Since Caterpie has no way to hit Ghost Pokemon.

I think so. I think it's typeless. But maybe it's Normal in gen 1 since everything was weird then.

Struggle can hit everything but unless it's level 100 there's a good chance the ghost will kill you first.

Does Gen 1 keep track of Enemy PP?

With enough potions and X items, you could make Agatha's ghosts struggle themselves to death. <_<

It does not. Enemy Pokemon have infinite PP in that Gen.

So basically you'd hafta gather a shit ton of healing items, deplete caterpie's PP for all of its moves, and alternate between struggling and healing for every required fight against the ghosts in the game. Including in the middle of the E4 cuz I think Agatha has some ghosts. So bring some PP restoring items for after that fight, too.

I think it can be done.

I'm currently doing an all bug run of Red right now.

I'm also using the game shark to give my pokes perfect stats and custom movesets.

You'd have to be damn lucky to do it without cheating.

Struggle deals normal damage in Gen 1, so I think TC's right.

Can you breed other moves onto a Caterpie in Gen2 and trade it back?

Bulbabedia says the only moves Caterpie learns period in the first three gens are Tackle and String Shot. It's not until Gen IV that it learns Bug Bite.

It has no egg moves. At least not in the first 2 gens. No hm / tm either.

Can still hit them with Struggle.
Nah, pegusus is right, it's normal type in gen 1. Apparently it does half damage to rock types and no damage to ghosts. Any other gen it could just barely struggle through, but in red/blue it's RIP worm.

Why would someone play that way?

Cause main series Pokmon is so bland and stale now that stressful, frustrating and unfun runs are still more fresh and spicy than playing it normally.

Yeah probably. It'd be tedious as hell, but at least it'd be possible.

Otherwise it's all about Struggle and the random stats of the Pokemon.

Oh, and luck of course.
