Gen I games are not difficult but are frustrating to play.
Besides critical hits and wrap/bind shenanigans, move sets are pure garbage.

Until level 15 Zubat's only damaging attack is leach life and it doesn't learn a STAB move until level 28 (or level 32 if it evolves).
Many Pokemon learn one new move once every 10 levels or so and are mostly basic normal-type attacks. Sandshrew learns no ground moves naturally.

You can be stuck fighting the Hiker in Mt Moon for a long time if you have no super effective moves.
Why are move sets in Gen I so rubbish? Paras doesn't learn any damaging grass-type attacks naturally, the poor thing.

That's what TMs are for.

>Razor Wind
Garbage

>Whirlwind
USELESS

>Toxic
Decent, but no that good in single player

>Take Down
Bad

>Double-Edge
Okay

>Hyper Beam dang good

>Rage Normal 20 100% 20
Junk

>Mega Drain
If you are gonna use a Zubat/Golbat the whole game, you should give it this.

>Mimic
Decent due to lacking movepool

>Double Team Normal — —% 15
Decent

>Bide
Garbage

>Swift
Bad, considering how late it arrives

>Rest
Bad on it, better on other mons

Substitute
Not worth it

Golbat is recommended to use Screech, Double-Edge/Hyper Beam, Confuse Ray and Mega Drain

People like to pretend TMs solve the moveset issues, but it doesn't at all for most mons.

This is especially true when you consider that most TM's are 1 offs. If you give a Pokemon a TM that you haven't duplicated, none of your other Pokemon are getting that move.

The movesets for gen1 and gen2 are absolute garbage all around.

Play the remakes or a hack that fixes this, otherwise only a few pokes are ever really that useful. You'll want to find your favorite pokemon and use them only to find out that their level up moves are garbage.
