How to beat Red with this team
Compare your actual moves against Red’s six, then test an opening in practice. These are matchup suggestions, not a guaranteed winning sequence.
Consider Swampert
Earthquake: 510–600 HP (219–259% of remaining HP) against Pikachu. Slower at equal priority.
Enough for a knockout on a successful non-critical hit. Possible switch-in risk: Brick Break can deal 39–46 HP (10–13% of remaining HP). This is a possible move, not a prediction of Red’s queued action.
Consider Metagross
Earthquake: 440–518 HP (189–224% of remaining HP) against Pikachu. Slower at equal priority.
Enough for a knockout on a successful non-critical hit. Possible switch-in risk: Thunderbolt can deal 136–160 HP (42–50% of remaining HP). This is a possible move, not a prediction of Red’s queued action.
Damage calculation assumptions and limits
Damage uses the Gen III simulator: 85–100% rolls, no critical hits, on a successful hit. Current HP, boosts, items, abilities, weather and screens are included. Hypothetical entries apply entry abilities; later healing, secondary effects, protection, and Red’s intervening action can change the outcome. Multi-hit, self-destruct, Pursuit and status moves are not assigned numeric damage. Speed compares equal-priority attacks; statuses can prevent acting. Percentages use remaining HP.

What the reserves offer
- Vaporeon replaces Gengar: a non-critical hit can remove at least half of Pikachu, Charizard opening HP. Compare what the replaced ally covers before swapping.
- Cloyster replaces Gengar: a non-critical hit can remove at least half of Pikachu, Charizard, Venusaur opening HP. Compare what the replaced ally covers before swapping.
Changing a lead or reserve changes the opening. Scout reveals the committed action only after you use it. No calculation spends PP, Scout uses or a battle turn.
