    I always have problems with the Elite Four. I tend to undertrain my Pok?mon, so I usually get slaughtered before I make it past Kagetsu [Sidney]... XD I hardly ever remember to train Pok?mon to cover those weaknesses for the Elite Four. >> +bangs head on screen+ And Senri [Norman] gives me trouble, too. Though, in Emerald, I had my Hariyama, so he was easy. XP

    The hardest part for me was choosing a permanent team. The first time I fought the E4, I had a weak team, with my 2 strongest being:

    Swampert lvl 61 @Soft Sand
    -Earthquake
    -Muddy Water
    -Water Gun
    -Ice Beam

    Kyogre lvl 54 @none
    -Surf
    -Ice Beam
    -Thunder (TM)
    -Calm Mind

    Now, things are changed. I can beat the E4 without breaking a sweat. Swampert's at lvl 100, and the rest of the team is around 77. :)

    yah the electric gym was HELL in Sapphire I had treeko I think at the time and All my pokemon team was a treeko,cascoon,tallow,and oddish. yah, it was hard I got like 20 potions and 5 paralyze heals. Then at that part of the game your hp is low so sonic boom and that one unavoidable lightning attack devasted me for quite a few tries:)

    Artisan Cave is in the BF and I haven't beat the Elite 4 XD

    Ya...I tried Victory Road, but it sucks. Now I'm just trying to surf for some more trainers.

    My lvl 19 Ralts SUCKS.

    Ralts: I can concur that Feebas is an evil thing to evolve. ^o^

    I just restarted my game a while ago and I'm currently on the hunt for Feebas... again. Hunting for Feebas was probably the hardest part of my Sapphire game. -_-; But for me Norman and Flannery were really tricky... that stupid Slaking and her Torkoal drove me nuts. :\

    I had lot of problems with Liza and Tate.I started of with Delcatty and Swampert with a Thunderbolt for Xatu and a Surf attack for Claydol.Claydol kept on using Earthquake and fainting my Pokemon.Somehow I managed to faint them.Next came Lunatone and Solrock.They kept on using Flamethrower+Phychic combo and fainting my Pokemon.Second time I tried to defeat them with Thunder+Surf+Crunch combo and I won.

    Second thing,I had a little trouble with Wallace's Milotic.It kept on using Ice Beam on my Rayquaza and it ended up have 33/256 HP left when Milotic fainted.

    Third Steven,his Metagross was a pain in the neck.I had to defeat him with Swampert when every one was knocked out! :shocked:
