    Pikachu was kinda a beast to beat, but I just killed him with my level 65 Garchomp.... go Earthquake!

    You dont get that much experience from a lv 88 Pikachu though... >_>

    I'm just happy he didn't decide to make it a Raichu yet, that would be a much tougher fight :paranoid:

    I OHKO his Pikachu with earthquake
    beat his Blastoise, Snorlax, and Lapras with my Electrivire
    beat his Charizard with my Feraligatr
    beat his Venasaur with my Arcanine..

    the only healing item I use is a Hyper Potion once on my Electivire so it lasts through all 3 Pokemon. :P I'm somewhat cheap but it works out

    I've heard as long as you bring plenty of revives he's easy. Hail takes 1/16th of his Pokemon's health each turn, so all of him Pokemon die in 16 turns aside from Lapras without you even attacking. So in 80 turns all of his Pokemon are dead if you don't factor in him healing them. But yeah, I thought he was easy.

    Lol.I'm glad he doesn't have an Espeon (Sabrina's killed my Politoed,Marowak,and Lugia without dropping into yellow health.I had to use Draco Meteor, then parahax with Dragonbreath to defeat her-Dialga rules.)

    Do you need HMs to get to him?Because if you do, I'll fail.Otherwise...

    Marowak will Bone (merang) that Pikachu, Politaro (Politoed) will Surf over Charizard, Bounce Venusaur to death, then my Hypnosis+Substitute+Focus Punch Poli (Poliwrath) will pwn the other 3.Or, if not, Suicune might help

    I know you must have Rock Climb. Rock smash and Strength I think, but I'm not sure. Fly will help you leave...if you don't want to go all the way back down.

    I think all you need is Rock Climb. At least that's all I seem to remember needing. Don't really remember, it's been about 50 hours of gameplay since I battled him. :/

    I don't remember exact levels, but when I fought him in the Japanese Heart Gold, my Pokémon were in their mid 50's. You don't have to use high level Pokémon, just make sure you have a good strategy going in.

    It ain't much of a challenge in my opinion, not anywhere near like it was years ago. His Snorlax doesn't have Rest and Snore (a true cheap, lame and extremely frustrating combo, which was the hardest part about Red) making his Snorlax a piece of cake. Also constant hail weakens the Snorlax and all his other Pokemon.

    So yeah overall pretty easy. And his Lapras doesn't do squat.

    That takes the fun out of it though don't you think? I mean, it's fun having a challenge, but having Pokemon that just make it "Click the right move" ends up being pretty boring. :P

    But to each their own, I prefer the harder approach, and of course some people like it to be extremely easy. XD

    I plan to have my Pokemon about level 78-85 for my battle against Red. I'm also not going to use any legendaries, just some pretty good tactics (once I come up with them XD.)

    I beat him yesterday with only my level 82 Typhloshion and my level 80 Mewtwo. You're going to need pokemon in the 80's to defeat him. Make sure you have a pokemon with Earthquake to get rid of his level 88 Pikachu. It's his highest level pokemon.

    I was so happy, though. I got a Charmander from Oak!

    Hmm... he sounds like a challenge indeed. My Poke'mon are in their 50's right now, but I've got my lv 100 Flareon with me. So hopefully, she'll be enough. =)
