Ampharos Lv. 71
Pidgeot Lv. 74
Scizor Lv. 76
Weavile Lv. 78
Espeon Lv. 80
Feraligatr Lv. 81

I've beaten the old RED with half that many pokemon and about 20 levels lower. You should be absolutely fine if you know what you're doing.

 

[Johto Legend 17]

I did a little more training in the National Park and got Fox (Eevee) to LV 15. Just 6 more LVs to go and it'll be evenly balanced with the rest of my team. Tommorow i'm gonna train Fox (Eevee) in a different area.

Current Team:
Fox (Eevee) LV 15 (Currently still undergoing training.)
Fire (Quilava) LV 21
Leaf (Weepinbell) LV 21 (Still needs Leaf Stone...)
Tanuk(i) (Furret) LV 21
Bird (Pidgeotto) LV 21

Future Team:
Rage (Red Garyados)
Fox (Either Espeon or something else)
Soul (Lugia. May replace Tanuk(i))

Well, I ended up trying now, thanks to that. And I actually won against him c: so I guess now I'll try doing all the other cool stuff there is to do after Red.

Yeah, i beat him with pokemon that were level 65-70, and it was still a struggle for me

 

[The Smell]

Ah, I just love it when my Togepi uses Outrage in Metronome. A lot of fun! :P

 

[KamikazeAids]

I beat the 3rd gym and headed to the next and met Bill, And went back to Goldenrod and got a eeve and started to train it. I was around Violet City and the battle I got into sounded abit different, Raikou appeared. Not having any moves to keep it there I tried to throw a pokeball at it, And if it would of shook one more time I would of caught it. eevee is now level 11. :]

 

[Dr Gregory House]

I managed to beat him when all my pokemon were around that level as well... though it took a lot of revives... LOL.

Sounds like awesome fun :3

I just had the most awesome time getting a Notched-Eared-Pichu. :D
And watching the creation thingo for summoning a lvl 1 Dialga... it was trippy... :D
Oh and I went in and out of Goldenrod about 50 times til I finally caught Entei and Raikou. lol.

 

[Steeldude]

Haven't been here for a long time. I also didn't have much time to play.
So, I am currently in Ecruteak, after defeating Morty.

Location: Ecruteak City - Pokémon Center
Team: Slowpoke (24), Quilava (25), Flaaffy (24 - thinking about switching with Magnemite ...), Crobat (24 - evolved on 23 lvl)
Now I'm gonna get to Olivine. I mean, in the next days ... :)

I've decided my team: Slowbro, Crobat, Typhlosion, probably Magneton (I don't think Magnezone is available ...), Umbreon, Hitmonlee.

KEEP THE FLAAFY! ;)
Nice team too, you should probably invest in a ground type or something... Because all your pokes would get owned against electric really... flaaffy might have a slight chance...

w00t, did anyone else get a shiny hoenn starter? ( i did a lot of resets, but it just payed off)

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

I managed to beat him when all my pokemon were around that level as well... though it took a lot of revives... LOL.

I think i ended with 1 pokemon left while fighting Lapras (which was the last pokemon for me), my Wailord used Rain Dance and then ended up with about 7HP left, i used a max revive on Luxray and 2HKOed Lapras with Thunder, on my new game i'm going to raise my team to at least level 80 so that i stand more of a chance against him (e.g. so i don't get 1HKOed by Pikachu's Iron Tail)

Current Progress: Battling team Rocket at the Mahogany Town base.

My team:

Feraligatr Lv52

Added the red Gyarados to my team as another HM Slave

 

[Rainflower]

- went through ilex forest and captured oddish. i'll probably not going to use it though ;3;
- arrived on goldenrod! went further from the city to train pokemon a little while.
- battled whitney. clefairy was very easy, but miltank? srsly annoying >_>
- captured a sunkern on the national park. saving it in the PC and going to train it after i beat morty.
- arrived on ecruteak after beating the sudowoodo XD training vulpix also.
- battled the rival (i think i named him "haru", sorry for the lack of hiragana/katakana skill, i only know few words) on the burned tower.
- encountered raikou two times. it's useless for me ATM since i don't have any ultra balls.
- first attempt on the gym: the move curse, hypnosis, and lack of awakening ruined my team, so i restarted. gladly i managed to save the game just before i battled morty.
- currently training in the route next to ecruteak.. only battled some trainers though. >___>

current team:
- Croconaw (lv. 27)
- Pidgeotto (lv. 27)
- Flaafy (lv. 27)
- Vulpix (lv. 26)

i'm also looking for sun stone now. xD

I only see a Feraligatr? lol.
Sounds like I'm not the only one who had a really difficult time with Red either. :3

Get Croconaw to use bite! That is epic win...

