I have gotten all 8 gym badges and beaten my Rival right as you're about to go in to face the Elite 4, but I decided to keep on training in Victory Road for awhile.

Dialga Lv. 54

Infernape Lv. 53

Luxray Lv. 51

Gyarados Lv. 41

Gastrodon Lv. 33 (Mainly only use it to surf)

Should I keep training or am I good?

The elite four are no way near as hard as you would think. As long as you have enough items the first time to make sure you can revive your pokemon and heal them I think you should be fine. And you can save it before you go in and if you can't do it just restart your ds then you can see what you are weak on and work on that. They are not hard though. Got to watch out for a couple of their pokemon though. I think you should go for it !!

I was trying against the E4 & Cynthia when my Pokemon were in the mid 50's I think, but failed so many times I decided not to go back until they were all at least lvl60. Then it took a couple more goes and I did it. Maybe I just had rubbish Pokemon idk lol

I'd definately recomend waiting until your pokemon are AT LEAST level 50, if you don't, you will end up wasting a lot of items and it will be difficult to win.

Ok. I am taking everyone's advice and training some more. I have already gotten my Luxray up about 6 levels in the past hour.

You could beat them with that team if you stocked enough items up, but you ought to train them up just a bit more I think.

Cynthia is the only one I lost to before I beat the game so. . . Get your pokemon higher before you face them and make sure you have a LOT of potions, (I perfer to have some super and hyper) Antidotes, and the like since she uses spiritomb, roserade, (def get antidote!) gastron, lucario, milotic (this is where you get milotic for your pokedex by the way) and Garchomp. They are all in between levels 60-66, so I would train at least till you were at level 60 for each pokemon you intend to go with. Once you've been to the pokemon league, you can just fly to it, instead of going all through the victory road.

Im almost certain Both Cynthia and Lucian will give you trouble. Just make sure you are heal item ready.

You definitely need to level up to the 50's, but you CAN try fighting the elite 4 over and over to level up. You'll keep the experience but lose money. However, I tried that and got aggravated quickly. Go to route 210 or 209 with a Pokemon with compound eyes in the front of your party and look for a Chansey holding a Lucky Egg. Compound Eyes increases the chances of a Pokemon having a hold item and Lucky Eggs increase the experience your Pokemon gains by 1.5. Get as many Lucky Eggs as you want, then go to Victory Road and level up like crazy!

Also, I would recommend getting rid of Gastrodon for an element that you don't already have that will be super effective against some Elite 4 trainers (I'm sorry, I've been playing Leaf Green and don't know what the Elite 4's Pokemon are).

To the person above me, if you beat it with 5 level 30s, did you have one super strong legendary? Are all your potions and revives gone? Are you full of crap?

I battle them now with one pokemon. I hardly ever loose any Hp. If you have a Blissey that can heal your pokemon you won't need so many Items. And items that restore HP are great too.
I've just checked my hall of fame, I only had 5 pokemon when I first won, which was on the first go. They were rubbsh. I used an Infernape, Kricketune, Bibarel, Chatot and an Empoleon I got from a trade. Hardly any attack moves between them. It was hard long and scary. Only had two left by Cynthia and when one fainted had to quickly revive them before then next fainted. Cynthia is the worst.

The elite four is semi eay.Just level up your pokemon and buy plenty of revives,full restores,and full heals.Also if you have a strong move that you want to use again,use plenty of eliers and ethers.You can't buy them in the game.But you can randomly find them.Don't worry to much.i beat the league with a team of lv.50 pokemon.so you should have no trouble.But i would level up your pokemon a bit.I struggled a little with synthia.
