My Pokemon Red party.
Used for competition with friends and Stadium.

---

Snorlax
-Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Blizzard
-Rest

My main opener. Due to lack of major sweepers in Generation I, Snorlax does well to stand as an opening tank. Body Slam for STAB, Earthquake for the sheer power of it, and Blizzard is simply there to help cover a bit of a Ground weakness three of my Pokemon have, and because Ice Beam and/or Surf coming from Snorlax would do about as much damage as a Rattata's Tackle (exaggeration, but you get the point). Also, Blizzard has a 89.5% accuracy rating in Gen I compared to the 70% from Gen II and up. Rest is of course, for resting.
Right, but Blizzard is too weak coming from a base 65 special. And rest isn't good for the same reason - notice that its only recommended on the Amnesia set. Anyway, Hyper beam is really good, pretty much standard for move #3 on Fisilax. Move #4 is open to your opinions. Rock Slide hits Charizard and Moltres, along with Lapras. But, Surf is good against Golem/Rhydon. When you switch to starmie for the surf, rhydon either body slams on the switch, or subs.

Gengar
-Toxic
-Confuse Ray
-Mega Drain
-Psychic

Annoyer, in its simplest form. Poison, Confuse, and Mega Drain to cover Ground weakness and steal a bit of HP, despite its very low base power. Psychic to exploit its extremely high Special stat. The second best annoyer in Gen I in my opinion, Tangela being my favorite with Toxic/Bind/Growth/Mega Drain and having high Defense and Special. Still considering whether Tangela's multiple weaknesses or Gengar's Psychic weakness is worse.
This is your leader. Toxic really sucks in RBY, and the opponent can't be paralyzed afterwards. Confuse Ray is also useless. Hypnosis is a great choice, despite the accuracy issues. Explosion to take out those that don't like dying. Thunderbolt > Mega Drain, as you'll do more to most waters with T-bolt, and most grounds with Psychic.

-

Alakazam
-Psychic
-Recover
-Reflect
-Thunder Wave

I feel so bad for the Alakazam of Gen I. My favorite pokemon (Abra actually, but unevolved pokemon are death sentences in competition), the best Special stat without using 00bers, but only one decent special move, Psychic. Recover for recovering, Reflect to boost physical defense, Thunder Wave for paralysis/slowing down the opponent. I'm considering a set-damage attack like Seismic Toss instead of Thunder Wave simply out of pity.
Although it has a great special attack, its movepool is lacking. Slowbro, Exeggutor, Jynx are all excellent alternatives. If you want to keep this though, Seismic Toss > Reflect, as Psychic's pp will die very quickly.

-

Starmie
-Surf
-Psychic
-Ice Beam
-Recover

My favorite special sweeper for R/B/Y. With a base Special of 100, it's almost as effective as the Rain Dancing Lanturn of Gen II/III days. No Thunderbolt since Jolteon can take care of that.
I'll be perfectly honest, there are better Psychic users than Starmie, even though it gets STAB. Thunderbolt > Psychic, please.

-

Arcanine
-Flamethrower
-Body Slam
-Dig
-Agility

Flamethrower for STAB, Body Slam because of paralysis, Dig because the move is pretty spectacular for non-Earthquaking Pokemon in Gen I with 100 base damage, and Agility for obvious purposes. Kind of a bum choice, I really don't like Fire types. Any suggestions for a replacement?
Rhydon has rock slide to deal with bugs, and Zapdos has Drill Peck for grasses. Consider Rhydon as the replacement.

-

Jolteon
-Thunderbolt
-Pin Missile
-Thunder Wave
-Agility

Thunderbolt for STAB, Pin Missile for obvious Psychic removal reasons. The only other Pokemon whose Bug attack will do significant damage is Beedrill, who'll get one-hit KO'd by any Psychic attack in the game. Thunder Wave for paralysis/reducing speed to launch those pins, Agility to increase that speed. A shame he can't be taught Light Screen, really. :/
Use Zapdos, it has an EQ immunity. And Drill Peck STABed does more damage coming from Zappy than Pin Missile, maxed, coming from Jolteon. Drill Peck also does a good amount of damage to Chansey.

