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 Alakazam
Psychic: 255–300 HP (109–130% of remaining HP) against Pikachu. Faster at equal priority.
Enough for a knockout on a successful non-critical hit. Possible switch-in risk: Thunderbolt can deal 142–168 HP (52–62% 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 Jolteon: its Thunderbolt is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Blastoise’s remaining HP on hit.
- Preserve Scizor: its Steel Wing is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Espeon’s remaining HP on hit.

What the reserves offer
- Sceptile replaces Jolteon: a non-critical hit can remove at least half of Pikachu, Blastoise opening HP. Compare what the replaced ally covers before swapping.
- Ampharos replaces Jolteon: a non-critical hit can remove at least half of Pikachu, Charizard, Blastoise 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.
