Typlosion.Give it Fire Blast/Flamethower,thunderpunch,earthquake,HP ice/rest.
Fire blast/Flamethower works well with its great special attack.THunderpunch can catch water types on the swich.EQ can kill things FireBlast,ThunderPunch can't.HP ice is for dragonite,or else you can use rest.

pikachu146 dragonite are weak to electric been part flying, use HP Ice it take care of dragons ground/rock types. Rest is better though if you do equip a mint berry.

Charizard needs belly drum/earthquake - both of which you can get from yellow, breed to get a male baby snorlax then trade to B/G/R/Y teach eaethquake, trade back, level up to level 22 i think then breed with a female charmander/charmelon/charizard. it also needs flamethrower and rock slide which an also be taught to snorlax on R/B/Y with earthquake.

Magmar needs Fire Blast, Thunderpunch, Cross Chop which can only be obtained on crystal by breeding with machop, thunder punch by breeding with hitmonchan and suny day via tm.

Movesets from the sir chris list.

This is incorrect, as Dragon is Resistant and Flying is Weak, Dragonite is neutral to Electric.

Charizard works fine ingame without belly drum, swords dance is also a good option.

You can teach Magmar thunderpunch via tm, there is no need to breed for it.
Magmar also learns sunny day on lv.33 I believe, so you don't need to waste a tm to get it on his moveset.

Typhlosion. But that's just my personal preferance. I hate Charizard & it's popularity. Go for Charizard if you're a cheesy boy.

I like Typhlosion and even though it has a limited Movepool, it's big enough to do something with Thunderpunch, EQ [not sure if it is available in GSC] and Flamethrower.
 
Go with Typloshion. It's fast, has high special attack, and it can learn Thunrderpunch via TM to take care of water and flying types. I think Magmar can learn it too, but I think Typhlosion has better stats. I'm not quite sure though. I don't pay much attention to Magmar, since I've never used one :/

My pick would be Magmar because I have a soft spot for UU's, Charizard stinks, and Typhlosion is a starter which I don't use much.

Typhosion for sure. My typhlosion is the ultimite weapon with: fire punch, ice punch, dynamic punch, and flamethrower. Trust me you will need theese attacks to battle red especially dynamic punch

I had multiple Typhlosions due to the glitch in the game. My cousin tought me how to "clone" Pokemon. I always had Dynamic Punch but it never worked. It's hard decision to make, that is between Typhlosion and Charizard.

Well...depends on what u need.Typhlosion has high special attack and speed.A best moveset for him would be Flamethrower/Fire Blast,Sunny Day,Thunderpunch,Earthquake.With this moveset it makes him able to cover some weaknesses.Thunderpunch to take out water type.

Charizard has high Special Attack and Speed too and great Attack.Charizard works better as a Physical Sweeper.This moveset is the best for Charizard Flamethrower/Fire BLast/Belly Drum,Rock Slide,Earthqauke.You will need to do some breeding to get this Charizard.Just get a Snorlax and trade it to RBY to get Rock Slide and trade it back to GSC.Have it learn Belly Drum and breed it with Charizard.

Magmar has high Attack,Special Attack, and good Speed.A good moveset for Magmar would be Flamethrower/Fire Blast,Confuse Ray,Thunderpunch,Cross Chop.You need to breed this with a male Machamp on crystal.

IMO I would say to go with either Typhlosion or Charizard.
