As weird as that sounds... it might be useful. Not Charizard, that's kinda overboard just for a little Grass protection, but the use of Fire Pokémon with Colorless attacks. I've heard of this before, a Charmander in a Fighting deck to keep Grass at bay. Really very pointless because of it's low 10 attack, but an idea. The only really useful Pokémon for this are Ponyta and Rapidash. Both have a 20 damage colorless attack for 2, and Rapidash has the chance of doing 30. Plus a decent 70 HP, just 10 less than Charmeleon, plus a free retreat cost, which will make it a MOST VERY good choice. Bring it in on one turn, let it do it's bussiness, and bring it back next turn. I never ran into much of a problem with just Grass itself in my Raindance, I would just let Blastoise fight for a while. I have to admit though that in doing so there was alot of retreating, and was exspensive Energy-wise. So putting in 1 or 2 Rapidash might be a good idea. Along with a double colorless or two, to make this a fast operation, I think it might work out, and very well, too. But then there are the exceptions, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and many others still to come aren't weak to Fire but Psychic. But there isn't much sense in having a Raidance deck with half the Pokémon Fire and Psychic is there? So I would only recomend trying this as a last resort if you keep getting beat by Grass. As far as this deck is concerned, trade in the Charizard line for 2 or 3 Ponyta, along with the either 1 or 2 Rapidash. Depending on what you put in, get about 4 Bill, and whatever else you want to put in. Try some Poké Balls, there pretty good.
