I just noticed that the Azelf I caught was modest so I decided i might add him to the team since it needs another person... What would be a good moveset/held item?

Azelf's naturally learned Psychic moves are lacking. Extrasensory is the only truely power Psychic attack it learns by itself. If you don't have any other Psychic Pokemon, teach it some TM's like TM 29 (Psychic), TM 30 (Shadow Ball) to give it a good advantage in that department.
If you want it to be more balanced, try some grass attacks for TM's. It can learn two good ones in TM 53(Energy Ball) or TM 86 (Grass Knot). Or maybe some Electric attacks, which it can learn quite a few of. TM 24 (Thunderbolt), TM 25 (Thunder), TM 34 (Shock Wave) and TM 57 (Charge Beam) are all good Electric type attacks to consider.
Azelf does learn some decent Normal-type moves on it's own... but they are severly ineffective for the most part. Explosion only works once, since you faint after it. Last Resort is a great attack... but only when the PP points of all of your other moves have completely run out. After that, there isn't much.
Try using some of the TM's I suggested. A good mix would be one Psychic type move, one Dark type move, one Grass or Electric type move, and Last Resort being the final move as a backup plan. That should cover most of the basics, and it gives you a great moveset to go with Azelf's good stats.

Modest Nature
-Psychic
-Flamethrower
-Thunderbolt
-Energy Ball
insanely fast and has excellent type coverage.
he has great offenses and equal defenses so he has what it takes to get in, attack, and get out.

Azelf@Focus Sash/Life Orb/ Expert Belt
Modest Nature
EVS:252 SP.ATT 252 SPEED 6 HP
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt/Energy Ball/ Grass Knot/Hidden Power Fighting/Shadow Ball
- Psychic
After one Nasty Plot this threatens to 3hko Blissey with Life Orb.
Also Explosion is only an option if it is Naive nature.
Just be careful, as Timid is the prefered nature for Azelf rather than Modest so it can outrun threats like Timid Gengar etc., but you cant do much about the nature now.
