Pokemon Diamond Is this an Elite Four-worthy team?

I feel like a n00b, asking around, but since I've gotten through once and lost to Cynthia, I'm being much more precautious this time around when going against the Elite Four. Because I do NOT want to get back through and lose on her last Pokemon AGAIN, I'm asking the knowledge-filled Pokemon trainers of Yahoo. So, here goes (in order of HP):

Dialga, level 55, 184 HP and is holding a Razor Claw. Knows Dragon Pulse, Strength, Fire Blast, and Roar of Time.

Palkia, level 51, 156 HP (no item). Knows Spacial Rend, Surf, Dragon Claw, and Hyper Beam.

Uxie, level 50, 147 HP and is holding a Mind Plate. Knows Confusion, Yawn, Future Sight, and Hyper Beam. (Ability: Levitate, immune to Ground moves)

Azelf, level 51, 145 HP and holding a Shell Bell. Knows Confusion, Uproar, Future Sight, and Extrasensory (Also has Levitate).

Chimecho, level 51, 131 HP and holding an Amulet Coin. Knows Psychic, Yawn, Shadow Ball, and Last Resort (Also has Levitate).

Pachirisu, level 50, 127 HP and holding a Magnet. Knows Cut, Thunder, Last Resort, and Discharge.

I realize that I have an abundance of Psychic-type Pokemon, and that obviously needs changed. What else do you think I can do to edit my team? Pokemon suggestions, move suggestions, item suggestions... I'm all ears. (But if you're going to tell me to get an entirely different team, don't waste your breath.) Thank you!

(Also, if by any chance you're wanting to trade for one of these Pokemon AND it will benefit me, I'm willing to listen to your offer. Though I don't suspect anyone will. :P)

    Dialga seems okay, but my guess is that he's more of a special attacker, so you should ditch Strength and teach it the Flash Cannon TM that you got from Byron. If you didn't, I have Platinum so sorry. Give it a recovery item, like the Leftovers or Sitrs Berry.

    Palkia is getting there, but you need to train him up a couple of levels. Make him your strongest because Palkia has only one weakness: Dragon type moves. Hyper Beam is overrated. Ditch it for a strong physical move, like Earthquake or something along those lines. Give Palkia the Quick Claw.

    Uxie is fine, but you really should swap out Confusion for a different move.

    Same thing for Azelf, but teach it a non-Psychic type move because it already knows Extrasensory.

    In order to vary the team a tiny bit, I'm going to suggest that you switch out Chimeco entirely. I would

    go with someone from Victory Road, mabye a Rhydon that you could evolve. You can choose the moveset, but make sure that the Rhydon's ability is Rock Head so when it evolves it's ability becomes Solid Rock.

    My guess is that you have the Pachirisu because it knows Pickup. If it does, fine. Keep it. But if it doesn't, I would again, switch it out entirely. Get a Mantyke from Route 223 and evolve it because Mantine can learn good move like Bullet Seed, Signal Beam, Wing Attack, Bounce, and Aqua Ring. Give it the Sitrus Berry.

    Overall, train up some more and I think you're ready.

    Get a fast fire pokemon to fight Roserade and Lucario. Replace Azelf with it and give it a Quick Claw or something. Try teaching it overheat, or any other very strong fire type moves, they will most likely OHKO the two.

    cynthia's pokemon are in the 60s so train dialga to 60 to take care of Garchomp A fire typ will take care of lucario and roserade. Infernape or basically any fire starter would be good.
