GASP! THE TIER LIST LEADER ACTUALLY UPDATED RELATIVELY FAST! WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT!
Endgame time! I didn't really use Beedrill because mine lacked Swords Dance, but I think it's probably C with it according to Ryota.
And now, the tiers!
Charmander: B tier. Post Charizard it feels like an A, but it's not watertight even then with Lance and Lorelei giving it issues. Anything before Slash/Zard is heavily mediocre and a clear step below A tier in my eyes. No way it's C though.
Drowzee: A tier. S tier until the League where it consistently has some issues which keep it from S (it hates status and the fact Psychic doesn't hit a lot SE/OHKO anymore). The lack of Speed also hurts it at the League, but it still remains generally useful.
Beedrill: C tier and no higher. Midgame is good but it desperately needs the Swords Dance TM to even remain remotely relevant.
Chansey: D tier, sucks to get and invest in but if you do I don't think it's like, Ditto or Moltres levels of awful. Could be argued for E based on needing two TMs and being a pain to get, as well as consistently missing KOs you'd think it'd get, but I don't think it's E levels of bad, particularly due to being far and away the best check to Alakazam (not even two critical hit Psychics from Blue's Alakazam 2HKO you)!
Shellder: Just barely a B tier in my eyes. Doesn't have the greatest League ever, but is generally solid there and everywhere else. Low level of 15 at the earliest opportunity sucks but if you DO go for it it performs pretty good. Could be argued for C tier.
I think I'm going to comb through the pages soon and move some things based on mine, Ryota's and others' tests. Stay tuned! Might pick Yellow back up soon and finish that off, but I don't know if I'll test for a while after that as I'm very much still burned out.

Charizard (51): Slash 3HKOs Dewgong while Aurora Beam 3HKOs you. Cloyster is 2HKOed by Flamethrower but watch out for Clamp. Slowbro easily finishes you off; Slash looks like a 5HKO. Oddly Jynx lives Flamethrower and Slash in red and Lapras looks like a 5HKO with Slash (and destroys you with Blizzard). Weirdly, Charizard can take a Hydro Pump from Lapras at full though.
Hypno (51): Psychic is a range to 2HKO Dewgong (if you get Special drop on first hit, you easily 2HKO). Cloyster is cleanly 2HKOed as you do 3/4s of its HP with Psychic. Slowbro is 4HKOed by Psychic, but Hypnosis and Special drops from Psychic mean you cheese through it. Jynx seems 34HKOed by Tri Attack. Lapras is 3HKOed by Psychic.
Cloyster (51): Meh obviously. You can cheese anything sans Jynx (3HKOed by Double-Edge) with Clamp, but this is just not efficient. You take out about 3/4s of foe Cloyster's HP with Explosion and knock Lapras to red with it.
Beedrill (51): No. You outspeed and barely OHKO Jynx with Twineedle though,
Chansey (51): Generally 2HKOS things with Thunderbolt (save Jynx which is a 3HKO), though Cloyster is a range to OHKO. Their physical attacks will wear you down, so a full sweep is unfeasible, mostly thanks to Jynx. Lapras can be beaten one-on-one; Thunderbolt seems a range to 2HKO but you can live even crit Blizzards easily.
Hypno (51): Psychic is a range to 2HKO Dewgong (if you get Special drop on first hit, you easily 2HKO). Cloyster is cleanly 2HKOed as you do 3/4s of its HP with Psychic.

Charizard (51): Flamethrower 2HKOs both Onix, OHKOs Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, and roughly 2HKOs Machamp (burn helped close the gap first time though). You will likely 3HKO Machamp unless you have Fire Blast, though I didn’t try it. Still, you tank Submission easily, so easy sweep.
Hypno (51): Hypno used Psychic! Everything is outsped and OHKOed.
Cloyster (51): Everything is OHKOed by Surf save Machamp (which looks like a rough 2HKO). You seem to outspeed everything save Hitmonlee here, but Bruno tends to X Defend on it. Easy sweep.
Beedrill (51): No.
Chansey (51): Everything is OHKOed by Psychic sans Machamp which is 2HKOed, but them all outspeeding you is troubling. Reflect on the first Onix can help though. With Reflect up, Chansey can actually live Machamp’s Submission in low HP and let it recoil itself to death (or simply kill it with Psychic). Easy sweep more or less if you get lucky, though I did have one failed attempt too.

