DPPt/HGSS There Is Something Wrong With My Team

Status
Not open for further replies.
My team dies easily. They always fall down to rock and ground type Pokemon, and the move Trick Room.
I have a Charizard (Lvl. 84), an Infernape (Lvl. 86), a Raichu (Lvl. 100), a Floatzel (Lvl. 78), a Sceptile (Lvl. 78) and a Weavile (Lvl. 78.)
My Infernape and Raichu die easily after Earthquake. (My Raichu last about 2 Earthquakes then dies, 1 knocks out Infernape.) 1 rock slide kills my Charizard and 1 fighting move attack usually kills Weavile.
Anytime someone uses Trick Room, my Pokemon go last. And then, that's when my team fails. All of their speed is past 200. And since they have a bad Defense and Special Defense, I guess that's why I loose.
The only thing my Pokemon are good at are Pokemon Contests and in game battles. Over Wi-Fi they suck.

Plapti will be here soon with much better advice I'm sure...
You don't want

For Raichu...
Unless it is in a condition where Rain Dance will almost definitely be in effect...
get rid of Thunder... I'm not experienced enough with Raichu to know what to teach it instead, but because I don't think its physical attack is very high, you may want to replace the physical attacks too.

Infernape:
take Flamewheel or maybe Flare Blitz.. but get rid of Flamethrower and Blast Burn
For... Earthquake... Stone Edge maybe? I'm not sure if it can learn it...

Charizard... now that I get to it... You would probably only want one fire type on your team...

More help coming soon...

Thanks,
but I like my Raichu's moveset (kind of) 'cause it can sometimes knock out rock/ground type Pokemon (unless it dies befor then.) And I don't know what effect Rain Dance does to Thunder, but it's his most poweriful attack, and I am lucky with it. (It almost hits everytime I use it.)

With my Infernape, I kept Flame Wheel instead of Flare Blitz 'cause I don't want my Pokemon to get recoil damage. Blast Burn is the most powerful Fire type move on my team, and it knocks out Pokemon easily. (Then I have to recharge, but i'm okay with that.)

And for Charizard, I needed a Flying type and I didn't want to use my Staraptor anymore. Yeah, there are a lot of other Flying type, but Fire Type Pokemon are my second favorite, next to Electric. And if my Weavile has to fight a dragon Pokemon and it's ice type moves fails or it dies, I have my Charizards Dragon Pulse, to back me up.

So yeah, thanks anyways.

Rain Dance makes Thunder never miss. Not "100% accurate", as 100% in the game can still fail if your opponent has high evasiveness or if you have low accuracy. Never miss.

It is very much worth swapping out Thunderbolt for Rain Dance if you intend to use Raichu a lot. Although Rain Dance + Thunder takes two turns, the rain then stays in play for five turns. And having Thunder become never miss is worth a turn, as long as Raichu can't be KOed by random Earthquakes.
