  • Six Pokemon are required and while legendaries can be suggested, do remember that many people do not like using them because of how easy it makes the game. You might also want to keep the starter.
  • Moves are required for each Pokemon.
  • You should make sure to take into account that some people cannot trade, nor do they want to use cheating devices such as AR. As such, suggesting Porygon is not the best idea.
  • Items, EVs, and Natures are not required.
  • Please provide ample explanation.

Lol I was planning on asking
Can we add Chansey, despite it is so FKNG hard to catch?
chansey isn't good ingame
you kidding?
In RBY, the special attack and special defense were one,
so it had good sp. attack(105).
and to counter physical attack, raise its hp+defense and use counter

This is for Yellow

Charizard
enter image description here
-Fire Blast
-Fly
-Strength
-Cut

Charizard is a starter HM slave that can also attack

Dodrio
enter image description here
-Drill Peck
-Tri Attack
-Hyper Beam
-Agility

Dodrio is a Physical Sweeper, probably the only Pokemon
that can use Tri Attack well enough, and has access to drill peck.
Agility-Hyper Beam is a great combo that can OHKO opponent's team

Snorlax
enter image description here
-Amnesia
-Surf
-Thunder Bolt
-Ice Beam

Snorlax is a Special Tank, thanks to his great special movepool
and the fact that amnesia doubles/triples/quadruples its Special (Sp.Atk+Sp.Def)
Surf can be used to kill ground-rock types, like Golem and Rhydon

Machamp
enter image description here
-Submission
-Hyper Beam
-Seismic Toss
-Dig

Machamp is a Physical Tank that uses Dig to escape from caves

Rhydon
enter image description here
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Body Slam
-Substitute

Rhydon is a Physical Tank with Awesome attack+STAB
and may also paralyze the foe behind substitute

Jolteon
enter image description here
-Thunder Bolt
-Thunder Wave
-Pin Missile
-Double Kick

Jolteon is a Special Sweeper, and thanks to its speed,
it can paralyze opponent's whole team and raise critical chance of its attacks

-NOTE-
-You can get Machamp by In-Game Trade(also Rhydon)
-Hyper Beam doesn't need recharge if you KO opponent's Pokemon with it
-I didn't add any phychic type Pokemon since it was too much overpowered

The nicknames i would use are in parentheses next to the pokemon (doesnt really matter its just a personal touch)
Vaporeon could replace Lapras with...
surf
ice beam
acid armor
bite
two fighting types are a bad idea. Raichu has bad attack, take out sesmic toss. No rest on Dodrio because no item ot wake it up. Vileplume sucks, and you took my T-Bolt Thunder Wave combo.
Actually i swear i didnt i just find the paralysis helpful since he has no static. Also i made some changes and i meant to put hitmonchan or hitmonlee depending on preference oh and i kinda like vileplume
@mythical flygon
seismic toss' damage is equaled to user's level, not attack
(so it is better for low attack pokemon to use, and it's not a STAB for ur machamp)
Also, there were only 50tms altogether in gen1 and every pokemon had shallow movepools,
 so t-wave and thunderbolt was obvious for an electric type pokemon

Red/Blue

Charmander as starter: Charizard, Dugtrio, Snorlax, Exeggutor, Fearow, Lapras

enter image description here
Charizard: Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Slash, Earthquake
-Your starter. While it needs some assistance against Brock and probably Misty (unless you grind like I do) it is still a powerful Pokemon, easily taking down Erika and using its powerful neutral hits against the other Gym Leaders. Flamethrower is your main STAB attack. While it isn't as powerful as Fire Blast, it has more PP, making it more useful for ingame. Fire Spin can just wear the opponent down to a point where you can easily KO them. It's a very deadly move in RBY. Slash gets that great critical hit chance, and is very helpful against Water type foes. Earthquake has high base power and is used to break through Rock types who resist Flamethrower and Slash.

enter image description here
Dugtrio: Earthquake, Slash, Rock Slide, Cut
-At the time you get Dugtrio, it might very well be a higher level than your starter Pokemon. It wasn't that case for me, but I grind. You also get it right as you are about to face the Electric type Gym Leader, so it just gives you a huge advantage. It helps out against Lt. Surge, Koga, Blaine, and Agatha. Earthquake is STAB. Slash is for crits. With its high speed stat, you'll be critting all the time. Rock Slide is coverage against Flying types. Cut is an HM. It has a small movepool, so you don't lose anything by using Cut.

enter image description here
Snorlax: Strength, Hyper Beam, Surf, Blizzard
-Feel free to use Tauros or Chansey if you get them. Chances are, you won't get them. Snorlax comes at a nice level and is incredibly powerful in its own right. Strength is an HM and gets STAB. It only has 5 less base power than Body Slam, which is the most powerful non-recoil more than 5 PP STAB attack Snorlax gets. Hyper Beam can take down pretty much any foe. Use it to KO. Surf is an HM that takes down Rock types. Blizzard is just additional coverage. I only used it against Lance though.

enter image description here
Exeggutor: Psychic, Mega Drain, Sleep Powder, Egg Bomb
-I used Alakazam on my latest ingame team, but since some people won't have access to trading, I replaced it here with Exeggutor. Giovanni, Bruno, and Agatha fall easily to Exeggutor. Psychic and Mega Drain are STAB. Sleep Powder puts foes to sleep, making them easier to beat or to catch depending on the situation. Egg Bomb is just an attack. Sparse movepool and all.

enter image description here
Fearow: Hyper Beam, Drill Peck, Fly, Mimic
-While not as good as Dodrio, it gets a massive level advantage due to be obtained so early on. Hyper Beam and Drill Peck are STAB. Fly is a very useful HM. Mimic can be used to nab something neat.

enter image description here
Lapras: Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic
-Helpful against Blaine and Giovanni, it is also your best bet against Lance. Surf and Ice Beam are STAB while Thunderbolt and Psychic are coverage.

This was my last red team
Venusaur:
-sleep powder
-razor leaf
-body slam
-cut
-This is the starter. Probably the best 1st gen starter. Used to beat brock and mistyearly in the game and later giovani. He's also used for cut
Arcanine:
-fire blast
-flamethrower
-dig
-dragon rage
-This is the fire Pokemon. He''s good for Erika and you can get him right before her. He's also used for dig to escape from caves. Dragon rage is sorta a filler.
Starmie:
-surf
-ice beam
-psychic
-recover
-Starmie is your surfer and an amazing Pokemon 1st gen. He has a great movepool and recovers there so you dont have to waste potions. Hes good for blaine, koga, giovnni, agatha, and blues charizard
Pidgeot:
-Fly
-swift
-mimic
-quick attack
-Pidgeot is sorta just for fly. Hes also kinda just a second Pokemon to use until you can get the rest of your Pokemon so you dont have to only use the starter. Its good for erika and bruno.
Rhydon:
-earthquake
-rock slide
-strength
-submission
-Rhydon is for strength and is just your main physical Pokemon. Hes used for strenght and is good for blaine, and koga.
Jolteon:
-thunderbolt
-thunder wave
-pin missle
-double kick
-jolteon is for your electric Pokemon. Its incredibly fast and therefore has a high critical hit ratio. It has a powerful thunderbolt and has double kick since most grounds have the additional rock typing. Its good lorelei.
