Hrm. I admire your intentions. I'll see what I can do to help you out...

1) No complaints about any of your Pokemon. Just one thing... you've got a dearth of good basics. Magikarp and Clefairy tend to die very fast when left to fend for themselves. To combat this, I'd probably add in a fourth Scyther and a couple of other basics. Either Lapras or Kangaskhan would be good bets. I'll go with Lapras here since you already have psychic resistance. Also... seriously think about Dark Gyarados. The more I look at this guy, the more I have to like him. A decent amount of HP, a good attack, and a kickass power... and the artwork is great too. Just a thought, and go with what works for you. I wouldn't by any means run out and trade for 3 Dark Gyarados on the spot.

2) Trainers... very good. Except for Potion. I don't really like Potion. Case in point: today at League I was playing a rather good player who had Potion in his deck. While I must admit it was annoying every time he Potion'd away the fruits of my Magmar's valiant efforts, it seemed like he wasn't able to do much else. Eventually he ran out of Potions and I overpowered him. Now, if he'd been running something else in those slots... say, Bill...Oak...Search... or even Energy... Speaking of Search, you need a couple in here. Two or three should do ya. Energy Retrieval might also be nice if you're going to be cutting the amount of water energy, as we'll see...

3) Energy. Even with taking out the potions, we'll need to drop a few energies, but that should be fine. And yes, I think taking out some water for Potion Energies would be a good idea, since you've only got two Poke with a colored attack. Just remember that you can't retrieve non-basic energies....
