In the late 1990s, a bunch of developers made a game that they thought would be fun for children all over the world. They made cute creatures that kids would get attracted to while also making cool-looking beasts. However, they probably did not anticipate their game to be a competitive one.

Some players say that the Pokémon games are becoming easier, especially the newer ones. Many fans out there want a challenge in Pokémon, and if you are one of those people, you can indulge yourself in Pokémon Radical Red, a Pokémon ROM hack of Fire Red.

Released to the public in 2020 by soupercell, it is a hack for the hardcore fans out there who want a difficult experience. As a child, I played through Pokémon Emerald and breezed through with my starter Pokémon. However, in Radical Red, you need to put some thought into your team.

Do you have plans to get into playing Radical Red? Are you playing it already and are stuck in a certain area, unsure of what to do next? This guide is for you. I have included the most straightforward way to beat the game, as well as some useful insight for strategies against enemies.

Pokémon Radical Red’s story is incredibly similar to its original game (Fire Red), albeit with some minor changes. I think it is simply an enhanced version of Fire Red with tons of additions and customization, but the story remains unaffected.

You still start in Pallet Town, where Prof. Oak gives you a starter Pokémon together with his grandson, i.e., your rival. He sets the both of you off on a mission to complete the Pokédex, a device that records information about the different Pokémon out there.

You are also determined to be the very best Pokémon trainer out there, so you defeat some Pokémon gyms to gather badges. Badges are proof of your skill, and the more badges you have, the higher your credentials as a Pokémon trainer are.

Along your journey, you will encounter an evil organization known as Team Rocket. Their boss, Giovanni, is an ambitious person; he wants to capture the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo. It is your duty to stop the heinous activities of the organization as they meddle with the lives in the cities.

After you thwart Team Rocket and gather eight badges, you go to the Indigo Plateau to prove your skill and earn a title. You will also meet a few friends along the way in Radical Red, such as Brandon and May, who are Pokémon trainers in the Hoenn Region.

• It has the Physical and Special split for attack moves.
• It applies the Fairy type similar to Generations VI and above.
• It contains Pokémon from Generation I to VIII, including the Pokémon from the Hisui Region.
• It contains the Mega Evolution system and adds new and original ones, e.g., Mega Centiskorch.
• It has lots of customization options, including difficulty settings, starter Pokémon generation, and more.
• It retains a storyline similar to Pokémon Fire Red, so experienced players will not have a hard time familiarizing the game’s flow.
• It has reusable TMs.
• It removes the standard HM system; you can directly use HMs without the need to teach them to your Pokémon.
• It has hidden abilities.
• It has Day and Night Cycles.
• It contains new systems such as the Skills Menu.

The Guide to Pokémon Radical Red

After choosing a name for yourself and your rival, the game asks you if you want to play without any custom options. Choosing no will take you to a menu of customizable options, namely difficulty options, minimal grinding mode, and randomizer options. Choosing yes will let you play on the default settings.

If you want to customize your experience, like making the game harder or easier, choose no. I picked the default experience for this guide. Once you are done, go downstairs. Your mom will ask you if you have a preference on which region your starter will be.

Choosing yes will give you a selection of regions from Johto to Galar. Meanwhile, choosing no will provide you with starters from the Kanto region, i.e., Gen I starters. I chose to select from the Sinnoh starters because I want to pick up one of my favorite Water-type starters, Piplup.

Go outside and head north to the forest; Prof. Oak will stop you and lead you to the gym. After a discussion with your rival, you can pick your starter from the table. Your rival will pick a starter that is super effective against yours. Then, you need to defeat your rival’s Pokémon.

Head north and make your way to Route 1 to reach Viridian City. Go to the Poké Mart to receive Oak’s Parcel, then return to Pallet Town. Talk to Prof. Oak to receive the Pokédex and Poké Balls. Go to the house next to yours and talk to the girl; she will give you the Town Map.

Head back to Viridian City and continue heading north until you reach Route 2. There, Prof. Oak’s aid will give you the Dex Nav. Continue north until you reach Viridian Forest. Follow the path, and you will meet Brendan; he will fight you with his Treeko and Corphish.

After defeating him, he will give you the EXP Share and Stat Scanner. Another trainer near the exit to Pewter City will give you the Infinite Repel. Upon reaching Pewter City, head north and go inside the museum.

Go upstairs and talk to the purple-haired man; he is Falkner from Johto, and he will fight you. He will fight you with:

• Lv. 13 Rufflet
• Lv. 14 Corvisquire
• Lv. 13 Emolga

Rock or Ice-type moves will be great. After defeating him, visit the Pewter Gym to face Brock. He has the following Pokémon along with their, items, abilities, and moves:

Water-type moves work great against them, but be careful because Alolan Geodude has an Electric-type move. Ground-type moves would also work for everyone except for Archen. After you defeat him, you get the Boulder Badge.

Head east to Route 3, and someone will give you the Dynamax Band. Continue going through Route 3 until you reach Mt. Moon. Reach the last ladder going down and defeat the Team Rocket Grunts on your way. You will eventually stumble upon a nerd who found some fossils.

After you defeat him, you can choose between the Dome or Helix Fossils; the nerd will take the other. Continue down the stairs, and Rocket Admin Archer will interrupt and fight you. He has:

• Lv. 18 Impidimp
• Lv. 19 Houndour
• Lv. 21 Mightyena

After defeating him, take the ladder going up to reach Route 4. Head east until you reach Cerulean City. Go inside the Cerulean Gym to fight Misty, the Water-type expert. She has:

Electric-type moves are great to use. Be careful with using Grass-type Pokémon because everyone in her team has an Ice-type move. After defeating her, you will get the Cascade Badge. Get out and head north to Route 24 to meet your rival; he will initiate a Pokémon battle with you.

• Lv. 18 Kirlia
• Lv. 19 Staravia
• Lv. 20 Rockruff
• Lv. 21 Ivysaur

After defeating him, he will give you the Poké Rider. Cross the bridge while fighting against the NPCs guarding it. At the end of the bridge is a Team Rocket Grunt who will entice you to join them.

Defeat him and continue your way to Route 25. Enter the house at the end of the route and talk to the Clefairy inside. Then, interact with the computer; Bill will come out. After talking to him, he will give you an SS Ticket. Return to Cerulean City and enter the house with the policeman by the door.

Go through the tunnel. On the yard, a Team Rocket Grunt will stop and fight you; defeat him to go through. Head south through the narrow passage of fences to reach Route 5. In the end, enter the small hut to the right with a sign that says “Underground Path; Cerulean City – Vermilion City.”

Go through the passage, and you will end up on Route 6. Head south until you reach Vermilion City. Go to the wooden dock to enter the S.S. Anne. Go upstairs once, then go right until you reach another flight of stairs. Brendan will stop and fight you. His Pokémon’s levels are near to yours. They consist of:

After defeating him, he will give you a Lucky Egg. Go upstairs and talk to the captain; he will give you the HM01 Cut. Leave the ship, and it will set sail. Thankfully, you do not need to teach your Pokémon the move to cut down the small trees.

Go left and cut down the small tree blocking the Vermilion Gym. The gym leader is Lt. Surge, an Electric-type expert. However, two lasers block the room he is in. You can find their switches in the trash cans. However, their positions are randomized; keep looking through them.

When you find a switch, the second switch is directly next to it. After turning the lasers off, talk to Lt. Surge to start the fight. He has:

Electric-type Pokémon’s only weakness is Ground-type moves. However, be careful, as all his Pokémon have moves that are super effective against Ground-type Pokémon. His Manectric will also mega-evolve during the battle. After defeating him, he will give you the Thunder Badge.

Before you leave Vermilion City, you can talk to the Pokémon Fan Club President (the building is directly north of the gym) to receive a Bike Voucher. Then, head east and go through Diglett’s Cave. Reach the end until you exit out of Route 2. Go south and cut down the small tree blocking the way.

