Legendary Birds Hardcore Run

Legendary Birds Hardcore Run

Following on from the Regi/Gen 2 Legendary Runs - https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonradicalred/s/tcSSvMwfoF

Same as all the others, cheat in these 6 Pokemon on route one then play the full game without switching.

This was the easiest by far (probably too easy) no battles really took more than 5 attempts. I’ve done a normal/flying hardcore run before so this was nothing really.

Stealth rocks very annoying (especially moltres) but heavydutyboots late game and Frozen Mist Articuno help.

MVP was between the 2x Zapdos.

Only encountering regional variants

I've started Radical Red yesterday for the first time and i'm only at the brock fight, but every single encounter that has a regional variant, has been said regional variant. Is this normal, or have i messed up some of the settings? Would like to be able to encounter "normal" meowth, sandshrew, zigzagoon etc. Aswell.

Thanks in advance!

Beat Radical Red for the first time!

Currently working on my living Dex (only final evolutions due to box capacity) and then I'll be onto my next playthrough! :)

Mono Ghost Run

Hey guys, I'm doing a mono ghost run, but I don't now which pokemon to use. I only played until gen 4 and after that some roms. Which of those should I use? Any tips? Currently playing on normal mode and I just beat lavender tower.

4x Weakness themed randomizer run

Took a break from monotypes and tried something I thought was more niche but there are more mons with 4x weakness than I thought 😅

Why is talonflame good in the E4?

I was watching a ShadyPenguinn vod of his randomized ability/pokemon run in normal MGM, and he kept praying for a talonflame and said it was a very good E4 Mon. He plays without seeing abilities until they’re caught and doesn’t know the random ability of talonflame since he was yet to catch it, so I’m assuming what makes him good is something in his move pool/typing. Does anyone know why it’s good?

What a Ride

Queued this up totally forgetting you can’t use set up moves. Then just full committed. Glad I grinded it out now back to default for NG+. Need a palette cleanser.

Agatha can rot.

Magician?

Has anyone anyone had issues with the Magician ability?

I randomed a Magician a heliolisk, and was looking forward to doing voice spray/ normal gem shenanigans with it. But it doesnt seem to proc. I know the targets im hitting have items.

Do they disable magician for trainer battles?

(I realize I couldn't permantly steal items but I figured I could at least pull them off the target for the battle)

First clear! I love steel types if you couldn't tell. I think I'll do a mono flying run on hard for my second playthrough

Additional notes I guess: I wish there were EVs in the minimal grinding setting for a wider array of strategies. Just let me have an EV changer like they give you at the end. Primal Dialga was the hardest mon in the E4 for me to beat. I would do postgame with this save because I trained like two boxes of mons and mostly completed the dex but I hate the sevii islands. All in all, wonderful hack

Update on all doubles radical red

I posted about an all doubles format and I learned how to play with the code and I think I got it going. Brendan first fight into a double. It’s a lot of work. And it’s very time consuming but it’s possible. If people like this as me. I might just really finish it and work the AI to not kill its team. What ya think?

This game was really hard. And it was REALLY fun.

As someone who's always breezes through Pokémon games and does really well in competitive play, I was not prepared for how hard Radical Red was at times.

It's one of the most fun games I've played yet. What's really cool is that there's soooooo many strategies you can utilize. What's really fun? Wish passers and status moves, enabling me to utilize a srong wallbreaker or two. Oh, and defense. Lots of defense.

I'm on to you

So the ai knows my moves aswell as which 1s I select & I can't be convinced otherwise 😤. I went at this 20 different ways & finally figured out a strategy, but it switched on me as soon as it realized I figured it out.

For those who care to read

Grimsnarl fake out, light screen for all his special attackers, pheramosa hits with close combat, i sucker punch her down to 2 hp & she kills.

Switch to sneasler & knock off. She either takes it & dies switching to meridon or hard switches to him getting leftovers knocked off. He sets up calmmind, but I earthquake & kill.

Eternatus comes in & hits with dynamic cannon, bringing me down to citrus berry procking unburden, I out speed with earth quake & kill.

Metagross comes in, I earthquake, then he kills with w/e psychic move.

I switch to cinderace & Kill with sucker punch.

In comes yveltal, I'm choice banded into sucker punch, so I only chip him twice before going down.

I sent meowscorada in & used play rough, but he outspeeds & one shots with oblivion wing. That's an easy fix, sucker punch first, or have focus sash on her. Then I only need to deal with ditto, having my ursaluna & greninja left....

Once i figured this out, the very next run, she Uturns out IMMEDIATELY from pheramosa, throwing off my well calculated plan & this is the result.
