Can't beat the Elite 4 Champion...
 
So I beat the Elite 4 with lots of revives and hyper potions... but there's no way I could beat the champion.. I can't even beat her Garchomp.
Any recommendations of Pokemon?

My current team:
Lvl. 45 Weavile
Lvl. 52 Girantina
Lvl. 57 Machamp
Lvl. 57 Lucario
Lvl. 59 Empoleon
Lvl. 61 Luxray

I can barely attack, all she uses is Earthquake and I can do nothing.
Help?

I forget Cynthia's entire team... But what are you leading with? Get that Lucario out front and start sweeping:) also, do you have an ice or dragon attack to deal with Garchomp?

lol.. in reply to my own question.. I've gotta raise my Weavile a bunch of levels. Garchomp is weak against Ice x4. I should probably make my whole team around lvl 60 too :)

Yeah, assuming you don't have a griseous orb, i would advise getting a grass-type, or something that can learn a grass move, that resists ground/rock, coz you team looks like it gets pwnd by Bertha.

I'm not sure of it all either, I've only made it to Garchomp :P ..Well I've been leading with Machamp. I've got Icebeam with Weavile and Dragon Pulse with Lucario, Dragon claw with Girantina. I just have to get the attack in first. Weavile should be able to to that once he's a higher level :)

Yeah she was a pain. I had to use Empoleon, and that didn't get me too far. What grass Pokemon should I get?

I remember trying to beat her the first few times with only Dialga, doesn't work, lol.

I would advise a Roserade, as it's the fastest, however you could always go for a Cherubi off a honey tree then evolve it into Cherrim, but that needs sunny day to work.

So yeah, Roserade. I tend to give mine Giga Drain, Toxic Spikes, Sludge Bomb, and Magical Leaf.

Means you don't waste Giga Drains when you have full hp

Level up your Pokemon.
An ice move would be appropriate for Garchomp. Teach it to something with decent speed, and it'll hopefully knock it out.
that's really the only thing I can recommend you to do.
Level up your level 40 pokemon, get them up to the 50s, and you'll be fine, I think. :)
