Help me beat my friend's SoulSilver team?

Me and my friend decided to rerun SoulSilver and have a little tournament after. I know his team, which is: Tyranitar, Dragonite, Lapras, Bronzong, Machamp, Alakazam; but not the moves he has and I’m having a bit of a problem deciding the moves to give to my Pokemon in order to beat him. Can someone please help me with some adjustments to the moveset? Thanks.This is my team:

Dragonite @ dragon fangAbility: inner focus- outrage- dragon claw- fire blast- thunderbolt

Heracross @ black beltAbility: guts- mega horn- brick break- shadow claw- sword dance

Snorlax @ leftoversAbility: immunity- rest- crunch- giga impact- belly drum

Feraligatr @ mystic waterAbility: torrent- hydrocannon- waterfall- icefang- Earthquake

Anpharos @ magnetAbility: static- discharge- power gem- signal beam- thunderwave

Crobat @ sharp beakAbility: inner focus- fly- aerial ace- you turn- cross poison

Dragonite: Replace Outrage or Dragon Claw with Dragon Dance, try to replace Fire Blast with Fire Punch, and replace Thunderbolt with Earthquake. See if you can use Dragon Dance, but don’t use it against Lapras, Dragonite, or Tyranitar, as they may hit you with Super Effective Ice/Dragon/Rock moves.

Heracross: If you can, try to get a Flame Orb for it, as burning your Heracross intentionally will activate Guts, making it’s Attack stat skyrocket. You can get Flame Orb at the Battle Frontier for 16 BP.

Snorlax: Not bad, but Giga Impact is very risky and not worth it. Maybe replace with Body Slam if you can.

Feraligatr: Feraligatr should have a higher Attack stat than Special, meaning Hydro Cannon will be weaker, making the 1-turn recharge after much less valuable than it already is. Replace it with maybe Superpower?

Ampharos: Looks good!

Crobat: Replace Fly, as two turn moves aren’t good at all, with something like Steel Wing, to hit Tyranitar if it tries to switch into your Aerial Ace, that would normally make his Machamp wanna switch out.

So you could go about two ways either keep the same Pokemon or change itDragonite @ dragon fangAbility: inner focusIf you want to keep dragonite give it dragon dance for dragon claw since his team doesn’t has any steel types to resist and fairy types didnt existed back then so outrage is your best option. As for the confusion just make it hold a lum berry for that.Otherwise you could use a salamence which has better stats and give it the movesSelamence@lum berry(against alakazam, dragonite, machamp)Ability-intimidate-dragon dance-outrage(its a move tutor move by the way so you need to go to the battle frontier)-crunch-aerial aceFor heracross you need to get a flame orb as that would activate guts and then give it facadeHeracross@flame orbAbility-guts-facade-megahorn-close combat-substituteIf you can then replace crobat with houndoom as it would be useful against two mons of your opponent bronzong and alakazam while crobat is against only machampHoundoom@choice specsAbility-flash fire-fire blast-dark pulse-Will-o-wisp-anything you like sludge bomb or some kind of coverage moveReplace hydrocannon on feraligator asap since it’s a physical attacker and not special. Give it superpower insteadFor snorlax replace giga impact with return and maximize its happiness. And if you wanna use belly drum then rest technique then give it the chesto berry so that it wakes up and you have a powerful mon to attack otherwise keep something like a togekiss instead(if you decide to remove crobat only then consider this a s it will make your team a lot weak to ice, electric and rock) which has good movesetTogekiss@choice scarfAbility-serene grace-air slash(mostly just click this and your opponent would flinch most of the times)-aura sphere-extrasensory-ancient powerAmpharos is good but if you wanna replace it replace it with a jolteon which is powerful and fasterJolteon@magnetAbility-volt absorb-thunder wave-thunderbolt(thunder if you want to take some risc)-shadow ball-signal beam

Tyranitar is difficult to counter because it can use so many different moves, but these Pokemon will usually work.Ground Pokemon like Swampert and Hippowdon resist rock and hit back with a super effective earthquake.Fighting Pokemon like Machamp and Breloom resist both STABs, and their fighting attacks are quadruple effective.Scizor and Bronzong resist one of Tyranitar’s STABs and are not weak to earthquake, and their steel attacks are super effective.Skarmory, Blissey, Forretress, and Lucario are good counters when Tyranitar is choice locked to a weak move.source

Dragonite is another Pokemon that learns many moves and is not very predictable.Skarmory and Hippowdon can usually take a hit and then use roar or whirlwind.Scizor resists extreme speed, and its bullet punch hits before Dragonite’s other moves.Mamoswine can use ice shard, but it must watch out for extreme speed.source

Threats to Bronzong:Water Pokemon like Gyarados, Starmie, and Swampert resist gyro ball, and their water moves get STAB and are neutrally effective.Steel Pokemon like Skarmory, Scizor, and Lucario resist gyro ball and explosion and are immune to toxic.Slow Pokemon like Nidoqueen and Hippowdon take little damage from gyro ball and can use protect to stall against trick room and screens.source

Threats to Machamp:Gyarados can intimidate Machamp and resist dynamic punch.Forretress can usually tank dynamic punches, remove stealth rock for Gyarados, and set up its own stealth rock.source

Lapras and Alakazam are so easy to check that they aren’t ranked. A good team will usually unintentionally include good checks for these Pokemon.source

First, put Gyarados on your team. It is the best Pokemon that can check Machamp and counter another opponent, and its intimidate can help against Tyranitar and Dragonite. Use Hippowdon to check fire blast Tyranitar and defensive Dragonite and Scizor to check ice beam Tyranitar and offensive Dragonite. I recommend using Breloom just because Tyranitar is that difficult to check. Then you can add Clefable for support and Gengar for type coverage. These are the movesets I recommend. Make sure Hippowdon is first to set up stealth rock quickly. The order of the other Pokemon doesn’t matter.
