First Ever RMT

This team is mostly made up of pokemon I like. I only mentioned five pokemon since I haven't thought of a sixth yet and I'm sure I have a huge glaring weakness I haven't noticed yet. I'm planning on having Scizor as my starter since I haven't noticed many with Fire attacks.

Scizor@Choice Band
Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
<Technician>
-Somersault
-Pursuit
-Double Attack
-Brick Break

Donphan@Leftovers
Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
<Sturdy>
-Earthquake
-Rapid Spin
-Ice Pebble/Stealth Rock/Knock Off/Rest/Roar
-Ice Pebble/Stealth Rock/Knock Off/Rest/Roar

Gyarados@Leftovers
Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
<Intimidate>
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Ice Fang
-Taunt

Electrivire@Expert Belt
Lonely (+Atk, -Def)
<Electric Engine>
-Earthquake
-Thunderbolt
-Cross Chop
-Ice Punch

Starmie@Adherence Glasses
Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
<Natural Cure>
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Psychic

Any suggestions are welcome but I'd prefer not to use Gaburaisu. Also, this is for Wifi and I don't expect to have access to Jirachi and the like.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Made some suggested changes.

6th Possible Pokemon

Togekiss@Leftovers
Calm (+SDef, -Atk)
<Serene Grace>
Thunder Wave
Air Slash
Pulse Bomb
Wish/Feather Rest
 
last spot should be a special wall such as blissey or crecelia.

you lack a good normal/flying resist and that could pose problems.

What he said.

Give Electivire Naughty and Thunderbolt over Thunderpunch. 20 Base Power makes alot of difference and will hit stuff like Skarm on the Special side.

Definitely use a Special wall in the Last slot. I don't care which. CMBliss would be fun and it would lessen your slight Gyarados weak.
 
Put Roar on Donphan as you lack a phazer. I'd put Knock Off in the last slot. As long as Starmie is alive the Land Shark won't be sweeping and Gyarados can take on EndRev Lucario, unless it's some wierd variation with Stone Edge over Crunch.

I prefer a Lonely nature on Electivire since he's not going to be surviving Earthquakes and he needs his special defense to take Surfs. Definitely use Thunderbolt though.

I'd say put Togekiss in the last slot (because I hate telling everyone to use Blissey). It's not in the same league as a special wall, but you've got good resistances to all it's weaknesses and it'll give you another Electric weaknesses for Electivire to switch into. Scizor will also benefit from paralysis support, as will Togekiss. Thunder Wave/Air Slash/Pulse Bomb or Grass Rope/Wish or Feather Rest.

Or just use Blissey or Crescelia, but Togekiss is far cooler.

No one's really talking about it much, but you may have a little trouble with Swampert, who may be expected to be the popular CB Tar switch-in even if it's not really a good one (but who is besides 336HP/548Def Protect Steelix?). I would expect even less people to use a physical, Stone Sdge variant (something like Curse/Snow Slide/Earthquake/Waterfall), but Swampert's of enough note to consider going with Grass Rope over Psychic on Starmie, since your Timid AG Surf only does 53-63% to Pert, who, if it's a real CB Tar/Metagross counter, will have Protect to scout Starmie.

I wouldn't change anything now, especially because Gyarados kind of bones a Swampert without Curse or Stone Edge, but if Swampert becomes popular it's something to keep in mind.
