Your Team: Raichu, Haunter, Starmie

~Strategy~
Lead Raichu and spam Thunder everything.

Haunter and Starmie are your backups, but with Thunder and Seismic Toss (which will always do 15 damage) Raichu doesn't really run the risk of fainting
---------------------
Trainer 4
---------------------
Burglar: Ninetales, Growlithe, Sandshrew, Drowzee, Charmeleon, Vulpix

Your Team: Nidoking, Lapras, Haunter

~Strategy~
Lead Nidoking and spam Earthquake. Ninetales is a damage roll, Drowzee is a 2HKO, and Sandshrew is a 2HKO with Bubblebeam

Lapras should be able to clean up any mess that Nidoking left with STAB moves
---------------------
Trainer 5
---------------------
Mr. Fix: Voltorb, Magnemite, Porygon, Mankey, Kingler, Raichu

Your Team: Haunter, Nidoking, Raichu

~Strategy~
Lead Haunter and Confuse+Night Shade Magnemite and Porygon, Night Shade+Thunderbolt Mankey, Thunderbolt Kingler, and Night Shade the rest

After Haunter dies, bring in Nidoking and spam Earthquake until you win or it dies. If it dies, bring out Raichu to Thunder and/or Seismic Toss your way to victory
---------------------
Trainer 6
---------------------
Hiker: Rhyhorn, Wigglytuff, Kadabra, Machop, Seadra, Gastly

Your Team: Starmie, Haunter, Lapras

~Strategy~
Bubblebeam Rhyhorn and Thunder everything else.

Haunter will clean up anything that Starmie letf with Thunderbolt and Night Shade. Lapras is just there if you need it.
---------------------
Trainer 7
---------------------
Lass: Gyarados, Mr. Mime, Arcanine, Tentacruel, Dewgong, Meowth

Your Team: Starmie, Haunter, Raichu

~Strategy~
Starmie lead and Thunder everything. Even the Arcanine as it'll very likely switch so you can get a free Super Effective hit in.

When Tentacruel comes out, set up a Substitute and spam Thunders, but making sure you have a Substitute on at all times to avoid getting Wrapped. You might also want to Paralyze if you have Raichu out

Overall this fight is just using strong moves to win, which means Electric moves and Super Effective moves to push your way through
---------------------
Trainer 8
---------------------
PKMNiac: Dragonair, Slowbro, Clefable, Coolish, Raticate, Golduck

Your Team: Raichu, Lapras, Haunter

~Strategy~
Not only is that Dragonair illegal because of it's level, it's a piece of shit knowing Dragon Rage, Double Team, Wrap, and Thunder Wave. Leading Raichu and Thunder Waving it 1st turn asssures a Lapras kill after you get off a couple Seismic Tosses. Thunder everything else 1st turn.

When Lapras is out, Ice Beam everything. Haunter is there for back up. It's Thunderbolts and Night Shades can definitely kill off their last Pokemon

Decent luck is required to win this fight and it's not super consistent but you should be able to win in a couple tries
