PKMN Trainer Red
 
We all know that RED was the most exciting part of our 2nd Generation games. He stood with his Pokemon on Mt. Silver, waiting to crush all foes, and you were brave enough to put your skills to the test with him. How did you defeat him?
How many tries did it take?
Did you do it with one Pokemon leveled up high?
With a party of six?
And if you had a party, what Pokemon and what levels were they at?

I managed to easily defeat him. I don't really remember by team as it has been many years, but I know my OP Feraligatr did most of the work.

Dragooncroft June 27th, 2013 5:43 PM

My first time beating red? Hmm, let me try to think back and remember. I think I had a Feraligatr, Jynx, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Ampharos, and Noctowl. Of course this was back when I was little and played with the overpowered legendaries and such. They were around L50s and I spammed Full Restores and Max Revives.... silly old noob me! {XD}

Well...Red...first time I saw him, I flipped out! Well, hullo there! A level 81 Pikachu? The levels to me were just insane! Their power was insane! Everything about them was insane!

But beating them...was not as hard as I thought it may be. I had a level 60 Scyther, level 60 Girafarig, level 60 Lanturn, and a level 60 Typhlosion. With just that, I managed their weaknesses and strengths together, eloquently, and I beat Red.

The only troubles I had were on Red's Snorlax. He is strong, and he kept using Rest and Snore. Very irritating to take him down.

^lel double post

Anyway, Reds Pikachu wasn't hard at all. All I had to do is send out my Snorlax, and heal once as he Volt Tackled to death(This was gen IV, I never knew about Red in Gen II until far past my time).

His Venasaur was outsped by my Quick Claw Blaziken.

His Snorlax was slowly defeated by said Blaziken.

Charizard got Stone Edged by my Golem.

Blastoise was Thunderbolted by my Ampharos

Lapras actually nearly swept me, but Quick Claw saved my life.

When I went too challenge him in Gen II, it was pretty much the same, only Blaziken was a Houdoom instead, who took care of Espeon.

Lord Natural Harmonia Gropius June 29th, 2013 12:43 PM

i beat him with Pikachu He's pikachu was weak

bashau June 29th, 2013 6:19 PM

i beat him using my lv 100 nidoqueen

Nomine June 29th, 2013 6:38 PM

I had to look back on my Silver cartridge to find this, aha. Saved right after I beat Red and haven't touched it since then.

How did you defeat him?
A: Pure luck and a LOT of potions. All of my Pokés except my Gengar were underleveled.

How many tries did it take?
A: Two tries. I was able to defeat all of his Pokémon until Snorlax the first time. (That Snorlax is... annoying as heck!)

Did you do it with one Pokemon leveled up high?
A: Sorta. My Gengar got all of the experience during and after the Pokémon League. It was level 81 when the others were in the 60s. (except for my HM slave!)

With a party of six?
A: Nope, a party of four.

And if you had a party, what Pokemon and what levels were they at?
A: Gengar- Ectos- Level 81
Feraligatr- Fero- Level 67
Ampharos- Spark- Level 64
Jumpluff- Cotton- Level 62

Phoenixdown0 July 10th, 2013 8:52 PM

Red was easy if you had good levels, but it has been many years since I battled him.

lmcde22 July 11th, 2013 6:05 PM

I'll have you know i lost to Red and only cried for 20 minutes... ahaha nah but it did take me a few tries. Ugh he was so powerful it was ridiculous. I can't remember my exact team but Feraligator was the team leader at the time and was totally awesome in those battles... Sure he got KO-d by Pikachu 10000000 times but hey. We tried our best and beat him eventually :)

TheKurtzinator July 11th, 2013 8:43 PM

Just played through Silver for the first time in years and I beat Red about a week ago. My team was a little weak but I got him after using A LOT of hyper potions.
My Team at the time:
Tauros (Socrates) - Lv54 (Took out Pikachu)
Pikachu (Ditka) - Lv55
Lugia - Lv49 (Took out Espeon)
Feraligatr (Dmitri) - Lv42
Poliwrath - Lv61 (Took out Snorlax, Charizard, and Blastoise)
Ho-Oh - Lv70 (Took out Venusaur)

