Lance!?
 
well, i tried beating Lance the first time in the elite 4,
but my attacking are missing around 50-60% of the time?!
its so frustrating :P . has anyone else experienced this?
i wanna know if Lance is naturally annoying for everyone.

Hmm, nope. How accurate are your moves? Just remember that really powerful moves usually have a low accuracy. It's always good to have moves like Swift. If that's not it, then I don't know. Maybe you're just really unlucky?

Gooner_Tyzack April 3rd, 2010 1:52 AM

Well i haven't experienced that....but i know that every time his dragonite uses outrage it whipes out everyone...

CrashSmAshley April 3rd, 2010 1:58 AM

I haven't fought him yet, but all my pokemon are lvl 60, so I'm not too worried :P

Impo April 3rd, 2010 2:14 AM

Fix'd.
I wiped the floor with em on my first try.

Well I'm sorry you're having a problem, and we all have boss problems from time to time. You see, I think you were either focusing on a non-balanced team, or you were focusing on moves like Thunder, which are good for certain situations, but not for accuracy. Yes, Thunder = 1 Hit-K.O., but it happens less frequently. If it didn't then it would be unfair if you were battling somebody with the move Thunder. But if you take Thunderpunch on a quick Pokemon, and use it 3 times, then you should be good. It just depends on you overall strategy.If you could post your party and their moveset I could go over into more detail, but until I have that information I can't help any further. I'm sorry you're having a problem, but with champions it is always a perfect combination of Strategy, Timing, and pure Luck. I defeated him with the following team (hoped this helps!)
Spoiler:

Totodile (everstoned)
Crunch
Ice Fang
Surf
Waterfall

Ampharos
Thunderpunch
Thunder
Flash
Signalbeam

Scyther
Cut
False Swipe
Slash
Wing Attack

Growlithe
Flamethrower
Fire Fang
Strength
Rock Smash

Togetic
Extrasensory
Fly
Headbutt
Yawn

Steelix (you can catch them in Cliff Cave!)
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse
Iron Tail
Rock Tomb


Again, you just need pure luck. It took me literally around 20 tries to beat Wallace iun Hoenn. It only took me 4 with Lance. Just keep on trying different combinations until you find the best for you!

I hoped I helped!

With all regards,

-ChrisTom

I've been stuck on the elite four for almost a week now..
I finally got to Lance the other day and I had a bunch of revives and hyper potions and I felt well prepared.
I ended up using my ONLY Max Revive at one point, because I felt it was the appropriate time to use it.
I got him down to his last pokemon, which ended up being Aerodactyle..
I get it down in the red as far as I can and I think I've got him beat, and the only Pokemon I've got left without any revives is Ampharos.

"Lance used a Full Restore"

And Aerodactyle kills me..

Yeah, I would say I'm annoyed by Lance right now.

I wish there was an easier way to level up my Pokemon right now besides grueling battles with wild pokemon..

Be careful about Griding Wild's, you can ruin your EV's

I really think the game is rigged, I had my lv 59 gyarados use ice fang on Lances Dragonites and it always leave them with 1 hp. ugh it is really bothersome

Impo April 3rd, 2010 6:10 PM

i bet him :D .
my dragonite and alakazam pwn.
and my team isnt that off balance, and i am using pretty accurate moves,
if you have a dragonite with stone edge + outrage/dragon rush u'll thrash him :)

you could just battle the elite 4 where you can easily level up. However if you're freaking out over EV's then I don't recommend it. By that I mean, fight the easy ones, and then if you lose to the likes of Bruno or Karen, just keep at it because you're leveling up and getting stronger.