Agatha
Charizard (51): 2HKOs Poisons with Dig (sans Haunter which is OHKOed) and is pretty nice because you outspeed most things too save the last Gengar. Flamethrower does NOT seem to 2HKO Golbat but it does 2HKO Arbok. xFairly easy sweep!
Hypno (51): Psychic OHKOs everything save the two Gengar, but this isn’t really a sweep because Hypnosis and Confuse Ray are just annoying.
Cloyster (51): Bad. Ice Beam roughly 3HKOS the first Gengar. Night Shade 3HKOs which sucks with Hypnosis. Also 3HKOs Haunter. Ice Beam even looks like a range to OHKO Golbat and it 2HKOs Haunter.
Beedrill (51): No. I mean I guess you could take Arbok, but that’s like…Arbok, lol.
Chansey (51): Standard Agatha really. You 2HKO everything sans the level 60 Gengar with Psychic. Annoying because status. Note Thunderbolt + Psychic does 2HKO Haunter I guess.

(Hope my levels weren’t off here, I forgot to make a save state)
Charizard (52): Unlike Ryota, my Charizard’s Slash failed to 3HKO Gyarados, but I did live Hydro Pump (I blame my low Attack IV). 2HKOs both Dragonair, easily living a crit Hyper Beam at half HP from full. Don’t bother with Aerodacytl, Flamethrower is like a 4HKO and confusion from Supersonic is just annoying. Dragonite is 4HKOed by Slash but you’re likely to get killed first. Did these tests with a bunch of Revives.
Hypno (51): 3HKOs Gyarados and 2HKOs both Dragonair with Psychic. You and Aerodactyl 2HKO each other with Psychic and Hyper Beam respectively. Psychic 4HKOs Dragonite and Hypnosis and Special drops really help here, but it 2HKOs you with Hyper Beam.
Cloyster (51): Ice Beam OHKOs everything save Aerodacytl which is a range. Gyarados is a slugfest via a 3HKO with Ice Beam but you can Clamp it (Leer can make you more fragile though). Great as expected though, you should tank any stray Hyper Beams fine.
Beedrill (51): No.
Chansey (51): OHKOs Gyarados with Thunderbolt but Hyper Beam will OHKO you if it goes for it. 3HKOs Dragonair with Psychic unless you get a Special drop. Reflect can help but if even Dragonair crits at any time with Hyper Beam you just die. Thunderbolt 2HKOs Gyarados and Blizzard OHKOs both Dragonair and Dragonite, if you have it. Seems like Blizzard likely OHKOs Aerodactyl too.

Seems like Blizzard likely OHKOs Aerodactyl too.
Charizard (52): Pidgeot is 3HKOed by Flamethrower. Rhydon can’t really kill you but Flamethrower looks like a rough 4HKO. Alakazam you generally beat as you can 2HKO it with Slash and it can derp, and Psybeam is only a 3HKO. Dig 2HKOs Arcanine and Flamethrower 2HKOs Exeggutor, albeit barely. Blastoise is like a 5HKO with Slash, so not advised.
Hypno (51): I set up Reflect once on Pidgeot who you 3HKO with Psychic. 2HKO Rhydon with Psychic. Alakazam is annoying with Reflect, but manageable if you sleep it and roll a crit Tri Attack which knocks it to half. Psychic 3HKOs Arcanine. Don’t bother with Exeggutor: it simply takes too long. Good for Blastoise; you 3HKO with Psychic and take paltry damage from his moves.
Cloyster (52): Ice Beam fails to OHKO Pidgeot, leaving it in red. Psybeam from Alakazam can hurt but you can 2HKO it with Double-Edge. Rhydon dies, Arcanine is left in red by Surf, Exeggutor is 3HKOed by Ice Beam, and Blastoise is a slugfest but it’s doing nothing with Bite (can flinch by outspeeding though), HOWEVER, you can beat it one on one if you come in at full HP. Pretty good!
Beedrill (51): Lol, you don’t even OHKO Exeggutor with Twineedle.
Chansey (53): Pidgeot is 2HKOed by Thunderbolt (Blizzard leaves it in red). Alakazam is Sing and Special drop fodder with Psychic (spam Thunderbolt once you get a Special drop, Thunderbolt is a 4HKO otherwise). Rhydon seems to be 3HKOed by Psychic if my crit was any indication (it is OHKOed by Blizzard). Avoid Exeggutor: Stomp is a 3HKO and even if you have Blizzard, it seems like a bad range to 2HKO. Arcanine is 4HKOed by Psychic. Bite from Blastoise does a chunk but you impressively 2HKO it with Thunderbolt. Kinda mediocre.
