I suppose with Sub and DT, Thunder-dance will work fine, considering this is ingame

Exeggutor: dunno modest/jolly – take out Bruno and maybe agrtha

Sleep Powder
Reflect
Psychic
Giga drain

OR

Sunny Day
HP Fire/Synthesis (if you can't get it)
Solarbeam

Psychic

Hopefully it's Modest... Jolly on Exeggutor? No way!

Lapras: modest - simply for the dragonite
Surf
Ice beam
Confuse ray
Thunderbolt

Pretty good and great nature. If you need a Spec. Sweeper, though consider deleting CR for Psychic.

Any changes are in bold. Extra info is underlined, and do evolve your Pikachu.

i will elvoe pikachu and i think i'll have sunny day on charizard since i wont have access to breeding til elite four has been beaten IIRC. i put steel wing on because it gets rids of rock or ground weakness or at leasts weakends them
 

Air Dragon

Ha, ha... not.
hmmm, fire red elite... is this your...ok, SM don't ask stupid questions, just rate!
1. Levels, please! have you even started at all? oh well...
2. even if you haven't started yet, prospective items can also be advised for/against here... pls post them too.

Steel Wing (Opted for attack power issues)
Flamethrower
Aerial Ace (Opted for accuracy issues) or Fly (for damage)
Earthquake

Pikachu – hasty/calm – take out Lorelei/water types and Lance’s
Note: 70-80% of electric pokemon are speedy pokemon... having the nature try to boost it some more won't exactly help the other stats which are barely average comparatively. Go with a Brave or Relaxed Pikachu (and let the speed pick up naturally). it's not like me to say that at all, i know natures are mostly random when you catch pokemon in the wild, but there you go... maybe you're into those kinda stuff and i gotta respect that. Hope you luck out. Good luck.
Thunder
RD
Sub
[Free Slot]
Note:ix-nay on the double team say...Ok? it isn't too reliable, even in-game...if you want to breed, you can try for, oh i dunno Volt Tackle? Pikachu's attack is frankly pitiful. Pikachu appeals to a speedy special sweeper battle style. i'd have said Thunderbolt, but as you're having Lapras learn that.. ah well. You could try Iron Tail, Counter (from Celadon's dept store tutor) or breed for Reversal if you plan to evolve it to Raichu... but if you don't, well, hope you can get a Light Ball from a friend with R/S/E who has one and doesn't want to use it and teach it something useful like in the defensive sense: Protect (risky), Reflect (not a good idea) or the like, or in the offensive (slightly if anything, like you have a choice) like maybe Toxic, so as to be an annoyer-type that can do some damage even after it faints.


Exeggutor: dunno modest/jolly – take out Bruno and maybe Agatha
Note: (see Pikachu's first note) I hate being picky concerning natures, but it can't be helped. You may not be.
Although, i repeat, natures of wild pokemon are completely random when caught, you could try for an Exeggutor with an impish nature.

Sleep powder/Poison powder (one type of powder is fine)
[Free Slot]
Psychic
Giga drain
Note: concerning the free slot... if you'd like to breed, do so for Ancientpower to handle bug and flying types. if not, teach it Sludge Bomb/Double Edge or Solar Beam. Explosion may be a little extreme, but it's also a possible ption you may want to look at.

Lapras: modest - simply for the dragonite
Note: Love your taste...Lapras imho is the strongest Water type out there...
Surf
Ice beam
Confuse ray
Thunderbolt
This is okay, i guess though i'd recommend Body Slam over Confuse Ray. Your choice though. based on your moveset, a calm nature may be best if you're specific natures. again, it's your choice.

A fighting type will also be helpful against Lorelei. i'd tip Hitmonchan for the job.

Hitmonchan
Gentle (if you care)
Counter
Fire Punch (for Bugs)
Pursuit (weak, but helps a little with ghost types)
Rock Slide/Tomb

A Naive Golem/Onix/Rhydon may also be helpful with

Golem
Rock Head ability
Dragon Claw
Rock Slide/Tomb
Double Edge (if a Rock Head)/Explosion (if a sturdy)
Earthquake

OR

Onix
Dragonbreath
Crunch
Iron Tail
Earthquake/Sandstorm

OR

Rhydon
Megahorn
Fire Blast
[Free Slot]
Double-Edge (if Rock Head)/ Earthquake (or Rock Slide/Tomb) if otherwise.
The free slot is for any strong electric move you may want to slot in there.

