Have your Magnemite spam charge beam. If that doesn't work, then level it up a few levels and try again.

What level is it?
Also, you should be spamming charge beam, not thunder shock. My earlier comment was wrong.

Pretty sure this battle takes place in rain, is there a way to get Thunder?

Here are some suggestions

  • Train your Magnemite to Level 25. In the battle against the totem, use Magnemite to paralyze the Araquanid (using spark or thunder wave) Then, use Metal Sound to harshly lower it's special defense. Magnemite learns Metal Sound at level 25. Finally, use Thunder Shock or Charge beam to take out the Araquanid. And to deal with it's ally Pokemon, do the same. Use a strategy.
  • Evolve your Magnemite into Magneton, at Level 30. Magnemite also learns Electro Ball at Level 29, which can be useful to defeat the totem and its allies.
  • This way takes time, but it's useful. Train a Hawlucha or Trumbeak, and give them Flyinium Z. It will most likely one shot the Araquanid because, it's HP is garbage, and it's Defense is ok.
  • Another way that takes time is, to train your whole team. Train them up to level 25-30, and you'll be fine. Also, your Alolan Meowth evolves by happiness, and it can be useful because of it's ability Fur Coat. It reduces damage from Physical Moves, and Araquanid is a Physical Attacker.

Hope this helped :)

Hawlucha is great, but please don't suggest using Trumbeak. It sucks.

No! My Toucannon is epic, but it's pre evolutions are a bit naff.

Its stats, typing, and growth rate are all worse than Hawlucha's, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Make sure your Magnemite has sturdy. If not, then replace it with a Magnemite that has sturdy. Teach it charge beam and level it up to about level 24. Then, it should be strong enough to overpower the totem Araquanid. A sturdy Magnezone will be a great help later in the game, so this is a worthwhile investment.

Or...

Level Dartrix up till it learns a flying move
Go back to Melemele and enter ten Carat Hill
Get Flyinium Z (guide online)
Go back to the trial
Lead with Dartrix and bust out Supersonic Skystrike on the first turn.
