Rate My Team (Leaf Green)

So I got back into playing some older Pokémon Games, and one of them I have never completed was Leaf Green. So I started a brand new game and now I'm back to the part where I originally got stuck at: The Elite Four.


Here is my current team and their levels. Please give me some feedback on what I should do to improve it and who I should put higher priority for battling the Elite Four.


Blastoise - Lv. 50
Hitmonchan - Lv. 50
Raichu - Lv 50
Pigeot - Lv. 46
Raticate - Lv. 46
Flareon - Lv. 50

What moves do you have on them?

Blastoise - Hydro Cannon, Blizzard, Bite, and Surf
Hitmonchan - Fire Punch, Counter, Sky Uppercut, and Ice Punch
Raichu - Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Strength, and Thunder
Pidgeot - Fly, Aerial Ace, Steel Wing, and Quick Attack
Raticate - Super Fang, Cut, Toxic, and Hyper Fang
Flareon - Fire Blast, Bite, Dig, and Fire Spin

Alright, Blastoise looks pretty good. Save the Blizzards for Lance.
Hitmonchan will do wonders on Bruno and the Champion's Rock types, as well as Lorelei's Jynx.
Raichu will be crucial against Lorelei, and Lance and the Champion's Gyarados.
Pidgeot looks good for Bruno
Blastoise and Flareon will have to deal with Agatha. Bite is all you have that will really do damage.
Raticate probably won't see any use. You might think about switching it out for maybe a psychic type?

Thanks for the input! :D I could swap out Raticate for Hypno, though I would have to raise it 20 full levels to get it on par with my team.

No Problem! :) Training could take a while. You'd probably be able to make it without Hypno, but you're gonna want your team to be around level 53-55, as Lorelei starts at level 51 with her lowest pokemon.

Yeah, I've been leveling my Pokémon 50 on One Island, then eventually I'm gonna train on Victory Road as the wild Pokémon there are levels 40-50.

Yea Victory Road is probably the best place in FRLG.

One thing I would recommend is to perhaps replace Blastoise's Bite with some other move. Unfortunately, it's not that strong of an attack, so it'll give you a little more hard time taking opponents down than needed.
