@@RainmakerXBooty Red might be the stated canon but Cynthea vs Red in both formats still favors Cynthea by a huge margin even when you do D/P team vs HGSS team. Canon teams built to competitive level favors Cynthea though all other things being equal because then Red is forced to use Pikachu into Lucario and Spiritomb. Theres a reason steven is the only champion able to take down more then 2 members of Cynthea's team when shes not following AI rules, and its because he just puts enough raw bulk on the field to eat away at her resources at parity.

[@lycan-zp9xf]

Kinda worthless in Singles. Pikachu would be literal fodder, Venu can kinda work, Blastoise in p much unusable, Snorlax works but is far subpar to Curselax or even DrumSlax, Zard wants to have Hurricane since Sun is never coming up unless you Gigantamax and Fire Pledge is a bad move to use in Singles (This also goes for Venu, but Venu can at least Sludge Bomb and Powder away), and Lapras is not Perish Songing anybody and is a bad mon. You could only really pull Song off on a Whirpool set which is gimmicky enough already. Since Red is a Singles battle, you really would not want this movesets at all. I'm even inclined to say he'd prefer his regular moves but I'd have to check them lol
