The {{bp|Zapdos}} you may already have is great against his Pidgeot and Gyarados (or Blastoise) in Blue/Red, as well as the Cloyster or Vaporeon in Yellow.  And anything with Surf can wipe out the Blue/Red Rhydon or Yellow Sandslash, plus the Fire-type Arcanine, Ninetails, Charizard or Flareon.  Ice attacks beat Venusaur and the terribly weak Exeggutor, not to mention Rhydon and Sandslash if you're pressed for good Water types (which you shouldn't be, but still,) so your only real worries are the Alakazam, and the Electric-types in Yellow (Jolteon is especially nasty).

Alakazam is probably the toughest of Blue's Pokémon.  If you have {{bp|Jolteon}}, Pin Missile is good.  Otherwise you'll have to use a {{bp|Parasect}} or just throw your strongest attacks at him until he forgets to Recover (Psychics with non-Psychic abilities, like {{bp|Slowbro}} and {{bp|Exeggutor}}, are also good, or other Pokémon with very high speed and physical attack power, such as {{bp|Dugtrio}} and {{bp|Aerodactyl}}).  If you're lucky enough to have a Hypno or Gengar with higher speed than his Alakazam, and it knows the Hypnosis/Dream Eater combo, it might be worth it to give that a shot.  Dream Eater can almost dish out enough damage to make up for only dealing half damage to Psychics, but be warned: if your Pokémon isn't fast enough to go first, you could wind up wasting a Dream Eater on a suddenly awake Alakazam, and even worse, he might Recover and waste all your hard work.  Jolteon and Magneton are weak against Ground-types, so {{bp|Dugtrio}} (or anyone with Dig) is good, but your own {{bp|Jolteon}} or {{bp|Zapdos}} can do well by sticking to their non-Electric attacks.
