This is a max investment video. Max investment clears are not my cup of tea, however, I was fortunate enough to pull his 5th copy early and to say good bye to the Mix Banner, I made a video showcasing Red’s capabilities at his strongest form.
0:00 – v Azelf
A TM MPR reliant clear. Against Azelf’s immense offensive pressure and defense disruption kits, Red’s only job is to stay healthy and alive and Azelf should fall after 3 syncs. 5/5 EXR makes this clear a lot easier than it has to.

03:32 v Cresselia
Mix red is blessed with immunity to Poison and Paralysis This, couples with the fact that Red’s moves bypass accuracy check to always land, makes him the ultimate counter to Cresselia’s funny shenanigans. This clear is doable at 2/5 EX.

07:49 v Latias
Another case of Red being a good counter to a LA boss. His offensive debuffs and spread attacks are just perfect for Latias. He also doesn’t need to worry about slippery slope. Also doable at 2/5 EX.

12:22 v Latios
Not much to say about this clear, it’s just Latios….

15:30 v Raikou
Against a LA boss that doesn’t carry any gimmicks in particular, Red easily breaks through. Having Lithe on grid, again, comes in really handy, but the true MVPs of this fight are Red’s longevity and high damage output.

18:26 v Tapu Bulu
Grassy Terrain enables Red and Tapu Bulu gives him exactly that. This is the only stage that only requires 1/5 Red to pull through, and the reasons are obvious.

21:16 v Terrakion
Terrakion is a little bit problematic for Red, since despite being a field unit, Red doesn’t have consistent Grassy Terrain. The fight is essentially about reserving terrain for Bar 2 & 3, while quickly dealing enough damage to wipe out Terrakion before terrain runs out. Def and speed debuffs are annoying, hence I took some nodes to help with gauge.

25:03 v Uxie
Another case of reserving and making good use of grassy terrain, but this time, to heal up. Max moves do a good job of neglecting Uxie’s passives, however, Red still needs to stall his way through a little bit. TM MPR is required for additional healing and more defensive buffs.

30:45 v Registeel
Same with most of the legendary arena bosses, Red takes hit and quickly annihilate. He needs def crush to maximize his damage output since he doesn’t get to keep terrain up for long. The clear is quite easy but does require good debuff luck from def crush.

Would you be willing to do Regirock? It's not easy but definitely doable with EX R.
