You need Pokemon 80 - 90 or have a lvl 100 pokemon

That is really overkill. You just have to play it smart. I beat him right after I got all badges, with:
Meganium (lv50), Kadabra (lv48), Miltank (lv46), suicune (lv43), noctowl (lv46) and lapras (lv49).

The trick is to always try to use types that are strong vs his pokemons or that are just strong alltogether. Meganium I used vs pikachu (electricity is weak against grass) and blastiose, and suicune/lapras vs charizard. Noctowl vs venusaur (flying is strong vs grass + you can dodge solarbeam with fly). Espeon and snorlax I just put to sleep and kept bashing with alll I had and used revive and (hyper)potions on my fainted Pokemon untill I killed them.

What I found really important is to have some tanky pokemons (e.g. Lapras, meganium, miltank) and preferably some that can put to sleep/confuse(e.g. Lapras, noctowl, kadabra), so your Pokemon will get hit as little as possible. TheyÂ´ll always die pretty fast otherwise (unless they are as high level as reds Pokemon ofc).

The last comment is right. Pikachu is easy because it's not very good. First off, spend the money and time to get the Larvitar in Kanto then evolve it into Tyranitar. Mine was at lvl 60 the first time I defeated Red. It had the moves Crunch, Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Fire Punch. Use Earthquake against Pikachu, and it will drop in one or two shots. Just keep using Rock Slide against Snorlax and it will flinch sometimes. It will take awhile to bring down Snorlax, he's actually the hardest of the six. Espeon can't hurt Tyranitar because it only knows Psychic moves. Use Crunch on espeon. For Venusaur, you can use earthquake or fire punch. For Charizard, use rock slide, and switch to a good grass or electric for blastoise. I recommend Raikou if you got him or Raichu with Thunderbolt/Thunder.

I beat him with a Lvl. 54 Umbreon, Lvl. 47 Suicune, Lvl. 47 Rhydon, Lvl. 47 Typhlosion, and Lvl. 48 Gyrados. My 6th Pokemon was a Lvl. 12 Bellsprout that I use as my HM slave. I beat the Pikachu with my Rhydon. That was easy. Then I used Umbreon to beat the Espeon. Then I used Rhydon again to beat Snorlax. I used dynamic punch to confuse it, then hit it about 6 times with earthquake. I beat the venasaur with my Typhlosion. I beat the Blastoise with my Umbreon. Last I beat the charizard with my Gyrados. I never even needed to use Suicune.
