The Elite Four
 
Have you beaten the Elite Four yet?
After Jhoto and Red?
How many times?

...Aaaand.. which Pokemon gives you the most trouble?
For me, that Houndoom is pretty brutal unless I beat it immediately. I also don't like Lance's Aerodactyl. I'm on my 10th time beating the elite four right now, pre-Red :) It feels like the best way to train. You?

I beat the Elite Four just the other day. And I beat Red last night. And both only a few times, like about four against the Elite Four, and twice against Red. I agree with the Houndoom, because it was using Amnesia, and using Dark Pusle afterwards took out my each of my Pokemon in one hit. And that Aerodactyl was terrible. It had a way to counter almost every single one of my Pokemon. I had so much trouble I just gave up, and trained more. Tried again, and I still had a little trouble, but I did it.

I finally beat the E4 the night before last. I wasn't even expecting to win. I was just training a Piloswine so that it could go up against Lance's Dragonite trio and it actually won! At level 35!

The Pokemon that gives me the most trouble are Umbreon, because I have no fighting type Pokemon. Also, the three Dragonites because they love to use Outrage and they never seem to hurt themselves after confused, and if they are frozen, they thaw out on the next turn! Also, Aerodactyl is a bit of a problem because I use Gyrados as my water type and it is weak against Aerodactyl's Rock Slide.

But, I did it. Yeah!

I beat them ten times. Really. After the third time it started to make me feel terrible beating then up but after the eighth time or so, I was randomly pressing buttons while doing something else.
Garchomp gave me the most trouble.

steelcurtain10 March 23rd, 2010 6:59 AM

Elite 4 2 times,and Red about 7 times

CoffeeWolf March 23rd, 2010 7:31 AM

I just beat the Red for the first time this morning, and then the new Elite Four.. I think the most annoying Pokemon was Lance's Garchomp x_x And Lance in general. The only ice attack on my whole team is Ice Fang :P

Lt_Nite March 23rd, 2010 8:06 AM

Just beat the E4 two nights ago now I'm in Kanto exploring the wonderful Kantoness. That Dragonite trio is the only thing that gave me trouble, and his Charizard, that thing would not die...

shuppet88 March 24th, 2010 12:55 PM

I'm training right now for the Elite Four's first round. The highest level pokemon is Lance's Dragonite at level 50. Is it a good strategy to have all of my pokemon be at level 50 before I go in? I don't want to struggle, so I like to make sure I'm over-prepared.

lv. 50 should be okay, it's not over-prepared at all.. it'll still be a challenge :) Make sure you have at least one ice-type attack for Lance's dragon Pokemon.

I have yet to beata them Post-Red, and I'm just about to. I need to test out my new team line-ups. The teams are finally ready today, and I'm about to give them a test run at the elite four.

Are their levels up and do they have new Pokemon? (the E4)

My feraligatr took out the E4 by himself using Ice Fang, Crunch, and Surf.
The poison guy gave me the most trouble.

Haven't gone to fight Red yet, just finished getting all the badges yesterday and started legendary collecting.

Livewire March 24th, 2010 3:21 PM

i beat the elite four yesterday morning, but karen's houndoom gave me more trouble than the rest of them combined, including lance. my typhlosion's focus blast missed all 5 times, then it set up 3 nasty plots and murdered my team, my until my seadra KO'd it with a surf

Good E-4 coverage:P Sadly I haven't even played that far yet:C I think I will get back to HG tonight; I really want to battle Lance. I beat Red with a team averaging around level 55 on Crystal... He better have improved this go around!

Yeah I guess I didn't mean "over-prepared" lol. I just anticipate difficulty so I thought making them all be at least level 50 going in would be a good idea. When I was a wee young noob, I didn't really know what I was doing and would barely beat the Elite Four by a hair. I basically hate when that happens.

The only ice move I have is Ice Fang with shiny Gyarados...but she's proved to be one of the best on my team :p

BHwolfgang March 24th, 2010 5:04 PM

No, I'm no where near the Indigo Plateau. XD However, I'm really excited to face them someday. :] I hoped that they improved from their Gen. II version.

GSCyndaquil19 March 24th, 2010 5:28 PM

all my pokemon were levels 44-45 and i got thru the elite 4 easy when they were 38-42 but lance was impossible so once i got them to 44-45 i pretty much pwnd lance

HDmvp41 March 24th, 2010 6:39 PM

the elite four the first time is a piece pf cake
my team was feraligatr level 52
ho-oh lvl 47
ampharos and kadabra at 45

the first round i just rolled all over them easily but the toughest one is the dark to me becasue i dont have ground or fighting so.... ya

but the second round is pretty tough. there really easy until lance his team is all like lvl 72 so watch out!

Dreadnought March 24th, 2010 6:45 PM

Elite four was pretty easy, only Lance's Dragonites have given me serious problems. Though pretty much training my Gyarados have taken care of Lance and now the Elite Four is my personal Training and money making group. XD

Wild Electrode March 24th, 2010 6:50 PM

The Elite Four wasn't too bad for me. Spamming items allowed me to pull through my first time.
Red I beat with a team consisting of a Level 56 Gliscor, 52 Snorlax, 61 Gyarados, 24 Geodude, 26 Krabby, and a 16 Farfetch'd. How could I have won, you may ask? Simple. Strategy. ;]
Gliscor easily kills off Pikachu with Earthquake. Then, I use Snorlax against Lapras to try to drain it's Blizzard PP and/or paralyze it. Finally, I bring in Gyarados, try to set up 6 Dragon Dances without hax getting me, and I proceed to try to sweep his team. The only other speedbumps are Snorlax (Who OHKO's with Giga Impact), which I flinched to death, and Blastoise, who I stalled out of Blizzards and swept.
Pretty epic win if I do say so myself.

fleek March 24th, 2010 6:54 PM

I beat them no problem, I beat the 8 Kanto gyms too...the game was a little too easy for my tastes so I hope I can somehow edit a ROM of this game to make it more of a challenge.

shuppet88 March 25th, 2010 9:01 AM

I beat them! A lot of the battles lasted about two minutes each. I was lucky to have Gyarados, because she killed that Houndoom in one hit with Waterfall. Meganium really worked it out with Reflect and Light Screen when needed, but I sorta messed myself up when I used Ampharos to set up Rain Dance and use Thunder on Lance's Gyarados, only to have Dragonite use Thunder during the rain on my own Gyarados. :( The rest of my team just worked it out, and it was really fun to finally use Nidoqueen with her nearly complete perfect moveset for me-Poison Jab, Earth Power, Attract, and Double-kick (which is soon to be replaced by Super Power when she levels up :P) I am so happy that part of the game is over with. I really thought it was going to be hard. The dragons weren't too bad but I know they will be the second time around. :/


Actually now that I think of it, Karen's Umbreon was a turd. I think he kept using double team? Or I might be confusing him with someone else sorry...all I remember from last night is that he was a little obnoxious piece. But I ended up killing him so I'm happy. :) Yeah that was a fun battle! And now I'm kicking arse and taking names in Kanto lol. But I just might end up refusing people's dumb phone numbers. Seriously shut up pokecellular...

CrashSmAshley March 25th, 2010 9:36 AM

I hear that the E4 is pretty tough to beat in HG/SS :paranoid:
