Zam beats Starmie no problem, and outspeeds to para first. Not sure why you went to chansey.
Not sure why you went to your Eggy over Zam, your sleepbait.

nice job with Eggy vs Eggy, Eggy usually can't fight itself too well. But, your Eggy is sleeping...

Confused as to why you let Zam get a free DoubleEdge hit then run back to Eggy. Para and Recover lets him survive practically anything Eggy has, barring explosion. Which Reflect lets him survive.

You get outpredicted with the Tauros vs Chansey

Confused as to why you let Zam get killed only to bring out a flying. Golem/Rhydon almost never use Rock Slide over EQ or Body Slam.

And then you bring out sleeping Eggy on his Starmie? very confused.

You let Golem get taken out after you scouted Exeggutor's moves(no psychic). Articuno would have came in very safely. Flying resists Grass. Blizzard threatens all of his pokemon except Starmie, and Golem can come in on Zapdos and explode.

Personally, I would have risked bringing Chansey in on Starmie and trying to survive to heal. 40%+ Chansey walls Starmie, and can come in anytime unless you get unlucky with para. You then could heal up off Starmie and potentially deal damage to his Tauros on the switch in.
