Avoid type overlap. It restricts your versatility.

Zapdos:
Substitute
Thunder Thunderbolt
Shock Wave Thunder Wave
Drill Peck

The 'overpowered' moves, like Thunder, are less accurate and deal less damage in the long run.

Mewtwo:
Swift Thunderbolt
Recover
Earthquake Ice Beam (you wasted the TM! ;_; )
Psychic

Pay close attention to your Pokémon's stats before you assign moves. Special moves work much more effectively on Mewtwo than Physical moves.

Golem:
Sesmic Toss Rock Blast/Rock Slide
Explosion
Dobule-Edge
Earthquake

Articuno:
Powder Snow Aerial Ace
Blizzard Mind Reader
Sheer Cold
Ice Beam

Mind Reader makes Sheer Cold a sure hit. Aerial Ace gains STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) here, a *1.5 damage multiplier, despite being physical.

Charizard:
Fire Blast Wing Attack/Aerial Ace
Blast Burn Dragon Dance/Swords Dance/Steel Wing
Flamethrower
Heat Wave Earthquake/Return/Rock Slide

*dies*
4X OL!! Why?
If your friend effort trains and you do not, that would mean a noticeable difference in the most useful stats of his Pokémon. If you haven't, you should learn about effort values.

Steel Wing on Pidgeot?

If your opponent has any Subrevvers use Quick Attack over Steel Wing >_>

Mario's Zap set looks alright, since you cant replace Sub with HP Ice or HP Grass.

My Mewtwo has Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Psychic/Recover, but my mate has Flamethrower over Ice Beam, you could try that, or even try Calm Mind/Recover/Psychic or Ice Beam/Thunderbolt.

For Golem, as Mario suggested, Rock Blast or Rock Slide over Seismic Toss, but make sure it's Rock BLAST if you know they use fragile Subbers, and Rock SLIDE if they don't.

Articunos set is best as Ice Beam/Sheer Cold/Mind Reader/Aerial Ace.. I prefer HP Electric on NB, but yours is a GBA team so.. Aerial Ace will have to do.

For Charizard, I like using Dragon Dance/Earthquake/Aerial Ace (You might have to use Return)/Overheat.

You could try making him a Subpuncher (Substitute/Focus Punch/Flamethrower/Earthquake or Rock Slide or Return).

I was trying to keep to what she might be able to implement without involving long breed chains/restarting the game. Pidgeot's movepool is also rather small, meaning the inaccurate Steel Wing will have to do.

At least Steel Wing may catch the odd rock type by surprise, especially if its weak already and your down on the pokemon you can use.

Mario, it can get Quick Attack back by going to the dude who gives your moves back to you.

Pidgeot's Steel Wing won't be suprising anyone - It's Attack is not high enough, and most Rock types have good defense, so it'll get Rock Blasted away, or Rock Slided.

Come to think of it, he can't really do anything to a Rock pokemon, should he encounter one, without using Steel Wing.

If you choose QA dude, I suggest you replace Golem with Swampert.

Actually teh Pidgeot is meant to be more defensive than say Fearow. It can take a hit ok. Thats why its attack isnt as high as youd expect.

Also, your team has a 3x weakness to Electric.

I say just get rid of Pidgeot altogether.

I meant the Earthquake TM on Mewtwo. You only get one of those per game, ya know! (Ice Beam can be purchased at the Game Corner.)
If the Pidgeot you're using's the one you caught on Route 1, all the more reason to dump it. (sadly) This is because its effort values will be maxed, but random. You could re-train a much better one. This point is moot if you're not going to effort train, anyway.
