4th Gen I heard Red was tough?

He's not that hard if you have a Pokemon with a move that has its weakness. Like, I had my Dugtrio use Earthquake on Pikachu. :P It's my easiest way on beating Red.

Dugtrio lvl. 76 = Earthquake on Pikachu
Raichu lvl. 78 = Thunder on Lapras, Blastoise, and Charizard
Typhlosion lvl. 85 = Eruption on Venusaur
Lucario lvl. 88 = Aura Sphere on Snorlax
 
I reirterate. Those of you who found him easy should find it more challenging if you do this.


What do you mean by Set battle style?
 
Red was a pushover... I beat him with my level 84 tauros... alone =/
 
I've yet to give Red an honest go. I did however for the lawls approached him 30 levels under leveled, unprepared and without my full team. As I recall I didn't actually have any problem getting by Pikachu, and I think I lucked out on beating his second pokemon, though I can't remember...what I do remember though is being wrecked by his blastoise..though i did cause Red to heal it once >_>

I think before I give read an honest go, I'll beat the Elite Four the second time around first.
 
Considering that I could not beat the Elite 4 in the second run with my SS Pokemon (Magmortar, Tyranitar and Exeggutor) with Lance whooping my ass, I doubt I could defeat Red, unless I use the rest of my team which range from lv. 89-100, but that would take the fun out of the game.
 
What do you mean by Set battle style?

Ever played a battle with a friend? Basically it's where you can't switch in Pokemon once you've defeated an opponent. You can only switch whilst still in the battle and thus risk getting hurt every time.

Shift is the default setting (edit in Options) that every Pokemon game uses and allows you to switch in Pokemon, should you choose to.

Hope this helps. :)

Epic. :D

A few words of advice: Turn on the GB Sounds for the fight.

I'm doing that next time. Nostalgia for the win.

Why the **** is this thread so popular?

Because it is a good discussion to talk about? Bloody hell. :mad:
 
The first and only time I've faced Red so far, his Pikachu alone took out three of my Pokemon. So I would considered him the hardest trainer in all generations so far.
