My ystal Team vs. My Emerald Team

I have recently been playing emerald version a lot, and I have gotten a really good team of level 100’s. I have been wondering whether this new team could beat my best Crystal team. I will give the Crystal Team the appropriate 3rd Generation mechanics for an easily comparable battle. Here is my Crystal team (All Level 100):
1. Typhlosion (Held Item: Charcoal; Max Speed and Sp. Attack. Ability: Blaze)
Flamethrower
Thunderpunch
Earthquake
Sunny Day

2. Lapras (Held Item: Nevermeltice; Max Sp. Attack and Physical Defense, Ability: Water Absorb)
Ice Beam
Surf
Confuse Ray
Body Slam

3. Electabuzz (Held Item: Magnet; Max Speed and Sp. Attack, Ability: Static)
Thunder
Thunderbolt
Cross Chop
Thunder Wave

4. Marowak (Held Item: Thick Club; Max Attack and Sp. Defense; Ability: Lightning Rod)
Bone Rush
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Swords Dance

5. Umbreon (Held Item: Blackglasses; Max Defense and Sp. Defense; Ability: Synchronize)
Faint Attack
Toxic
Confuse Ray
Psychic

6. Alakazam (Held Item: Twistedspoon; Max Sp. Attack and Defense; Ability: Inner Focus)
Psychic
Ice Punch
Recover
Shadow Ball

Now my Emerald Team (All Level 100s):
1. Swampert (Held Item: Nevermeltice; Max Sp. Defense and Attack; Ability: Torrent)
Earthquake
Surf
Ice Beam
Hydro Pump

2. Camerupt (Held Item: Charcoal; Max Attack and Sp. Attack, Ability: Magma Armor)
Eruption
Fire Blast
Earthquake
Rock Slide

3. Sableye (Held Item: Spell Tag; Max Sp. Attack and Defense; Ability: Keen Eye)
Shadow Ball
Detect
Protect
Toxic

4. Breloom (Held Item: Miracle Seed; Max Attack and Sp. Attack; Ability: Effect Spore)
Giga Drain
Spore
Sky Uppercut
Bullet Seed

5. Electrode (Held Item: Magnet; Max Speed and Sp. Attack; Ability: Soundproof)
Thunder
Thunderbolt
Hyper Beam
Rollout

6. Latios (Held Item: Quick Claw; Max Speed and Sp. Attack; Ability: Levitate)
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Dragon Claw
Fly

With my Crystal Team, I will lead with Electabuzz, and with my Emerald Team, I will lead with Electrode. There are no weather effects to start. Both teams have had Pokerus since around level 10 (except Latios in Emerald).

Which team wins this match and why?

Really? I know there's a typo in the title, but nothing yet?

The weak links are probably Elctabuzz and Camerupt. Because Alakazam doesn't have Magic Guard, Sabyle could sweep the whole team.

EDIT: If you use him right.

It's gen 3 mechanics, magic guard didn't exist then.

Oh yeah. Sorry I played Gen 1 and 2, and then came back in again in gen 5. So I'm not sure which abilities came in when.

It's cool, I only just restarted playing Pokémon in gen 6 from a break since gen 3. I'm still not sure what the hell I'm doing for half the time that I'm playing, and I have no clue which pokemon are good anymore.

you have a swampert AND a brellom? they're like the best of gen3. your crystal doesn't stand a chance.

I'd say your gen 3 team would definitely defeat your crystal like 9/10 times.

I have recently raised an Aerodactyl to level 100 on Crystal, and he has replaced my Alakazam. Here is his moveset, abilities and items:

Aerodactyl (level 100, Max Special Defense and Attack (with Speed set 2 points from the maximum), Ability: Pressure, Held Item: Leftovers)
Flamethrower
Fly
Rock Slide
Earthquake

Out of curiosity, if I had put this Aerodactyl in my Crystal team originally instead of Alakazam, would it have changed the outcome?