Go inside the building at the end and talk to Prof. Oak’s aid; he will give you HM05 Flash. Then, go outside and use your Poké Rider to fly to Cerulean City. There, you can exchange the Bike Voucher for a Bicycle.

Go east to Route 9 and cut down the small tree blocking the way. Make your way through Route 9 until you reach the Rock Tunnel. Make your way through the Rock Tunnel while fighting some unavoidable NPC battles. Eventually, you will end up on Route 10. Continue south until you reach Lavender Town.

Head west and enter the hut with a sign that says “Underground Path; Celadon City – Lavender Town.” Go through the passage until you reach Route 7. Head west, and you will reach Celadon City. To reach the Celadon Gym, head south until you see a horizontal line of trees.

A small tree occupies one spot among them; cut it down. Then, follow the patch. Go inside the gym and face off against Erika’s beauties to reach her. Gym leader Erika is a Grass-type expert. Talk to her to start the battle. She has five Pokémon:

Her Venusaur will mega-evolve. Fire, Ice, Flying, and Bug-type moves will do wonders, but be careful, as all her Pokémon have counters against each type.

After defeating her, she will give you the Rainbow Badge. Go outside and head to the Rocket Game Corner (the orange building with an arch at the entrance). Talk to the Team Rocket Grunt, looking at the poster on the wall near the counter; a fight will begin.

After defeating him, interact with the poster; you will find a switch behind it, and a staircase will appear. Go down the stairs until you reach Rocket Hideout B3F. Head to the maze room on the west and follow the movement in the picture below. Exit the maze room, and you will find a staircase going down.

Defeat the Team Rocket Grunt in this area to get the Lift Key. After getting it, go back up to Rocket Hideout B2F. Head to the maze area and follow the movement in the pictures below. Head east and enter the red elevator; select B4F on the elevator panel. Exit the elevator and head north.

Defeat the two Team Rocket Grunts guarding the door for it to open. Talk to Boss Giovanni, sitting on the couch, to initiate a Pokémon battle. He has:

• Lv. 46 Mega Kangaskhan
• Lv. 45 Nidoking
• Lv. 45 Honchkrow
• Lv. 45 Infernape
• Lv. 46 Frost Rotom

I suggest using Ice-type moves for Nidoking and Honchkrow and Ground-type moves for Infernape and Frost Rotom. However, be careful because Honchkrow has a Fire-type move. After you defeat him, pick up the Silph Scope on the ground. Head back to the elevator and select B1F on the elevator panel.

Return to the surface and go to the Celadon Mansion (look for a sign near a building in the northern area of Celadon City). Go west and talk to the old lady near the table; she will give you Tea. Then, go outside and use your Poké Rider to fly to Lavender Town.

Go inside the Pokémon Tower and climb the stairs to the top. As you reach the final stairs, a battle will commence with a shiny level 58 Alolan Marowak; defeat it to proceed. Upstairs, you also need to defeat three Team Rocket Grunts. Afterward, talk to the old man, and he will lead you to his house.

Talk to him in his house to get the Poké Flute. Then, head west to Route 8 and enter the building at the end. Thanks to the Tea that the old lady gave you in Celadon Mansion, you can now enter Saffron City. Enter the tall building in the middle of the city; it is the Silph Co. Office Building.

You can fight everyone in this building to get some free loot, money, and XP. If not, reach 5F through the elevator. Head west and then go south through the narrow hallway; eventually, you will reach a warp tile. Enter the warp tile to 9F, then warp back to 5F. You can head east and get the Card Key.

Go to 3F via the elevator and unlock the electronic door in this area using your Card Key. Go to the warp tile to warp to 7F, where you will find your rival who will battle you. He has:

• Lv. 54 Staraptor
• Lv. 55 Darmanitan
• Lv. 55 Azumarill
• Lv. 55 Electivire
• Lv. 55 Mega Venusaur

After defeating him, head to the other warp tile; it will send you to 11F. Head down to trigger a cutscene, and a tag team battle will start. You and Brendan will fight against Rocket Admins Archer and Ariana.

• Lv. 54 Incineroar
• Lv. 54 Gothitelle
• Lv. 55 Houndoom
• Lv. 55 Primarina
• Lv. 55 Aegislash
• Lv. 55 Mega Mawile

I recommend bringing a Pokémon with Ground-type moves because they are super effective against Incineroar, Houndoom, Mawile, and Aegislash.

After defeating them, Brendan will give you a Treeko. Unlock the electronic door here to access Boss Giovani; he will fight you again. He has:

• Lv. 54 Hippowdon
• Lv. 55 Excadrill
• Lv. 56 Mega Kangaskhan
• Lv. 56 Garchomp
• Lv. 55 Poltergeist

Water or Grass-type moves can help wipe out his fodder. After you defeat him, talk to the Silph Co. President sitting on the couch, and he will give you a Master Ball. Exit the building by going to 1F via the elevator. Then, visit the Saffron Gym to challenge the Psychic-expert gym leader Sabrina.

Before you can enter the gym, someone will approach you and give you the Mega Ring; it allows you to mega-evolve your Pokémon if they have the appropriate mega-stone.

Enter the warp tile at the entrance. Then, enter the top-left warp tile. Next, enter the bottom-left warp tile. Finally, enter the bottom-left warp tile in this room; it will lead you to gym leader Sabrina. She will fight you via a double battle.

A Steel-type Pokémon will prove effective against Hatterene and Gardevoir while resisting the advances of Ursaluna, Porgyon2, and Indeedee.

After defeating her, she will give you the Marsh Badge. Exit the gym via the warp tile on the bottom-right and fly to Vermilion City via the Poké Rider. Head west to Route 11 until you reach the building at the end. Go through it and head west to Route 12; you will find a sleeping Snorlax blocking the way.

Interact with it to wake it up using the Poké Flute. After defeating or catching it, head south via Route 12; eventually, you will reach Routes 13, 14, and 15. After passing through, you will reach Fuchsia City. Visit the Fuchsia Gym to battle the gym leader Koga, the Poison-type expert.

The gym has invisible walls. You can faintly notice them through the white corners of the tiles. Walk through the eastmost area and expect to battle some of the trainers. Reach the end of the room, then head west for a few tiles. Go south and follow the path to meet Koga.

While Ground-type moves will be super effective, especially against Toxtricity, be sure to clear out Greninja first. After defeating him, he gives you the Soul Badge.

Head north to go to the Safari Zone; Brendan will come out from the building and fight you. After defeating him, he will give you HM06 Rock Smash. Then, head inside and pay 500 Pokémon Dollars to participate. Head east to enter Area 1. Go up the stairs and down again to the west.

Head straight north and go over the small hill using the stairs. Follow the path to reach Area 2. Go over the left stairs, then head north. Follow the path until you reach Area 3. Go south to pick up the warden’s Golden Teeth. Then, continue to the house in this area to get HM03 Surf from the man inside.

Exit the safari and go in the house to the south with a mailbox nearby. Talk to the old man to give him his Golden Teeth. In return, he will give you HM04 Strength. Use the Poké Rider to fly to Pallet Town. Then, use Surf on the shores south of town to get to Route 21.

Continue heading south on Route 21; eventually, you will reach Cinnabar Island. Go inside the Pokémon Mansion, and May will interrupt you. She will battle you with:

• Lv. 71 Solrock
• Lv. 71 Breloom
• Lv. 72 Manectric
• Lv. 72 Relicanth
• Lv. 72 Flygon
• Lv. 73 Mega Blaziken

After the fight, she will give you a Torchic. Go inside and go upstairs to the second floor. Go to the northwest room and go up the stairs. Then, press the secret switch on the statue in this area. Head south and jump off the large balcony on the left. You will land on the first floor.

Go downstairs to reach the basement. Then, go inside the room in this area and flip the secret switch on the statue. Go out of the room and head west; you will see that a new area has opened going north. Flip the secret switch in the northern room, then head west. Get the Secret Key on the table.

