The fourth and final member of the Elite Four is [[Lance]], a master {{type|Dragon}} Trainer, and leader of the Elite Four. The Dragon type is one of the strongest types in the game, since it resists {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} moves, and is only vulnerable to {{type|Ice}} attacks. (The only dragon move is set damage, so the weakness to {{t|Dragon}} is irrelevant). A formidable opposing team, though only three of the five are actually part of the Dragon type. Take out his two {{p|Dragonair}} and {{p|Dragonite}} with an {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Blizzard}}, and the bulk of his team is finished. Due to their secondary {{t|Flying}} type, his {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are also vulnerable to {{t|Ice}} moves, though there are other options to defeat them.  Gyarados will take quadruple damage from electricity, so fire off a few {{m|Thunderbolt}}s to ground it. Aerodactyl is part-{{t|Rock}}, so {{m|Surf}} is one way to get past it. {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} can be some of the best choices to use against Lance's dragons.
