Final Battle vs Trainer Red | Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal

[@af5287]

Such a classic battle, always annoyed me how you either needed an HM slave or to take up moveslots with HMs on your main team to get up Mt. Silver.

[@pandaboi-nc7iz]

Same

[@jonathanmellqvist2]

Or just don't keep your HM slave weak, train that shit

[@af5287]

@@jonathanmellqvist2 Sure but you're still faced with either taking up moveslots on an unwanted move or potentially using a pokemon that is not part of your preferred party

[@jonathanmellqvist2]

@@af5287 why doesn't matter? If your pokemon is properly trained they'll one hit with any hm 100%

[@af5287]

​@@jonathanmellqvist2 Its not a difficulty matter to me, its wanting to face the secret boss of the game with my favorite team. I know you can just train up a mon and sweep, but then I either wouldnt have my favorite team (if I have to replace with an HM slave), or I have to replace the moves of my favorites with HMs in a generation without a move reminder.

The Song of reds battle always gives me goosebumps, so epic

[@Achadosdadeu]

It would give me more if It was'nt used on Champion Lance too.. (so, against Red It was'nt new)

[@obsessivefanboy7]

@@Achadosdadeu Agreed. Lance should've gotten a different theme and this one be exclusive to Red

Snorlax was and always will be a pain 😂, amazing battle 💯

[@Hulkachan]

Snorlax used munch

[@TayGlass92]

A low-level gastly can win against it with spite and curse

[@EternalxFrost]

​​@@TayGlass92Or even Misdreavus with Perish Song and Disable, on top of being found ONLY in Mt. Silver, at level 45, with the forementionned above moves, AND Curse. Just more convenient.

[@comingup5350]

I swear is just me or does psychic have the best animation in gen 2 lol looke way better now but the waves going across the screen as the sound effect start over for each wave 😍😍 man

[@avidgarciaii4570]

Just watching the Snorlax's health climb right back up as it sleeps off being poisoned, and watching his body slam which is "not very effective" ravage Skarmory's health and paralyze it is anxiety-inducing af. I would build teams through the whole damn game just to deal with him and fluggin Espeon.... I always somehow ended up with Umbreon due to video game time in my house growing up being reserved for the evening's, and being sad and confused that the best dark move it got was faint attack as it couldn't learn crunch in gen 2, so I would always turn it into Jolteon. Sorry for the reminiscing rant

[@jeremymcclanahan5230]

No worries. You have every right to reminisce.

[@EternalxFrost]

Sleep Powder Butterfree vs Red's Snorlax is a win to me. ALWAYS.

[@kbblghn]

epic battle as a kid I miss those days

[@LL-xj1zx]

I think red just decided to follow in the foot steps of the karate king and train in isolation

[@hyeonjaelee1938]

Great thumbnail 🇯🇵

[@WarVeteran213]

Nice battle but you should’ve made your Pokémon in the 60s or 70s in level

[@EternalxFrost]

I'd say 75+ to deal with Snorlax without it Rest'ing everytime you down it to low HP

[@Hidoruga]

Respect for going under level

[@Chyeahokay]

It then lost it by using potions….

[@Uknownlyknown]

Respect for using legendaries

[@chiefff18]

Using potions is worse than going over level imo (if the over level isn’t too big

[@Ash_Wen-li]

​@@chiefff18 Depends. If you're 20 levels underleveled using potions is fine

[@EternalxFrost]

@@Chyeahokay Bro he's over 25 levels under... using pots and Restores is PERFECTLY fine

[@mr.killluminati1220]

Great surprise as a kid. I just wish the battle wasn’t so easy it was the same experience for me I was like HOLY SHIT ITS ASH!? Anddddd I end up just demolishing his team on my first try lol It would have been cooler if ALL of his Pokémon were level 100. His pikachu should have been at least 100, pikachu has plot amor for gods sake 😂

[@Aries16603]

Everything is a joke until Snorlax enters the battle. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Bruh, it took me like 5 paralyze heels, 5 revivals and several max potions to defeat ‘em.

Typholosion is literally Rayquaza why don't people see the resemblance

[@EternalxFrost]

My best strats to clutch that Snorlax out is to either keep it asleep with Butterfree using Sleep Powder, so he can't use Rest at all, and since Butterfree is WAY faster than Snorlax, you can sleep it on the first turn so it can't setup Amnesia, and you Psychic the fuck out of it. Or alternatively, you can use any mon with Disable (preferably Misdreavus, since it'll be immune to Normal attacks), so as soon as he uses Rest you disable it out. You can also Perish Song it and switch out on the last turn, always work wonders to get rid of an annoyance like a Rest-Snore Snorlax (taking into account that Red won't switch out).

[@salviserious7502]

imagine red uses max potions too

[@EternalxFrost]

or Full Restores. OMG

Gold vs Red

[@TopMach1]

Poliwrath will take snorlax out in a hit or 2 instead of taking days method also Raikou moveset is trash

[@EternalxFrost]

It needs AT THE VERY LEAST Thunderbolt. Can't remember if it can learn Rain Dance in Gen II, but if so, a Rain Dancer w/ Thunder is just magical. 100% accuracy Thunder under rain

[@TopMach1]

@@EternalxFrost rain dance an sunny day came out in Gen 2

[@EternalxFrost]

@@TopMach1 I know, I've played Crystal for years. But it's not guaranteed an Electric-type can learn Rain Dance. For instance, the Pikachu line can, but the Magneton line cannot. So if Raikou can learn Rain Dance in gen II, a Thunder Rain Dancer setup would be amazing. But idk since I didn't play much with Raikou, I've almost exclusively played Suicune
