Okay so i just restarted my pokemon fire red 1 week ago, and so far i'm going to the 5th gym with:
Level 43 Charizard: Flame Thrower/Ember/Fly/Metal CLaw
Personally, I wouldn't use Charizard. Its strengths just don't outweigh its weaknesses. I would leave this spot open until you can pick up Aerodactyl, which is MUCH better:
Aerodactyl
Trait: Rock Head
- Aerial Ace
- Double-Edge
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
Straight up physical attacker and much more powerful than Charizard.
Level 45 Snorlax
- Body Slam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk/Curse
- Shadow Ball
Special attacks on Snorlax isn't helpful, while physical attacks really are. Plus, it takes advantage of its strengths. Since it is very strong against special attacks you can switch it in and we know what special attackers are typically prone to - physical attacks. Personally I would go with Curse, but you have to breed for it so that is out unless you have another game that you can trade it in. Sleep Talk is a great option when you combine it with Rest. Snorlax takes damage/status, use Rest to remove it and then Sleep Talk to still attack while you are asleep. Shadow Ball is for Ghosts, of course, making the need for Haunter/Gengar unnecessary.
Level 43 Raichu:
- Focus Punch
- Substitute
- Thunder Bolt
- Thunder Wave
Again, two attacking moves really isn't necessary. Go the SubPunch route instead to maximize its effectiveness.
Level 43 Kadabra:
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Recover/Fire Punch/Ice Punch
- Shock Wave/Thunderpunch
Not the best moveset unless you can breed the punches. Without it, Recover is your best option and then Shock Wave to give it another boosted attack. Hopefully you can evolve it to Alakazam.
HM Pokemon Meowth, and soon Lapras.
Lapras
- Ice Beam
- Sing/Protect/Toxic
- Surf
- Thunderbolt/Protect/Toxic
Lapras will be your bread and butter. Great stats and very versatile.
Can someone tell me what 6th pokemon should I get and what level should each pokemon be around for each gym?
And also, if the moves are garbage, can you help replace some with better ones?
Ty dH~
Edit: Where should I train each pokemon?
