• Bagon: Starter
• Dratini: 2nd badge, (Surf)
• Flygon: Trapinch after 3rd badge
• Altaria: After 4th
• Kingdra: 8th

So Bagon is gunna be traded (rough start)
Dratini also traded over - I couldn't really place it anywhere else, trapinch, swablou are avaliable after 3/4 (longest part of the game)
Which would mean a lot of grinding late game otherwise.

Thoughts on order? Arguably Dratini starter and then grind for mence later
