We want to pick up a Magnemite at the Power Plant as Magnezone fills both our slot for a special attack sweeper, and covers all of Dragonite's weaknesses which is why Magnezone is a staple on competitive Dragonite teams.

Still want a cute Magnet, plus we do need an answer to fairies if we are going to Mount Moon at any point later.
Longer run though, I want a Teleporter that allows us to revisit cities.

I do agree with adding a magnemite to the team, but I do think there's something worthwhile in spending another week in Cerulean
We could do a rival battle with Willow, call our family, and then travel up to the power plant with a journey companion who can back us up in event of a rocket encounter
Edited to change from swimming to parent call

Chansey/Blissey learn Teleport.
We'll be heading down the coast for the next several locations so we'll be able to learn underwater cave diving at any of those places. I'd suggest you get a head start on your other plans instead as a result like getting Willow as a companion.

How do you expect me to do that? 8?
The options to vote from change a bit per location. There's only so much planning ahead that I or any other reader can realistically do beyond gyms, contests, or team acquisitions and movesets.
Willow would have to catch up to Violet at the rate we move through areas, tho I'll admit it doesnt have to be Willow
And fair on cave diving. I care more about the swimming part.. as I feel cave diving itself borders a suicidal activity, but Im not the qm writing it.
Guess I'll change my vote for the other option that isnt the power plant one.

I will say that Willow does tend to move between cities a lot more than Violet, so you don't really have to worry about her not being an option. Just due to her wanting a rematch.
As for the options changing from each location, there are some things that can be planned around as you mentioned here. Moreover, generally each city/town is going to have its own unique activity such as the caving/swimming of Cerulean City (Saffron didn't have that due to early quest times). Said unique activity is admittedly harder to predict, partly due to me preferring to plan things as I go
And IRL cave diving is definitely absurdly dangerous. The only reason it isn't in this quest is a combination of it operating off of Pokemon logic as well as having Pokemon that can live underwater.

I mean tbh I'm the same way wrt "plan as I go". the last thing I wanna do is ask a QM / someone working on their thing to lay everything out.
yknow, good point. I did think of it wrt "Well in anipoke the characters use rebreathers and go diving a fair bit in some episodes and seasons, mainly misty-involved ones, so idk its probably fine", but not thinking as deeply as "if something happens local mons would probably help a kid"

I also assume that it depends on which parts of a cave you go to, and which cave it is. On a place like Mount Moon, you are generally safer as long as you stay on the most direct and well travelled path between Cerulean and Pewter City that's regularly patrolled by rangers. Meanwhile, Cerulean Cave has areas even more dangerous than IRL Cave Diving thanks to the power of the Wild Pokemon inside.

I was actually thinking of trained Water Pokemon that'd ensure safety in the caves, but wild Pokemon as well are likely to help out if needed.
Definitely, going to those locations would be far more dangerous unless you have equally strong Pokemon.

Alright, time for me to close the vote. Looks like you'll be heading to the Power Plant after the battle with Misty. And due to this being a 1 badge fight, you don't have to face her Starmie which is good, as that thing would have been difficult to say the least. Instead you get to fight a Psyduck and Staryu (psyduck first)

Psyduck is vulnerable to the exact same strategy that took out Shellder since Confusion is a special attacking move that only has a ten percent chance to actually confuse meaning Chansey can easily neuter its physical attacks before defeating it using Echoed Voice with minimal damage from its special attacking moves. Staryu due to having Rapid Spin though should be taken on by either Dratini or Pineco since Chansey would just let it stack speed buffs until it became impossible to hit, and we lose by default.
I prefer Dratini to be honest with Pineco as an emergency back up as it'd be rather anticlimactic although quite funny to just Pineco grenade our way to our first gym badge.

Just noticed this, but the wording seems to suggest that if Pineco uses self destruct at 2% HP then Sturdy will still take place. We could try getting a couple of attacks off first, and then self destructing, so that subpar rolls don't let our opponent survive. Also, can Pinceo self destruct twice in a row?

Pineco can self destruct twice in a row. But practically speaking, it'll be rare for it to be able to pull it off due to her slow speed.

Agreed
Im in favor with Chansey for Psyduck, then opening with either Pineco Explosion or Dratini twister for Staryu.
So it goes like:
1) Chansey vs Psyduck. Chansey can't really lose here.
2) Sends Staryu, Switch Chansey out for
2a) Pineco, Staryu goes first, hits Pineco, but doesn't matter, can't take down Pineco in one round. Explosion.
3a) If Staryu goes down, win. If not, badly damaged Staryu will engage Dratini, who should win a straight slugging match. If Dratini gets shit luck, Chansey will go up against a Staryu on last legs, which should be game even with the disadvantages.
2b) Dratini. Slugging match, could go either way.
3b) If Staryu goes down, win. If not, damaged Staryu will engage Pineco, who will Explode and take out Staryu(assuming no miss), leaving Chansey vs nothing.
Chansey -> Pineco -> Dratini seems the most consistent.

Ok hear me out, when we head to the power plant rather than magnemite we catch Voltorb, then we catch Geodude from the nearby cave, then we grab a koffing somewhere and become the ultimate grenade gremlin.

Frankly there's worse plans
An alolan golem would be an interesting teammate frankly
Its a bit of a glass jaw strategy.

We were already heavily favored to win before picking up Chansey since Pineco is liable to one-shot Staryu on anything except a high roll anyway so I motion we make this a bit more entertaining, and get some more actual value from this in the form of training Dratini by deploying Dratini before Pineco. It's not optimal for winning this battle but we're so heavily favored to win anyways it shouldn't matter, and we get a more entertaining fight plus better long-term results.
