I'm writing a fanfic with 2 characters who are rivals, and I want the rival's team to be a good counter to the main character's team, but still having a possibility of losing to the main character's team. Problem is, I suck at team building. Which Pokémon would you say work well as a counter to the following team? Please note, the fanfic is supposed to take place in gen 1 and the rival must have Blastoise and an eeveelution. Chari/ Charizard -Flamethrower -Fire blast -seismic toss -Dragon rage Poli/ Poliwrath -hydro pump -hypnosis -strength -surf Pika/ Pikachu -thunder -quick attack -thunder wave -swift Snor/ Snorlax -Hyper beam -body slam -rest -earthquake Aero/ Aerodactyl -wing attack -hyper beam -fly -rage Jewel/ Ninetales -flamethrower -confuse ray -fire blast -Toxic for the few people who have read the first 4 chapters of the fanfic I'm talking about, please don't say anything about it.

Here's the setup: Blastoise Jolteon Hitmonchan/Machamp Lapras Golem Flareon Blastoise and probably Jolteon for the Eeveelution, I'd say. Blastoise counters Chari fine. Jolteon takes care of Poli without being a Psychic-Type (since there's only one that a rival would understandably have in Gen 1), as well as being weak to Snor's Earthquake. I say a Fighting-Type like Machamp or Hitmonchan to go against Snor, as well as being weak to Aero. For Aero, I don't have much. An Ice-Type like Lapras is all I can come up with, but Ice < Fire, so Jewel would be good. Golem can Earthquake Jewel, and be weak to Poli. Flareon for coverage. Good luck, and I love the fic! #MissingNo
