A nitpick: The Squirtle analysis suggests to beat Misty's Staryu and lose to her Starmie to get enough experience to beat Starmie, but as long as Wartortle has Bite it beats Starmie as it can only use Tackle or Bubblebeam and doesn't have Recover.

I also agree that Hypno should be High or even Top tier, as it has a combination of a good typing, stats, availability, and level-up movepool.

Also, Pikachu is much worse in Yellow than in RB, because it can't evolve.
