Take the hallway past the Poké Mart counter, and step into the first room.  Lorelei's {{t|Ice|sub-zero}} army awaits!  

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

[[File:Lorelei Room RBY.png|thumb|Battle 1: Lorelei]]

The first member of the Elite Four is [[Lorelei]], a master {{type|Ice}} Trainer.  Three of her five Pokémon are {{2t|Water|Ice}}-types, so be wary of type-matchups.  {{type|Grass}}s may seem like a good idea, but they'll only be useful against her {{p|Slowbro}}.  A better option is using {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, as most of her team share the Water type.  As an {{2t|Ice|Psychic}}-type, her {{p|Jynx}} is vulnerable to {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Rock}} attacks.  {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} are great candidates to use against Lorelei; Zapdos learns {{m|Thunder}} at level 51, and Moltres can learn {{m|Fire Blast}} through [[TM38]].  Keep in mind that their secondary {{t|Flying}} type makes Zapdos vulnerable to Ice moves, while Moltres' Fire type eliminates its weakness.

Defeating Lorelei opens the door to the second room.  Bruno's team of {{t|Fighting|martial artists}} awaits!

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

The second member of the Elite Four is [[Bruno]], a master {{type|Fighting}} Trainer.  That being said, only three of his five Pokémon are actually part of the Fighting type.  {{t|Flying}} Pokémon can wreak havoc against his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Machamp}}, but {{p|Hitmonchan}} can fight back with {{m|Ice Punch}} and {{m|ThunderPunch}}.  A strong {{t|Water}} Pokémon can flood the battlefield with {{m|Surf}}, leaving his two {{p|Onix}} waterlogged.  For reinforcements, consider bringing a {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Starmie}} along, as their {{2t|Water|Psychic}} typing will prove useful here.

Defeating Bruno opens the door to the third room.  Agatha's team from the {{t|Ghost|spirit world}} awaits!

Defeating Agatha unlocks the door to the fourth room.  Lance and his ferocious {{t|dragon}}s await your challenge!

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

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 probably the strongest type in the game, since it resists {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} moves, and is only vulnerable to {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ice}} attacks.  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.

==== Champion battle ====

{{ga|Blue}} defeated the Elite Four before you even set foot in {{ka|Victory Road}}, and now the title of Indigo League Champion rests with him.  The first half of his team will always consist of {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Exeggutor}}, so plan accordingly.  The second half changes depending on his {{p|Eevee}}'s evolved form.  {{p|Zapdos}} can terrorize his Exeggutor with {{m|Drill Peck}}, and {{p|Cloyster}} (or {{p|Vaporeon}}) with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.  A strong {{t|Water}} Pokémon can wash away his Sandslash and {{p|Ninetales}} (or {{p|Flareon}}) with {{m|Surf}}.  {{t|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Onix}} or {{p|Rhydon}} are the most effective against his {{p|Jolteon}}.  The most annoying opponent may be his Alakazam with its {{m|Recover}} move; its {{stat|Defense}} is fairly low, so hit it fast and hard with a physical move like {{m|Earthquake}}.
