The whole reason my Starmie is on my team is because I hated the following:

Garchomp (lol, Uber tier)
Infernape (lol, Blaziken is better)
and Gyrados (lol, intimidate)

I'm debating finding a pokemon to kill the following:

Gengar
Lucario

really annoying

he also has a heatproof bronzong that knows toxic, confusing attacks, and has extreme defense
basically, you can't hurt it, but it needles you
so annoying

Gengar is walled by other Ghost types (especially ones with a Psychic move), or anything with Protect.

Heatproof Bronzong will die to EQ. And it's far more common than say, Flamethrower. And despite that, A Wil O Wisp will still take it down. It's immune to Poison, but not Burn.

Blaziken is better in allmost everything except defence stats, but Infernape's speed is so much better, it's base stats are a bit higher than Blaziken's, and the difference is so minor, Infernape allways get the job done.

Oh, and maybe heat Rotom for the Gengar/Lucario problem?
Or maybe Xatu..

He's using water types only, genius.

If your Starmie outspeeds Gengar, a Psychic will take it down pretty hard. Failing that, getting a Swampert with Waterfall/EQ takes damage from little except Solarbeam/Grass Knot - can Waterfall Gengar through sheer force, and EQ will tear holes in Lucario.

They're common pokes used in competitive play; so it's a good idea to take counters for them when playing competitively yourself.

i would be a flying-type leader

Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Gliscor, Golbat
hell yes

Garchomp isn't taken into account anymore on the competitive scene thanks to him being dubbed Uber by Smogon's standards.

Nowadays the likes of Scizor, Metagross, Tranitar, and Blissey are the main threats you have to worry about when teambuilding.

Also lol who seriously uses Heatproof Bronzong?

Normal Type. Some of them suck, but for the most part, they're... normal.

-Blissey (Defense)
-Raticate (Attack)
-A Tauros (for good measure)
-Wigglytuff (Distraction)

Well, I only really know the Pokemon from Kanto and Jhoto.
Still thinking of a new name.

Blaziken

Blaziken is my least favorite digimon. He is ugly, and who thought a flaming chicken would make a good digimon anyway.

Blaziken is the best flaming cock out there.

Ok, Burn Rooster from X8 is better, but still!

Lucario is set up fodder for Gyarados assuming it is not running stone edge

I don't know how to help with Gengar since he gives me troubles to >:
