pic related is the only way I can think of handling it without going overkill. seriously some in this thread are making midgame gyms have teams with coverage similar to Plat's Candice, way too much.
Only thing im uncertain of is keeping the metapod/kakuna and replacing Scyther with Yanma, but that'd probably be too easy and not use fury cutter. I guess you could keep the pidgeotto and sub in hoothoot for falkner
>level hacked noctowl for something that requires a decently trained starter
>early route johto bugs to help showcase the other version while scyther carries still
>misdreavus as the sole ghost addition for a surprise psybeam on crobats or something
>hitmontop because its new but similar to bugsy wont really change the way his team works (rock slider and dynamic punch abuse)
