UPDATE
just finished bugsy and got my second gym badge. folkner was pretty easy, but bugsy was a NIGHTMARE with that scyther of his. seriously. u-turn took a chunk of health off krabby each time, and twice I was in a scenario where krabby had half of it's HP left and scyther had a tiny little bit, but scyther used u-turn and got a critical hit. so damn annoying. I got him down in the end though. :D
now that we can move on, krabby's not too far off learning guillotine. I can also obtain oddish now, so that should cover sweet scent.
TEAM
Krabby - Level 20 // Mud Shot, Bubblebeam, Vicegrip, Metal Claw

Flamethrower, Magical Leaf, Light Screen, Astonish, Rock Slide, Ice Beam... WOW. What a list! I really got lucky with those moves.
Two questions though - firstly, what's the rule about moves learned by Heart Scale? Strictly speaking they ARE level-up moves, but I wondered if they were disallowed.
Secondly, is it ok to trade across all of my team at Lv.1 before the 1st Gym?
My team will be picked from the following (all Pokemon I want to raise, which I can trade over right at the start):
Flamethrower – Ninetales
Magical Leaf – Tropius
Light Screen – Starmie
Astonish – Stantler
Rock Slide – Tyranitar
Ice Beam – Glalie

UPDATE
shortly following azalea town, I caught an oddish in ilex forest, which thankfully came with sweet scent. I taught it cut so I could move through the trees, and trained it up on the trainers just north of ilex forest and in the underground in goldenrod. after much training, oddish learnt mega drain and evolved into gloom, so it became much more powerful. :D
we were ready for whitney, who was obviously a pest. clefairy was no problem. krabby took the lead and used metal claw which boosted it's attack on the first go, and on the second turn, clefairy was knocked out. miltank though... ugh. attract + stomp combo as per, which was terribly annoying as both krabby and gloom are males. -.- eventually I scored a critical hit with vicegrip when miltank was down to half health and won. :D
TEAM
Krabby - Level 22 // Mud Shot, Bubblebeam, Vicegrip, Metal Claw
Gloom - Level 21 // Mega Drain, Sweet Scent, Cut, Acid

Hmm. Would it be possible instead to trade one over after each Gym battle? That way I wouldn't be horribly overpowered at the beginning and I'd get my whole team before the E4...

Update #3-
This time, the group trained on the SS Anne - Pidgeotto got to fight off all of Dor's pokemon
I got HM01 and taught Ivysaur cut so we could get to the Vermilion City Gym. Butterfree took on everyone but Surge's Raichu - Pidgeotto outsped it and won, but I ended up having to replay the battle vs. Surge. It came out the same (a little better for Pidgeotto, actually)
So, I got the Lightning Badge and trained up to even levels again.
Team:
Ivysaur - Level 30
Moves: Cut, Razor Leaf, Leech Seed, Vine Whip
Pidgeotto - Level 30
Moves: Gust, Sand-Attack, Quick Attack, Whirlwind
Butterfree - Level 30
Moves: Tackle, Stun Spore, Confusion, Supersonic
I expect the next update will be longer...
