I feel like Hypno without Rest kind of ruins Hypno as a possible Zam/Chansey replacement. Letting Lax and Tauros have free turns is poo, but you can't really go without healing on Hypno, and you can't really run Reflect because you need all of Twave, SToss, and Psychic. Twave may conflict with Venusaur, but combined with SToss you easily paralyze SubZam for Venusaur.
Unless you're VERY good at predicting, Rest Hypno just won't work out without Reflect (or possibly Substitute?). Rest in general doesn't work in RBY without some defence boosting.

That being said, Victreebel might be better
Agreed. If you're not going to go with Eggy, Victreebel does an identical job to Venusaur, but slightly better.

I feel like Hyper Beam might easily be better replaced by Substitute, Double-Edge, or even Stomp.
Thunderbolt is also possible for Slowbro (if it hasn't set up) or the odd Cloyster. Double-Edge is probably the best choice though.
