Gen 1 Gimmick Anti-Starmie Raticate Team (Sigil of Baphomet)

Context: This is my first original team and my level of understanding is low, I just thought this was a novel idea. I apologize if my explanations are insufficient.

Alakazam is the fastest para-spreader in the tier. The idea is against a Starmie lead, it will para Starmie allowing for the plan to go into effect. Also has reflect.

Raticate is the main novelty in this anti-Starmie plan. Its job is to land Super Fang to halve Starmie's HP. The other moves are for coverage and damage.

Chansey is explicitly level 93 to set up the Max HP - 255 HP glitch. If it uses seismic toss on a Starmie after Raticate's super fang, it will be unable to use Recover. Rest is par for the course.

Snorlax is Snorlax (lol). this Snorlax has Amnesia as a setup move, and Ice Beam for the special attack. It also has self-destruct in order to eliminate a threat if its in danger.

Exeggutor is the sleeper. It also has explosion to take out a threat. Before that it puts pokemon to sleep and spreads status and does STAB psychic

Tauros is the sweeper. They're dealing with the leftovers who have all the status. They have blizzard and earthquake for coverage.

The core and gimmicky idea is to paralyze Starmie, then have Raticate come out and hit them with Super Fang, then seismic toss with the level 93 Chansey to put them at exactly 255 HP below their max HP. The rest of the team is designed for coverage for everything else.
