Fast introduction
Well, I wana show what I consider the ideal Gen 1 Team, let me know in the comments what changes would you do or think it could work better, this should help all beginners and give ideas to others more experienced.
Strategy
1. Lead starting battle
2. Change Slept/Frozen Jynx to Exeggutor
3. Use Chansey to stall the opponent's Lead/Mewtwo.
Careful about your Chansey getting paralyzed, use him to paralyze enemie's Lead/Chansey. Don't paralyze Mewtwo unless it's your last option, so use Light Screen, Soft-Boiled if necessary and then use Ice Beam on him and try freeze him.
4. Use Mewtwo/Mew aggresively
The Team
Jynx (Lead)
Lovely Kiss | Psychic | Blizzard | Rest
1/3 chance to freeze before dying to Thunderbolt (most used against). Always try sleep other enemy lead that isn't Gengar, then use psychic or blizzard, unless you can one shot the enemy lead then use firstly psychich or blizzard (rare case).
Chansey (Tank-Switcher)
Light Screen | Ice Beam | Soft-Boiled | Thunder Wave
Very huge HP pokemon, mostly have on every team. Use him as tank-switcher. Try use him to deal against opponents that doesn't have hp recover moves. Careful with Tauros, he can Body Slam and then finish you with an Hyper Beam. Light Screen | Ice Beam | Soft-Boiled | Thunder Wave
Mewtwo (MVP)
Amnesia | Psychic | Ice Beam | Recover
The best pokemon. You can destroy anyone with him. Don't get freeze and careful with Tauros always. Switch into Chansey if you face pokemons with Explosion that can kill you. Ice Beam to enemy Mewtwo/Chansey always, if you freeze one of them you probably won the battle. Use Amnesia/Rest carefuly, just against monsters that can't paralyze you, you can take the risk of Ice Beams but not Thunder Waves. Amnesia | Psychic | Ice Beam | Recover
Mew
Swords Dance | Body Slam | Explosion | Soft-Boiled
Use him to destroy almost anything, you can win Tauros easily if you don't get paralyzed or crit with Body Slam. If so, switch into Chansey or just use Explosion if you want. Better use of explosion is when you are low HP and can't kill opponent with another single move. Swords Dance | Body Slam | Explosion | Soft-Boiled
Snorlax
Body Slam | Earthquake | Hyper Beam | Self-Destruct
It's the same as Tauros. Body slam abuse and try to paralyze and crit the opponent. Survives a Tauros critical Body Slam and a Hyper Beam. Use Explosion against Chansey. You can use him after your Jynx is dead combined with Chansey/Exeggutor, or just switch him in when you firstly sleep the enemy Lead or similar. Body Slam | Earthquake | Hyper Beam | Self-Destruct
Tauros
Body Slam | Earthquake | Hyper Beam | Blizzard
The strongest (after Mewtwo and Mew). He got 20% critical hit over the time, so just use Body Slam and then Hyper Beam. Careful with paralyze, it'sBody Slam | Earthquake | Hyper Beam | Blizzard
a big threat for him. Normally they will try paralyze u with Chansey or Exeggutor.
Pros & Cons
The cons are Gengar Lead, because sleeps your Jynx (I might consider using a Gengar Lead with Explosion in case of a desfavorable Lead matchup). No rock-type, Tauros is always a problem and Slowbro.