Head back to the room with the statue and flip it back off. Head to the southern room with a statue and flip it back on. Go back up to the first floor and head straight to the exit on the east. Now, you can enter the Cinnabar Gym to battle Blaine, the Fire-type expert.

Closed doors block the path to Blaine, and the way to open them up is to answer the questions that the machine gives; the machines are near the door. For the first question, answer “yes.” The door opens, and you proceed to the next machine. For the second question, answer “no.”

The second door opens, and you go to the next machine. For the third question, answer “no.” The next rooms do not have a machine. Instead, you need to defeat the trainers inside to open the doors. You will finally arrive at Blaine.

I recommend having a Water or Rock-type move, but be careful against his Grass-type Pokémon. After defeating him, he will give you the Volcano Badge.

Fly to Viridian City using your Poké Rider. Proceed to the Viridian Gym, and Brendan will interrupt you. He wants your help against Team Rocket in Cerulean Cave. As you arrive, Ariana will stop you, but Brendan holds her off. Head north and use Surf at the end of the river.

Follow the path until you reach a ladder at the end. Go up, and you will find yourself in a maze of rocks. From the ladder, go through the first path south. At the next fork, go to the eastmost path and break the rocks to proceed. Continue the path until you find a ladder going down.

As you go down, the Team Rocket Admins catch up to you and will fight you. Firstly, Rocket Admin Archer has:

• Lv. 77 Mamoswine
• Lv. 79 Mimikyu
• Lv. 78 Durant
• Lv. 79 Mega Houndoom

Steel-type moves would be effective against his first two Pokémon. Meanwhile, I recommend using Ground-type moves for the others. After you defeat him, Rocket Admin Ariana will go next. She has:

• Lv. 77 Hatterene
• Lv. 78 Rhyperior
• Lv. 78 Honchkrow
• Lv. 79 Mega Mawile

Steel, Ground, and Rock-type moves would do great in this battle. After defeating them, they will give you the Mawilite and Houndoomite.

Continue to the ladder going down and follow the straight path leading to Boss Giovanni catching a Mewtwo. Lance will arrive to help you fight him, so you need to pick three Pokémon only from your party.

Boss Giovanni has:

• Lv. 80 Tapu Lele
• Lv. 80 Scrafty
• Lv. 80 Mega Mewtwo Y
• Lv. 80 Tyranitar
• Lv. 80 Excadrill
• Lv. 80 Celesteela

This battle can become incredibly difficult. I suggest bringing a Pokémon with Fighting-type moves for Scrafty, Tyranitar, and Excadrill.

Steel-type moves would be great for Tapu Lele, and Fire-type moves for Celesteela. A Dark-type Pokémon can work against Mewtwo, but be careful because it has a Fighting-type move. After defeating him, Mewtwo will escape and teleport everyone out of the cave.

Boss Giovanni becomes humbled by the whole experience, and he gives you the Mewtwonite Y. Then, Lance will give you the Salamencite as thanks. Fly back to Viridian City using your Poké Rider and head back to the gym. Inside is Clair, the Dragon-type expert.

The first half of her team are physical attackers, while the second half are special attackers. I recommend bringing Ground and Fairy-type moves to your team.

After you defeat her, she will give you the Rising Badge. Exit the gym and head west to enter Route 22. As you do, Prof. Oak’s Aid will approach you and inform you about roaming Legendary Pokémon. Continue along, and your rival will stop you to have a Pokémon battle with you.

• Lv. 80 Staraptor
• Lv. 80 Electivire
• Lv. 81 Azumarill, Barbacle, or Darmanitan
• Lv. 81 Kartana
• Lv. 81 Hatterene
• Lv. 81 Mega Venusaur, Blastoise, or Charizard X

Use Ground-type moves against Electivire and Darmanitan, Electric-type moves against Staraptor and Azumarill, and Fire-type moves for Kartana and Venusaur.

After you defeat him, continue your way through Route 22. Enter the building to make your way to Route 23. Head north until you reach the Victory Road Gate; Brendan will catch up to you and start a Pokémon battle with you.

• Lv. 81 Attack Form Deoxys
• Lv. 81 Jirachi
• Lv. 81 Galarian Zapdos
• Lv. 81 Huntail
• Lv. 82 Landorus
• Lv. 82 Mega Sceptile

Ghost or Dark-type moves will effectively work on Deoxys and Jirachi. Meanwhile, Ice-type moves are super effective against Landorus, Galarian Zapdos, and Sceptile.

Go inside the Victory Road after defeating Brendan. You need to move the boulders to the white spots to open up the path. For the first boulder, move it down. Then, move it all the way right. Next, move it up and all the way right again. Next, move it up but leave one space between the wall and the boulder.

Finally, move it right, then down. Refer to the pictures above; the red line indicates the boulder’s path, while the blue arrows indicate your position to move it. After doing so, the path up the small hill will open up. Make your way through the path while battling Ace Trainers to access the ladder going up.

On this floor, you need to put another boulder into a white spot again. However, it is a much shorter and easier process. First, move it down. Then, move it all the way to the left until it hits the rock. Move it down, and finally, move it left. The path opens up again. Continue your way to the ladder going up.

Another boulder puzzle exists in this area. Move the boulder up, but leave one tile of space between the wall. Next, move it all the way left. Then, move it down once, and move it left four times. Reposition yourself and move it down all the way to the rock. Finally, move it to the right. The path will open again.

Go up the hill and continue onward. In the end, you will notice a boulder next to a hole; push the boulder into it to make it fall back to the previous floor. Then, fall into the hole, and move the boulder all the way to the left to put it in the white spot.

On the small hill, you will notice a ladder going up now accessible; go to it. Move past the Cool Couple to go to the north ladder going down. Finally, you will find the Victory Road’s exit. Head north to get into the Indigo Plateau. As you try to enter the building, the game’s creator’s self-insert character pops up.

Named the “Dumbass Creator,” he will start a Pokémon battle with you. All his Pokémon are level 100. One is a Gigalith, and the rest are Shedinjas. Gigalith will probably use Explosion, so switch to a Steel or Ghost-type Pokémon to mitigate the damage.

The Shedinjas will automatically die from his Gigalith’s sandstorm, so do not clear the weather. After the fight, he will give you the Metagrossite. Continue inside, heal up, and if you are ready, go face the Elite Four.

All the Elite Four members have two different team setups; you will face one or the other. The first of the Elite Four is Lorelei, an Ice-type expert. Her first team revolves around using the hailstorm weather. She has:

Note that the Abomasnow will mega-evolve for this team composition. I would advise having a Pokémon that changes the weather to your advantage instead, like Mega Charizard Y’s Drought or Tyranitar’s Sand Stream. Fire-type moves would prove useful against this team composition.

Meanwhile, her second team consists of:

Swampert will mega-evolve in this battle. As opposed to the other team, this team relies on the rainy weather to power up Water-type moves and weaken Fire-type moves.

The same strategy of changing the weather can still apply to this team composition. Note that despite the team, the battle against Lorelei will be a double battle. So, find a good team synergy with the Pokémon you are planning to send out.

The next Elite Four member is Bruno, a Fighting-type expert; his fight will be single battles instead of doubles like Lorelei. His first team consists of:

Lucario will mega-evolve during the battle. Urshifu is a tank due to its high defense stat while slightly being slower than Infernape in the second team. You cannot one-hit KO Urshifu because of his Focus Sash, and Bruno can switch it for a better Pokémon using its U-turn.

Plus, it has a Water-type priority move (Aqua Jet) which it will spam after its Focus Sash gets broken. Psychic and Ground-type moves would probably be better against this team composition. His second team consists of:

Like the first team again, Lucario will mega-evolve in this battle. Infernape is incredibly fast, but the rest of the team is a bit slow, especially Conkeldurr. Thus, doing a Trick Room setup might push you to a disadvantage after dealing with Infernape.

