It was my first time playing the JP-only Green version, and I actually ended up using a couple of Pokemon that I've rarely (or possibly even never) used in a playthrough before. Beyond what I have listed here, I also used the Mew Glitch to catch a Mew to use as my HM mule for Cut, Fly, and Flash, but aside from that I didn't use any other major glitches like item duplication or stuff like that. Here's the team I used:

Blastoise = Surf, Ice Beam, Strength, Withdraw
Clefable = Double-Edge, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave (I replaced Psychic with Blizzard before Lance in the E4)
Victreebel = Razor Leaf, Body Slam, Swords Dance, Sleep Powder
Ninetales = Flamethrower, Dig, Quick Attack, Confuse Ray
Dodrio = Drill Peck, Tri-Attack, Hyper Beam, Agility
Sandslash = Earthquake, Rock Slide, Slash, Sand-Attack

I can't remember a single time that I've ever used Victreebel or Dodrio in a playthrough before, so those two were both brand new for me. Holding off on evolving Weepinbell until level 38 (so it learned Razor Leaf) and Vulpix until level 35 (so it learned Flamethrower) was annoying for a bit, but it paid off in the end. Sandslash was added to the team really late in the game (as in, I literally caught it on the route leading to Victory Road) so I went through most of the game with only the first 5 Pokemon and my HM mule Mew at the bottom of my team.
