This task requires teams to organize their members into roles, assigning each team member a Pokemon. There must be at least one person in each role.

Team Ludicolo must organize their team into the following roles:

There can only be one Volcarona.
There can only be one Zoroark.
There can only be up to two Chandelure.
There can only be up to two Mienshao.
There can only be up to three Bisharp.
There can only be up to four Gothitelle.
There can only be up to eight Patrat.

Team Spheal must organize their team into the following roles:

There can be up to two Metagross.
There can only be up to two Milotic.
There can only be up to three Salamence.
There can only be up to three Walrein.
There can only be up to three Dusclops.
There can only be up to three Shiftry.
There can only be up to eight Zigzagoon.

If I receive the PM from the team representative first, everyone on the team is safe. If a team's representative does not send in a list, the team must vote off a member. However, if someone other than the representative sends in the completed list before the representative, they have the power to privately choose a member of the team to eliminate. They will not be exposed. If neither team sends in a list, both teams must vote off a member.

The representative that sends the list the fastest will win the challenge for the team and the losing team must eliminate a member.

Additionally, one Pokemon from each team will be randomly poisoned.

While you're at it, if you want to earn a point for yourself, post a small description of a team you've used to battle the Elite Four in one of your Pokemon games. The best ones will earn the points. You have until 12am July 10th.

Salzorrah July 9th, 2014 2:46 AM

In my Pokemon Y, I used my starter, my favorite Pokemon, a Fairy Pokemon, a gift Pokemon, an event Pokemon, and the starter given by Sycamore to battle the Elite 4, first time around.

Khoshi July 9th, 2014 2:53 AM

My team was made up of Pokemon that I could abuse Mega Evolution with, along with my starter and a random Pokemon I got via Wonder Trade when I first cleared my Pokemon X.

Ho-Oh July 9th, 2014 3:13 AM

I remember back in Pokemon Black and White, I used a pretty cool team. It was pretty much my favourites (not good competitively) at the time, so it had emotional value for the most part. I switched between Audino, Herdier, Scraggy, Sigilytph and another Pokemon that's currently slipping my mind. Herdier had a bold nature even, but somehow, through amazing switching, strategy, regenerator, and predictions, I managed to wipe out Volcarona, giving me the win and becoming the champion of Unova. C':

Griffinbane July 9th, 2014 3:23 AM

The insanest, most difficult E4 battle I've ever had was when I was using Ninjask, Beautifly, Dustox, and Armaldo in gen 3. The entire team was basically a wet paper bag, excluding Armaldo. A careful dance of Swords Dance, X Defense, and Revive saved my behind from being run through the coals... for the 20th time.

Y2A_Alkis July 9th, 2014 4:30 AM

My team in Y consisted of Greninja and Goodra (trained hard in the victory road...) with the occasional appearance of MegaBlaziken and MegaCharizard. Nothing fancy because I take my time to get used to new pokémon. I don't build a new team right from the get go.

Akiba July 9th, 2014 5:05 AM

In White, I used a thoroughly EV trained Haxorus, which blew away Chauntal, Caitlin, and most of Grimsley, with mostly Crunch, X-Scissor, and a little help from a Hydreigon's Dark Pulse and Braviary's Superpower and Fly/Aerial Ace. Braviary took care of Marshal easily, and about half of Alder. Haxorus and Hydreigon took out Druddigon and Escavalier. I pulled out my Chandelure for a bit in that last battle. Meanwhile my EV slave Krookodile just stood there and watched, aside from once where I let it take some hits to heal up my Pokemon. I never brought out my Samurott.

DJTiki July 9th, 2014 5:40 AM

In White 2, during the Elite 4, I had a Samurott, Hydregion, Darmanitan, Conkeldurr, Zoroark and Bisharp. That team was awesome. Samurott had a plus Defense nature, i believe, and had Megahorn(which was so helpful), Grass Knot, Surf, amd Ice Beam. Hydregion wasn't even a Hydregion, until I battled one of the Elite 4 members, who was Caitlyn. But he had Flamethrower and Earthquake, which wrecked face. Also Darmanitan was really cool. He had an Adamant nature, with Fire Punch, Rock Slide, Superpower, amd U-Turn. But I dont rememmber the other 3, as the first 3 just destroyed lives and took names.