CloysterOyster July 12th, 2013 2:46 AM

I defeated him but not 100% sure which Pokémon I used. I do recall using Meganium and Noctowl though. I think I may have used the red Gyarados and a few of the Eeveelutions too. Red's Snorlax was a pain in the butt, kept using Rest and Snore. My Meganium had to keep using Solarbeam and Razor Leaf to weaken it. His other Pokémon were easy to take down once I got that Snorlax out of the way.

Wootius July 12th, 2013 6:39 AM

I walked up to Red with a few 70 somethings(Butterfree and Blastoise are what I remember) and got rolled.

I came back with a billion X-items and gamed my way through him. I still feel a little hollow about that victory. It's why I don't use x-items anymore.

Heart's Soul July 17th, 2013 5:41 AM

Nobody uses x-items.

Anyway, when I was a child, I was abusing my Yellow cartridge in many many ways. So I beat Red with a level 100 Mew. :3

tranceking26 July 17th, 2013 6:19 AM

To be honest, I don't think I beat him until I traded tonnes of high level pokemon which were caught in Red/Yellow.

I failed with my original Crystal party after beating the elite 4 and every gym :-|

Amen.

I still think he is ridiculously overpowered... But I am thankful for the challenge. When i saw him in PWT I nearly cried I was so happy. I also loved battling Steven in Emerald after the E4. He was like the Red of Gen III. And he was powerful.

Sheep July 18th, 2013 11:28 AM

I think I had a party of several Pokemon that I trained by going through the E4 many many many times. Took a few tries since his Snorlax was really annoying, but I got through in the end! He was pretty hard.

Joobell July 21st, 2013 10:22 AM

I played Silver in 2003 and had no idea how to play the game besides potions, revives and running away. I had a Sceptile, The Shiny Gyarados that everyone got, Snorlax, A espeon, Lugia, and Raticate (As I said I had no idea how to play the game). I won the first time with about all my revives and potions used.

Perriechu July 21st, 2013 11:53 AM

lmao It was sooooo long ago when I defeated Red in GSC.

I remember using a random Gravelar to deal with Pikachu and then using a mix of Typhlosion, Dodrio, Magneton and Seaking to finish of the rest. iirc Snorlax was the Pokemon that gave me the most problems. It just wouldn't die, and when I play HGSS now it still doesn't. Typhlosion took care of Venusaur, Dodrio took care of Espeon, Seaking; Charizard and Magneton; Blastoise.

I just had to use everything I had against Snorlax. >:(

Guest123_x1 July 27th, 2013 5:55 PM

When I made it to Mt. Silver's summit, I had saved the game, and then initiated battle with Red a couple of times, but always shut off the game early on in the battle, as I never raised my Pokémon enough to even stand a chance against him.

.:batto:. July 27th, 2013 11:39 PM

cloned typhlosions. nuff said.

Elaitenstile July 28th, 2013 12:01 AM

To be honest I played Gold like a real game, meaning I didn't even know what the hell is gonna happen next. I got there and next thing I know there's Red. Red.

...

Red.

...

Red!

...

OMG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

...

That's all he rather says so yeah.
He beat the **** out of me, but I won. Hyper Potions baby! And I had two Feraligatrs, one level 100 and the other 84.

Seth Rollins July 28th, 2013 4:12 AM

Hmm...i dont remember my team but i remember my Typhlosion and my Heracross did good job in the battle i defeated him. I think it was on the 7th or 8th try. And he wasn't so though, the only ones who gave me problems were his Charizard and his Snorlax. Lmao his Pikachu lv.81 sucks.

Dark Sonic July 28th, 2013 3:07 PM

took awhile but i did it with my feraligator( mostly and lugia the most annoying being snorlax

KorpiklaaniVodka July 31st, 2013 8:53 AM

"..."
