Pokémon Stadium - Best movesets for each Cup

[gumnas]

This is something I've been working for the longest time, and I would really appreciate some insight from Gen I specialists. I wanted to created a movesets list for each Cup in Pokémon Stadium. Bear in mind though those are supposed to be used to beat the game, not to use against other human players. Of course, team and Pokémon level may have an impact on each set, but since Gen I have very restricted options of move, I don't think this matters too much on most cases. Also, some moves requires a certain level to be used, and I will provide the information when needed on each set. I also attached files with the entire movepool for the Pokémon on each cup.

Important notes for all Cups:
- All battles are 3x3
- Sleep and Freeze clauses are always enabled.
- No move restrictions (i.e. Double Team and OHKO moves are fine)
- Sleep is nerfed and last from 1 to 3 turns at most, counting the turn the Pokémon woke up i.e. it can woke up immediately.
- Hyper Beam is nerfed and will always require a recharge, even if it k.o. the opponent or if it misses.
- Partial Trapping moves are nerfed and ends as soon as any Pokémon in the field switches out, but it can still give the player a free switch.
- The AI almost always goes for a Status move before attacking if it has a chance, so Substitute is very good on fast Pokémon.

Anyway, here are the sets I came up with:

Petit Cup
Petit Cup w/ Tradebacks
Pika Cup
Pika Cup w/ Tradebacks
Poké Cup
Poké Cup w/ Tradebacks

I know this thread. I even posted there lol. It's not the same thing. That thread is supposed to be for competitive play, human x human. Mine is casual play, to try to beat the game. The approach is different.

What about tradeback moves? Since this is for single-player, is there really any reason to NOT use them. Off the top of my head there are the following:

-Fire Spin Arcanine
-Fly Dragonite
-Razor Leaf Vileplume
-Dig Kingler/Kabutops
-Amnesia Nidoking/Clefable/Persian/Kingler/Tangela
-A crapton of Pokemon that can learn the Elemental Punches via TM and Flamethrower via the Crystal Move Tutor

I actually made both versions, with and without the tradebacks, for each cup. I just decided to post the one without tradebacks because a feel like some people don't like using tradebacks, but I would had no problem in add both versions to the first post.

EDIT: I updated the first post adding Tradebacks to the Petit Cup and Pika Cup Learnsets. Also decided to move all movesets to pokepaste since it looks better that way and is easier to compare sets, and also added sets to be used with tradebacks. I will update Poké Cup later.
EDIT 2: Poké Cup is now updated too.
