I think you should get rid of either starmie or slowbro considering they are easily beaten by mewtwo who more or less does the same job as both of them. I'd replace one of those with exeggcutor so that you have a pokemon with a sleep enducing move, a paralysis move, and the ability to blow up. Considering this team is pig standard, you may want a tauros in there as well considering he's definitely one of thebest pokemon in RBY.
Nice team though.

Thanks for the suggestions.I'm seriously considering altering my Snorlax now.
You could go for amnesia lax for a bit of variation nation innovation but eh, that'd leave you with way too many special sweepers.
Aye. I was using Sandslash as a physical sweeper, but due to it's many weaknesses, I often found myself unable to power it up with Swords Dance before being able to do a seriously damaging attack. So I decided to go for Snorlax. Then again, I've only just added a physical sweeper back into my team.
On another note, the next battles I'll be having will be with Mewtwo banned, so I was thinking of using a Hypno with Psychic, Thunder Wave, Haze (tradeback) and possibly Hypnosis. This wouldn't replace Mewtwo, but it would give me a hazer/annoyer with which to enhance my tactics.
What do you guys think?

Haze is pointless in RBY. Hypnosis and Thunder Wave conflict. I'd suggest Substitute and either Rest/Seismic Toss.
Good point about Substitute - that could help a lot, thanks.
I would quite like a hazer on my team, as my friend and I tend to have huge tank battles, in which Haze could be a very valuable move. Recently he's tried to use Dodrio as a hazer, but since most of my tanks are well equiped to take out a Flying type, it's success has been limited. A Psychic hazer could be rather useful, I feel.

Alakazam does a better job than hypno on the most part.
Also, as RaZoR LeAf stated, Haze is pointless in RBY. It isn't necessary at all and really is a waste of a moveset. :/ However, I do disagree with him that hypnosis and thunder wave conflict considering they can be used well together; its similar to that of double powder on eggy. It can work.
But yeah as I said, Alakazam does a better job than hypno.
