What was your team for the Elite Four? (include level, moves, nature) And what kind of Pokemon are you training at the moment? Also, be sure to get phone numbers off all of the Gym Leaders - you can rematch them as many times as you like, especially useful if you just want to battle one leader over and over in their timeslot (e.g. Blue, Sunday 8pm- Monday 4am). I grinded my Suicune this way, got from level 40 to 80 in about three weeks IIRC, and that was only by using it in leader battles three or four times a day. Eventually said Suicune (at level ninety) became my main force against Red - used him with Calm Mind to sponge attacks from Lapras, Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard and hit back with boosted STAB attacks
(Red's Lapras doesn't have Water Absorb, so you can spam it with boosted water attacks). I suggest using a physical attacker against Red's other two, I used a level 75 Mamoswine. Keep in mind that Hail activates when the battle starts; so Lapras, Blastoise and Snorlax all have a 100% accurate Blizzard - against them, go for bulky Pokemon that are resistant to the ice type.
Also wait 'til ya get to the Glass Weapons, those things are tits.
