After being away for some time, I finally finished my Gold nuzlocke. If I didn't have to grind for Red, I probably wouldn't have burned out at the time and would have finished the challenge by now.
Anyway, Red's fight made me feel so fucking big brain. Started just plain Earthquaking Pikachu with Sudowoodo, then I stalled Espeon with Politoed and hitting it with occasional surfs. Then I just defeated Blastoise with Gengar's Thunder Punch and Venusaur with Drill Peck. I was having a hard time dealing with Snorlax. I had saved Low Kick on Sudowoodo to 2hko him or something, but I forgot that it didn't work in the usual way in gen 2, so I had to Perish Song him, switch to Sudowoodo in turn 2 and then Rock Slide Charizard on the switch in, then I Perish Song'd Snorlax again and defeated Red. Big brain, I know.
I was playing Diamond while I was pissed off at Gold for the grinding, but I don't even remember where I stopped, I just know that I already defeated Candice.
