Mr. Mime, I can deal with, but with Aerodactyl being pretty much useless and Scyther being a pain to get, I'd prefer to have something...well, a little less time consuming.

Well you're playing on Red so that limits what I can give you ;). However... being that this is Generation 1, you have the notable glitches at your disposal(Old Man, Ditto, etc.). Ditto one in particular allows you to catch ANY Pokemon in the game in a Wild Encounter. Meaning those pesky Safari Zone Pokemon can be caught without fear of it running away. However, I'll reroll your entire team.

Brown: https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/x-y/normal/arcanine.png

Five of those six you can get by Cerulean City(the last one won't be until Celadon).

I'm not big on using glitches. But, this one looks pretty fine. I've never used Parasect in a run before, so this should be interesting.

Parasect is slow but being a Bug/Grass type means you can use it against Sabrina and get good results since it knows Slash(good physical move) and Leech Life(STAB Bug move). Also has the signature Spore move to go along with say Mega Drain to give it a Grass STAB. Can also teach it Cut if you don't want to give that to Bulbasaur.
