Should I use Primeape or Hitmonlee for my Red playthrough?

Which fighting type should I use for my playthrough?If you need the rest of my team here it is…..VenasaurStarmieArcanineDugtrioDodrioPrimeape/Hitmonlee

Or maybe I just skip a fighting type and add Jolteon or Dragonite?

I’m pretty sure Jolteon is better than every fighting Pokemon in the game because thunderbolt is stronger than every fighting attack in the game. So just use that. Don’t use Dragonite, because evolving a Dragonite is probably harder than beating the game without it.source

If that was my team I would skip the fighting type and add dragonite. Primeape and HItmonlee are both good Pokemon but not the best especially for late game. Jolteon is good due to its high speed, Sp Atk, and Sp Def. The only problem is its lack of good moves based on leveling and most of the electric type moves it learns from TMs are learnt by leveling. That’s why you should use Dragonite instead. It has high stats all across and has good moves. It can learn Hyper Beam and if you have the TM/HMs it can learn ice moves, fire moves, and electric moves. Those include Blizzard, Thunder, and Fire Blasts. With the HMs it can learn Surf which is really helpful when moving around but also quite strong in battle. That’s why you should skip the Primeape/Hitmonlee and use a Dragonite. Also Jolteon doesn’t get extremely good moves at low levels until Gen 6. In a few earlier gens (4 and 5) it learns Thunder at about level 70 and Discharge (gen 5) at about level 80. So go for the Dragonite.
