How do I beat Erika with the pokemons I have. Running on Randomizer Normal Difficulty

Deathless bit of fun with this redundant asshole, I think I matched his energy well. I’m sure he enjoyed the constant switching, I don’t usually run a strat like this vs him but what can ya do in a Nuzlocke.

Normal mode MGM Nuzlocke

For Context: This is the nugget bridge rival fight in Hardcore mode (4.1). The first time my Dauchsbun was out against the Simisear, I switched it out as Simisear went for HP rock. The 2nd time however while my Dauchsbun was in against this Simisear and I switched it out, Smimisear went for incinerate on the pkmn I switched in. This clip is the third time i'm switching in Dauchsbun but decided to stay in this time. I thought the rad red hc AI was pretty smart but this interaction just does not make sense.

Random everything and my abilities are awful. The best I can get.

Mega Charizard - Water bubble. (Only randomly leaned Water Pulse)

Delphox - Ice Body.

Blaziken - Receiver (what even is the point).

Skeledirge - Soundproof (nothing uses sound).

Infernape - Sharpness with no slash moves.

Cinderace - Soul Heart.

Their alternative abilities are even more hopeless lol

Somehow hobbled my way through to Gary.

Isn't it crazy almost sweeping the champ with one mon

This is my team i am stuck at lance do you all have any suggestions or a strategy which could help me his selemance is faster than my whole team and one shots everyone

Kangaskhan thought he can paralyze Lopunny with 2 Body Slam but this Lopunny have Limber.

I’ve played a few ROM hacks before, mainly Drayano hacks + Inclement Emerald + Liquid Crystal

I never play these games with a calculator & team list next to me, I just go in blind and I usually get by fine with just a standard 6 Pokémon

However this game is NO JOKE, I’m still playing nearly blind but it forces you to maintain a pool of like 12+ Pokémon to swap in & out and it’s actually a lot of fun, I wish more hacks were designed this way

Also I’m only familiar with Pokémon Gen 1-7 so I feel like that makes it even trickier

I just reached the Pokémon Mansion right now please feel free to leave any comments, tips, criticisms or advice

Also, is there a better method for quickly grinding levels besides dropping 10k at the EV guy in Lavender town each time?

I switch my Pyroar to Lopunny because i want use it against Meganium. I forgot catch male Indeedee. Doesn't matter Female Indeedee still strong (i didn't use her).

This is my current team RN for Erika. I made some tweaks because I wiped earlier. I'm doing a regular run through before I nuzlocke and I'm trying to find good encounters for the gym leaders. Is there anything I should change here? I'll drop the details of my team now