That way:

Lorelei
Dewgong - Hitmonchan
Slowbro - pikachu
Cloister - Hitmonchan
Jynx - charizard or Golem/Onix/Rhydon
Lapras - pikachu

Bruno
Onix x2- exeggutor/ Hitmonchan/ Lapras
Hitmon chan/lee – see above
Machamp – see above/chaizard

Agatha
Gengar x2
Haunter
Golbat
Arbok
- Exeggutor

Lance
Gyarados - pikachu
Aerodactyl – pikachu/exeggutor or Golem/Onix/Rhydon
Dragonair x 2 - Lapras
Dragonite - pikachu/ Lapras or Golem/Onix/Rhydon

However, don't forget you'll have to fight your rival afterwards so try this:
Rival
Alakazam- anyone with good physical attack moves and stats or a bug/dark advantage (move or type)
Blastoise - pikachu/ Exeggutor
Exeggutor - Charizard
Arcanine - Golem/Onix/Rhydon
Pidgeot - Pikachu or Golem/Onix/Rhydon
Rhydon - Lapras/ Exeggutor/ Hitmonchan

I'm done... hope i helped.
P.S.: Other reviewers? PLEASE read through carefully before criticising. sometimes our suggestions are the same and you just go about yelling about individual moves rather than the movesets i suggest. thank you.

Shiny Mightyena, when are you going to realize that nobody will ever take your suggestions? You suggested a -Speed nature for Pikachu for crying out loud. What the hell is wrong with you?

By the way Dragon trainer, you need to list held items as well.

Charizard: Adamant
Belly Drum
Fire Blast

Earthquake

RaichuHasty
Thunderbolt
Encore
Subistaut
Focus Punch

Never EVER use Double Team. Thunderdancing works only on Kyogre.

Exeggutor: Modest

Sleep powder
Sunny Day
Solarbeam
Leech Seed

HP Fire works best with the Sunnybeamer set, but I doubt you're willing to breed for it...

Lapras: Calm
Surf
Ice beam
Sing
Thunderbolt

well since this is a "rate this" Ill rate.
Its good and u shouldnt have a problem against the elite 4 if u use the proper type match-ups, but i think you should get 2 more pokemon to fill ur team out

I think u should change ur charizrds move set and add more special attacks
(steel wing isnt accurate enough,put dragon claw)

I like ur Pikachu, but instead of rain dance/thunder, put thunderbolt and toxic,but it is ur choice. Evolve it before u face the elite four.(Try to get a light ball)

Exeggutor can be used in many different ways,but u picked out a nice set,just switch poisonpowder by toxic.

Lapras is strong and should clean out Lance,Gary.

Why not add a physical attacker and a pokemon with strong defences.

thanks for all your tips but if your going to sugest please dont put breedingg moves on since i wont get them before the e4 and i wont be holding any items
 
Yeah, forget Light Ball since it doesn't work on Raichu. Chaos is quite right about Thunderdancing on Kyogre, but seeing as you already used the TM... Also SM has the idea of using a fighting type, but the Hitmonchan's moves he suggested were horrible- NEVER use special attacks on Hitmonchan, especially Pursuit, which is one of the worst attacks EVER! Anyway, I prefer Hitmonlee.

On held items, if your stuck, remember that everytime you go into Berry Forest (III Island) you can get more berries. In case you don't know yet, look on the ground for little black ovals. There may be a berry there. Use Itemfinder for help. Also, you can find berry "ovals" scattered about Kanto and the Sevii Islands!

granted on the Hitmonchan, Good Eye Mudkip. i use hitmonlee myself in FR, and H'chan's special attack isn't too great. pursuit was for ghosts and the Fire punch for bug types although Rock Slide can do the same. Thanks for reading through my good advice (even if the moveset needed work) as well as the bad ones...

that's only cuz Kyogre naturally induces rain, hence ther is no need to rain dance.
i based my judgement of pikachu's nature on it's base stats, though i may have been a little rash to suggest lowering speed to raise another stat. gomen asaii. i guess special sweepers are special sweepers for a reason... see ya!

What's next? Lets use Impish Alakazam since it will gain special attack naturally!
 

aipomkong

prophecy fulfilled
no Modest Aerodactyl with Fire blast/Dragon Claw/HP Water/Wing Attack is next imo

wow out of a whole thread, there is only post with good suggestions, and the username begins with 'c' and ends in numbers
 
Let's see... um...

Rash Shuckle, anyone?
How about Naughty Regice?
Adamant Garde?
Impish Kyogre?
Lonely Starmie?

This could be a start of a new trend! O:)

I thought my rates weren't too bad, and I only kept Thunderdance since he already used the TM....