In general, boost your stats and have super effective moves like Flying-type moves to wipe the first four Pokémon.

The third Elite Four member is Agatha, a Ghost-type expert. Like Bruno, her battles are singles. Her first team opens with a level 84 Zoroark holding a Focus Sash. The rest of her team is level 85, consisting of Spectrier, Aegislash, Silvally, Marshadow, and Gengar (which will mega-evolve).

Note that Zoroark has the ability to appear as the last Pokémon in Agatha’s party, so if the first Pokémon she sends out is Gengar, it is Zoroark using its ability. I would recommend having a Fighting-type move for Zoroark and Dark or Ghost-type moves for the other Pokémon in this team.

Her second team opens with a level 84 Grimmsnarl. The rest of this team is level 85, consisting of Dragapult, Hydreigon, Spectrier, Marshadow, and Gengar. Like the previous team composition, her Gengar will mega-evolve.

Grimmsnarl can be troublesome because of its Prankster ability; Prankster makes its status moves have priority. Plus, Grimmsnarl has three of them: Taunt, Light Screen, and Reflect. After dealing with Grimmsnarl, you can use Ghost-type moves to clean the rest, like Dragapult, Spectrier, etc.

The last member of the Elite Four is Lance, the Dragon-type expert. All his Pokémon from both team compositions are level 85. The first team opens with Garchomp with a Focus Sash. The rest consists of Dragonite, Dracozolt, Melmetal, Primal Dialga, and Salamence (which will mega-evolve).

Because of Garchomp’s Focus Sash, you cannot one-hit KO it. If it starts with its Roar move, it will force you to change your Pokémon. It also has Stealth Rock, so a Pokémon that can clear up hazards will be appreciated in this battle. Dragon and Ground-type moves will do great against this team composition.

His second team starts with Aerodactyl with a Focus Sash, similar to Garchomp. The rest of the team consists of Dracovish, Melmetal, Dragonite, Dialga, and Salamence. It is significantly identical to the previous team, but instead of Dracozolt, this team has Dracovish.

Also, similar to the previous team, the Salamence will mega-evolve. Because it is similar to the first team, I would suggest applying the same strategies. Ground-type moves like Earthquake will be super effective against Primal Dialga and Melmetal, and Ice-type moves can annihilate the rest.

After defeating the Elite Four, your next opponent is the Champion; as a plot twist, your rival defeated the Elite Four before you. Thus, he is the new Champion, and defeating him will transfer the title to you. So, head to the next room to face your rival. Unlike the Elite Four, he does not have two teams.

All his Pokémon are level 85, consisting of Pheromosa, Mega Metagross, Primal Groudon, Yveltal, Eternatus, and Ditto. All his Pokémon rarely have any status moves except for Primal Groudon, who has Thunderwave.

Although Ice-type moves are incredibly effective for Primal Groudon, Yveltal, and Eternatus, Ice-type Pokémon would suffer because these Pokémon have Fire-type moves. A great solution to this would be a Pokémon that is not Ice type, whose Hidden Power is Ice type.

After defeating your rival, Oak will arrive and lead you to the Hall of Fame.

Post-game: How to Reach the Sevii Islands in Radical Red

To get the Tri-Pass, i.e., the ticket to visit the Sevii Islands, you need to defeat some powerful Pokémon trainers. Perhaps along your journey, you have fought some of them. To check which of them you need to battle, fly to Celadon City via the Poké Rider. Then, head west to Route 16.

However, do not go on the Cycling Road. Instead, cut the small tree between the fence and the large tree near the entrance to Celadon City. Go through this area and visit the house at the end. Inside is a girl who will tell you where the person you need to fight is.

In summary, you need to defeat all the Johto gym leaders scattered across the map. You also need to rematch the gym leaders and some meme NPCs. All of the Pokémon’s levels are always near or similar to the Pokémon with the highest level in your party.

Furthermore, if you are playing in hardcore mode, some of the Pokémon listed as part of their team may be different. However, their locations are the same. Below are the locations of the Johto gym leaders and meme NPCs.

After you defeat everyone in the list below, go back to the girl and talk to her; she will give you the Tri-Pass. Then, head to Vermillion City and go to the docks. The sailor will ask for your ticket, and you can choose to visit One Island, Two Island, and Three Island.

Pewter Gym Leader Brock has:

• Mega Aerodactyl

I would recommend Flying-type moves as most of Brock’s Pokémon are weak to them, especially Tyranitar. After defeating him, he will give you a TM and the Aerodactlite.

Cerulean Gym Leader Misty has:

• Mega Gyarados.

All of them except for Kingdra are weak to Electric-type moves. She gives you a Froakie and the Gyaradosite for defeating her.

Vermillion Gym Leader Lt. Surge has:

• Mega Manectric

Ground-type moves will be great, but I also suggest having Grass-type moves for Wash Rotom and Fire or Flying-type moves for Mow Rotom. He rewards you with a Light Clay and the Manectite for defeating him.

Talk to Celadon Gym Leader Erika, and she will mention that she needs medicine for her Gloom. Fly to Fuchsia City via the Poké Rider, cut some small trees in the north, and talk to the nurse near the Kangaskhan; she will give you some medicine.

Return to her and give her the item; she will then allow the rematch. She has:

• Mega Venusaur

Flying-type moves are super effective against all her Pokémon. After defeating her, she will give you a TM and a Snivy.

Post-game: Johto Leaders for the Tri-Pass in Radical Red

Bugsy is on Route 25 near Bill’s House.

Fly to Cerulean City via the Poké Rider and go north to Bill’s House; it is on Route 25, which you can reach through Route 24. Go to the right pond, and you can see a purple-haired girl standing nearby; she is Bugsy, a Bug-type expert and Johto gym leader.

• Mega Scizor

Fire and Flying-type moves are incredibly useful during her battles. After defeating her, she will give you a TM and five Nest Balls.

Whitney is on Route 11.

Fly to Vermilion City via the Poké Rider and go east to Route 11. At the end of this route, you will find a pink-haired girl facing a rock north of the building; she is Whitney, a Normal-type expert and Johto gym leader.

A Ghost-type Pokémon with moves that are not Ghost type will be great because most of the enemy’s moves are Normal and Fighting type. However, be careful with Vigoroth as it has Knock Off, a Dark-type move.

After defeating her, she will give you a Normal Gem and Eviolite.

Morty is in Mr. Fuji’s house in Lavender Town.

Fly to Lavender Town via the Poké Rider and go inside Mr. Fuji’s house, i.e., the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House. Sitting next to the Mega Gengar Is a blonde boy with a purple headband; it is Morty, a Ghost-type expert and Johto gym leader.

• Hisuian Zoroark
• Hisuian Typhlosion
• Mega Gengar

Ghost-type moves are great against most of his Pokémon except for Hisuian Zoroark and Weavile; the former is weak to Dark-type moves, while the latter is weak to Fire or Fighting-type moves.

After defeating him, he will give you a TM, Shed Shell, and Soothe Bell.

Chuck is in the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City.

Fly to Saffron City via the Poké Rider and go to the Fighting Dojo next to the Saffron Gym. After fighting some of the Black Belts, talk to the shirtless man with mutton chops; he is Chuck, a Fighting-type expert, and a Johto gym leader.

• Mega Gallade

Most of them are weak to Flying-type moves except for Lucario. You can target Lucario’s Steel type instead, like using a Fire or Ground-type move.

After defeating him, he will give you a TM and Expert Belt. Behind him are two Poké Balls containing Crabrawler and Clobbopus; you can only pick one.

Pryce is on the Seafoam Islands on Route 20.

You can follow the instructions to reach the Seafoam Islands in the “How to get Articuno in Radical Red” section. However, do not go inside the cave. Instead, speak to the old man with white hair near the entrance; he is Pryce, an Ice-type expert, and a Johto gym leader.