Sean July 9th, 2014 6:32 AM

As a challenger walked into the Elite 4 building, a tear fell onto the glimmering floor. He was remembering the nostalgic moment of gaining his Froakie, whom was a Greninja now. Charmander was now a monster who incinerated everything in its path, causing droughts, the death of thousands of pokemons. Zigzagoon, however. Was the MVP. His strength moved boulders, his rock smash smashing every rock in the way, his surf cruising the world. Zigazoon was a god beyond pokémon. Sean left the Elite 4 and champion with the building burning down, after Charizard megaevolved into Charizard Y, burning every single pokemon in its path with flamethrower. The war had been won, with a mere 3 pokemon in the unit.

Flushed July 9th, 2014 6:35 AM

Did a mono Pokemon run with Farfetch'd in White. It was quite awhile ago so I don't remember beating the E4, but my Farfetch'd was like lv. 80 with decent coverage moves like Leaf Blade, so I can only assume I won.

Olli July 9th, 2014 6:41 AM

Going with my E4 team from B2, since that was the last time I actually beat one. Need to play more Pokemon hngg.

Anyways, the team consisted of an Emboar, Krookodile, Magnezone, Leavanny and Unfezant, all in their late 50's I believe. I lacked a sixth Pokemon, due to having reserved it for a Water type, but I never really found any good ones before reaching the E4. I don't quite remember all the details of who beat who, but I definitely remember Krookodile being the MVP. Leavanny and Unfezant weren't really present in any of the battles due to being waay too weak, so Emboar, Krookodile and Magnezone were the ones who carried the team to victory. I didn't really have much trouble until I reached Iris. Her Haxorus and Hydreigon were really tough on my team, and I only beat her through constantly restarting the battle and going through the patterns of which Pokemon and which moves to use again specific Pokemon, and had to rely on getting maximum damage or crits sometimes, as I was falling short on revives and potions, and couldn't rely too much on those. Definitely a happy moment when I finally beat her.

Christos July 9th, 2014 6:44 AM

The Elite Four have always been relatively easy so I found there was no need for a strategy or a balanced team. I remember one of my teams in Emerald being Swampert, Cacturne, Aggron, Walrein, Shiftry and Manectric. All I'd do was spam powerful moves until I won. :)

Austin July 9th, 2014 6:46 AM

My Goodra totally destroyed most of the Kalos Elite Four, with the only problem being Wikstrom and his evil fairy key of doom (aka Klefki). Fortunately, Delphox managed to do what Goodra could not. Sylveon was never really used, though, even for the Dragon type trainer. Goodra definitely turned out to be the MVP of the day.

Abby July 9th, 2014 6:56 AM

There was a time on platinum and heartgold where i beat the elite four with reigon exclusive pokemon, bred them, traded them to diamond and beat the oute game with those pokemon.

Omicron July 9th, 2014 7:01 AM

A Water Monotype I played in HG. My team consisted of Tentacruel, Lanturn, Slowbro, Feraligatr, Cloyster and Quagsire. Quagsire was my MVP, it is a great pokémon to use. It took on many Gyms by itself. The E4 was piece of cake. Quagsire and Lanturn took on Will both times. Slowbro beat Bruno and Koga. Feraligatr Brick Breaked most of Karen's Pokémon. Cloyster took care of the dragons and between the rest we easily beat the rest of Lance's Pokémon. Beating Red required a lot of teamwork, but with help from Tentacruel's Toxic Spikes it wasn't really hard. It was one of the most fun runs I've ever played.

Haru July 9th, 2014 7:06 AM

In blue version, I caught an abra, evolved it. Destroyed everything that dare stand in my way.

Tsutarja July 9th, 2014 7:16 AM

I evolved my Fennekin up to Delphox to get to the Elite 4, and it was pretty much the main Pokémon on my team. I used moves such as Flamethrower, Psychic, Mystical Fire, and Psybeam. I didn't have to use any other Pokémon considering that the Elite 4 had Pokémon of much lower level than my Delphox. On the rest of my team though, I had Diggersby, Blaziken, Venusaur, Lucario, and Fletchling.

Bluerang1 July 9th, 2014 7:42 AM

In X:
Delphox
Roserade
Noivern
Sylveon
Pangoro
Furfrou

Aquacorde July 9th, 2014 7:57 AM

I made it about 75% through Kalos without finding a flyer I wanted to use, so when Mawile, Roserade, Greninja, Blaziken, and Amaurus were all about level 50 I gave up and went back for a Zubat which I caught at like... level 15 haha. Spent a loooot of time training her up to match the rest, and then hit the E4 when everyone was like level 60 and... didn't go battle them haha. I wanted to collect all the clothes in the game so I spent a few days in the Battle Chateau making money. As a side effect of that, both my E4 team AND my B Team ended up around level 90s. I, uh, had no problem with the E4 when I finally went there lmao.

