6th Gen Alpha Sapphire team building

I just started the game. I have two Dustox, a Torchic (unevolved) and Poochyena. I also have Wurmple, and a Machop. (I got the Machop in a wonder trade.) I just want to know what move pools I could give them.

Like when they evolve. I thought I didn't have to wait til they were evolved to plan a team. I caught them at low levels. Because they end up with better stats than the higher leveled ones. Should I replace any of my pokemon. I thought it'd be cool to have a Machamp, 2 Dustox, Blaziken, and Mightyena. (I don't know if Wurmple will turn into Beautifly or Dustox.) Is this a good team or am I wasting my time?
 
If you find someone willing to play with fan rules tiers you will have no problem with this team although blaziken will need to be replaced because its so much better raising the tier you would need to play in then the other pokemon on your team. If you are going to go random battles you are always wasting your time unless you have a mewtwo, primal groudon, primal kyorge, and mega rayquazza with other over powered pokemon because that is what you will be fighting basicly every match.

As for your pokemon specifically dustox is the worst of the moth/butterfly pokemon but can be used if you can manage to get a few quiver dances up a must move for these pokemon. Mightyena isn't really that good only being usable as a tank really and even that he isn't that good at. Machamp is a very good pokemon but you cant get it unless you trade for it so you will be stuck at a machoke. Blaziken is one of the best pokemon with speed boost ability and still a very good pokemon without it.

You can plan a team out with pokemon showdown calculator to see the damage you take and the damage you do, it also shows you popular move sets for the pokemon.
