Tauros, Chansey, and Snorlax are indeed the best. Great move pool via tm for normal types.

Yeah Normal is pretty broken in gen 1, STAB hyper beam is too good

Normal is legitimately the best type in Gen I, and is never a bad type to be given the relative rarity of Fighting Type moves.

Tauros + Hyper Beam is so good it's stupid, especially since getting a KO skips the recharge turn.

Although the biggest problem in Gen I is that Psychic has no hard counters, but that proves to only be an issue with Mewtwo and Alakazam, and in Alakazam's case, it's a combination of being extremely fast, being Psychic and Special impacting both SpA and SpD in that generation. Alakazam has unreasonably high special bulk in Gen I.

I remember when a friend of mine tried to tell me that Mew had a signature move called doomsday, typed nuclear.

Alakazam has literal shit HP and DEF. It's vulnerable to almost any OU physical attacker and some UU.

Which is great except for the fact that it outspeeds and OHKOs nearly all Pokemon in the game

Maybe in a setting that isn't competitive where people use Beedrills, but quite a few pokemon easily take it down. Snorlax, Slowbro, Tauros, Eggexecutor, etc.

I've been watching this guy's vids on Gen 1 Pokemon and the worst type isn't Bug (which has been the worst type pretty much since) but Fighting in Gen 1.