• Alolan Ninetales
• Alolan Sandslash
• Mega Glalie

I would suggest a Fire and Flying-type Pokémon with Fire-type moves like Talonflame so that you can attack with Fire-type moves while being immune to their Ground-type moves.

Pryce, like the Elite Four members, may have different teams. He has two other team compositions. The second one may compose of:

The third one may compose of:

• Crabominable

After defeating him, he will give you a Glalitite and Choice Scarf.

Jasmine is in the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island.

Fly to Cinnabar Island via the Poké Rider and go inside the Pokémon Lab. Speak to the lady sitting by the glass table; she is Jasmine, a Steel-type expert and Johto gym leader. She has:

• Mega Aggron

Ground-type moves would devastate this team, and weirdly enough, her Pokémon does not have any moves that can counter Ground-type Pokémon. Using Fire-type Pokémon would be a bit risky because most of her Pokémon have Ground-type moves.

Jasmine is also similar to Pryce in the sense of having different teams. She also has two other team compositions. The second one replaces Forretress, Metagross, and Lucario with Bronzong, Excadrill, and Scizor. The third one may compose of:

After defeating her, she will give you an Aggronite and Choice Band.

Dumbass Kid is in the northwest house in Saffron City.

Fly to Saffron City via the Poké Rider and go inside the house northwest of the city. You will find two adults and a kid surrounded by Mudkip and its evolutions. Talk to the kid and disagree with whatever he says to start a fight.

• Mega Swampert

His team centers around the rainy weather, so I would advise bringing in a Pokémon that can change the weather, like Tyranitar or Mega Charizard Y.

After defeating him, he will give you a Mudkip.

Dumbass Jojo Fan is in the Power Plant on Route 10.

Fly to Route 10 via the Poké Rider and head north to find an opening through the fences leading to a river. Surf through the river to reach the Power Plant. Go inside and follow the path. At the first fork, go east, and you will find a blonde guy; he is the Dumbass Jojo Fan. Talk to him and say yes to start a battle.

• Mega Machamp

Aegislash, Ferrothron, and Celebi are weak to Fire-type moves. Hoopa is extremely weak to Ghost and Dark-type moves. Bring a Pokémon with a Flying-type move to deal with Mega Machamp. After defeating him, he will give you the Machampite and Prison Bottle.

Answer: Firstly, you need a Gameboy Advance emulator; for PC, I would recommend Visual Boy Advance M. Then, download a 1636 Pokémon Fire Red Squirrels ROM and use the online patcher at patch.radicalred.net. The site will automatically patch the UPS file to the ROM. Download the patched ROM and open it through the emulator.

Answer: Soupercell posted his Pokémon ROM hack on the Poké Community threads back on July 13, 2020. Over the last couple of years, they have made many updates and patches to improve the game. They released the latest update, Radical Red version 3.1, on October 27, 2022.

Answer: Pokémon Radical Red can be hard, especially for new players not used to competitive battles. However, you can change the difficulty settings at the beginning of the game to make it easier. I would recommend doing it if you find the normal mode too hard for you.

As a fan of competitive Pokémon games, I think Pokémon Radical Red is a good game. It is pretty hard, but its difficulty makes the game more challenging and fun. You need to think about your party and strategy every time, especially before gym battles.

The vast pool of Pokémon to choose from is also incredibly attractive. Even the Hisuian Pokémon are included in Radical Red, which is so cool. Another appealing feature of this game is the freedom of customization.

If you think the game is too hard for you, you can make it easier. But if you want a challenge, you can make it harder. I think even the official Pokémon games should have something like this system where you can adjust the difficulty.

My issues with the game are actually issues with Pokémon Fire Red; it is easy to get stuck. For example, you can enter Saffron City if you get Tea from the old woman in Celadon Mansion. However, there is no indicator of its existence prior, nor any instructions on how to get it.

While it encourages exploration, it can be annoying. Still, it is how Fire Red made it. As for improvements made by Radical Red, I love them, especially the removal of the typical HM system. I think it is a Pokémon ROM hack that belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Center Area

Center Area (east)

In the entrance gatehouse to the Safari Zone, pay the requisite ₽500 to enter and receive 30 Safari Balls before heading inside the Safari Zone proper.

In Yellow Version, if you bother the attendant here, he will allow you to enter the Safari Zone even if you don't have ₽500. Instead, he will take all your remaining money and give you a number of Safari Balls proportionate to the amount you paid, leaving you with a single Safari Ball if you have no money at all. It seems the developers did this to avoid an uncommon scenario that could prevent you from making any further progress in the game: if you have no money and no method of earning any more, you cannot enter the Safari Zone to obtain HM03 and the Gold Teeth, both necessary items to complete the game. No such check exists in Red and Blue, so it is quite possible, though extremely unlikely, to get yourself into this situation in those games.

Interestingly, there is an out-of-bounds hidden item inside the entry gatehouse. The Itemfinder will ping if you use it, but, unfortunately, there is no way to unearth the hidden Nugget in here.

Safari Zone mechanics You have a 500-step counter while inside the Safari Zone. Running out the counter will automatically return you to the entrance, as will running out of Safari Balls. Turning on the spot does not count as a step, but can still be used to trigger wild Pokémon battles. You are restricted to the 30 Safari Balls you bought when entering, and any unused Safari Balls are lost once the game is over. The Safari Zone also has different battling mechanics to the rest of the game. The Pokémon here do not attack you but have a nasty habit of running away from battle, and those with higher Speed stats are more likely to flee. Instead of sending out a Pokémon to fight, you're restricted to throwing rocks and bait, which affect the capture chance and fleeing chance of the target Pokémon. Each rock you throw at the wild Pokémon doubles the chance of catching it but also makes it angry for 1–5 turns, and an angry Pokémon is twice as likely to flee. Conversely, each thrown bait halves the chance of catching the Pokémon but also lulls it into an eating state for 1–5 turns, during which time it is four times less likely to flee. For all these unexplained mechanics, the strategy that gives you the best chance to capture a Pokémon on any given encounter is simply to throw Balls at it and ignore rocks and bait entirely. The only time you might ever want to consider rocks and bait is if you are running low on Balls, but you will be significantly reducing your capture chances if you do this. A little later on, Red and Blue players can take advantage of a glitch to bypass all these odd mechanics and catch Safari Zone Pokémon using standard battle mechanics. For a full breakdown of these mechanics, take a look at the Safari Zone mechanics section.

Center Area : Besides the tall grass, there isn't much of interest in the Center Area at the moment.

Pokémon evaluations Exeggcute ( evaluation ) — Rating: C . Though it will be underlevelled and belongs to the Slow experience group, Exeggcute has a nice Grass/Psychic typing and can evolve immediately into the powerful Exeggutor. It wants the Psychic TM to be truly effective, however. Rhyhorn ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . Another underlevelled Pokémon in the Slow experience group, Rhyhorn won't evolve until level 42. While its physical stats are incredible and its movepool is great, it requires a long grind to become powerful, and still has low Speed and Special. Chansey ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . Chansey isn't a bad Pokémon, but it is extremely difficult to catch. Its abysmally low Attack means it can't effectively use any STAB moves, but it does at least have a strong Special and a wide special movepool. Tangela ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . A rare Safari Zone encounter, Tangela has a terrible movepool consisting entirely of Grass- and Normal-type attacks. It lacks SolarBeam or even Petal Dance , and its Attack stat is too low to use Normal-type moves effectively. Dratini ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . Available for the first time in Yellow Version, though at the low level of 15, Dratini only evolves into its powerful final form at level 55. This is a long grind due to Dratini's low stats and Slow experience group.

In-game trade preparation To complete all in-game trades, Red and Blue players should catch a Nidorino to trade for a Nidorina on Route 11, while Yellow players should catch an extra Tangela to trade for a Parasect on Route 18. You'll be reminded shortly when to trade these in, although none of these trades is worth it for anything except completion purposes.

