You can get the Thunder TM in Celadon Department Store (This is for FireRed or LeafGreen, right?) You're missing a strong grass-type and psychic type; depending what you want to do, you could use either type, but Alakazam is always great for the Elite Four, just try to make sure he has a variety of moves (he can learn some ghost type moves, which are always helpful).

Evolving Charmeleon would help, but if you are desperate not to, consider diversifying his moveset. He can learn Dig, Aerial Ace and Toxic, all of which would mean he could hit more pokémon than just 3 fire moves. Keep Dragon Claw and Flamethrower, lose the other two for something more diverse.

Marowak can learn a huge range of moves, so again diversify it; keep Earthquake but consider moves like Thief, Ice Beam and Flamethrower to surprise the opponent.

I hope that helps, and good luck! When in doubt, just spam Full Restores and try and play their weaknesses.

Personally thats stupid. Charizard is easily one of the best Pokemon in FireRed / LeafGreen. And he's not that bad as a Flying type.

Marowak
LVL: 58
Double edge, Bonemerang, Bone Club, Earthquake

I'm not that experienced with Marowaks, so this looks alright to me.

Dragonite
LVL: 58
Slam Fire Blast, Fly Thunderwave, Blizzard Ice Beam (i know i need ice beam >.<), Thunderbolt

Dragonite ftw.

Raichu Jolteon
LVL:58
Thunderbolt Rain Dance, Thunder (want to replace it with thunder but my dumass doesnt know how to get thunder), Substitute, ___

Go, go, go, Jolteon! Oh and use whatever for your fourth move.

Heracross
lvl 55
Horn attack Brick Break, super horn Mega Horn, Swords Dance, reversal
