Hey, I just started Heartgold recently and could use some tips on my team and what I should train/change.
I just got to Blackthorn City, any recommendations for fighting Clair (Dragon type gym leader) and for future battles? I know that Ice type is supposed to be good against Dragon type.

Note: This is my starter. I can evolve into Typhlosion but have just delayed evolution

Weepinbell Level 32
Moveset: Vine Whip (Grass), Flash (Normal), Knock Off (Dark), Acid (Poison)
Note: I've had my doubts about Weepinbell, but I don't have any other grass types as of yet

Krabby Level 27