Head north-east and take the narrow eastern path into Center Area (east).

Center Area (east) : In this area, a few new Pokémon are available, though Kangaskhan is found in Area 2 in Yellow, while Tauros is found in Areas 2 and 3 in Red and Blue, being most common (though still very rare) in Area 3.

Pokémon evaluations Kangaskhan ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . Kangaskhan is a tough Normal-type Pokémon with good stats and an excellent movepool. However, it is also a rare Safari Zone-exclusive encounter that is likely to run away, making it extremely difficult to catch. Tauros ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . Tauros doesn't fair too well in-game largely because it's so rare and hard to catch, and then will be a little underlevelled. If you do get one, it's a strong Normal-type Pokémon with great Attack and Speed and a fantastic movepool.

Head east and climb the rocky plateau to the north. At the northern edge is a Carbos . Take the westernmost stairs down off this plateau and head north. A patch of land jutting into the central body of water has TM37 ( Egg Bomb ) on it.

TM37 can be bought infinitely at the Celadon Department Store and contains Egg Bomb, a mediocre Normal-type move with 100 power and 75% accuracy. It can only be learned by Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Chansey and Mew, which all have much better options.

To the north-west, you can pick up a Max Potion . Proceed east from there, using the small rocky plateau here to bypass the tree, and pick up the Full Restore on the other side. Finally, go up around the plateau to the west and take the western exit to Area 2.

Area 2 : Check if you have any new Pokémon available to you in Area 2 before continuing.

In-game trade preparation (Yellow) This is the only area in the game where Kangaskhan can be caught in Yellow Version, and you can catch a spare one to trade away for a Muk much later on. This isn't worth it for anything other than completion purposes.

Head west, ignoring the first staircase to the north and the path exiting south, and instead pass through the patch of tall grass to the north and take the set of stairs here. Come down off this rocky plateau using the stairs to the south-west, and then go as far north as you can. To the east from here is TM40 ( Skull Bash ).

TM40 is a one-time TM which teaches Skull Bash, a 130-power Normal-type move with the massive drawback of requiring a charge turn to execute. Pass.

Loop around the bushes to the north to find a Protein and continue west. Head all the way south and exit south into Area 3.

Area 3 : Pick up the Gold Teeth to the south, then head west and pick up TM32 ( Double Team ) in plain sight.

Using Double Team to ramp up your evade stat can be very useful if luck is on your side. After enough uses, it can feel almost impossible for your opponent to hit you, and with enough luck, it can be so good that it earned itself a ban from competitive matches. Still, it takes time to use it repeatedly over a few turns, and in-game you can often one-hit KO an opponent with supereffective hits. If you want game-breaking strategies, X Accuracy and one-hit KO moves are quicker and far superior. TM32 is also infinitely available to buy from the Celadon Department Store, so you can at least try it out without having to worry too much.

There is also a hidden Revive which is inside the nearby statue. Enter the Secret House by this statue and speak to the man inside to receive HM03 ( Surf ).

As well as being an HM move which allows you to travel over bodies of water on the overworld, Surf is an excellent Water-type move in its own right, being a little less powerful than its closest competition, Hydro Pump, in exchange for near-perfect accuracy and higher PP. It should be a staple move on any Water-type Pokémon for a strong and reliable STAB attack, though a handful of other Pokémon can learn it too. Its only downside is that once it is learned, it can't be forgotten short of trading the Pokémon to Gold, Silver or Crystal, so think carefully before teaching it.

If you have defeated the Fuchsia Gym Leader, you can now use Surf outside of battle after teaching it to a compatible Pokémon. Exit the Secret House and surf south over the small body of water here. Head south into the patch of tall grass and pick up the Max Potion a little to the east before climbing on to the rocky plateau. Head east and descend the other set of stairs here to pick up a Max Revive before exiting to the east.

Center Area : You'll emerge back into the west side of the Center Area. Head east and surf across the water to pick up the final item, a Nugget . That's all for the Safari Zone unless you want to catch any more Pokémon, so either exit to the south or, more likely, have the step counter run out to return to the entrance.

Link to area overview

Back in Fuchsia City, head for the Warden's house, which is the building directly east of the Pokémon Center. Now that you have the Gold Teeth, you can return them to the Warden to receive HM04 ( Strength ).

Strength is used on the field to push large boulders around, which will be needed to solve a few puzzles later on. In battle, it's an unremarkable 80-power Normal-type move that's outclassed by moves such as Body Slam. However, because it is an HM move, it can be taught infinitely, so if the TM for Body Slam has already been used up on a Pokémon, Strength is a reasonable alternative.

You can put Strength to work immediately and push the nearby boulder to one side so you can claim the Rare Candy .

Surf round-up With Surf now available to use outside of battle, a large portion of the game opens up to you. There are also some areas you have previously visited where you can now pick up new items and Pokémon. This guide will first take care of some in-game trades before continuing to the surf round-up.

Red/Blue in-game trade 6/9 : Nidorino ↔ Nidorina Red and Blue players should withdraw their Nidorino for this in-game trade before flying to Vermilion City and heading east on to Route 11. Proceed all the way east into the gatehouse, then head upstairs and talk to the young man by the window to trade your Nidorino away for a Nidorina.

Yellow in-game trade 3/7 : Tangela ↔ Parasect Yellow players can instead withdraw their Tangela for another rather pointless in-game trade. From Fuchsia City, take the western exit into the Route 18 gatehouse, then head upstairs and talk to the man here to trade Tangela away for a Parasect.

Surf on to the water directly south of the Pokémon Center. You'll spot two houses to the south. Surf in between them and examine the west side of the eastern house, on the tile closest to land, to find a hidden Max Ether .

Yellow players should now head to Route 6, just north of Vermilion City.

Pokémon evaluations Psyduck ( evaluation ) — Rating: D . This is the only place that Yellow players can catch a Psyduck or, rarely, its evolved form, Golduck. It'll be very underlevelled compared to the rest of your team but is otherwise a decent, if somewhat bland, Water-type Pokémon.

In-game trade preparation (Yellow) Catch a spare Golduck here if you can, even if it is rather rare, to trade away for a Rhydon later on. If you don't want to hunt for the rare Golduck, then alternatively you can get one by evolving a Psyduck, though you will have to train it from level 15 to level 33 to get it to evolve.

Make your way west from the Pokémon Center to the small pond in the centre of the city. Surf across and talk to the elderly lady on the other side to receive TM41 ( Softboiled ).

Softboiled can only be taught to Chansey and Mew. If you're using one of these two Pokémon, Softboiled has some utility for its out-of-battle effect, which transfers 20% of the user's HP to a chosen party Pokémon. Given Chansey's gargantuan HP, this can save you a few trips to the Pokémon Center. In battle, it's also useful for simply healing the user for 50% of its maximum HP, though using items is still superior without taking up a moveslot. TM41 is unique, but this isn't much of an issue as there is hardly any demand for it.

Fly to Lavender Town so you can head south into Route 12. Continue south, passing through the gatehouse, until you come to the first Fisherman. Just south from him on a small isolated section of land sits TM16 ( Pay Day ), which you can reach with Surf.

Pay Day is a weak 40-power Normal-type move without much battling use and generates money equal to twice the user's level whenever it hits the opponent. This isn't much, so it is not worth using up a moveslot for this. TM16 is unique, so use it carefully.

Pokémon evaluations Slowpoke ( evaluation ) — Rating: C . This marks the first opportunity for Yellow players to catch a Slowpoke, though higher-level ones are available later on at the Seafoam Islands. Water/Psychic typing is fantastic, but Slowpoke takes a lot of hits due to its abysmal Speed.

Now that you have Surf and have tidied up any previous areas, you can take a detour to pick up Zapdos, a level 50 dual-type Electric/Flying Legendary Pokémon. It's an excellent Pokémon, particularly if you don't have an Electric-type Pokémon on your team and have saved the Thunderbolt TM for it.

