No fighting type? Also charizard can't learn fly in red or blue. That's yellow only. Dodrio, maybe? You could also just swap dugtrio and arbok for a nidoqueen: poison, ground and the ability to learn ice beam!

Just beat Giovanni in yellow. Going to safari zone in hopes of snagging a decent bug soon. Roomie is fixated on both psychic types and battling me. -.- Freaking hypno needs to die.

> Current team:
Nidoqueen
Raticate
Gyrados
Charmeleon
Pikachu
Vileplume (will replace).

yeah, but what are the merits for each of these? I should also mention that I don't want to use any pokemon that require TMs to be good since I'm thinking about building a comp team for fun after I beat the game.

>>26782308
> Beat the game

HMs are multi-use so fly, rock smash, surf, ect can be learned on muliple mons.

Dodrio is fast and learns fly. Fly is competitive in G1. Exeggutor has good defense and can survive Alakazaam abuse. Chansey is... seriously? Chansey in G1? GTFO. Already talked up my girl, nidoqueen, but Nidoking is nice if you prefer physical attacks.

>>26782308
He is a motherfucking Exeggutor.
What more merit does he need?

>>26782338
Dodrio sounds good since I didn't know that Charizard couldn't fly. I'll probably hold off on Exeggutor until I'm building a competitive team.

Sad to say, but bug types in gen 1 had no real way on taking on psychics due to either having no bug moves or not having good enough stats to make good use of them. The best way to deal with them is by using fast physical attackers such as Tauros. If it's just a Hypno and not something like Alakazam you're dealing with, though, you might be able to have Beedrill defeat it with Twineedle. It's part Poison, though, so it probably won't survive a Psychic.

>>26782308
You need a flyer and Dodrio is the best Normal/Flying type. You can also dick around with Tri Attack.

Serious question: Did they fix the glitch where ghost isn't SE on psychic for the VC release or is it a direct port?

>>26782396
the mew glitch is still intact so I want to say no

My roomie has Hypno, Alakazaam and sometimes drags out Mr Mime as well. When I said psychic-obsessed, I meant it.

I was shooting for the resistance to psychic which is why I thought something beefy like a pinsir that can hit hard and has enough HP to survive a few blasts while going second. Executor was my second choice for similar reasons, though the many weaknesses have me leery. I didn't think of Tauros, though. If I can find some, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Nah, they didn't to anything to the game other than replace link cables with wireless.

Give up. Psychic are the kings of 1st Gen.

>>26782425
Try Slowbro. It doesn't have as many weaknesses and can use Amnesia.

>not playing Yellow
>being a red&blue cuck

why?

>>26782230
Vaporeon is god tier and it can learn Ice Beam.

Vileplume has higher special attack than Victreebel, so it's a good addition too. A good moveset for it could be: Toxic, Solarbeam, Razor Leaf, Stun Spore? Maybe Body Slam instead of Stun Spore?

Magneton is pretty decent too. Amazing special attack. It's a personal favorite. You need to teach it Thunderbolt...but you already have an electric type.

Lapras is also god tier, with dual ice / water typing and can learn Ice Beam as well.

Dragonite is a great addition to any team of course, but that is just a pain in the fing ass to train up, especially as late in the game as you are.

Exeggutor. Can learn Psychic and provide grass coverage. Also bulky with a good special.

Dodrio is the best non-legendary flying type in the game. Slap Tri Attack and Fly on that bitch and it will be a great addition.

Nidoking / Nidoqueen. Earthquake. nuff said. but seriously, can also learn many special moves. Pretty bulky.

Alakazam / Gengar are absolutely god tier. buuutttt unless you patched the game, or have a friend to trade with, you won't be able to access them. Of course, Haunter / Kadabra are pretty amazing by themselves.

I see you already have Charizard, but otherwise I wouldn't even bother with Fire types in this gen. Ninetales and Rapidash are mediocre, Magmar kind of sucks, and using Moltres feels like cheating. Arcanine is pretty decent I guess.

>not buying both so you can use version exclusive glitches
To shame anon.

Dodrio is the best non-legend flying type.
Amnesia Snorlax is godly.
Slowbro is god tier too.
Jynx is GOAT with both STAB blizzard and psychic.
