Challenging E4 (Pokemon Black)

I have 3 slots in my party that I am unsure of. I need to choose between tranquill/tornadus for my flying type slot, Virizion/Simisage for my grass type slot, and Terrakion/Gigalith for my Rock type slot. My main concern is that for Virizion and Terrakion, they will get creamed by the Psychic type E4. My other Pokemon are Pignite (knows fire and fighting type moves), Seismitoad (knows water, ground, and fighting type moves, and Zebstrika (knows electric and fire type moves)

Movesets of Pokemon in question

Simisage: Cut, SolarBeam, Seed Bomb, Acrobatics
Virizion: Solarbeam, Toxic, Giga Drain, Sacred Sword

Tranquill: Air Slash, Air Cutter, Fly, Quick Attack
Tornadus: Focus Blast, Fly, Psychic, Aerial Ace

Gigalith: Bulldoze, Smack Down, Rock Blast, Strength
Terrakion: Bulldoze, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Sacred Sword


Please remember the purpose is to defeat the E4.
 
I suggest BEFORE you use Tranquill to evolve it into Unfeazant first. I'd suggest the same things as normal did otherwise.
 
You're going to have a rough time with no ice moves, I'd get those. And finish evolving your Pokemon too, unless it's for a challenge, no reason to go with a Pignite and not Emboar for example.

That is a GREAT point, now I'm suggesting to get a Vanillite and evolve it into Vanilluxe before the Elite 4.

I do agree that Ice types or moves will be good. But watch out for Marshall, because he is a fighting type trainer, and some of his pokemon know stone edge.
 
If you try and defeat the Elite 4 without at least 1 good dark-type move, you're gonna have a bad time. Believe me, having at least one dark attack can totally screw over 2 members of the Elite 4, especially if you use something with great offensive stats such as Zoroark. I prefer using Special Attacks, to prevent encounters with Chandelure's potential Flame Body and Sharpedo's rough skin.
