Here are the team of Pokémon in this video, which was decided by the random number generator.
P1 Team: Paras, Charmander, Raticate, Rhydon, Omastar, Krabby
CPU Team: Psyduck, Exeggcute, Scyther, Venusaur, Nidoran♂, Gengar

Then, I will list the moves for each Pokémon in battle, starting with my team.
Paras: Spore, Slash, Dig, Mega Drain
Charmander: Flamethrower, Slash, Dig, Fire Spin
Raticate: Hyper Fang, Hyper Beam, Focus Energy, Thunder
Rhydon: Dig, Strength, Thunder, Surf
Omastar: Hydro Pump, Submission, Spike Cannon, Withdraw
Krabby: Crabhammer, Guillotine, Double-Edge, Blizzard

The CPU's team of Pokémon and moves.
Psyduck: Surf, Confusion, Dig, Blizzard
Exeggcute: Psychic, Explosion, Leech Seed, Toxic
Scyther: Slash, Wing Attack, Leer, Double Team
Venusaur: Leech Seed, PoisonPowder, SolarBeam, Take Down
Nidoran♂: Blizzard, Body Slam, Focus Energy, Thunderbolt
Gengar: Thunderbolt, Night Shade, Hypnosis, Confuse Ray

One battle left, and the next Free Battle videos after that will be on Pokémon Stadium 2. As the CPU led with Scyther, I decided to switch out Raticate, which I led with in the battle, for Omastar, as it resists Scyther's attacks well, and I might need Raticate for later in the battle, while I do have Rhydon, its Thunder will do less than Omastar's Hydro Pump, and Rhydon is likely the only Pokémon that can stand up to Gengar, being immune to its only reliable attack, and it will take up to 4 uses of Night Shade from Gengar to bring down Rhydon.
I did check the Speed stats of some Pokémon, and while Charmander does have the type matchup against Venusaur, it has less Speed, and Venusaur can hit very hard with SolarBeam, while Paras is a better switch-in as it is 4x resistance to SolarBeam and can use Spore to put Venusaur to sleep. Charmander is even there to fight Exeggcute, but it does have to watch out for Explosion, and against Psyduck, while I have Paras for the type advantage, I have to watch out for Blizzard, and Raticate is better for it, I did read about how powerful Hyper Beam is after a use of Focus Energy, but as this is not the Game Boy games, the Pokémon will have to recharge even if Hyper Beam does defeat the opponent. Nidoran♂ did prove to be a tough opponent, as it did have Thunderbolt for the Water-types I have, and Blizzard for Paras and Rhydon, while not the most powerful Pokémon, it does have versatility which is what makes it stand out from many others.
