The Truth: Old School (Base Set - Team Rocket)
Intro (Not as important, you can skip this!):
Mama always said to tell the Truth and she was right. Alakazam is too smart with an IQ of 5000 to be tricked. And doesn't that stink? Dark Vileplume will make sure of that, Dark Vileplume means you're grounded. No supporters, no trainers, no tools, no stadiums (except your room). You pet your pet Tentacool goodnight and fall asleep to the sound of a singing Jigglypuff. You wake up at the pokemon center with some Chansey there and some Doduo that ran away from Imakuni.

Strategy:
Either beat down/stall with Wigglytuff and Chansey early game while you set up your Dark Vileplume and Alakazam. Wigglytuff's sleep condition ensures that your opponent can't attack once in a while, while you hit for 60. That is if they themselves don't play Full Heal energy. Keep on hitting with Wigglytuff the rest of the game. If you notice that you have one prize left and need the extra damage, you can hit with Dodrio for Rage for 70 or if Chansey has the energy, then for 80. Challenge! is there in case you can trick the opponent into setting up Wigglytuff quick.
Evolve Dark Vileplume early if you need to, if you think you can manage to get Dark Gloom and Dodrio benched and Dark Vileplume active. Confuse Dark Vileplume with Dark Gloom's Pokemon Power: Pollen Stench, this will then shut down Dark Vileplume's Pokemon Power: Hayfever, which will allow you to play trainers and evolve Abra into Alakazam. Play Full Heal Energy on Dark Vileplume afterward, and then retreat (or play Switch).
If you are losing somehow and need a way to set back up, send up Mr.Mime and heal up to 20 damage using Tentacool's Cowardice Pokemon Power.
Additions:
I have thought of tinkering with Psyduck (Fossil) and Gust of Wind against Muk (Fossil) or 2 Mewtwo (Movie Promo). Either of those 2 spots could replace Mr.Mime and Tentacool.
