    So basically, thats my team. Im thinking of training torterra to level 57 to learn leaf storm, and luxray to 56 for discharge. Otherwise, i have no ideas unless noted (azelf shadow ball). My guys are all level 50, so do you think im ready for the elite 4 now, and find my place in the hall of fame?

    ewll any team can beat elite 4 witha little traingin, so just get a few levels up on your pokes and the right pokemon on each elite since they have a type, which you can counter

    Before the Elite 4 I barely ever spent time training...
    I beat them easily with Pokemon in the mid-50's.
    Luxray is a bit better in the attack stat, (unless you amplified the S.Atk stat with EVs.)
    than in the S.Atk stat, so his his Spark/Thunder Fang will do you fine.
    Leaf Storm isn't that great of a move, yes, you could ensure a KO on the last of the trainers pokemon, but it isn't needed, exactly.
    You may want to raise them a one or two levels, at victory road, if you want to be safe. ^_^

    UPDATE

    Alright heres my team as of right this second. I tried to beat the E4 with this sqaud, and i couldnt get past vespiqueen. The first 5 guys were either 1 or 2 hit kills, but i couldnt get past its healing. My thunder went away in 5(because of the pressure)turns and 3 of them missed, so i couldnt do that. And each time i would get it down with shock wave or thunder fang the gym leader would heal it or it would heal itself. Also it would use defend order, so its defence would rise. I seriously need tips on defeating vespiqueen.

    I would level up my Pokemon a bit more, then use Flareon or Staraptor against Vespiquen.

    The elite four is quite easy, though you might have trouble with Lucian. On vespiquen, just use brave bird.

    you need a water type
    really helps with 2 and 3
    1 is easily won with staraptor
    4 is tricky but can be won with staraptor and luxray
    the ast one make sure you have plenty of revives and hyper potions

    i know becuase i beat it with empoleon, luxray, staraptor. mid 50s staraptor hit 62 when i finished

    Well i go in with 40 revives, 30 super potions, 30 hyper potions, 30 full heals, and 15 of each status healer so i should be fine lol


    ill update (edit this post) after i try to beat vespiqueen with brave bird

    Probably the biggest risk i have ever taken in a pokemon game. I wouldnt say the biggest mistake, but i had to do it. I still had tons of revives and potions, but i was on my last guy. Im on cynthia (Never thinking i would get this far) and garchomp, spiritbomb, and milotic are dead. Lucario comes and kills my Dialga. Im stuck only with a half heath (just revived) Torterra level 59. I decide that instead of reviving one of my people, i should just take a chance and use earthquake. Lucario attacks with aura sphere or something, and i die.

    Looking back, i would have used a hyper potion on Torterra, and then tried to live through it. Looks like i have to do that all over again

    I wouldn't say you NEED one...water is neutral to the first two on the second fight, grass actually is the best bet there. On the second one, he only has 2 fire types, one of which knows Thunderpunch.

    -Staraptor cleans up Aaron
    -Use Torterra against Bertha
    -Grab a Water-type for Flint (it beats three of his Pokemon)
    -For Lucian, you should try and use a Dark type, but brute strength always works
    -Now for Cynthia, just get the right pairings and you'll do fine

    Here is the best combo for you:

    Azelf

    Lvl 55+

    Nasty Plot
    Flamethrower/Fire Blast (im not sure if Azelf can learn Flamethrower)
    Extrasensory
    Uproar (or any Special-Move TM, just not fire or psychic)

    Here is what you do:
    On most of e4, you can use two or so nasty plots before your HP is down to less than half, then, use the required special move, extrasensory, fireblast/flamethrower, or the other one (if you didnt replace Uproar)

    you will beat them in a synch.

    I'd say at least Lvl. 55 before you can even think about defeating Cynthia.
    Be sure to take plenty of healing items before heading into battle.
    And save the game before heading into the battles. If all fails, shut off the game, and you won't lose cash.
    Now that, and pretty much what everyone else says, and you'l do fine.
