Having beaten the champion, I checked out what the postgame was like and saw the three battles against Red, Blue and Green. It felt enticing to do (though I don't know if I can beat Red considering his levels).

Blue is the first of these battles, replacing Giovanni in the Viridian City gym. The difference in level, the strength of his party and the extreme limitations in terms of what we can use (besides the same roster available before the E4, we can only catch the flying Pokemon and the ones in Cerulean Cave) make it worthwhile, I find.

Tauros is our first opponent, and it's pretty hard to find a more difficult lead to face. Double-Edge hits hard, OHKOing lots of fighting-type counters, and something like Superpower doesn't hit strong enough for us to win in a 1-vs-1 match. You either paralyse it with somebody like Dragonite and then whack it with Superpower (possibly after using Bulk Up), or you kinda cheese it out with Counter. I do the latter. Rhydon comes available at a maximum level of 57 in Cerulean Cave, but this one needed to be -defence in nature and 5 levels below the cap with Super Lure on to land a Counter that OHKOs.

Exeggutor is switching in next, and this is the time for Mega Charizard X to shine. Air Slash Mega Pidgeot could also be used here, and MCY would actually be a better Egg counter, OHKOing with Fire Blast with that superior special attack base. There's no sunshine, since abilities don't exist in Let's Go, but the stats are real regardless. If Egg uses Light Screen, Brick Break can be used, as there's a good chance we'll be facing Gyarados next (and we'll be Thunderbolting its ass).

Aerodactyl comes in on the switch instead (these are largely unpredictable, but my strategy was developed with potential switch-ins in mind) and it lacks flying-type STAB. This makes fighting-types tank its hits relatively well, but the only one who has a winning matchup is the high-levelled Poliwrath from Cerulean Cave. If Aerodactyl switches out, it can hurt Alakazam on its way in.

Gyarados may seem like the toughest threat, but we have an answer for it. The reason I opted for the X mega evolution for Charizard is its secondary dragon typing, causing Outrage to be used. After baiting it with Zard, I let it finish Rhydon off and then tank the 2nd Outrage attack with Magneton. Setting paralysis, I weaken it with Thunderbolt and then continue the work (if there's confusion / paralysis hax) or have MegazardX thunderpunch Gyarados to its death.

Alakazam may counter its weaknesses well with Foul Play and Dazzling Gleam in its set, but Chansey doesn't mind any of its attacks much. Foul Play is actually its worst attack against Chansey but will be used all the time because the AI thinks it's targeting Chansey's lowest defensive stat (which it technically is, but with Chansey's equally abysmal attack...).

Stealth Rocks are set before Blue's own Mega Charizard, this time the Y variant, emerges, allowing Seismic Toss to secure the 2HKO after 50% rocks damage.

Very entertaining to do. Next stop: Green!
