team.
Just to let you know, the movesets will change every now and then.
Now that's everything's been out of the way, check out my would-be team!
Azumarill@Quick Claw
-Surf
-Ice Punch
-Return
-Rain Dance
Yep, good ol' Bubblegum has got a moveset makeover. You noticed that Mystic Water's out of the picture. Despite her pretty low Atk, Return can blow anyone out the water. If it worked on a Ledian I used, it can work on Bubblegum. Bubblegum has low speed, but Quick Claw solves the problem. Surf is for STAB, and Ice Punch's for Grasses.
I'm just wondering if you have Crystal access - because if you do, Ice Beam would work well here.
Arcanine@Item currently in debate
-Flamethrower
-ExtremeSpeed
-Sunny Day
-Hidden Power (not confirmed)
I'd love to put back Attract and maybe Dragonbreath...but this Arcanine won't be female. Yep, Fireball (taking Charcoal's place) is male. He has Charcoal's trademark Flamethrower and Extreme Speed, but unlike Charcoal, he has Sunny Day to back Flamethrower up. Last move in the slot is still in debate, but Hidden Power sounds like a good choice. I pray that it'll be Grass.
I'd take Curse in the final slot with a Quick Claw.
Raichu@Pink Bow until I get to Celadon, Leftovers afterwards
-Thunderbolt
-Dizzy Punch
-Thunder Wave
-Charm
Ah, yes. Good ol' Sparky. No one has mad skillz like her. Thunder/Rain Dance is replaced with Thunderbolt. Dizzy Punch is still her trademark from the Odd Egg, along with another one that will have Ground-types shaking. ::slaps those who don't know:: I'm talking about Charm, nimrods!
Works for me.
Espeon@Blackglasses
-Psychic
-Bite
-Baton Pass
-Psych Up
Stardust (Butterfree) is going into retirement! We're all in panic! ::Sonic enters:: All right! My mad skillz are saved!
Meet Sonic, one heck of a Psychic pokemon. I heard about Espeon's speed, so I'll give him the name. Anyway, Psychic's the punishment for Fighters and Poision. For Ghost and Psychic trouble, Bite's my call. Psych Up's to swipe Stat improvements and when things get rough, Baton Pass away.
I might try this sometime... I just hope that Psych Up doesn't meet a Curselax.
Farfetch'd@King's Rock
-Fly
-Cut
-Steel Wing
-Agility
As you can see, nothing much changed on Jellyroll. He still has Fly and Cut for my convience (I could NEVER resist the temptation), but wait! He has Agility and Steel Wing! What's with that, you ask? Since Jellyroll's speed is a few points off of his attack, I thought to myself, "Why not try it?" King's Rock for flinching. As for Steel Wing...well, those Rock and Water-free Ice types know THAT story. Heh heh...
I'll be frank with you - Farfetch'd has a CRAPPY Attack. Swords Dance over one of them.
Persian@Amulet Coin
-Shadow Ball
-Pay Day
-Screech
-Attract
Kitty's female couterpart. Daydream is going to be trouble to take down...well, not really. I remembered that Persians are fast, so no more Icy Wind. Shadow Ball's for Ghosts. Pay Day's for everything else (and money hoggin'! Sorry, but like Fly ad Cut on Farfetch'd, I was completly tempted and couldn't resist). Screech is for Defense lowering. Attract's for males who wanna cause trouble.
I'd go with the male version, but keep Attract if you happen to meet a female Heal Beller. And if you're playing in a L100 battle, Return over Pay Day w/King's Rock.
There you have it! Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the rates.
BTW, I've recently made some slight changes to my team.
