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 Gardevoir
Psychic: 238–280 HP (102–121% 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 113–133 HP (37–45% of remaining HP). This is a possible move, not a prediction of Red’s queued action.
Consider Scizor
Return: 217–256 HP (93–111% of remaining HP) against Pikachu. Slower at equal priority.
Even a favorable type matchup may need another hit; keep a backup answer. Possible switch-in risk: Thunderbolt can deal 148–175 HP (49–58% 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.
Coverage worth keeping
- Preserve Scizor: its Steel Wing is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Espeon’s remaining HP on hit.