Necrum July 9th, 2014 8:25 AM

I had an entire team of fighting Pokemon in Pokemon White Version which was all named after characters from the anime Yu-Yu Hakusho. They were pretty awesome. Unova has cool fighting types.

El Héroe Oscuro July 9th, 2014 8:36 AM

I remember in my first run through of Pokemon Diamond, I challenged the Elite 4 with only 5 pokemon: Turtwig, Pachirisu, Munchlax, and the two different versions of the Gastrodons. Probably one of the weirdest playthroughs ever for myself, but for 3 of those pokemon I just didn't want to evolve because I thought they were adorable. I digress - beating the Elite 4 was definitely a challenge with that team (I got my ass handed to me a few teams) but eventually I was able to beat it, which made it even the more satisfying to see preevolved pokemon be a huge part in my team's success.

Most memorable E4 defeat for me was in Crystal where I used Shuckie the Shuckle and nothing else. It walled absolutely everything and Bide was my key to victory, even against Lance. Though I did have to train it to around lv. 70 for that to become possible.. still surprised my kid self had the patience though. I was, at most, 10 years old. Props. Too bad Silver couldn't get his hands on the thing. ;P

Jake♫ July 9th, 2014 8:58 AM

Let's take a step back. A step all the way back to a simpler time: 13 years ago, 1999. Enter seven year old Jake, just getting a Gameboy Pocket, and begging his mom to buy him Pokémon Red so he can play with the rest of his friends. Eventually she gives in, and so begins our story.

Young Jake didn't fully understand all of the nuances of Pokémon: type effectiveness, what attacks were good, or any sort of strategic planning. Of course, he was seven, so this was completely understandable. He just decided that his starter Pokémon, Bulbasaur, was the coolest thing ever, and from there he picked whatever he either came across first (like Pidgey), or whatever he thought looked cool (like Growlithe). After brute forcing his way through the game, and figuring out how to evolve things with a little experimentation, input from friends, and a lot of luck, Young Jake ended up with a team like this before the Elite Four.

http://pkmn.net/sprites/rb/3.PNG http://pkmn.net/sprites/rb/18.PNG http://pkmn.net/sprites/rb/59.PNG http://pkmn.net/sprites/rb/73.PNG http://pkmn.net/sprites/rb/97.PNG http://pkmn.net/sprites/rb/51.PNG

Dang those sprites have totally stood the test of time.

Of course, after struggling his way through Victory Road, and attempting to face the Elite Four, Young Jake was severely underlevelled compared to the trainers that he was up against. After consulting with some friends, Young Jake learned about something that could potentially help. What was it you ask?

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/98/Missingno_RB.png

This guy right here.

After hearing about the MissingNo. glitch and the way to get infinite Rare Candies (which, Young Jake didn't even know what they did to begin with), Young Jake went and spoke with the Old Man to learn how to catch a Weedle. After learning a lesson he clearly already knew, he flew to Cinnabar Island and Surfed on the right coast until he encountered MissingNo. After defeating it, he looked into his bag and saw he had infinite...Pokeballs. No one decided to tell him it was the seventh move slot in your bag.

After consulting with friends the next day, he re-attempted the glitch, and had his infinite Rare Candies. Awesome, now he can just level-up to around equal levels to have a fulfilling series of battles to achieve the title of Pokémon League Champion. Of course, he was seven, so do we think he did that?

...and that's the story of how I Rare Candy'd my team to Level 100 and swept the Elite Four. Definitely is the most memorable for me, just because it was the first!

Wobbu July 9th, 2014 9:22 AM

In X I used a Malamar that unintentionally swept the whole Elite Four and Champion because of Contrary + Superpower. I only used it because squids are cool >_>

I had other Pokémon too, like Noivern, Greninja, Trevenant, Carbink, and Clawitzer, but they all kicked it in the backseat because Malamar.

Arc July 9th, 2014 9:44 AM

For my Pokemon White. This is the team I used to become the real Champion when defeating Alder. Samurott, Lilligant, Victini, Archeops, Haxorus, and Bisharp. This is one of my favourite teams I've ever used in a run. It covers the Fire-Grass-Water synergy, and each one of my Pokemon do not share a single type. I was also really fond of the nicknames they all had too. Loved every member of this team, that I actually gave them all a chance when fighting Alder, each one of them took down at least one of Alder's Pokemon.
