=== Elite Four challenge ===

==== Battle 1: Lorelei ====

The first member of the Elite Four is [[Lorelei]], a master {{type2|Ice}} Trainer.  Three of her five Pokémon are {{2t|Water|Ice}}-type elementals, so be wary of type-matchups.  {{type2|Grass}}s may seem like a good idea, but they'll only be useful against her {{p|Slowbro}}.  Trainers are better off throwing a few {{m|thunderbolt}}s to clear through her team.  Her {{p|Jynx}} is an {{2t|Ice|Psychic}}-type, so try hitting it with a {{m|Flamethrower}} or {{m|Crunch}} to finish it off.  {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} are decent candidates; Zapdos learns {{m|Thunder}} at level 85, and Moltres can learn Flamethrower at level 49.  Only bring them if they are higher-leveled, though, since their secondary {{type2|Flying}} is vulnerable to {{t|ice}} attacks.

==== Battle 2: Bruno ====

The second member of the Elite Four is [[Bruno]], a master {{type2|Fighting}} Trainer.  That being said, only three of his five Pokémon are actually part of the Fighting-type.  A strong {{type2|Water}} like {{p|Cloyster}} or {{p|Gyarados}} can {{m|Surf|flood}} the battlefield, eliminating his two {{p|Onix}} with little resistance.  Dispatch a strong {{type2|Psychic}} to deal with the other three, though a high-powered {{t|Flying|bird}} like {{p|Zapdos}} can take them out with {{m|Drill Peck}} or {{m|Sky Attack}}.  For reinforcements, consider bringing a {{p|Starmie}} or {{p|Slowbro}} along, since their {{2t|Water|Psychic}} combination will be a strong point here.

==== Battle 3: Agatha ====

The third member of the Elite Four is [[Agatha]], a master {{type2|Ghost}} Trainer.  Only {{t|Ghost}}- and {{t|Dark}}-type moves (like {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Bite}}) can effectively damage Agatha's team, but {{t|psychic}} attacks can exploit the {{type2|Poison}} present in her {{p|Arbok}} and {{p|Golbat}}.  {{type2|Ground}} moves can seem to deal some heavy damage, but are totally ineffective against her vampire bat and her ghosts Levitate.  Take out her two {{p|Gengar}} as soon as possible, or their {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Hypnosis}} attacks will get annoying really quick.

==== Battle 4: Lance ====

The fourth and final member of the Elite Four is [[Lance]], a master {{type2|Dragon}} Trainer, and leader of the Elite Four.  The Dragon-type is probably the strongest type in the game, since it resists {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{t|Water}}-type moves, and is only weak to {{t|Dragon}}- and {{t|Ice}}-type attacks.  A formidable opposing team, though only three of the five are actually part of the {{t|Dragon}}-type.  Call in a {{m|blizzard}} to take out his two {{p|Dragonair}} and his {{p|Dragonite}}, and the bulk of his team is finished.  Due to the secondary {{type2|Flying}}, his  {{p|Aerodactyl}} is also vulnerable to {{t|Ice}} moves, though there are other options to defeat them.  Gyarados will take quadruple damage from {{t|Electric|electricity}}, so one good {{m|Thunderbolt}} should ground it.  Aerodactyl is part-{{t|Rock}}, so a {{m|Surf|flooded}} battlefield is one of its worst nightmares.  {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} are the best choices to use against Lance's dragons.
