    This one should be missable, since he goes away after you defeat him once.

    @NewWizKid He comes back after you beat the Elite Four again.

    Did this with a Level 82 Typhlosion. You can easily cheese this by using a Guard Spec then using 5 X Attacks / 5 X Specials and then wiping Red's entire team (if you outspeed all his Pokemon). Honestly the hard part of this achievement is reaching Red without the move Flash. I recommend doing this achievement before picking up the items in Mt. Silver so you have some visual reference of where you are in the cave. Otherwise you have to solely use audio cues which can be hard.

    Did this with lvl 88 Electabuzz with Thunderbolt, Fire + Ice Punches and Flash.

    I solo'd red with only quagsire in my party but I can't get the achievement to trigger. Is there a bug?

    I managed to get this achievement by bringing a Lv. 92 Espeon with Psychic, Swift, Morning Sun, and of course Flash because venturing through Mt. Silver in a pitch black screen to find Red’s room was just not something I was willing to try. I grinded at Mt. Silver until lil’ Espy got to Lv. 88 and then gave it 4 Rare Candies. It didn’t really take that long (with fast-forward on, of course) thanks to Exp. Share.

    this is the order you have to walk if you don't wanna use Flash.

    I did this with a lvl 80 Furret, the only move I needed was Return!

    Level 90 Ho-Oh, AncientPower/Zap Cannon/Gust/Flash and a couple full restores because snorlax has infinite luck

    Got this done with a level 68 (up to 69 in the fight) with ThunderPunch, Flamethrower, Flame Wheel and Iron Tail. Set up a Guard Spec turn 1 and got lucky with the Pikachu spamming Charm so managed to set up 4 X Specials and Swept
    radu987 4 May 2024 09:21
    Did it with level 84 lantern and 6 x specials with flash surf thunder I just saved before fighting him and if thunder missed I'd reset but I got the x items off by flashing Pikachu and using a max potion if I got low one shot everything with thunder

    ok so i wasn't getting that you have to do this with only one Pokémon on your team and like many others i don't want to teach my Pokémon a crappy HM so here's another guide on how to get through the cave without flash.
    After you enter the cave, go:
    1. As far as possible up, then one step back.
    2. Three steps right.
    3. As far as possible up.
    4. As far as possible left.
    5. As far as possible up.
    6. As far as possible right.
    7. As far as possible down.
    8. As far as possible right, then one step back.
    9. As far as possible up.
    10. As far as possible left.
    11. As far as possible up.
    12. As far as possible left.
    13. As far as possible up.
    14. As far as possible right.
    15. As far as possible down, then one step back.
    16. As far as possible right, then one step back.
    17. As far as possible up.

    Another tip for navigating without HM05 is opening menu. When you open it, map flashes for a bit and you can understand your surroundings much better.
