[edit] Trainers
Silver Cave is where you will battle the Legendary Trainer Red who became Pokémon League Champion of Kanto nearly three years ago (he was the protagonist controlled by the player in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow and even Green JPN.). Don't expect it to be a breeze though, as he is the most powerful trainer in all of Kanto (until you defeat him, of course). His Pokémon are tough, but bring plenty of Revives and Hyper Potions. It may be a good idea to have all your Pokémon levels 70-80, but, with type advantages, it's possible with low level Pokémon too (levels 40-65). If you have a level disadvantage, it's a good idea to have moves which do a fixed amount of damage regardless of stats like Toxic, Sandstorm, Seismic Toss, etc.
His Pokémon:
Very easy if you have a Ground-type Pokémon. A single strong blow takes it out most of the time, specially if it's an Earthquake.
Weak to Bug, Ghost and Dark. Reflect softens Bug or Ghost blows, so anything Dark-typed works wonderfully here. Just don't send in Poison or Fighting types or something with very low Special Defense.You should use gengar shadow ball which is super effective although watch out for espeons psychic, it could also knock out gengar in one move.
Screams for a Grass or Electric-type, but Blastoise has Blizzard in his move set so be careful when using a Grass type. A strong electric move backed up with a high Special Attack can down him in one hit.Use magneton with thunderbolt, its speciall attack is pretty good so it should knock out blastoise in one go
Weak to Electric, Water and is specially weak against Rock. Although it can hit pretty hard, it takes a massive load of damage from Rock moves.
This one is VERY resistant. Not only can he take an incredible amount of hits, he can regain health with Rest, use Snore while still asleep, paralyze your team with Body Slam and become almost immune to Special Attacks with Amnesia. He can't do anything against a ghost-type, though. A couple of good moves for Snorlax are Dynamic Punch, Cross Chop, which are super-effective, or Rollout, which does increasing damage for successive hits.Just use gengar here again and use hypnosis and dream eater or disable on snorlax's amnesia
This can be downed easily with a Psychic, Flying, Fire or Ice-type. Just be careful because it can land incredibly strong successive Solarbeams after using Sunny Day - interestingly, that makes it even more vulnerable to Fire attacks. Use this to your advantage. Use typhlosion,alakazam or gengar with psychic
Just figure out a good team that can take advantage of Red's Pokémon types, and be sure that your team is all Level 55-70 and you can defeat Red with barely a scratch. Some good suggestions are Rhydon (learns Earthquake at level 65 and is specially useful against Pikachu and Snorlax), Kadabra/Alakazam (lands hard hits on anything but Espeon and Snorlax, using Psychic or Ice/Thunder/Fire Punch), Ampharos (With Thunder/Thunderpunch, Fire Punch and a high level, it should be able to defeat Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur), Machoke/Machamp (doing huge damage on Snorlax), and Umbreon (walks on Espeon).
My team:
I personally would use a team of kadabra/alakazam, haunter/Gengar, dragonite, Typhlosion, Vaporeon and finally magneton.
Dragonite has the joint highest atk Magneton is far better than ampharos, has a better special atk and way faster. I would not use rhydon and machamp since they are so slow and rhydon is very vulnerable to blastoise and machamp is weak against espeon besides if you want a strong physical pokemon tyranitar is probably the very best, and has the joint highest atk with dragonite. Typhlosion will walk over venasaur. Vaporeon and has the best special atk of a water pokemon and probably the best water pokemon, special atk is better than starmie and gyradoes as well as lapras. Gengar is pretty impressive since you can teach a range of moves probably this is its best moveset( psychic(psychic atk) Giga drain( grass atk) Ice beam( ice atk) and Thunderbolt (electric atk) If you prefer toxic to giga drain then replace it Teach dragonite a moveset of hyper beam, fire punch, ice punch and thunder puch( i say all these puches cause they are very effective due to his high atk and gives him a wide range of attack: all you need to do is choose the right move on the right pokemon)Definetly choose dragonite because it is one of the most superior pokemon in the game. Also if you prefer surf to hyper beam then replace since surf never misses and is a powerful water attack yet hyper beam is an incredibly powerful attack but can miss the target unless you use rain dance. Kadabra is very effective and easy to level up due to its brilliant speed and special atk. Despite it weak defence, it will normally get the first hit which usually turns out to be the KO final one. If you can trade kadabra, even better (although I can’t) because you can get the best non legendary special atk pokemon in alakazam. If you can get alakazam then definetly put him into your team, one of the most superior pokemon in the game. Train all your pokemon to level 80 and red will be pathetic.
- Pokémon Trainer Red:
After Red is defeated, he remains silent and leaves you alone in the cave. Then the end credits will roll. You have to defeat the Elite Four again if you want to face Red another time (his Pokemon will not be any stronger than they previously were).
