Pokemon Emerald Elite Four
 
Do you have any tips to beat them? I always lose on the last one. I only have 13 Pokemon, and the only one with a LV over 30 is Blazikin. Problem is, he runs out of PP, and the Flygon use Earthquake a lot.

That means either Blaziken's level is too low or you have given it a bad moveset. Knowing the Nature and moveset (and level) would go a long way on me helping you strategize against the "elite" 4. Personally, I think Blaziken is a weak choice for Emerald, unless you train up other Pokemon to support it.

Blaziken is level 69, and his move set is:

Hyper Beam
Double Kick
Fire Blast
Blaze Kick

I suggest that you take out... lol, hyper beam and double kick! Like seriously...
Hyper beam is powerful but your Blaziken has to like recharge after it uses it...
which is not a good thing when your up against the Elite 4.
Try to teach it TM50/Overheat or TM40/Aerial Ace for a quick and effective battle...
Well thats all i could think of right now... :P
Whats your other pokemon?

You need to do some power training. A Blaziken will only go so far at Lv.69. The moveset I have my Blaziken with is:

Sky Uppercut(Effective Fighting Attack)
Aerial Ace(Good against other Fighting types, as well as Grass Types)
Flamethrower(Slightly weaker than Fire Blast, but it has more PP and is more effective)
Slash(High Critical Hit ratio and decent strength)

My Blaziken is Lv. 86 and I beat the Elite 4 when it was level 60. To get a Blaziken with Flamethrower, you need to keep Torchic up to level 43, then it can evolve. Alternative, I believe Flamethrower is a TM in the Casino in Mauville so you can get it there.

You need an ice-type pokemon to deal with the dragons. I recommend Walrein, but Glalie's good too.

Ugh. That bad moveset is exactly why you are not succeeding. First off, avoid two-turn moves like the plague. They are really bad. Avoid them. I mean it! Second, avoid using two attacking moves of the same type. That only occupies a slot that could make your Pokemon more effective. Lastly, get rid of Double Kick. It is worthless, when Blaziken can learn a MUCH better Fighting move. Here is what I would suggest:

Blaziken @ Leppa Berry
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 12 HP / 184 Atk / 60 SAtk / 252 Spd
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Flamethrower
- Focus Punch / Sky Uppercut
- Substitute
- Body Slam

The problem in-game Blaziken is that it cannot learn its best moveset until after you have completed the story and have battled in the Battle Frontier enough to earn enough BP to purchase Thunderpunch and Rock Slide. So, this moveset gives your Blaziken the best opportunity at dealing damage to the most types. First off, don't bother with Aerial Ace. You don't get STAB from it and the only type it is SE against is Fighting. Better to save that TM for a more worthy Pokemon. Also, go with Flamethrower over Fire Blast, Blaze Kick and Overheat. It provides consistent and 100% reliable power. You might need that extra firepower in competitive battling, but certainly not against the weak in-game AI. Substitute comes in very handy against the AI because it will randomly use a non-attack move, allowing your Sub to stick. Once up, you can then use Focus Punch to deliver a deadly blow. If you don't like that, then Sky Uppercut is a good alternative. I don't normally suggest Normal attacks on non-Normal Pokemon, but Blaziken's movepool is that limited. The added paralysis effect can REALLY come in handy.

Good luck.

That moveset is horrendous. Not only is it weak towards other Pokemon, it would do not good against the Weak Four (or the Elite Four). Sine I can tell that you are kind of a newbie towards EVs, IVs, and 'successful' movesets, so I am going to give you a newbie-friendly set that should help you throughout the Elite Four challenge.

Blaziken
Blaze
- Flamethrower
- Sky Uppercut
- Bulk Up
- Aerial Ace

This moveset isn't very effective in the Battle Frontier (I would suggest to come back for help when you actually get there.), but this should do you fine in the mean time while facing the Elite Four. Good luck!

You should try and get some more 35+ lvl Pokemon from theeeee thingy.. Can't remember what it's called not been on it in a while. Victory Road? The place before the Elite 4 Building. And you should train up your other Pokemon other than your starter. Blazekin is a good choice but you need a mixture of *-type in your bag.

Lightey February 20th, 2009 10:56 AM

I couldn't get some of those so his Moveset right now is:

Arial Ace
Blaze Kick
Bulk Up
Double Kick

the best thing(for me) is get a Pokémon that can use Blizzard and beat 'em all with Blizzard :D
