    Alright, I've decided to try Gen one metagame, so far I have created the following team.




    Lead:Alakazam
    T-wave
    Psychic
    Recover
    Seismic toss

    Total destruction, basic smogon set for alakazam, he can paralyze and sweep

    Lead: Dragonite
    Hyper beam
    Wrap
    T-bolt
    Blizzard

    I chose Dragonite for lead-disabling reasons. It wraps the foe, then can either switch out or attack. Blizzard and T-bolt are chosen due to their destructive gen one power.

    Gengar
    Hypnosis
    Explosion
    T-bolt
    Mega drain

    The basic smogon set, hypnosis-sweep boom is the strategy.

    Chansey
    Softboiled
    Ice beam
    T-bolt
    Psychic

    Smogon set however I added psychic to counter fighting types. 703 hp and decent special makes chansey a great fighter

    Snorlax
    Body slam
    Selfdestruct
    EQ
    Hyper beam

    Smogon set for sweeping

    Slowbro
    Amnesia
    Surf
    Thunder Wave
    Rest

    .gamer's suggestion, will help with surf to destroy rocks

    Zapdos
    Thunderbolt
    Drill Peck
    Thunder Wave
    Thunder

    Smogon sweep set

    I am not sure about this team yet, I have a BL pokemon which scares me, however I really wanted a wrapper

    Dragonite sucks in RBY. The most common leads that I have seen: Jynx, Alakazam, Gengar, Eggy really aren't bothered by that set, 3/4 of those outspeed it (eggy might outspeed but im too lazy to check). Well Eggy doesn't like Blizzard, but it will survive with enough HP to Sleep/Para you. Honestly Jynx or Eggy are one of the better leads in RBY. You could also just throw Zam or Gar up there if you wanted to.

    Gengar and Zam are good.

    Chansey doesn't need Psychic. No Fighting mon is popular in OU, due to Psychic dominance. So just go with Thunder Wave, or Sing if you really want it. (T-Wave is a better option imo).

    Get rid of Thunder on Zapdos. Its useless when you have the more accurate Thunderbolt. Put Agility in instead, this will allow you to bypass speed drops.

    Big threats to your team: Tobybro, Rhydon, Golem. Rhydon and Golem are easier to fix since they have similar checks and that one check also happens to check Tobybro. Because it is Tobybro.

    Slowbro
    - Amnesia
    - Surf
    - Thunder Wave
    - Rest

    My favorite RBY set, in fact I think I have on all my RBY teams lol. After an Amnesia it doesn't scared of nothing. T-Wave stuff to increas your CH rate, Rest so you don't die. Surf is your main form of damage dealing. I would replace Dragonite for this, and move Zam to the lead position.

    So yeah, thats all I got. Good luck.
