The [[Pokémon League]] building is the last resting spot before the player challenges the [[Elite Four]]. It is a large Pokémon Center and [[Poké Mart]] combined with a gateway to the [[Elite Four]] which can only entered if the player has all eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. The nurse at the left counter will heal the player's Pokémon and the player may purchase items at the right counter. | The [[Pokémon League]] building is the last resting spot before the player challenges the [[Elite Four]].

Before each of the Elite Four member's rooms is a short pathway | In Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald, the Pokémon League building is a large orange tower. Before each of the Elite Four member's rooms is a short pathway consisting of a metal bridge over a black pit. The pathway between Drake's room and the Champion's room is longer than the others, containing flashing lights in the dark pit and on the far wall. | ||
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon League building is no longer a modern tower, but instead resembles a traditional Japanese castle. The approach to each room is themed after each individual member of the Elite Four. Each chamber is contained within its own traditionally-styled building raised above the ground, and connected via bridges. | |||

In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the approach to Phoebe's room features hanging lavender and a pond with spectral water lilies on either side of a long wooden bridge. Eight spirits emerge and possess the lanterns hanging on the building, illuminating them. Inside of Phoebe's chamber, the pits are simply dark voids. A purple armchair rests against the back wall of the room. | ||

In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the approach to Glacia's room is a snowy bridge over a frosty void. Snow blankets the roof of the building, while icicles hang from its edges. When the player approaches, a blizzard briefly passes through the area and the bridge becomes covered with non-slippery ice. The pits inside the room are filled with frozen water and a blue armchair rests against the back wall. | ||

The pits inside the chamber are filled with lava and a purple armchair rests against the back wall. | ||