Purchase a handful of Ultra Balls and bring along a Pokémon that can put opponents to sleep, because Zapdos has a very low catch chance if it isn't inflicted with any status conditions. Freeze is equally good but far harder to inflict, while poison, burn and paralysis aren't quite as good but are still better than using no status condition at all. Also, make sure you have enough room in your PC Box for Zapdos and a handful of other wild Pokémon that you might be interested in.

Fly to Cerulean City and withdraw Pokémon that can use Surf and Cut. Head toward the eastern exit of the city by passing through the burgled house and using Cut on the bush before Route 9. Head all the way east through Route 9 on to Route 10, recognisable by a large patch of tall grass bordered by water on the north and east sides.

It might be worth healing up at the Pokémon Center just to the south here, which is the nearest one to the Power Plant but also cannot be accessed via Fly. This means that using Dig or an Escape Rope to leave the Power Plant will return you to this Pokémon Center, saving you the trek through Route 9 from Cerulean City.

Surf on to the water to the north and follow it around to the east and south. As it banks around to the west, you'll spot a PokéManiac (F) above you.

PokéManiac (F) Pokémon Type Lv. Exp. Moves Rhyhorn Ground/Rock 30 867 Horn Attack , Stomp HP: 92 , Attack: 61 , Defense: 66 , Speed: 24 , Special: 27 Lickitung Normal 30 816 Supersonic , Stomp , Disable , Defense Curl HP: 98 , Attack: 43 , Defense: 54 , Speed: 27 , Special: 45 Reward ₽1500

Just to the north-west of him is the entrance to the Power Plant, so head inside.

TM011 Sunny Day in Pokémon Radical Red

TM011 Sunny Day is found in the Safari Zone, which you can only access once you’ve reached Fuchsia City. Note that it requires a fee of 500 Pokémon Dollars to enter.

As soon as you enter the Safari Zone, you want to start by going East.

After walking past the rest house, start going North.

Eventually, you’ll see the entrance to Area 1 that you want to go through.

In Area 1, follow the path East as it’ll be the only way to go.

You’ll see some small stairs to the North leading to a rocky terrain.

Take them up and then take the other stairs down before continuing West.

When you’re able to, start going North and you’ll see the TM you’re looking for hidden in a patch of grass on your right – it’ll be in a strip of land surrounded by water.

Hannan Mundia

If ‘Jack of all Trades’ was a person it would have to be Hannan. Whether it be games, anime, comics, or even K-Dramas, you name it and Hannan is already a die-hard fan of it. When he isn’t on his bed binging an anime or show then you can definitely find him on his chair either gaming or writing about games.

Everything you need to know about the Red Square – in one place (INFOGRAPHICS + PHOTOS)

Without a doubt, the majority of people who visit Moscow for the first time, have it on their agenda – the most famous square of Russia.

What’s located on the Red Square?

The distance between the entrance to the Red Square from the State Historical Museum side and the Kremlin Embankment is slightly more than 700 meters. A leisurely walk along it takes on average about 15-20 minutes. And yet, a large number of world-famous attractions fit within such a compact territory.

One of them is the colorful, many-domed    Saint Basil’s Cathedral , which appeared during the period of 1555-1561 in honor of Moscow’s victory over the Khanate of Kazan. The cathedral is shrouded in    mystery and legends , the majority of which are about its construction and its commissioner – Ivan the Terrible.

Lenin’s Mausoleum appeared on the Red Square (however, not with its modern look) in 1924. Before it, the Alevizov Moat stood in its place, where lions were kept under Ivan the Terrible’s rule (read more about it in    5 things that were once in place of Lenin's Mausoleum ). But, ever since the Soviet leader found his peace on the Red Square, the Mausoleum has been the    target of heated discussions . But, as long as it stands where it is now, anyone can visit it:    here we detail how and when to do it best.

Right behind the Mausoleum, you will find the red brick wall of    the Moscow Kremlin and its most iconic symbol - the Spasskaya Tower. From a very early age, every Russian knows the clock of the Spasskaya Tower, since the strikes of this very clock mark the beginning of the New Year. However, it’s not just a holiday symbol. Over the years of its existence, the Spasskaya Tower has had many roles, including a mini-fortress, holy gates and even a prison.

Next to another tower, the Nikolskaya Tower (and right across from Saint Basil’s Cathedral), stands an imposing dark-red building that looks as ancient as the Kremlin itself. However, its look is deceiving: in reality, this building appeared here only at the end of the 19th century and was designed in the neo-Russian style not to look out of place. Right now, this building is occupied by the State Historical Museum and we know at least    5 reasons to visit it .

Finally, on the fourth side of the Red Square, which makes it a simple quadrilateral, the GUM ( Glavny Universalny Magazin; ‘ Main Universal Store’) is located – the flagship department store of Russia with its luxurious boutiques, souvenir stores and, of course, a very rich history.

When did the Red Square appear?

The square has existed from at least 1434 (historians are still debating if it was “created” or appeared naturally, since it became a market and the place for meetings). Before, there was a large field in its place right next to the Moscow fortress (which later would be named the Moscow Kremlin).

"The Red Square during Ivan the Terrible's reign" by Appolinary Vasnetsov.

As the fortress and the city grew, a settlement formed next to the fortress walls. And it needed a market. What happened next? Find out in the article   How did the Red Square appear in Moscow .

Why is it called ‘Red’?

The most obvious option would be to suppose that it’s called ‘red’, because it’s located next to the red walls of the Moscow Kremlin. But, this is incorrect (and the Kremlin was not always red). And even the theory that it’s “red” ( krasnaya in Russian) from the word ‘beautiful’ (in old Russian, krasnaya also meant beautiful) is incorrect.

Here’s the real reason it was called ‘red’: the red color was traditionally the color of authority and the staircase leading to the Palace of Facets – the main reception and banquet hall of the Moscow tsars - was painted red. The tsar himself walked out to a red porch during important events. That’s why the square where this porch led was called ‘Red’.

Who is buried on the Red Square?

If you heard that right in the heart of Moscow, right on the Red Square, there’s a cemetery, it’s not too far from the truth. From 1920 to 1985, important Communist figures, famous revolutionaries and just generally significant people for the Soviet Union were buried there. Among them - Joseph Stalin, Marshal of the Red Army    Georgy Zhukov , writer    Maxim Gorky , astronaut    Yuri Gagarin and the father of Soviet astronautics,    Sergei Korolev . Mass graves with the remains of soldiers who died for the Revolution are also located there.

Overall, about 200 people are buried next to the Kremlin wall from the side of the square, with Western politicians also among them.

Did the Red Square always look like this?

Of course not. The place where history was made over many centuries couldn’t stay the same. In the 19th century, it was still transport-accessible and even had a tram line run through it! The Red Square had its most major reconstruction under Stalin in the 1930s, during the reconstruction of Moscow. Many photos of    how the Red Square looked in different years have survived.

But, it’s even more amazing how it could have looked if some Soviet plans had been put in action! How’s the idea of demolishing everything in an area of about 500,000 square meters (an area larger than the Vatican) to build a giant necropolis instead of everything we have now? Thankfully, someone also thought it wasn’t the best idea.

What happened on the red square.

Since the Middle Ages, this place has been the focal point of cultural and political life, as well as most unsightly events. Under Tsar Aleksey Mikhaylovich, the Red Square was the place for “family courts” (if someone violated the law, they were first reasoned with within their family circle; if that didn’t work - they were then brought to the square, where the same was done in front of all people).

In 1917, the Red Square hosted mass church services before sending troops to World War I.

Under the Bolsheviks, the place became the main arena for political meetings. From a wooden tribune, Vladimir Lenin would address crowds. In 1945, the first Victory Parade was held on the Red Square, when the Nazi flags were thrown onto the ground. The funeral procession of Stalin (that caused the    death of dozens of Soviet people ) also happened here, when the body of the leader was put in the Mausoleum next to Lenin.

