Quick Attack
Flamethrower
Double Kick
Bulk-Up

Well, that's all it can really do for the moment, so make sure to get it Sky Uppercut over Double Kick and Rock Slide over Quick Attack later on

Skarmory(lvl 29)

Air Cutter
Spikes / Steel Wing
Roar
Rest / Toxic


Spikes and Rest are for competitive use. Toxic and Steel Wing have more in-game uses. Aerial Ace or Drill Peck would be better over air cutter IMO.

Wobbuffet(lvl 27)

Counter
Mirror Coat
Encore
Destiny Bind

.......

Raichu(lvl 27)

Quick Attack /Thunder Wave
Substitute
Focus Punch
Thunderbolt

Don't Break out the TM and Move tutors yet, butthis is how in-game Raichu should look

Phanpy(lvl 29)

Dig
Defense Curl
Flail
Take Down

Earthquake, Rock Slide, Roar/Rest, Rapid Spin when you get done training

Huntail(lvl 27)

Rain Dance
Surf
Ice Beam
Crunch

Shoulda used the DeepSeaScale instead of the DeepSeaTooth IMO

not that good but i just started a little earlier today,well rate it and tell me how I can fix it

Not the best thing out there but it's a start. your main problem is that 3 of your pokemon, whether due to typing or just because, don't survive too long against the best of pokemon, and those 3 would be Raichu, Huntail, andyou future Blaziken. But that's just my analysis because personally I think Huntail and Blaziken suck, and Raichu is a non-Zapdos/Lanturn. electric type

Wtf. This team should be a lot cooler than the other one you posted, especially since Swampert screws half the other team.

We can’t rate it right now since you’re still raising your Pokemon. We can only give you a finalized team for you to aim for.

Also, a note about your last two Pokemon:

You don’t need both Skarmory and Donphan on the same team since they both serve the same role as physical walls. Skarmory works better as it has resistances to Normal and Ground moves. Donphan can Rapid Spin, but you won’t find much use for that in game so I recommend dropping Donphan for a special wall (Regice is the only special wall in Sapphire).

Huntail just sucks overall. You have other options for better water types like Ludicolo, Milotic, Starmie, even the underrated Tentacruel. And I assume you have access to other games since you must trade to get a Huntail. Well, if you have FireRed/LeafGreen, you have access to Lapras, Vaporeon, Slowbro, Blastoise, Suicune, among others.

Breeding or a move tutor is needed for Blaziken's last move. Please say you have access to Emerald or something. Anyways, the rest of the moves are self-explanatory. Fire Blast and Sky Uppercut for STAB and Bulk Up to boost your Attack.


Skarmory
Aerial Ace/Drill Peck
Spikes
Roar
Rest

Drill Peck works best. You need to breed for it though, but that's not too hard. The other moves are standard and fulfill Skarm's role as a physical wall.


Wobbuffet(lvl 27)
Counter
Mirror Coat
Safeguard
Encore

Wobbuffet is also iffy as its place on your team. It's quite effective and annoying as a Pokemon, but there are lots of opponents that it can't handle (namely, Ghosts with physical moves and Darks with special moves, both which show up in the Elite 4). I'll suggest replacing this one too with a Psychic type that can actually attack (Alakazam or Gardevoir, Claydol works too)


Raichu
Thunderbolt
Focus Punch
Thunder Wave
Substitute/Encore

Raichu is another Pokemon that works best if you have access to Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen for the Substitute move tutor. Otherwise, give it Encore so that Focus Punch has a chance of hitting if the opponent doesn't damage you.


Phanpy(lvl 29)

Dig
Defense Curl
Flail
Take Down

Huntail(lvl 27)

Clamp
Water Gun
Whirpool
Iron Defense

See my notes above about Donphan and Huntail.
