Don't use more than one damaging attack of the same type on one Pokemon. That means, if you have two offensive moves (like Water or Fire or Electric etc.), then choose only one of them and delete the other. The reason behind this is that each Pokemon needs to be versatile and handle types that they are weak against. If you put two or more attacks of the same type on one Pokemon, you are limiting their potential to beat other Pokemon.
Miranda the Raichu - Level 55 (Lonely)
Thunderbolt
Substitute
Thunder Wave/Encore
Focus Punch
Raichu is limited, so this is your best set in-game. Thunderbolt stuff and SubPunch Rock/Grounds that get in your way. You can use Thunder Wave and hope for paralysis to give you an extra shot at using Focus Punch. Or you can combine Encore with Substitute if you notice your enemy is using a status or non-damaging move. Keep them repeating their last move while you attack.
Gabrielle the Dragonite - Level 55 (Lax)
Aerial Ace
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
Thunder
Don't use moves that take more than two turns to complete. This includes Fly and Hyper Beam.
Dragon Dance (bred from Horsea) gives Dragonite great sweeping potential. Thunder hits Skarmory and bulky Waters.
Huttser the Arcanine - Level 54 (Rash)
Overheat
Extremespeed
Howl
Iron Tail
How are you going to handle Rock types?
Iron Tail is the only real attack that Arcanine can use against Rocks. Use Howl to boost your Attack to stand a better chance of KOing your opponents. Overheat is the best Fire move for Arcanine since it's both powerful and accurate. Also, keep in mind that two Overheats (210 power total) are stronger than two Flamethrowers (190 power total).
Fox the Vaporeon - Level 54 (Docile)
Surf
Ice Beam
Wish
Protect/Toxic
Wish is, in fact, Vaporeon's best move. Breed Eevee with a Togetic and you'll have an awesome recovery move that can heal the rest of your teammates as well. Using Protect ensures that Wish will heal you the next turn while using Toxic gives you a way to damage enemy Water types since your other attacks are ineffective. As long as they don't have Rest, they'll find it hard to survive long with the constant poison damage.
Corinthos the Venusaur (Adamant)
Synthesis
Sleep Powder
Leech Seed
Sludge bomb
Never use Solarbeam or Frenzy Plant on Venusaur. Venusaur is not an offensive Pokemon. It's not mean to kill opponents in one hit, it's meant to put opponents to Sleep, Leech Seed them to restore health, and basically cripple the opposing team. If you want an offensive Grass type, use Exeggutor. But don't turn Venusaur into a sweeper.
Teams like this that don't have a Snorlax can always use a Snorlax:
Snorlax @Leftovers
Careful Nature
-Body Slam/Return
-Rest
-Earthquake
-Curse
Block Special Attacks with your high Sp. Defense while Curse (bred from Slowpoke) boosts your lower Defense and powers up your physical moves. Earthquake for Steels/Rocks, but if you have Ghost troubles, you can use Shadow Ball. Still, Earthquake is more recommended since Steels and Rocks are more common opponents.

Miranda the Raichu - Level 55 (Lonely)
Thunderbolt
Body Slam
Mega Kick
Slam
basically all of those normal moves do the same thing. All you need is body slam
Gabrielle the Dragonite - Level 55 (Lax)
Hyper Beam
Fly
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Fly is very very bad, and hyper beam is worse. EQ is good to have, and dragon claw for stab
Huttser the Arcanine - Level 54 (Rash)
Fire Blast
Overheat
Strength
Extremespeed
only use one fire attack. Strengh has the same power as extreme speed but doersn't attack first (bad)
Fox the Vaporeon - Level 54 (Docile)
Surf
Hydro Pump
Blizzard
Acid Armor
Just surf or hydro pump. And not bilzzard, Ice beam.
Corinthos the Venusaur (Adamant)
Frenzy Plant
Solarbeam
Synthesis
Return
2 turn moves are no good. Since you have two sunny day based moves, add sunny day, kill return for sludge bomb (stab) and never use frenzy plant unless it's only in game.
Note: I still haven't decided on a sixth Pokemon. Suggestions would be great.
okay, as for a sixth I suggest a wall since you have none. Try foretress maybe.

When posting a team, please use the following format:
Poke @ Held Item
Trait:
EVs:
Nature (+, -)
- Move
- Move
- Move
- Move
This makes your team easier to read and easier to rate. Speaking of which, fixes in bold:
Miranda the Raichu - Level 55 (Lonely)
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Punch/Reversal
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
Having three attacks of the same type is bad strategy that only limits your Poke from being more effective. If you haven't noticed, Raichu's movepool is severely limited. The best you can do is either SubPunch or SubRev. Hasty Nature, please.
Gabrielle the Dragonite - Level 55 (Lax)
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Aerial Ace
- Dragon Dance
- Thunder/Ice Beam
- Earthquake
Poor, poor Dragonite. Never use crappy two-turn moves like Hyper Beam or Fly. Earthquake and Aerial Ace can do more damage attacking twice in two turns than Hyper Beam and Fly can attacking once in two turns. The best set would be DDnite. Dragon Dance is an Egg move remember. Thunder or Ice Beam depends on what you fear most. Lonely is preferred.
Huttser the Arcanine - Level 54 (Rash)
Rash Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Fire Blast
- Extremespeed
- Crunch
- Toxic/Body Slam/Substitute
Arcanine also suffers from BMS (Bad Movepool Syndrome). It would be much better if it could learn at least a few worthwhile moves. Add to the fact that it is a Fire-type and it spells trouble. Crunch is an egg move and the last slot is for whatever floats your boat. Its movepool is so limited that a Normal is suggested. BTW - Don't use any HM on your team that isn't called Surf. They are all crap and should all be put on a crappy Poke to be used as your HM slave. Tropius, Wailmer, Linoone, Meowth, and Gyarados are good options.
Fox the Vaporeon - Level 54 (Docile)
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Baton Pass
- Substitute/Ice Beam/Acid Armor
- Wish
Vaporeon is a great WishPasser. It can heal itself and your team. The third slot depends. If you want to use Sub on someone else, Ice Beam is always good and Acid Armor is great to BP to a teammate. Surf for STAB. ALWAYS Bold.
Corinthos the Venusaur (Adamant)
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) / Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb/Razor Leaf
- Synthesis
No two-turn moves. B-A-D. Venusaur is a great tank, with the proper moveset. Sleep, Seed, heal, hurt. The nature depends on the third slot.
Note: I still haven't decided on a sixth Pokemon. Suggestions would be great.
You have too many mixed sweepers. I would dump Raichu or Arcanine for a good physical sweeper like Heracross, Metagross, or even Tauros. The sixth should be able to tank physically.

You need to REALLY brush up on your knowledge. Raichu's, Dragonite's and Venusaur's movesets at the moment suck horribly. Who in thier right mind uses 3 normal types offensive moves on a Raichu and 2 2-turn offensive moves on a Dragonite?
If i'm wrong about you rating this persons original movesets than I apoligize in advance.

You have no reason to apologize then.
