4th Gen Did you really beat the E4

I didn't want to use legendaries, as I have been for the past years. My team was:

Empoleon
Luxray
Houndoom
Togekiss
Roserade
Gallade

It was fairly easy too:
Houndoom/Togekiss >> Aaron
Roserade/Empoleon >> Bertha
Empoleon/Togekiss >> Flint
All >> Lucian and Cynthia
 
I suppose not. At the veeery beginning of the game (as soon as I could trade), I sent over a Cherubi egg and a Nosepass egg. So technically I traded Pokémon in. But I don't really count that since it's not that hard to obtain both of those Pokémon fairly early in the game anyway.

Otherwise, I didn't use any help. I... might have brought Giratina with me while I fought the E4 but I honestly can't remember if I did or not, now. o_O; If I did, I never used it. Too low a level.

It still took me like 8 tries to beat the E4 thought. ;_;'
 
I haven't exactly beaten the Elite Four in Pokémon Platinum yet, but I plan to beat it without ubers or legendaries. I won't be trading over any pokémon either, so I guess I'll give myself a pat on the back. o-o

I usually don't ever beat the Elite Four with legendaries either. I like to use normal pokémon rather than legends, but sometimes I'll use ubers. I don't really see the difference in it when I have a weak team so...

Though if I don't train to a good enough level for the Elite Four, I might have a hard time completing it as the Elite Four has gotten tougher.
 
I guess not as I had Giratina as a buffer. To be Aaron I mostly used my Flareon except on Heracross where I used Staraptor and a fly attack. Bertha is where I had the most trouble. I started off with Pachirisu and used superfang and then I sent in staraptor with a fly attack, simply because normally (the last few attempts) using that fly made her change to Golem lol. Anyways, most of her pokemon were beat by my Floatzel using water pulse until it fainted then I used Empoleon and Surf. Flint was easy again, just stuck with Floatzel and Empoleon. Lucian was easy, no problem there, could handle it with mostly my Pachirisu just super fanging twice then a thunderbolt. Cynthia was the hardest, Spiritomb I ended up getting low with Pachirisu and then she fainted so I Changed for floatzel and used water pulse to kill the Spiritomb. Roserade I took care of with my Flareon. Togekiss was gone with my revived Pachirisu. Lucario took a couple of revives, first tried to kill it with Pachirisu then I remembered the weakness of Lucario so I sent out my Floatzel and just kept using Rock Smash, unless my health was low then I'd use a full restore. Garchomp was the hardest of them for me. By this time the only pokemon I had left (unfainted) were my Floatzel and Giratina. So for about 15 times in a row I had to keep using full restore on my floatzel until finally the Garchomp used Flamethrower it's about now I realise water pulse has no PP so I had to keep using aqua jet which wasn't as strong. So everytime Garchomp would use Flamethrower or Giga Impact, I'd attack and if it used Earthquake or Dragon Rush a full restore was in order. I kept using Giratina as time to revive pokemon and kept at it, cos my Floatzel would faint every now and then. I eventually beat Garchomp with Floatzel's Aqua Jet, took twice as long as it should of as Cynthia used a Full Restore :p. Anyways lastly for Milotic, I knew it was best to revive Pachirisu, by now I had revived Giratina, Empoleon, Floatzel and Staraptor so I revived pachirisu then made her full health and went for the kill, had to revive pachi a few more times as well mostly using the giratina buffer. So basically no I didn't beat them fairly apparently :p.
 
why are traded pokemon consedired cheating? and fair, is when your pokemon is higher than thiers. anyway's onto the team thing

Mightyena
Honchkrow
Absol
houndoom
Spritomb
Lucario ( for confuseing reasons)
 
yes but i grinded for like 10 hours lol, got all of my pokemon to 67 before challenging the e4.

*pats self on back"
 
I'll keep it short this time. No, I didn't. My team would be dead without my Another forme Giratina.
 
Yup, was pretty easy with my Pt scenario team.
And a lot of healing items. Lots and lots of it.

I really shouldn't have attempted the E4 with a team which had an average level of 51.

egg(riolu) but that legendary didn't count because i didn't use him.
Steelix
 
My team was: Infernape, Luxray, Staraptor, Tentacruel,LickyLicky,Bibarel(took out Berthas entire team :))
 
Giratina is very useful or the E4. High Defense+Awesome Attacks= WIN.
Also, the three lake pokemon are terrible against the E4, for future reference.
 
haha yeah i'm probably not going to "really" beat the E4. I'll definitely use traded pokes.
