4th Gen can't beat the 2nd gym battle in pokemon diamond

[crystalgirl]

Hi
please help. I have tried fighting the 2nd gym master 5 times now and I can't beat her, normally the problems come when Roseala appear and starts dishing out magic leaf!
I know what the main problem is-its my team, and my inexperience of fighting!
I have level 26 prinpulp
level 19 pschirisu
level 7 shellos
level 19 ? Luxray

I have played the game for 9 and half hours, is it normal for me to be stuck-the only way I can get through it by prinpulp using peck, the other things seem to be very weak on them.
The only way through this I think is to go back and try and find another pokemon which could beat them-such as fire, but dont think Ive seen many fire pokemon!
Please help!

level up the other pokemon. Prinpulp isn't going to beat them good. Get perhaps a fire pokemon, or if you can't. Just level the other pokemon to at least 20 before challenging her again

You should go back and catch a Starly, evolve it to Staravia, and everything will be easy against her. You need a Flying-type to use Fly and Defog later also :)

Hey Crystal Girl. Go back and catch either a Starly or Zubat (I'd choose Zubat personally, I prefer its later evolutions) and train them up to around lvl 18-20. Zubat learns 'wing attack' at lvl 17 although I think Starly learns it alot earlier, around lvl 11 or 12 maybe...or you could catch a Meditite that knows 'confusion', train it up and then go defeat Gardenia & co.

It's up to you at the end of the day, just have fun :)

It's probably just a matter of your pokemon not being at a high enough level =(
