Psyduck (Michael Haigney)
Squirtle (Eric Stuart)
Poliwag (Rachael Lillis)
Jigglypuff (Rachael Lillis)
Poliwhirl (Eric Stuart)
Snorlax (Michael Haigney)
Scyther (Eric Stuart)

Gen II:

Totodile (Kayzie Rogers)
Cyndaquil (Kayzie Rogers)
Scizor (Eric Stuart)
Politoed (Eric Stuart)

I agree with you, how did I forget Maddie's Corphish? It was perfectly cast in AG, my favorite dub voice from then too.

It was so good, Bill Rogers back then even asked Maddie Blaustein for advice on Serebii for how to do his in BF.

 

[R.O.B.]

Gen 1: Vulpix, starters, Psyduck, Diglett and Dugtrio, Porygon (heard in Who's That Pokemon?) - best is probably Psyduck
Gen 2: starters, Marill, Larvitar, Wobbuffet (Kayzie Rogers), Phanpy, Corsola, Scizor - best is probably Phanpy or Scizor
Gen 3: Corphish, starters, SeVIII-PER!
Gen 4: Garchomp, Chimchar and Turtwig lines, Starly
Gen 5: Snivy, Oshawott
Gen 6: Frogadier

Trivia: Eric Stuart said Squirtle was his favorite Pokemon to voice in the dub because it was his first. He voiced both Ash's Squirtle and May's Squirtle in the original 4Kids Pokémon English dub from September 8, 1998 to its end in September 19, 2006, and stock audio archive of his performances as Squirtle as well as Gary's Blastoise lasted into the current TPCi dub of Pokémon during Battle Frontier through Diamond & Pearl season 1 until finally being scrapped after February 2008.

I agree it's one of the best dub voices for Pokémon they ever came up with, IMO.

For me: Greninja, Cinderace, Inteleon, Skowvet, Fletchling, Bruxish, Rowlet, Litten, Hawlucha, Duraladon and the Clef Line in General.

On the Cleffa to Clefable line, that’s an interesting choice, I liked that whole set too.

Found a few clips because nostalgia here, but I think it’s Tara Jayne Sands as the line along with Rachael Lillis.

Totodile!! It's dub voice made me love the little guy even more!! I wish Kayzie Rogers was still actively voicing it.

I find it interesting she was given both Totodile and Cyndaquil, but I think Kayzie did a great job as both in the dub (the less said on her human roles, the better for me, I have no comment on those— why 4Kids and TPCi thought her vocal timbre was good for little boys especially sometimes I’ll never know, always jarring for me there on the flip side and it came to a boil with her Max rendition).

She was also the best dub Wobbuffet to me, but I surprisingly don’t mind Erica’s much: a bit more nasal, but not a drastic difference unlike many IMO.

Human characters aside, I really liked how she portrayed many of the Pokemon that she voiced.

She was great at making Pokemon that were supposed to be wacky, "sound wacky". Like Wobuffet, Wynaut, Mr. Mime, Totodile.

She was also great at making the baby, or "cute" Pokemon sound so adorable! Pokemon like Cyndaquil, Axew, Azurril (and it's evolution line) Swinub, Smoochum, etc.
