4th Gen I heard Red was tough?

Red Is VERY Hard, It Took Me Several Tries With Different Teams To Kill Him, He Has The Most Strongest Pokemon In Singleplayer I've Ever Seen...
Lvl 88 Pikachu (Has Light Ball)
Lvl 84 Charizard,Venusaur And Blastoise
Lvl 80 Lapras
Lvl 82 Snorlax
Be VERY Prepared If Anyone Has Lower Leveled Pokemon Then The List Above I Wrote.
 
I used the following :
Typhlosion
Togekiss
Pidgeot
Gyrados
Ampharos
Lapras

All around level 60. The battle took awhile, but I won.

After That, I used my Competitive Team. That made it pretty easy, so I'm glad I didn't do that first.

My team were all lvl 63-65 and it was easy.

I just set up reflect and light screen with my bronzong, exploded it, then set up dragon dance with my dragonite and swept him.

However I did use potions.

...But Mt. Silver requires some Hms to get up, right? That'll cause problems, how did you guys get around it?

To reach Red you only need Rock Climb, though to go after all the goodies inside the cave Surf, Waterfall and Rock Smash are needed too. At the very least you only need a HM Slave for Rock Climb, unless you use Rock Climb on your team members.

Ah I see. Currently the only one I have that knows Rock Climb is a level 13 Geodude, So I'll just have to learn it to someone else.. (;._.)
 
I should've gotten a electric type. My stinking water weakness... I can 1 Hit KO his Pikachu with Earthquake with my62 Donphan.
 
Having only just beaten Red in the past few minutes, I will say this. Red is hard. Very hard. Much harder than he was back in Gold/Silver/Crystal and as a youngster, I thought he was hard then, but he's much more difficult here. I had to use plenty of full restores and revives to win. The hail was irritating too, but it could be used as both an advantage and disadvantage.

This was my team at the time of defeating Red:



*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Snapper the Feraligatr (Lv.70)

"image removed" Webslinger the Ariados (Lv.70)

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Hardboiled the Togekiss (Lv.67)

"image removed" Stumpy the Sudowoodo (Lv.67)

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Bagheera the Umbreon (Lv.67)

"image removed" Tarzan the Primeape (Lv.70)

His Pikachu, which I didn't think was too much of a threat before is a powerful beast. Luckily, my Primape knew Close Combat, which took out Pikachu in one hit and thankfully didn't paralyze me on impact (like it did on previous tries).

The order he sends his Pokemon out vary and my tries all differed, but let's just do them in the order I recall battling him against.

Blastoise was next and he was fairly difficult to take on, since I had no Pokemon with Grass or Electric moves. With no clear advantage I sent out Umbreon (which with Red no longer owning an Espeon like he did in G/S/C, had no chance to dominate the battle) to whittle it down. It died pretty soon into the battle and its attacks hardly mattered when Red used his one of many full restores. If I remember correctly, I sent out a mix of Feraligatr, Ariados, Togekiss and Primeape to finish it off. Took a while, but it worked.

Charizard was next and this was pretty easy. Sudowoodo defeated it with one Rock Slide.

Lapras (which replaced Espeon) was a little difficult. Again, I think I weakened it down with several Pokemon, before sending out Primeape again to use Close Combat.

Snorlax has thankfully been made a tad easier without Rest, but he was still difficult and his HP took a while to take down. Using a few Pokemon again, before I sent out Primeape again with Close Combat was my strategy once again.

Venusaur was next and boy this was annoying. I tried to keep Feraligatr, Togekiss and Ariados alive for this battle. Red kept using full restores on Venusaur, much to my fury to the point where I wanted to throw a DS across the screen, but after some time, my Ariados (good resistance to its moveset) and Psychic were enough to end the battle.

And cue anti-climatic ending. Next time, I'm going to take the time to raise my Pokemon to a more even level. Next time Red, I shall kick your arse properly.
 
I defeated him just recently! All my pokemon (in sig) were about lvl. 80, I switched pokemon depending on type effectiviness, and defeated him easily =)

I defeated Red easily!
Here is my strategy...

For Pikachu, I used Charizard's Earthquake.
For Venusaur, I used Charizard's Flamethrower.
For Charizard, I used Feraligatr's Surf.
For Blastoise & Lapras, I used Victreebel's Razor Leaf/Sleep Powder.
For Snorlax, I used Lucario's Aura Sphere. (FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!)
 
ash was quite hard
i got owned twice
then i transfered over 2 lvl 100 pokes and still got owned =/
i eventually got lucky though =]
 
Destroyed him with my un-EVed 100 Charizard
As a matter of fact it was this Charizard right over here vvvv
 
Well he's not THAT diffcult. D:

When I went to fight him the majority of my team was 50's and 60's.
So I pretty much used my level 100 un-EVed Raichi and lvl 91 EVed Glaceon to take him out.

>:3 He got pwned.

O-O Even my lower level Pokemon were able to help out.
My level 53 Feraligatr was able to take out his Charizard! >:3♥
 
Wasn't that hard really. I beat him with this team:

Magneton lvl 61
Raikou lvl 63
Electrode lvl 63
Pikachu lvl 65

Wasn't that hard to revive Electrode and keeping Explode XD
 
I pwned him, his Pikachu was one Flamethrower (Psypokes lies! He is still just a filler!)
I had trouble with Blastoise, Lapras, and a bit with Snorlax and Charizard, but I one in the end.
