My suggestion is to not use TMs on your traveling team. Once you defeat the Elite Four, plan a competitive team. Use the TMs on them. Also don't bother breeding on your traveling team. Their only mission is to clear the quest. Only breed to orchestrate competitive team. So only rely on moves that they learn naturally, and HMs. There are some TMs that you can obtain without diffuiculty: those you can use (eg. Return) IMO, Walrein is necessary in a traveling team, because it can nearly take out Glacia, Drake and Steven all by itself. Maybe you can replace it for Electrode. Nuzleaf isn't that great - doesn't have a great movepool. I'd go train Machoke.

Btw, Blazekin cannot learn Flamethrower, only Torchic can. Bulk Up should go somewhere and Return over Slash. Fire Blast over Blaze Kick (Lilycove Department)

Mightyena: Swagger over Thief IMO.

Blaziken learns Flamethrower through TM.
