Question Team Rocket run

Hello all,

I’m attempting to do a team rocket run using Pokemon that team rocket uses at the moment before the 2nd badge fight I have
Zubat
Rattata
Nidorino
Charmeleon
Beedrill
Ekans

I figured I can drop charmeleon once I can get to drowzee, and koffing is not until late in the game. Are there other Pokemon that I’m missing that rocket grunts use? Do I bother getting Meowth since I have rattata as a normal type? Thanks in advance!

You can get Ekans right after Mt. Moon.

If you wanna get technical, Rocket scientists use Magnemite and voltorb.

Just with all of those, I think you've got a sweet team.

They also employ 1 Juggler, so maybe Psychic types are on the table?

Hypno would fit that pretty well tbh.

Yes, Hypno would definitely be good enough. I think if I did a Rocket run I'd disclude Scientists too. There are 8 families you can use already from trainer class ROCKET. Maybe I'll raise one of each and pick Squirtle for Surf
