    Haven't battled him yet, but I'm planning on using my EV trained Pokemon. Hopefully I won't have any trouble with his Pokemon since I'm planning on having all my Pokemon Lv.100. :classic:

    It was pretty hard when actually. Pikachu killed my Espeon with Volt Tackle, I sent out Meganium, to get killed by Iron Tail, Sent Typhlosion out and died with Volt Tackle, Feraligatr was sent out and Pikachu killed it with its last VT. 4 Pokemon die because of a NFE Pokemon :P

    I used:

    Tyranitar - Lv. 68 - Earthquake took care of Pikachu
    Mewtwo - Lv. 74 - Ice Beam & Thunderbolt take care of everything else

    Snorlax is pretty easy to get even with just Ice Beam and Thunderbolt from Mewtwo. Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise are hit super-effective. I don't know what his last Pokemon is... And just so you know, I did have others on my team, I just didn't use them.

    Well I finally caved and brought in Staraptor, Gengar and Rhyperior (from my Diamond) to battle Red. They were in their 70s (except for Rhyperior which was at 60) and I found it relatively easy.

    Seriously people. If you made a decent team at all, you can beat him with low level Pokemon. Learn to make better teams if you're sucking that bad against him.

    I had a good team with low level pokemon. It just so happened that Red's pokemon were lucky pieces of $#!t. I hardly think that landing critical hit after critical hit is skill lololol.

    Plus I only attempted it like 3 times before bringing in the other guys. Haha

    You have to have a balanced team. The snorlax is probably the hardest to beat due to its high defense and hp

    Actually Snorlax is the easiest member of his party as it lost its rest and all that its not really a good wall...and it has special attacks that he mostly uses...Crunch and Giga are rare but Giga HURTS...he is the easiest...but isn't easy...his strongest is either Blastoise, Lapras, or Charizard...Haven't found out yet...just use strong Electric, Fighting, etc and he is done.

    I beat Red with a Tyranitar at level 86 and a level 3 onix.
    He isn't that tough.
    Do you want a cookie?

    I decided i'd go for a challenge this time around, went in with lvl 62- pokemon with some decent breeding stats/EV's

    Mamoswine62
    Dragonite61 (with OMG FLY!)
    Houndoom55
    Scizor52
    Jolteon61
    and an HM Slave

    Pretty much used Scizor as a Bper and swept with double SD's Mamoswine for majority of the pokemon.

    I outanked Red's pikachu with my lvl 75 swampert, hammer armed his snorlax, and swept the rest with my lvl 70 starmie

    it was a lot easier then i thought it would be.

    I swept Red's team with lv78 (8 rare candies, no training) Mewtwo's psychic. I had to use 2 x-special attacks however. I don't think I needed to use those rare candies.... but oh well, it's past.

    All of you guys are making me AFRAID of Red.

    My highest Pokemon level is 56, and that's Lugia. Plus, I'm not even using Lugia, so that's pointless. I need to SERIOUSLY train...
