Walk across the land bridge, and you'll come face-to-face with the last great challenge of the game - the former League Champion, Pokémon Trainer Red. He commands the highest-leveled team in the game, ranging in level from 73 to 81. In order to take on his team, your Pokémon will need to be able to counter all of his team's types. Even with a type advantage, your team should be at least level 75 to stand a chance. With the right team, and a huge stock of potions, you should be able to defeat this legendary Trainer and finally become the ultimate Pokémon master!

• For his Pikachu, use a strong Template:Type2 Pokémon, with a powerful move like Earthquake. Pikachu's Template:Type2 moves cannot hit Ground-types. Flying- and Template:Type2s beware, Thunderbolt and Thunder will cause a world of pain!
• When facing his Espeon, the Template:Type2 is the best type of offense. Moves like Faint Attack and Crunch will work great. Physical Template:Type2 moves work as well.
• With Snorlax on the field, your best bet is a Template:Type2. A move like Cross Chop or Seismic Toss is ideal. Be careful, since it knows Rest and Snore, it can both heal itself and attack while asleep! Use Physical moves to null the effect of Amnesia and his high Special Defense.
• Against Venusaur, the best attacks are Fire- and Flying-types. Be warned that Sunny Day has a three-pronged effect:

→ Single-turn SolarBeam

→ Synthesis restores full health

→ Also strengthens his Charizard's Template:Type2 attacks

• Fighting against Charizard, the ideal attacks are of the Rock- (which is 4x super effective), Water- and Electric-types. Hit it with Surf, Rock Slide, or Thunderbolt to decimate its health.
• Against Blastoise, a powerful Electric- or Template:Type2 attack, like Thunderbolt or SolarBeam, is recommended. Be aware that it knows Blizzard, so Grass-types should be on their guard. Its Rain Dance can be used against it, as Thunder has 100% accuracy in the rain.

After defeating him, Red pauses for a second, then the screen blacks out. In the blink of an eye, Red is gone, and the credits roll for the second time.

Congratulations, you've finally defeated every opposing Trainer!

The only thing left to do (if you haven't done it yet) is complete the Pokédex. Generation II brought the total number of Pokémon up to 251, so get going!
