Miles easier than Champion Blue, but his Exeggutor, Arcanine, and Gyarados can all cause problems - especially his Arcanine, which, while significantly less powerful due to using Ember, was still capable of causing problems with crits, burns, and overall tankiness. Without Sleep Powder, I reckon I'd need to be at least 15 levels higher.
And so ends the Butterfree run of Red. Shoutouts to CUT the Oddish, SURF the Kangaskhan, and FLY the Pidgey for helping with HMs, and no thanks to WHOOPS the NidoranM which I accidentally caught while not paying attention in the Safari Zone.
