What is everyone’s favorite go to Elite Four strategies? :P If you don’t have one and just go in and hope for the best I hope you find some good ideas here! :D

Part of my strategy is always to hope for the best, but I usually will go for the types that I know I can easily beat first to save up on potion and other item uses! As time goes on I’ll use a few potions and then finish the last of the battles! :)

Generally, going in and hoping for the best works well, but if I lose the first round, I'll take that info from how far I've gotten, to train up some more and try again. :)

Well the best strategy I've done is level up my whole team to level 100, walk in with a bunch of health items, and sweep the whole league! xD Quick and easy I do say so myself! :P

This might be considered cheating but oh well. So when I went up against the Elite Four my Pokemon weren't really high enough level. I had my Empoleon at level 70 but I had other Pokemon as low as level 30. So with one Pokemon at level 70 and only a few at level 60 I bought a ton of items. Around 100 super potions and revives. When I went into the Elite four I saved before each member and then used my Empoleon as a tank. If he fainted I would switch off onto another pokemon and revive him. I used my Girantina and Tropius a few times as well but I kept using potions and revives. Saving between each battle and soft resetting if something went wrong. After multiple attempts I was finally at the third member i realized I didn't have many items for my Pokemon's PP. I had to ration them out throughout the next few battles, still using potions and revives. For the fourth member one of their pokemon could one shot my Empoleon so I kept reviving him and reviving him hoping that the enemy pokemon would miss once or use a different attach. Finally after about 30 revives i beat them and finished the gym leader. Then Cynthia wasn't much of a problem. A lot of revives but I beat her on my first try.


Good morning! And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

I don't know if that would be considered cheating, just more pressure on the reliance of potions over the strength of your pokemon! Have you done any Elite Four Battles since this one?
