You can't use a Golem I already have one check my update and the owner of this tread(sorry I forgot your name) thread said I could use it. So you have to use a Dodrio.

I wasted all that time evolving Geodude for this Ok, sounds good I guess. Dodrio is a pretty good Pokemon in Gen 1.

Done with Pokemon Red!

Spoiler:

We'll omit Brock for time's sake because it was done with my starter.

Right before Mount Moon I caught the Spearow I would later trade for Farfetch'd. (What kind of idiot trades a Farfetch'd, a Pokemon dumb in its own right, for the most common bird in and around Vermilion City?)

MISTY
I used the Farfetch'd I just traded for. It knew Swords Dance at this time, so it could knock her out quickly.

Since the location of the Machamp trader in Yellow is right after Misty, I felt that now was the time to trade my Machamp from Yellow to Red. Side note: While my game appears to look like Yellow, it is just the Gen 2/Color Hack of Pokemon Red created on this website!

SURGE
I taught my new Machamp Dig, which was all I needed to beat Surge. I could not use Farfetch'd because of its weakness.

ERIKA
Too much grinding led to my Farfetch'd and Machamp not being able to obey me. It was a freaking numbers game to get Swords Dance/Peck/Body Slam working the way it shoukd. When I finally won, I was able to complete my team.

I found a Slowpoke, Rapidash, Dodrio and everything else from previous save files in my emulator which were all around Lv.45. I waited until now to trade them because now they obey me for likely the rest of the game.

KOGA
I taught Machamp Earthquake, which made things a whole lot easier for this Gym and going forward. I had Machamp Rock Slide the Venomoth/Nats also.

BLAINE
A combo of Machamp and Slowbro for their Surf and Earthquake. Not hard at all! Also, I learned that Slowbro can learn Fire Blast. I just taught TM38 to Rapidash, who was severely lacking in the STAB department. I didn't get to use Rapidash much!

SABRINA
The best stopper for Sabrina's Alakazam that I had was Slowbro. Fantastic Special and Defense allowed it to wall her fast though frail Abra family. Once Zam stopped spamming Recover, I beat her swiftly.

GIOVANNI
There was no reason to use anything besides Slowbro, but I let Machamp get in the mix. Surf, Psychic and Earthquake were all I needed to win.

Elite Four time!

LORELEI
Magneton was a stud in this battle. Thunderbolt hit everything in one shot.

BRUNO
I used Slowbro to defeat the Onix (plural) and switched to Farfetch'd to drop the Fighting types with Swords Dance/Body Slam.
I also learned that Slash (which crits everytime with Pokemon that have base speed >64) does not factor in stat increases/decreases like Swords Dance in Gen 1. Farfetch'd is still a very underrated Pokemon to use.

AGATHA
I was saving Slowbro for this battle as well as Lance because of Psychic and Ice Beam. It was a little slow (I promise you no pun intended) and getting put to Sleep, so i brought in Machamp to Earthquake the Gengars and Arbok. Golbat and Haunter were taken down by Slowbro's Psychic.

LANCE
Magneton drilled Gyarados with a single TBolt, then Slowbro Ice Beam'd the rest. Good fight.

CHAMPION BLUE
I would have called him Red if I were playing Red, but he's Blue and I'm Red so all is right in canon.
Back to the 'mons: Magneton put Gyarados and Pidgeot in their places.
Alakazam was beaten by Farfetch'd after a Swords Dance boost.
Machamp covered Arcanine with Earthquake.
Slowbro Surfed all over Rhydon.
And finally, Rapidash took us home by Fire Blasting Venusaur. GG!


I liked switching up my usual team which has more often than not had a Nidoking on it. Machamp and Slowbro were my favorites to use because they knew plenty of helpful moves. If I defeated this Challenge quickly it's because I like Gen 1, know the region by heart along with all of its tricks, and I wanted to do this Challenge.

