Cometstarlight

What do I do now?
Not quite.

Try giving descriptions, like how each pokemon could benefit your team and what their main functions are. For example, your Raichu is Modest, you may not want to go for volt tackle in that case. You may want a neutral nature, or something else of the sort.

Let's say you have a Skarmory on your team. What is it's use? What does it do? Is it a lead? Is it a wall? Is it a spike setter? Things like this should be explained so your team situation can be approached better.

I have not trained my pokemon yet, they are all lvl 5 so I can still
chanche moves.and pokemon

I was thinking about milotic and raichu on the front
milotic uses rain dance
raichu uses (?) dous'nt matrer
after rain dance cant thunder miss
so...
Thunder time
if there are any ground against raichu there is surf
from milotic
if there is grass milo uses ice beam
if there is electric there is...
Uh
Switch marowak?
P.s. I can switch machamp for any pokemon in emerald,
Ruby fire red abd leaf green

Oh, *facepalm* my bad, I didn't see that it was 3rd gen. In that case, your Modest Raichu is good for use XD

For 3rd gen, I always liked using Skarmory for a physical tank, spikes setter.

I'm going to openly admit that I'm not the best at competitive, but I know enough to get by.

Machamp w/leftovers
Jolly: 252 Attk, 252 Spd, 4 Def
-Brick Break
-Earthquake
-Sunny Day/Rock Tomb
-Seismic Toss

This feels like a good set and allows you a choice in how you do it. Rock Tomb is for if you don't want to use Sunny Day for your team, and for whatever it doesn't knock out, it lowers the speed on. The Sunny Day option is there just in case you want to run Solarbeam on Houndoom and just plow through since Houndoom has a Modest nature.

Houndoom w/Charcoal
~Modest: 252 sp attk, 252 spd, 4 hp
-Flamethrower
-Crunch
-Solarbeam
-Toxic/Sludge Bomb

Solarbeam has already been spoken for. I do recommend you use Crunch rather than both Crunch and Faint Attack. Chances are you are going for full power to knock out the opponent before they have a chance to set up a billion double teams. Houndoom is not a bulky pokemon and should be handled more as a glass cannon. Toxic is used for pokemon that may need softening up before going in for the kill. Sludge Bomb is a good alternative to it and it has a chance of poisoning as well. Flamethrower speaks for itself.

And that's what I have for you right now : )

You do realize you can buy Sunny day in that dep store in lilycove, right?

Also, take no offense to this, but your grammar makes it very difficult to read what you are typing

3rd gen is fairly ancient by now, most forum users have moved to 4th and 5th gen.

It depends a bit on what you are doing with your pokémon. Are you going to E4? Are you going to Battle Frontier, and if BF, which facilities?
