I worked hard to make Farfetch'd my ace for the team, and give him the glory of the final blow against Gary, running a set of Double Team, Swords Dance, Fly, and Slash to dodge multiple Blizzard attacks from his Blastoise. My heart stopped when he got hit by two of them (Even with the evasion buffs and PP-stalling with Fly!), but my little man survived against all odds and restored glory to his name with a decisive critical hit Slash! >:D
The Wigglytuff oddly enough became similarly good as a physical sweeper, wrecking just about anything with Body Slam and Hyper Beam while wrecking other normal types with Submission (And basically no recoil damage because of her monstrous HP). I had no idea 'Tuff had it in her to sweep, but I'm proud of her!
Arguably the Nidoking is the only member of the team that's "mainstream", but considering it's a Posion-type in gen 1, I think it's a fair pick. He basically ended up being my pure coverage special sweeper, but I used him much less than expected.
That was really fun challenging myself to use weaker, more neglected Pokémon - it feels good to give them a chance, and it made me consider new strategies that I hadn't used before!