SCREENSHOT OF THE TEAM:
Spoiler:


Fun fact: my "Red" trainer wasn't the OT for any of these Pokemon. They all came from in-game trades, Yellow, and another Red file.

Name: Bobadilla777
Game: Red
Team: (Assuming I started at the right spot) Dewgong, Muk, Cloyster, Onix, Hypno, Kingler

Skipping Gengar because trading isn't an option, and my knowledge of hacking/cheating is slim to none. Someone else gets to have fun with him.

Tell me if I did anything wrong, I fix it ASAP.

You can decide which Pokemon you would like to use. If you skip 1 Pokemon and use Lickitung (because it is next on the list) then the next player has to use the skipped pokemon. I hope I could help you :D

Bobadilla your team is totally alright :D

Finished my game (sry the pictures are a bit big)
Spoiler:

Vs. Lorelei

With my team I had no really good strategie against her, but I managed it somehow (Venusaur and Charizard did very good here)

Vs. Bruno

Very easy, Blastoise for the Onix(s) and Pidgeot and Butterfree for the Fighting Types

Vs. Agatha

Ratticate Shadow Ball did a lot of damage to her Ghosts. Unfortunately her Gengar hit me 8 times with Hypnosis before he finally missed (there were also some Sludge Bomb crits which made this fight harder than it should be

Vs. Lance

My only option: Blastoise Ice Beam (Venusaur Toxic/Leech Seed Stall Gyarados)
In the end I won with Blastoise left, all other Pokemon fainted (did not use any Revive in this battle)

Vs. Gary

The easiest fight, Blastoise Ice Beamed Pidgeot and Surfed Rhydon, Alakazam survived Ratticate's Shadow Ball in the red and defeated it with Psychic, Pidgeot Return critted Alakazam (as he healed it), Charizard Blast Burned Exeggcutor, Venusaur Fenzy Planted Blastoise and Blastoise Hydro Cannoed Arcanine (I tought them the moves just for fun, I thought it is funny if the 3 Starters have their representive Move)

Played all throughout this morning/afternoon and I finished another 719 with Red!

Spoiler:

-Beat Brock w/ starter

MISTY (Badge #2)
I got my Electrode in a trade. Though it did not obey me, it [eventually] knocked her Stars out.

SURGE (Badge #3)
I also traded for my Marowak, which Bone Clubbed his Pokemon.

ERIKA (Badge #4)
When I got my Exeggutor from a trade (I actually traded for all of them), it knew Psychic, which was good enough to whip her Grass types.

KOGA (Badge #5)
I taught Marowak Earthquake, and that made it able to sweep Koga easily.

BLAINE (Badge #6)
Marowak played against Blaine also, Earthquake all.

SABRINA (Badge #7)
I used the whole team to take her down, starting with Electrode. I taught Toxic to all of my Pokemon (most underrated move in the WHOLE GAME), and her trusty wizards eventually fell to Tox damage.

GIOVANNI (Badge #8)
Exeggutor beasted through this Gym with Solarbeam and Psychic. There was no chance for the Rocket Leader.

LORELEI
Electrode was the star in this fight, Thunderbolt dropped everything in two hits.

BRUNO
Exeggutor Solar'd the Onix and Psychic'd the Fighting types.

AGATHA
I used Marowak (who knew Fissure) and Gengar (Psychic and Tbolt) to bring her down. It took two X Speeds for Marowak to catch up with her Ghosts, but once Fissure was ready, it took down the Gengars.

LANCE
I made the mistake of forgetting to grab TM13 Ice Beam, but Thunderbolt and Toxic did just fine. I packed plenty of Hyper Potions to stall until the pseudo-Dragons died.

CHAMPION RIVAL
Led with Electrode, who dropped Pidgeot and Gyarados before switching out. Marowak Fissured Rhydon, Arcanine and his Exeggutor. Next, Gengar and my Exeggutor finished him off with their Psychic attacks.

So that's that.
