5th Gen What Pokémon won you the Elite Four in B/W

My lineup at the time was:

- Samurott Lv 70
- Darmanitan Lv70
- Krookodile Lv 70
- Hax0rus Lv 75

Needless to say the rest were a waste because Haxorus swept everything with help of a few ethers to replenish Dragon Claw's PP.

my first playthrough of bac/white my team was as follows

-Galvantula lvl 80
-Bisharp lvl 81
-Golurk lvl 82
-Braviary lvl 81
-Beartic lvl 82
-Hydreigon lvl 83
(yes i did some intense training i always do this on my first playthough of pokemon games that way im more then prepared anyways only useful one really were my Hydreigon and Golurk the rest were just there... for nothing... xD!)

My playthrough team was this:

Emboar
Bisharp
Beartic
Eelektross
Excadrill
Resh for the last battles

The poke that truly saved me alot was Eelektross, one of my favorite 5th gen pokes! :D

For Alder:

My prized lv100 Bisharp <3

Though it was only lv68 at the time. I had actually just bred and traded one from white to black and used it as my starter. It was the last member alive on my team.



For Ghetsis:


Again, Bisharp.

Though I had kinda arranged that one xD...



EDIT:



Didn't realize this was the entire team.(thought it was just the one that finished them off)


For Ghetsis:

Bisharp
Empoleon
Darmantian
Snorlax
Reshiram

Yeah I didnt use many pokemon you can get without trading.....

For Alder:

Bisharp
Empoleon
Magmortar
Raichu
Venusaur

Cant quite remember who it was and how I downed the last of the E4 teams.

I do remember my Zebstrika acting as a sacrifice numerous times. And Audino giving Shauntal a royal beat-down, surprisingly. Darmanitan and Simipour were my real beasts though. If I leveled them enough I'm sure I could of went with just those two. And Serperior and Garbador were like the backup guys. Bright Powder and Stench worked well for some reason.

My prized Archeops, who just HAPPENED to have the Adamant Nature when I got it from the fossil. Too easy. He also thankfully had Dragonclaw to one-hit KO Ghetsis' Hydreigon, so I didn't have to deal with it's nasty moves. Didn't have to use many other pokemon rather than him.

The last E4 I battled the first time was Marshal so the Pokemon I used to beat him was Braviary. But this was my team against Elite Four.
Serperior lv 57
-Leaf Tornado
- Cut
Leaf Blade
-Giga Drain
Scrafty lv. 53 (Aiden)
- Rock Climb
- Rock Smash
- Hi Jump Kick
- Rock Smash
- Crunch
Braviary lv. 57
- Crush Claw
- Fly
- Sky Drop
- Air Slash
Carracosta -Lv. 56
-Surf
-Rock Slide
-Aqua Tail
-Wide Guard
Krookodile lv 52
- Dig
- Strength
- Foul Play
- Bulldoze
Zweilous lv. 55
- Dragon Rush
- Dragon Pulse
- Body Slam
- Scary Face

When I defeated Ghetsis I had Zweilous in my PC and replaced it with Zekrom.

Vanilluxe, Darmanitan, Samurott, Golurk, Druddigon, and Hydreigon <333 Needless to say, I didn't really encounter any problems with the E4 :P

A level ~65 Weavile won me almost the entire thing...

The only time I used other Pokemon was for Marshal, because of Weavile's 4x weakness and Marshal's sturdy Pokemon. I just feather dance'd the crap put of Sawk with Unfezant, and continued my sweep after a few Swords Dances.

Forever said:

Scrafty. Literally it is the only useful Pokemon at all when it comes to the Elite Four. I was told that for my first playthrough and didn't follow the advice, didn't the second time, finally did the third time, and I was so appleased it was successful!! :) Just needed a psychic or a flying type though tbh, which I seemed to not have. :x Oh yeah, level 100 Herdier/Audino also can work against Alder in particular. XD

See, by the time the E4 came around, I HATED my Scrafty. I just wanted it to be quicker and stronger and more deserving of its awesome typing. Had I realised how awesome Mienshao was before I fought the E4 for the first time, I'd have ditched Scrafty in an instant.

My E4 team consisted of the aforementioned Scrafty, Samurott (bleh!), Sigilyph (kinda cool), Galvantula (OMG NO! So weak!), Excadrill (OMG YES! So strong) and Darmanitan (kinda cool). I believe I swapped out Galvantula for Reshiram when fighting Alder, and it was probably Reshiram that helped in that final battle against Hydreigon of all things.

Before N: Archeops, Musharna, Samurott, Haxorus, Deino, Reshiram

My Lv.94 Dragonite with Outrage. Awesome. Btw this is 2nd time. :D

I leveled my Zweilous to lv.55 and it did a pretty good job of things.

Then I resorted to using my level 100 event Reshiram to take out Ghetsis because I failed horribly at it. Now it has unwanted EVs I can't clear due to the American berry shortage D:<

I don't really remember how, since it's been so long, but my winning team was:

Scrafty, Reuniclus, and Escavalier were really the hardcore players in beating them!

I remember Chandelure took out most of the E4 by itself in my first playthrough which amazed me because it was really underlevelled compared to the rest of my team. I think Archeops did the same thing in my third playthrough.

On my second playthrough, I'm pretty sure my team was very evenly matched and nothing really took the spotlight over anything else.

My very first time beating the E4 I had this party:
Emolga, Beheeyem, Zekrom, Virizion, Emboar and Swanna.

The hardest pokemon I had to face was Ghetsis' Hydregion by far, but facing Ghetsis was my favorite battle in the game.

On a side note, I was really surprised how well my Emolga (Minipete) worked out. He was fast and powerful.
