Hi, I am new to this community. I have some pokemon I'd like to use competitively but I want to know the best possible team. My old pvp team was incredibly weak to Ground, which got me swept by Earthquake.
Hello! I am new to playing Pokemon. I just bought a 2DS this Monday and bought the '98 Red version. I am eventually going to be fighting my girlfriend, who is respected among our mutual friends for being really good at the game. I have no idea what type of pokemon she may be fielding, but she knows that I'm probably going to be using a Charizard. So already, I'm at a disadvantage. Anyhow, here is my meager line up so far:
Aerodactyl -L32- Wing Attack, Agility, Razor Wind, HM taught Fly
Gyarados -L44- Hydro Pump, Body Slam, HM taught Surf, Thunderbolt
Charizard (my starter)-L45- Mega Punch, Skull Bash, Ember, Slash
Rhyhorn (brand new, plan to evolve ASAP) -L25- Horn Attack, Horn Drill, HM taught Strength
I'm not entirely sure what I should be using skill wise, as currently I'm only in my mid-40's Level wise on my highest pokemon. Also, as you can probably tell, I prefer doing a ton of damage upfront. I know my girlfriend will most likely be able to out stratagize me, so my plan is to try to dish out as much damage upfront as I can to hopefully throw her off-guard. Can anyone give me any suggestions, advice, and ideas? Thank you! (P.S. This is my first real post. So I apologize if this is not where I'm supposed to be posting this.. if that is the case, please shoot me a link to the proper thread and I'll gladly move.)
Ohh a gen 1 team.
While not bad, Charizard, Gyarados, and Aerodactly suffer against many of gen 1's threats.
You have a glaring weakness to Starmie, so you might want to consider a Chansey to sponge it's attacks or an Exeggutor, beware of Blizzards or Ice beams though. You could use Jolteon or Zapdos to KO it.
You can always refer to Smogon's RB strategy dex for move sets. Most stuff is pretty standard and you may have trouble acquiring a full team with these exact move sets due to the inability of reusing TMs, unless you abuse the missingno. glitch of course.
You can always slap on a Hyper Beam TM to everything, doesn't require recharging if it KOs. ;)
Thank you for the advice! That sight has been very helpful :) However, I am still in need of some advice. I have discovered one of her pokemon.. Mew. I'm 100% sure she has it and plans to use it. Personally, I don't plan to use the glitch to obtain Mew, and I've mad a pact with her that I wont use Mewtwo when I finish the game. So, in your personal opinion, what do you think my best course of action is here? None of the bug type pokemon are really good, but it appears that I have no real choice if I want to counter that kind of power. I was considering Articuno for the devasting Blizzard attack with the chance to freeze, but is there a better course of action?

I'm unsure how to round this team out. I was considering adding in Azumarill, thinking the fairy typing could help me out, but was turned off by there already being a water type on the team. I wasn't sure about adding a grass type, either. Maybe Venusaur or Meganium? I'm not sure.
