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 Machamp
Earthquake: 426–502 HP (183–217% 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 142–168 HP (41–50% 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.
Coverage worth keeping
- Preserve Ampharos: its Thunderbolt is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Blastoise’s remaining HP on hit.
- Preserve Alakazam: its Psychic is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Venusaur’s remaining HP on hit.
- Preserve Machamp: its Cross Chop is your only computed hit guaranteed to remove at least half of Snorlax’s remaining HP on hit.
