I don't know why I have Rest lol. Explosion is awesome, this thing kills Starmie every time.

You have Rest because you care for the health of your Pokemon, of course.

What can anyone say about this team--it's strong, well-rounded. Perfect enough. Actually, the more I look at it, the more I realize that I really do like the Pokemon you've chosen for this team. In fact, the next team I play standard, I plan on using nearly identical Pokemon.

Maybe try Supersonic on Cloyster, or maybe even Clamp (to allow for the mid-technique switch-out of course). On Alakazam, maybe Disable over Reflect as well... depends on what you plan on going to enact. It's funny that Alakazam has two fourth-choice moves with physical functions, one for physical attackers (Reflect) and one for special attackers (Disable until you get Recover, and thus force a switch-out at the very least), but of course there's usually no room for both of them unless you abandon Thunderwave. Oh yeah, and maybe Ice Beam over Substitute on Rhydon, for hax.

Your team is excellent except I have a few recommendations.

Jynx: Blizzard and Psychic are great for STAB, but with Jynx's low attack stat, I don't think that Body Slam is really worth it. I would consider Reflect to support Jynx's low defense.

Alakazam: your moveset's fine, but you may want to consider Seismic Toss.

Snorlax: ok but rest makes you vulnerable.

Starmie: this works, but trading to GSC for Confuse Ray would be excellent. Starmie with parafusion is awesome.

Rhydon: great

Cloyster: ok

Comments: Your team is very good. However, you may want to watch your types. You're weak against bug, grass, and fighting pokemon, which are relatively minor. Your movesets are fine, but I think it would've been nicer if you had more balance in your types. 3 psychics, 2 ice pokemon, and 2 water types seem a little repetitive, but other than that small thing, your team is wonderful. Nice work.

RBY is stacked towards those types. Psychics are basically tantamount to victory in RBY.

One suggestion-

Alakazam- I don't see any need for Reflect, I would replace with a special move (Ice, Electric, etc.) to make it more rounded.

This is a pure RBY team.
