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 Gyarados
Earthquake: 413–486 HP (178–210% 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 503–592 HP (142–169% of remaining HP). This is a possible move, not a prediction of Red’s queued action.
Consider Heracross
Megahorn: 372–438 HP (160–189% 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 130–154 HP (40–48% 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 Gengar: its Thunderbolt is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Blastoise’s remaining HP on hit.
- Preserve Heracross: its Brick Break is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Snorlax’s remaining HP on hit.
- Preserve Heracross: its Megahorn is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Espeon’s remaining HP on hit.

What the reserves offer
- Dragonite replaces Alakazam: a non-critical hit can remove at least half of Pikachu, Venusaur opening HP. Compare what the replaced ally covers before swapping.
- Vaporeon replaces Alakazam: a non-critical hit can remove at least half of Pikachu, Charizard 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.
