Is Ninetales or Moltres better for a Yellow playthrough?

Question

I am having trouble deciding on which one, but I do have planned novesets for them:

Fire Blast, Body Slam/Hyper Beam, Confuse Ray, and Fire Spin for Ninetales

Fire Blast, Sky Attack (doubting this), Hyper Beam, and Fire Spin for Moltres

Comments

Those movesets...


Kinda suck

---

Did I specify that it was gen 1?

---

Why are you using one of those two and not something like Flareon or Charizard?

---

No Flareon because I'm using Jolteon.
I am actually currently using Charizard. It's just that I was gonna get the resulting one later.

---

Why would you want to use either of these anytime when you can just use Charizard?

---

Higher Special. Not using Vulpix yet because level 42 is not feasible to reach in ingame before evolution.

---

I think Ninetales and Moltres both come kind of late and take extra experience to use. Are you sure that's worth having the higher special for the small part of the game after you get them?

---

For me yep.

Chairizard crushes this game after 2nd gym

---

The main concern is wether higher stats apart from speed, or slightly more utility is useful.

---

They both come too late and if you really wanted a fire type you would've probably picked up Charmander earlier.

Since you're using Charizard already there's virtually no reason to use them, and far from worth the added stats.

Answer 1

I personally would use Moltres but teach it fly and I would get it before the elite four then level it up a very good amount of levels.
