Blitzle's awful. I tried to use one and it just refused to be good.
My ultimate team was Samurott, Sawk, Gothitelle, Zweilgous/Hydreigon (it hadn't evolved when I beat the Elite Four the first time), Lilligant, and Golurk (solely for flying). I wanted to replace Samurott, but I couldn't find anything better that learned surf.
I have to tell you, Sawk and Lilligant carried the team. Sawk is a great in-game sweeper that requires no set-up, and Lilligant is a great sweeper that requires some set-up. Unless your enemy is resistant to both grass and fighting, they can handle virtually anything, the rest of my team was almost just back-up for them. The only trainers who gave me trouble were Elesa and Alder, and the latter only because he has goddamn three bug types who are all level 75+.
People will tell you that Gothitelle is bad, they're probably right, but I liked its design too much to not use it.
