@Nyara: Thanks!
I really don't have anything else to say about Spearow. Others can deal with it if they want!

What do people think of this set for in-game runs?
Poliwrath
Amnesia
Surf
Ice Beam/Blizzard
Psychic/Body Slam
I was just going over some of my old entries to decide which ones to revamp, and Poliwag is one of them. In the old entry I was a bit dismissive of Amnesia and I didn't use it in my playthrough because I evolved it before level 41, but I think this could work out very well. Poliwhirl can be caught at level 40 in Yellow and that's just 1 level away from Amnesia, and then with the excellent coverage of its moves it would be just like Slowbro but with much better Speed in exchange for STAB on Psychic and a few Special points. If you can get this as soon as you get the Super Rod, then the rest of the game would probably be pretty easy for you.
Not sure how viable this would be in RB since the capture level isn't as high (level 23 Poliwhirl is the best you can do I think). I suppose preventing Poliwhirl from evolving until level 41 wouldn't be that bad but I don't really know.
Just a thought, although I really don't think I want to do any more testing in this game!
