[GUIDE] Campaign Team Building in Pokémon Silver/Gold/Crystal

[RetroTyphlosion]

@PerchPond As someone who played Silver three times, I'd like to make some suggestions. 

Mean Look actually has no effect on the legendary beasts.  If you mean look a beast, it will just use Roar and the fight will end. The best way to catch a beast is with a Master Ball. Other than that, you need insane luck.

Lanturn is not a great waterslave as it is unavailable until Kanto. 

Marowak is a good False Swipe substitute for Scyther if you can't find one in the Bug Catching Contest.

The best options for Flyers are Fearow and Pidgeot as they are found early on in the game.

Furret should be a team essential as it learns all sorts of HMs, and can even fill all four slots with HM moves.

If you picked Chikorita and need help with the first two gyms, a commonly found Bellsprout can be traded in the first town with an NPC for a powerful Onix, which pretty much wrecks the first two gyms.

All in all, you wrote a great guide, Perch. Rep given.