In late Soviet and Russian Federation years, the Red Square continued to be an arena for loud statements, although it became harder to do so. We highlight the    crazy events that happened at this place (from performances with nailing one’s genitals to the paving stones to the landing of a German plane).

Today, book festivals, fairs, the annual May 9th Victory Parade and concerts are held here; in winter, this place turns into a Christmas fairy tale: a skating rink is set up and everything sparkles with Christmas lights. It’s from the Red Square where you can turn onto Nikolskaya street - one of the most decorated and brightly lit pedestrian streets of Moscow.

9 Things to See in Moscow's Red Square

 Sir Francis Canker/Getty Images

In most cases, you'll be entering Red Square from the north, passing landmarks such as the Bolshoi Theatre and Duma parliament building as you make your way southward. Although you don't necessarily have to pass through the Voskresensky (or Resurrection in English) Gates in order to gain access to the square these days, they definitely provide a sense of arrival, to say nothing of the way their left arch frame's St. Basil's Cathedral if you look from just the right angle.

An interesting fact is that while a gate of some kind has stood here since the mid-16th century, the one you currently see wasn't built until 1994, having been destroyed in 1931 so that tanks could enter and exit Red Square during military parades.

St. Basil's Cathedral

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson 

Few sights are as iconic not only of Moscow and Red Square but indeed of Russia than St. Basil's Cathedral, whose colorful, onion-shaped domes are a symbol of the country around the world. Officially known as the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, this church has stood since 1561, which is quite miraculous when you consider all the turbulent history that has transpired since then.

Among other things, religion was severely prohibited during the Soviet period , which led some to believe that this emblem of the Russian Orthodox church might not withstand the tenure of the USSR. 

An interesting fact is that St. Basil's is the so-called "Kilometer Zero" of Russia; all of Moscow's main roads (which can take you anywhere in Russia) begin at the exits to Red Square. In this way, St. Basil's iconic status also has an extremely tangible element.

The Kremlin

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson

When you think of The Kremlin, it's unlikely that positive images enter your mind. The fact that simply saying the word "Kremlin" is too vague a descriptor (most Russian cities have their own Kremlin complexes; you should say "Moscow Kremlin") notwithstanding, this misunderstood place is incredibly beautiful, even if you don't like the policy that comes out of it.

Senate Square

In spite of its name, which refers to the role the building that rises above the square played during Imperial Russia, Senate Square is actually home to Russia's presidential administration, currently helmed by Vladimir Putin. In order to see where Russia's legislature operates from, walk just outside Red Square to the Duma parliament building.

Dormition Cathedral

Dating back to the year 1479, the gold-domed Dormition Cathedral pays homage to an Orthodox religious feast that commemorates the death of the Virgin Mary . As is the case with St. Basil's, it is curious that such a conspicuously religious structure was able to survive through the Soviet period.

Armoury Chamber

Though it takes its name from the fact that it housed Russia's royal arsenal when it was built in the 16th century, the most notable resident of the Kremlin's Armoury Chamber today is the Russian Diamond Fund.

Notable Kremlin Towers

Robert Schrader

The interior of the Moscow Kremlin is more beautiful and inviting than you'd expect, but the walls and towers that rise around it better live up to the intimidation with which the complex is associated. 

Borovitskaya Tower

Named to commemorate the dense forest that once stood atop the mount where it's built, this tower is extremely picturesque. Built in the late 15th century, it's visible from most places in the square, and also as you walk along the Moskva River.

Nikolskaya Tower

Also built in the year 1491, this tower currently suffered destruction at the hands of Napoleon's army in the 19th century. What you see now is the result of an 1816 re-design and renovation, though artillery fire during the Russian Revolution also caused superficial damage to the tower, named to honor St. Nikolas of Mozhaysk , so it's difficult to know which elements of it are original.

Spasskaya Tower

Known in English as the "Savior's Tower," this iconic, star-topped tower is perhaps the best-known of all the Kremlin's towers. Built in 1491 like the other two towers on this list, it's certainly the most photographed. As a result of its proximity to St. Basil's, it often makes its way into tourists' pictures.

Mausoleum of Lenin

Just as it's strange to learn how many religious monuments survived through the Soviet period, it's a bit odd to think that Lenin's preserved body still sits in a mausoleum just beneath the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square, given the lack of consensus about the ultimate impact of his Revolution, even in Russia.

It's not guaranteed that you'll be able to see the body (which, believe it or not, seems to be improving with age ) when you go, and if you do you will likely have to wait in line, but even strolling past the outside of the Lenin Mausoleum, flanked by stone-faced guards that almost look like statues, illuminates the gravity of his body still being here.

GUM Shopping Center

You might cringe, at least initially, when you realize that one of the most iconic stops on a tour of Red Square is a department store—until you see said department store, that is. Built in 1893 and known during Soviet times as the State Department Store, GUM  ( Glávnyj Universáľnyj Magazín​ or Main Universal Store in English) hearkens back to the grandeur of the late 19th century, both seen from the outside (especially, when lit up at night) and the interior, which might have you feeling like you're further west in Europe.

A trip inside GUM is a particularly good idea during winter, when frigid temperatures outside will have you savoring the heat, the quality of souvenirs, confections and other goods sold inside notwithstanding. Also, make sure not to confuse GUM with CDM, which sits near the Bolshoi Theatre, even though both are stunning and iconic in their own right.

State Historical Museum

The Russian State Historical Museum is located near Voskresensky Gates, though you should wait until after you've seen the first few attractions of Red Square and the Kremlin to head back there and go inside. To be sure, as you pass by its facade (whose late-19th century grandeur somewhat obscures that fact that it's currently a museum accessible to the public) you might not even think to try and gain entry.

Once inside the museum, you can plan to spend at least a couple of hours, given that artifacts here date back to the very beginning of the Russian state in the ninth century. As is the case with GUM, this will be a particularly alluring prospect if you visit in winter, when Moscow is arguably at its most beautiful, but certainly at its least tolerable. 

Minin-Pozharsky Monument

It's somewhat easy to disregard this monument, which pays homage to the two Russian princes who ended the so-called "Time of Troubles" in the mid-16th century, during which Polish-Lithuanian forces occupied Russia, among other awful things including a famine. That's because the statue currently sits just at the base of St. Basil's Cathedral, which makes it very difficult to photograph or even see without being overwhelmed by that much more famous edifice.

Though the statue originally sat at the very center of Red Square, it came to be an obstacle to the movement of tanks during the Soviet period, much like the Voskresensky Gates. As a result, authorities moved it during that time, and it's stayed where you currently find it ever since.

Kazan Cathedral

Taken by itself, the smokey-pink Kazan Cathedral is an architectural marvel; originally built in the 17th century, the church you find here today, located just north of the GUM department store, dates back only to 1993.

Unfortunately, since it sits not only in the shadow of GUM, but also in the shadow St. Basil's and the Towers of the Kremlin, it's easy to miss entirely if you aren't looking. As a result, you might wait until you've seen just about everything else in Red Square before coming here to take photos, and to appreciate the understated beauty of this oft-overlooked cathedral.

Moskva River

As you head south from St. Basil's Cathedral to exit Red Square, make sure to walk onto Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy Bridge, which crosses the Moskva River. If you look due north, you can get an excellent shot of the church framed, on the left, by the towers of the Kremlin. Directing your gaze a bit to the west allows you to see the skyscrapers of Moscow City as they rise above the Kremlin's walls.

Walking westward along the riverbank is also a worthwhile excursion, for the views it provides of Red Square and the Kremlin, as well as the fact that doing so takes you to other iconic Moscow attractions, including Gorky Park and the Pushkin Museum. The views you enjoy from the river and the bridge are particularly stunning at night, though you should make sure you bring a tripod if you want to get a clear picture, given how strong winds over and near the river can be.
