Update:
Defeated Blue. YIKES!!! This is the one I was worried about. Barely got by alive. So I trained up the whole team to 56, including getting Draco to a Dragonite. Here’s how the battle went. Started off with Venom. Took down exxegutor with U Turn. Went into Petal. He goes into Gyarados. I predict an Ice Fang so I switch to Drogon, my own gyarados. Mistake. He dragon dances. Now to have a chance I need to dragon dance as well. He DD’s again, as do I. I can’t let him set up more. I go for bite and put him around half and flinch him. I’m thinking one more will do it. I get a low roll and he survives. DEATH ALERT!!! He uses Return and kills Drogon. I go into Draco, thinking he will heal. Draco knows Thunderpunch, so I know it would one shot after he heals. Welp, not so fast. DEATH ALERT!!! He decides not to heal. Goes for ice fang and one shots Draco. I go into Eggz, at this point thinking the run is over and I’m about to get swept. But the quick claw activated and Eggz goes first and gets the kill!!! Rhydon comes in and gets one shotted by a crit Aura Sphere. Clutch! Machamp comes in and I get off an air slash, taking down most of his health. DEATH ALERT!!! Machamp lands a crit stone edge and one shots Eggz. Karma. At this point I have to go for a sweep of the rest. Machamp can’t do much to Venom. So I send in Venom and swords Dance to max attack and heal as I go. I EQ and kill machamp. Arcanine comes in. I shockingly outspeed and even after it’s intimidate drop I one shot with EQ. Final Pokémon Pidgeot comes in. I hit with aerial ace. Does 3/4. It whirlwinds me out! All those attack boosts are lost! And out comes petal. I need petal to live one hit and get off a leach seed. He gets the job done!!! I get off the leach seed and live his air slash. I u turn back into Venom and take turns aerial acing and healing until finally pidgeot goes down!
Remaining Team:
Venom(gliscor) lvl 57
Petal(jumpluff) lvl 56
I vow to beat Red with only these two. I’m going to grind my butt off and get around lvl 80 with each. I’ll come up with the best strats and do my best to get it done with these two. I am knocked down but not out yet!! Wish me luck! I’ll need it!
Update:
Ok guys so here’s the plan. I think my only shot is to completely set up with Gliscor against Pikachu. I will use x defends to tank his iron tails, x speed to outspeed everything, and max out swords dance. Then I plan to sweep his whole team with Gliscor. His moveset is Swords Dance to set up, EQ for pikachu, snorlax, blastoise, and lapras. Aerial Ace for Venusaur, and rock slide for charizard. My main concerns are lapras or blastoise surving an EQ and rock slide missing charizard. If any of that happens I probably lose. Gonna grind up Gliscor to 70(because I’m too lazy to keep going any further lol). I still have Petal as well, but I think my only shot is a full set up and sweep with Gliscor. I will update after attempting Red to let you know if I’ve beaten the second game, or failed at the very end.
Final Update for Heartgold:
Well the strategy worked perfectly! Swept Red with only lvl 71 Gliscor! Against pikachu I used a bunch of x defends to tank it’s hits as I set up x speeds and swords danced to the max. I then killed pikachu with EQ, Lapras with EQ, Blastoise with EQ, Snorlax with EQ, Venusaur with Aerial Ace, and thankfully hit charizard with Rock Slide. Thank god I picked Heartgold instead of soulsilver. I couldn’t have done it all without Gliscor. I will be doing some research for my next run on Hoenn. Not sure if I’m doing gen 3 or 6 on that yet. Ill post on here when I get started!!
