Starmie with Hidden Power (Rock) and Power Gem - Articuno and Moltres counter?

Any thoughts on if a double rock Starmie would be effective? Worth powering up from level 26?

I'm not expecting it to be as good as Golem, but maybe a decent second option as opposed to Sudowoodo or something?

If it helps any, here is my current Articuno lineup...

3036 Tyranitar (bite, stone edge)
2578 Golem (rock throw, stone edge)
2337 Arcanine (fire fang, fire blast)
2253 Flareon (ember, fire blast)
2224 Jolteon (thunder shock, thunderbolt)
2064 Tyranitar (iron tail, stone edge)

Moltres would probably be...
3036 Tyranitar (bite, stone edge)
2578 Golem (rock throw, stone edge)
2085 Omastar (water gun, rock blast)
2574 Vaporeon (water gun, hydro pump)
2788 Vaporeon (water gun, aqua tail)
2756 Vaporeon (water gun, aqua tail)

My current Articuno is

3150 Tyranitar (Bite, StoneEdge)
3135 Tyranitar (Bite, StoneEdge)
2717 Golem (Rock Throw, StoneEdge)
2504 Golem (Rock Throw, StoneEdge)
2390 Golem (Rock Throw, StoneEdge)
2240 Golem (Rock Throw, StoneEdge)

Pretty much my group for Moltres and Zapados but I do have 2 lvl 20 Tyranitars at 93% IV with Bite and Stone edge idk if I want to power them up to 30 or not

Haha i almost use the same mons

Since you don't already have 6 double-rock users, I think it would be a good choice to take it to L30 at least. Rock is a very useful type for raids these days.

Starmie could be a decent addition, it is almost similar ATK stat with Golem, but subpar STA. However, it would be useful for Articuno especially as Golem is weak against Ice Type, Starmie resist Ice type. So it is still a decent pokemon albeit low HP. Other than Articuno, I would not recommend against Moltres. Just my 2cent.
