HOW to get better weapon please??

Dungeon chests, alpha drops and unlocking new weapons via tech points does the trick.
Early on I found it helps to craft pal collars. Rhat way I had Daedream, Flopie and Dazzi at the same time fight bosses plus another pal in tow.

unlock techonologies that give you attack and defense boosts. You'll gain access to armor in time, and do NOT skimp on that shield. That shield item will keep you going when it gets tough. Learn to dodge oncoming attacks and learn when to return a Pal and replace it with another to fight. They will heal over time in their balls so as long as they don't die due to you switching out frequently (especially if you time the changes to big attacks like a solar flare about to hit them) then you'll get further faster.

And just keep leveling up to unlock those techs. Catching pals is one of the best ways to level up quickly. You get EXP boosts for catching lots of the same Pals so you'll level up before you know it.

Go to the first steps waypoint and go back through the ruins. At the bottom on the beach, is a cave. That is a dungeon appropriate for your level. You'll get blueprints from the end of dungeons which will give you better than normal gear. Level 16 is still very early game. Catch more pals. Get your catch bonuses to level up.

Weapons are not really worth if you craft them to kill Alpha pal. Alpha pal and legendary pal have special armor that reduce damage done to them by a lot. I have legendary Rocket launcher with 14,000 ATK and I can never deal more than 1,000 damage on Alpha Lv 45+

Weapon are more suitable to reduce HP of already near death Alpha Pal to about 1-300 HP without killing them (for capture)

Speaking of dodging, also learn to call back your pal when the boss prepares to launch a locked attack.

The boss will stay locked but attack empty air, saving you precious time and healing.