Just got me a Latios, and called it Latiko. :3

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

Yeah, i decided to do a solo run challenge with only my starter, i did one on in Emerald or Sapphire once with Swampert, i did one in Platinum so i decided to do one on Heart Gold, the challenge ends once i beat the elite 4 for the first time, at that point i will copy some pokemon from Platinum using Pokesav

i'm also looking for sun stone now. xD

I think you get a sun stone when you win the bug catching contest

Update:

Current Progress: Just beaten Pryce, going to leave the gym and head to Goldenrod to battle Team Rocket again.

Feraligatr Lv54

Feraligatr Lv54

Nice work dude, sounds like you'll have a lvl 85 Feraligatr by the end of your challenge. Can it learn thunder fang? :)

You think so?
Well, I don't know. To be honest, I'm not afraid of Ground types, because of Crobat (immunity) and Slowpoke (effective), it wouldn't be effective against Umbreon and Hitmonlee, too.
Anyway, I usually have trouble against Electric-type Pokémon. But I gotta have a STEEL-type Pokémon in my team. I'd guess Steelix would be the best choice. But I don't think it is possible to catch a wild one ...

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

Nice work dude, sounds like you'll have a lvl 85 Feraligatr by the end of your challenge. Can it learn thunder fang? :)

no it can't learn Thunder Fang or any electric move, i just checked Bulbapedia, it will probably be about level 65 once i defeat the elite 4 (if i don't make it through the first time it will probably be higher)

Update:

Current Progress:

Just beat Clair, going to Dragon's den, i'm not going to bother trying to answer the questions correctly as i already have the extremespeed dratini on my other save file

Feraligatr Lv64

Update 2:

Got the 8th badge, got the masterball from Elm and defeated the Kimono girls in Ecruteak City, climbed to the top of Tin Tower and caught Ho-oh, defeated the rival and arrived at the indigo plateau, going to heal my pokemon and challenge the league.

Feraligatr Lv70

Update 3:

Just defeated the elite 4, making that the end of my solo run challenge (didn't want to do the whole 16 badges), once the game has finished the hall of fame stuff i will use pokesav to copy two or three pokemon from platinum, i'll be lowering their levels to match Feraligatr (one of them is level 78)

Feraligatr Lv73

 

[KamikazeAids]

I was training my Eevee Just south of goldenrod city, I was talking to it frequently to find it's happiness so I can get a Espeon, It began twirling and saying it's cry, Eevee found a golden leaf.

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

Finally copied Espeon and Infernape from Platinum using pokesav, i still needed 3 more pokemon to complete my team so i downloaded Togekiss, Rhyperior and Spiritomb from the project pokemon website (.pkmn files), i just modified their levels to match Feraligatr and saved the file. About to head across to Kanto with my new team.

My Team:

Feraligatr Lv73 [Hydro Cannon, Surf, Blizzard, Ice Beam]
Infernape Lv73 [Overheat, Close Combat, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz]
Rhyperior Lv73 [Thunderbolt, Rock Wrecker, Stone Edge, Earthquake]
Espeon Lv73 [Psychic, Psybeam, Calm Mind, Reflect]
Spiritomb Lv73 [Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, Omnious Wind, Sucker Punch]
Togekiss Lv73 [Fly, Air Slash, Sky Attack, Aura Sphere]

New movesets for my pokemon are now listed above, may replace Spiritomb's Hypnosis with another move, i may also do the same with Togekiss' Double Edge.

Edit: Changed a few pokemon's move via the move relearner, changes will be shown in bold above

 

[Dr Gregory House]

That is some nice movesets you have there... I might even borrow a couple of them, except for flare blitz of course. :P

My Dialga and Latios are both nearly level 100 now... :D

 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

lol yeah, people see Feraligatr go from Level 50-70 in a day lol, i didn't expect him to be at level 70 at the elite 4, i thought he would end up more like 60-65

thanks, i wanted to make sure each pokemon had a move of it's type (e.g. ghost and dark moves for Spiritomb), i also taught Espeon calm mind to get a chance to one hit ko the opponent
