Loudred Guide
In FireRed & LeafGreen, Loudred isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Exploud to unlock its full potential. At 360 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In FireRed & LeafGreen, Loudred's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Soundproof is the go-to ability for Loudred. It protects against sound-based moves. Its hidden ability Scrappy can work in specific setups.
In FireRed & LeafGreen, Loudred fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 71 Attack. Base 48 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
