    Alright, I haven't played Pokemon since I was seven, seven years ago. Now I'm replaying Pokemon Gold. I've already beat all the gym leaders in Johto. I'm about ready to fight the Elite Four, only I was a few more good Pokemon before I do it.

    I've only got three Pokemon that I frequently use. Feraligatr, Red Gyarados, and Ho-Oh. All of them are close to level 50. I'd like to catch at least two more strong Pokemon before I fight them. My first thought was to catch a Larvitar and level it up until it was a Tyranitar, since they're very strong. But apparently the only place to catch Larvitar is Mt. Silver, which is accessible only after the Elite Four are defeated.

    Any ideas of strong Pokemon I should catch before the fight?
     
    Get a Dark type and an Electric Type...And teach Feraligatr Ice Punch..
     
    I would suggest catching either a Dratini in the Dragon's Lair and/or a Flaafy on the route south of the Lake of Rage.

    Also, get your starter to at least 55, that's kind of a necessity.
     
    Alright, I caught a Dratini, who I'm now in the process of leveling up. Before I enter the fight I'll make sure everyone's at least level 50.

    What's the best Dark type and Electric type Pokemon I could get.
     
    Get a Flaafy, and a Houndoom.
    They're both pretty good pokemon. But, make sure they are at least Lv. 50.
     
    Your fine, you're fine as you are, I beat the E4 with 3 Pokemon in the low 40s.

    But if you really want a Pokemon go catch an Abra by Goldenrod and evolve it.

    To all those people who say get a dark pokemon, well he can't the only one available before the E4 is Umbreon.
     
    i suggest you go to the game corner and get some coins and level up the pokemon yu get there. a drantini or umbreon would be best and as said above, i think flaffy would be your best bet!

    or a kadabra... [evolve an abra]
