Lets see..My Typhlosion was around 55, and my Lugia around 55 by the time I figured out a strategy to own the E4 and Lance easily. The rest of my team was in the 30s, mainly because they were HM Slaves pretty much XD. I only really used Typhlosion and Lugia for attacking, Lugia takes out first elite, then Ty burns his way through the second, then Lugia Pyschics the thirds Pokes into faintness, and Ty rollouts his way to the finish~ with the fourth. The only E4 I had problems with was the Last one, cute but deadly..Stupid Umbreon >:O.Lance was a huge pain. Took me until my third try of him to finally beat him. His Lv. 49 Dragonites werent too much of a problem, but it took me awhile to develop a strategy to take out his RAGING Lv. 50. Finally figured out Lugia has the ability Pressure, and Extrasensory and Psychic can hurt Dragonites pretty badly. My strategy is as follows: Send out Lugia, since its Speed is greater than Dragonites, it attacks first, which pretty much is the core of my strategy. Let Outrage take about 40% of my HP max, then use Psychic/Extrasensory again, hopefully bringing his Dragonite down to about 30-40% Hp with the second attack. Heal up using a Hyper Potion or Full Restore if Lugia was paralyzed or some other status thing, let Outrage hit me yet again, hopefully I have above half HP, and Psychic my way to victory~! Aerodactly was also a problem, since its speed was greater than any of my Pokes, it always attacked first, usually dealing out A LOT of damage. *shrugs* ive actually beat Lance about 20 times...Before I owned Kanto region. Now his Pokes are in the 70s..And im still training for Red D:. Oh well...