---

I tried my best to balance out my attack strengths with my type weaknesses.
The only outstanding "problems" are:

No Normal strength: Not too big of a deal, unless I run into a Chansey. Eek.
No Ghost strength: A bit arbitrary, because all the Ghost types in Gen I are sub-Poison types, which I've got covered five-fold.
Two Bug weaknesses, one strength: Also quite small of a problem, as the type is almost never used aside from Pinsir or the occasional Scyther, whose Special stats would never save them from my Arcanine's Flamethrower.
Rhydon, HyperBeam Lax deal with Chansey. Starmie, Alakazam deal with Tauros. Explosion Gengar takes on Lax. Gengar also takes care of Persian. If you choose to have eggy on your team, thats even better.
Gengar is a pain, but you have EQ from Rhydon, Psychic from Zam.
Bug problem - Scyther and his normal moves pose a huge problem for gengar who is immune (sarcasm), and rhydon who resists normal and KOs with Rock Slide. Pinsir's Submission poses a threat to Rhydon, but not so much either. Seismic toss affects Gengar, So I wouldn't use Gengy as a counter.

Thanks in advance for the ratings.

Heres My Team:

Hyper Beam, Drill Peck, Agility, Body Slam
Substitute, Toxic, Explosion, Thunderbolt
Surf, Ice Beam, Psycic, Recover
Flamethrower, Slash, Body Slam, Reflect
Slash, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Hyper Beam
Leach Seed, Sleep Powder, Psycic, Mega Drain

Dordio's good. Nothing to say.

Electrode: Good. But you might consider double team or reflect instead of Substitute

Starmie: Good job.

Charizard: You should use Earthquake over Body Slam.

Dugtrio: Perfect.

Exeggutor: Good job. Using leech seed along with mega drain and sleep powder is really smart.

Wow, I really don't know why you posted in here, your team could own any moment.

I dunno. I like the movesets individually, they're all pretty much quoted from the standard movesets, but you've got some MAJOR common weaknesses. A pokemon that I personally use a lot, Blastoise, with Ice Beam, Surf, EQ, and Body Slam can nail 5/6 of your team with super effective hits. Just Ice Beam and Surf, two moves commonly used on the same pokemon could nail 2/3 of your team. A Rock/Ground could completely wall your first two pokemon. Completely. Some things can't be avoided, but I think that with some very careful choices you could have some better type coverage.

Right, I only checked for the personal moves and I didn't really think about checking the team.
Some ideas:

If you have to have an electric type, is Electrode REALLY your best choice? Looking at his build, he has TWO filler moves, Substitute and Toxic. That's two moves wasted. (Sub is nice though.) Electabuzz is a fantastic electric option. Electabuzz@Thunderbolt/Ice Punch/Psychic/Thunder Wave is a good set. It also gets you Thunder Wave, a guaranteed paralysis, which you didn't have before.

The problem is that Electabuzz is not available in Yellow without trading. Of course, we don't know what version he has but today it's not common to see someone who wants (and can) trade an Electabuzz.
Your Charizard is also a point of weakness, bogging down your team with his type. Rock Slide and Surf, two rather common moves, also own two other pokemon on your team. And think about the pokemon who carry those moves. If they have Rock Slide, they WILL have EQ. And if they have Surf the will MOST LIKELY have Ice Beam. Those moves can rip through your team. Rip. Now, if you REALLY want that Reflect you have on there, you could put it on almost anything, but I don't think that's why you have him on your team now is it? Aside from his attack, Charizard is a rather plain choice. A special move and a few normal fillers, and maybe a non-stabbed EQ in there. I can name a lot of pokemon that could pull that off better than that.

Right, a pokémon with Rock Slide could own 3 of your pokemon easily, and that's considering this pokémon does not have any other damaging move.

Your Dugtrio, while cool with his amazing critting ability, is very very frail. Not because of the set, but because he's dugtrio. Maybe consider a Rhydon or Golem? Much sturdier, and pretty much the same moveset.

Good idea, knowing Rhydon can learn Surf, STAB EQ, Fire Blast and T-Bolt. But for Golem, it's hard to find one.

