Natures give your Poke a 10% increase in one stat, while it decreases another stat by 10%. DO NOT DISCOUNT NATURES. You can use natures to your advantage to make your Poke better. Using a Poke with an incorrect nature can really hurt it. As for your team, suggestons/fixes in bold:

DO NOT replace Swampert with Starmie. Replace Blaziken instead. I would add a solid special sweeper like Alakazam, and a couple good defensive wall (i.e. Umbreon, Suicune, Blissey, Regice, or even Milotic).

How do you choose the nature you want your Pokemon to have?

You have to keep breeding or catching the same Pokémon until you get the correct one, so you have to be VERY patient because even if you get the nature you want, it may have terrible IVs. (It's so frustating)
 
To expound on what Shiny Umbreon said many times, there are a few things you can do to control the nature of the Poke you want. If it is a Legendary or a one-time Poke (i.e. Snorlax and Eevee), keep a spot open in your party and then save your game. Once saved, you catch it and then check its nature (and IVs if you are cool like me). If the nature, trait, gender, or IVs are not what you want, you reset and repeat until they are.

If you are trying to catch a wild Poke, the same concept applies, but the process takes a little longer. If you are fortunate enough to have an Emerald version though, EVERYTHING changes. Everything is done through breeding, and it has been made about 1259 times more efficient in Emerald. First off, the Daycare Center is west of Maulville, which is where you get the third badge in the game. In FRLG, you have to wait until you reach Four Island, which is MUCH later. Next, if you equip the female of the species with an Everstone (found in the Granite Cave, right after you beat the second badge), you have a 50% chance that the baby Poke will have the same nature as the mommy. Next, the longest route is directly in front of the DC (from Verdanturf to Route 118). It is roughly 250 steps for every full rotation. Next, having a Poke that has the Flame Body or Magma Armor Trait (i.e. Slugma, found first in the Fiery Path, also early in the game) in your party will cut the steps needed to hatch an egg in half, meaning instead of having to walk 10,240 steps to hatch a Beldum egg, it takes only 5,120 (or roughly 20 rotations instead of 41). Lastly, when an egg is produced as a result of the parents hot party action, three unique IVs are passed from the parents to the baby, 2 from one and 1 from the other. In the other versions, both parents could pass on the same IV, limiting it to 2 of 6 instead of 3.

So, as you can see, Emerald rules the free world.

Jolteon and Rhydon don't have their final movesets done yet, so if they look like crap, thats why.
 
Yeah, but it's not like I use them to battle anybody other than my girlfriend or the ingame trainers, so who cares?
 
Well, it is your team and you can have whatever Pokes and whatever movesets you want. I was only asking because you had asked in the M & S section about your Rhydon, so I assumed your movesets were not complete. Your team has a lot of potential, but as the saying goes - "It's mind over matter; if you don't mind, it don't matter". If you wanted anyone's opinion you would have asked for it. Hope it works out for you.
 
This my ruby team i restarted this a couple of days ago:
Mudkip Lv9
Wingull Lv9
 
Right now my team from Leafgreen+(hack can be found here)

Wartortle - lvl 21
Zubat - lvl 16

I will be catching a Houndour/Vulpix/Growlithe and the sixth spot will be rotated for whatever kind of Pokemon I need. I'm thinking Kadabra mostly but maybe Dragonite later on too.
 
I should preface this by saying that it might seem like an odd team, being that its only three pokemon. Its basically a fun team that I thought I'd make just for the hell of it that turned out to be really fun to play. Rest assured, its just a fun team. Made up of eeveelutions all bred from the original Eevee i got in Celadon city.
