Realistically all 3 are sitting in the sidelines in their original generation if you take things beyond ingame where everything works.
>Venusaur is Victreebel without Gen 1 Wrap. It is admitedly faster & bulkier so in a context where the big boys aren't out these strengths can outshine Wrap.
>Blastoise is a water type of all time. There's almost a dozen better Waters than it. Starrmie, Slowbro, Cloyster, Lapras, Omastar, Vaporeon, Gyarados...
>Charizard pre Special split has 85 Special, hitting as hard as such behemoths as Gloom and Weepinbell, and Fire didnt resist Ice back then, in a Blizzard spam generation. It's barely saved by access to Swords Dance, good physical move, and good speed. Once its in a place where only 1 or 2 Pokémon in the tier can outspeed it, its an ok cleaner.