/ Also, Starmie and Exeggutor, while cool, have secondary typings and aren't really powerhouses. Something with some OOMPH that can OHKO fast and then do it again and again.

Now I have a soft spot for Dodrio. I don't know what to do with him. IMO he's a very good core to a team, (Other core team members in RBY include pokemon like Alakazam and Chansey.) something to keep the same while support and other sweepers are swapped around. (Lapras is really good support, and some generic sweepers. Double Powder-ers are also good support.)

Now, some pokemon to consider instead of a few of yours:

Machamp
Electabuzz
Rhydon
Snorlax
Lapras
Blastoise (He's a VERY solid pokemon, can take on a wide range of enemies and has good stats. I don't know what YOU would do with him, but I would check him out, see if you like him. Then again you do have Charizard...)

Once again, Machamp and electabuzz are not that easy to find.

And some powerhouses like I was talking about:
Alakazam
Gengar (Kind of.)
Mewtwo (If you're in to that kind of thing.)
Chansey
Dragonite (He takes a bit longer but he gets the job done.

Alakazam and Gengar are hard to find too, but they are in fact very good choices.

Just some things to consider.

I just got my Pokémon Red, and this is the first team I ever made for Gen. I.

Venusaur
- Razor Leaf
- Sleep Powder
- Swords Dance
- Body Slam

Swords Dancer. Venusaur Uses Sleep Powder and then Swords Dance while the opponent is asleep/ switching, then sweeps with Body Slam and Razor Leaf.

Use growth instead of swords dance, and sweep with razor leaf

I would lose body slam for some healing move, so giga drain would be my pick


Cloyster
- Clamp
- Blizzard
- Hyper Beam
- Explosion

Clamper. Uses Clamp to immobilize opponent, then hits with Blizzard or Hyper Beam. Uses Explosion as a last resort.

you might wanna look at victreebel with wrap, stun spore, razor leaf, and Body slam.
stun spore to paralyze, and now use wrap, and you move faster than them, so when you finish with "attack continues" you can use it again before they have a chance to ht you, and use razor leaf to finish them off, or body slam (body slam is in there because it looks decent, but feel free to drop it)

Gyarados
- Surf
- Thunderbolt/Thunder
- Hyper Beam
- Fire Blast

Sweeper. Uses Surf/Thunderbolt/Fire Blast for type coverage, and Hyper Beam is to hit what the others don't.

I need help about using T-Bolt or the stronger Thunder and Fire Blast. I don't know if I should use Power over Accuracy, or Accuracy over power.

I would use Lapras with psychic, surf, sing, and ice beam instead, because it then has 2 stab moves, and it can kill most anything with that moveset

Hitmonlee
- Meditate
- Counter
- Substitute
- Hi Jump Kick

Physical attacker. Uses Substitute first, then Meditate under Substitute protection. Hitmonlee has Counter to hit the foe back with twice the power.

substitution costs hp, and counter requires to be hit to deal damage... and you don't have any move that can heal, so you will lose all hp while trying to deal damage if you use counter... use hi jump kick instead of counter, and I therefore recommend toxic instead, and lol as they die while you charge up.


Hypno
- Psychic
- Thunderwave/Reflect
- Hypnosis
- Rest

Hypno Uses Hypnosis to put the foe to sleep, then uses Reflect to boost defense. Uses Rest when on low health.

thunder wave and hypnosis is a bit redundant because only one status effect can be in effect at a time. I recommend dream eater instead of thunder wave, so you can heal with out sleeping, and you get a stab, therefore rest should be replaced with something like double team so that you can boost you evasiveness as they sleep, and when they wake up, sleep them again until your evasiveness is maxed out, then dream eater if you need to heal, or psychic them

Snorlax
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Hyper Beam
- Selfdestruct

Physical Snorlax. Hyper Beam is a finishing move to take out weakened Pokémon. When about to faint, Snorlax takes out the opponent with Selfdestruct.
hyper beam is normally a bad choice, but in r/b/y it is decent as long as the pokemon using it is normal so it gets a stab bonus
rest instead of selfdestruct.(snorlax is a giant HP wall, and being able to instantly regain all it's health is amazing! and therefore selfdestruct is pointless when you can heal yourself instead
