Could you guys recommend different pokemon to use, if necessary, or ways to improve my moveset because I know they are far from perfect 👌🏼

I would say that Jumpluff is never really going to be very useful on an in-game team unfortunately, so would highly suggest replacing her! Perhaps a strong Ground-type like Golem could be useful for you as you seem to be lacking coverage against quite a few types? I would also suggest finding a Fighting-type to add to the team if there are any that you like as again this will provide you with some excellent coverage options.

One question - how come poor Arbok hasn't been given any Poison moves? :o I would definitely suggest adding some STAB onto him!

It might be worth going through and getting all the TMs you can find up to this point. I know for a fact that Earthquake is in Victory Road. It also might be worth removing the HM moves your team has since they aren't really much use. You can do that in Blackthorn City, the building to the left of the Pokemon Center if I recall correctly. You seems to be a bit underleveld which is a given because it's Johto, but doing a bit of grinding in Victory Road up to maybe 45 should help quite a bit as well. Might take a while, but it's definitely worth it imo. Sludge Bomb is a great move that can be taught to Arbok which you can find on the route north of Mahogany Town. This should be a start, but if you need more assistance, don't hesitate to ask!
