Pokémon Soul Silver - Battle vs. Pokémon Trainer Red

Finally , the battle we all wanted to see : the strongest trainer in any Pokémon Game , Red !
For the curious , my final team is:
- Dragonite lv.72:
Dragon Dance , Outrage , Earthquake and Stone Edge @ Muscle Band
- Ampharos lv.71:
Thunder Wave , Thunderbolt , Signal Beam and Power Gem @ Focus Sash
- Lapras lv. 71:
Surf , Ice Beam , Rain Dance and Blizzard @ Leftovers
- Togekiss lv.72:
Aura Sphere , Air Slash , Grass Knot and Fly @ Brightpowder
- Typhlosion lv.72 :
Flamethrower , Eruption , Focus Blast and Rock Climb @ Focus Band
- Gengar lv. 72:
Sludge Bomb , Shadow Ball , Energy Ball and Psychic @ Focus Sash
About the battle...
- Pikachu: Like I was expecting , Volt Tackle took a huge dent of Dragonite's health , specially since it's holding a Light Ball . I was praying that one Dragon Dance was enough to outspeed it , and luckily it was . One Earthquake solved the question , specially since Pikachu's defensive stats are pretty weak .
- Lapras: I was afraid of it coming next , because due to Hail Blizzard is 100% effective , which means that Lapras' STAB Blizzard would kill a good chunk of my team . Even with that , I decided to take a shot at Stone Edge to see if was enough . Result: Lapras OHKO'ed by Dragonite pretty easily :D
- Snorlax: Possibly the most troubling of Red's Pokémon is Snorlax , with it's huge Attack stat and moves like Giga Impact and Crunch . Since Dragonite was already dying , I decided to Outrage the fat Pokémon . It didn't kill Snorlax in one attempt like I predicted , but thankfully Hail helped me to take this heavy thread of the way .
- Charizard: After Dragonite faints , I decided to send Ampharos because it could deal with both Blastoise or Charizard . The fire Pokémon came first: Ampharos survived a Flare Blitz , Charizard took recoil damage , and one Power Gem was enough to end this show .
- Venusaur: I could have switched right away when Venusaur came out , but since I had two Pokémon with Grass moves (one being Grass Knot) , I decided to take a shot and see if Signal Beam could do some damage . Failed miserably , due to Venusaur's Sludge Bomb . I then sent Typhlosion , which outspeeded Venusaur pretty easily and knocked it out with one Eruption .
- Blastoise: The last Pokémon used by Red was the Water tank Blastoise . I knew I couldn't do nothing with Typhlosion against it , so a strategical switch was required . I didn't know which should I send , though: Gengar or Togekiss . I ended up sending Gengar , and thankfully Blastoise used Focus Blast instead of Hydro Cannon . Two Energy Ball's were enough to finish this battle .
As a conclusion , this was a pretty entertaining game to play , and this battle was by far the most exciting . Red vs. Red , and I was the victorious one ... I'm the better Red , yeah :D
Now , I'll go on vacation for a week , so I won't be starting a new playthrough until the 29th of this month .

Oh, it all makes sense now. Why you only fight 1 Snorlax in HGSS in the wild. Red caught the other 1. Why I never realized this, I'll never know.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Wow... I never even noticed that. Amazing.

[@absol102]

[@gopherman2014]

What? This doesn't make sense. Why would there only be 2 snorlax in the wild and 1 just so happened to be caught by red? Stupid comment and it isn't mind blowing.

[@acrustykrab]

@@gopherman2014 it's a theory bc in Pokémon Red / Blue there are only 2 Snorlax. Now there is just 1 and Red has 1 too.

This is my favorite battle in all of Pokemon. Red doesn't speak (others give entire righteous speeches), it takes place on top of a huge mountain, and all you hear is the wind and your footsteps as you approach the beast.

You cannot call yourself a true champion until you've defeated Red.

[@mosheahvows5071]

So Ethan

[@coleedwards5341]

So when red was defeated he just blacked out like how you do when you run out of Pokemon. He's probably at the Pokemon center right now. That's why he's gone xD The theories are wrong lol he didn't just vanish because he was a ghost and he's not dead he literally just blacked out how you do when you loose a battle. Because red is just the protagonist from the first game.

[@isaiahbarthelus1556]

+Cole Edwards i agree. its easy to forget that. Not to mention he appears in black 2/white 2.

[@kevinhodgson2764]

Anyone else think that once battles are a thing in Pokemon Go, you should be able to find Red on top of Mount Everest or somewhere similar?

[@joeypacelli1017]

Mt. Everest seems a LITTLE extreme. Maybe something like the Empire State Building/Other Large attractions Good concept, though

+Sackson Besides, your phone might freeze with temperatures up on the summit and it's the tallest mountain in the world, which means the atmosphere is thinner being closer to space which means you could also die from oxygen deprivation.

Red is not dead, As you can see we never talked in all PokeMon games. And red is a "trainer" So that means he doesn't talk. He even blacks out just like a normal "Trainer". Us trainers are invincible.. So that means red is invincible, Us trainers don't come back home ever. And red is a normal trainer. We don't talk either in the game. Prove me if i am wrong but i don't care..

[@bdt2002gaming]

I have a very find memory of this battle from way back in the day. Long story short, there was this one time when I had played through the entirety of SoulSilver with just my Feraligatr, and I made it all the way to Red before his Pikachu put a swift end to everything I had accomplished. I can't remember the details, as this was really, really far back for me. All I can remember is that Feraligatr influenced me in ways that no other Pokémon have, despite not even growing up with the original Generation 2 games.

And like only after you beat the champion in kalos. You can attend it too.

FreeCpRareAccounts1 I think it would be better if he just appears as an optional battle, like Cynthia.

[@FreeCpRareAccounts1]

GameCastX1 Red is overrated as hell, we need more than just _one_ final battle. I'd much rather face Steven in Emerald than Red. Red is good for the final battle in the Johto games; but anymore than that would get really stale.

[@GameCastX1]

FreeCpRareAccounts1 I never said he should be a final battle. I said he should be an optional battle. You know, like Cynthia in Black and White? Sorry for not saying Black and White though :P

[@twiggythetorterra9643]

What I find funny is Barry is the second most powerful trainer of all, most powerful rival (as in someone you can’t play as in any games). Barry’s Pokémon become in the level 80 range in Pokémon platinum if you beat the elite 4 enough times. Unless I’m forgetting anyone else (not including red, he’s a playable character in red, blue, fire red, and leaf green)
