Quick Elite 4 Battle or More Training?

[LegendChu]

Do u battle the Elite 4 immediately after winning 8 Badges or first train ur Pokemon more?

Pika Pika :chu:

In my younger days I would always just go and battle the Elite Four straight away as I would never grind for levels, it was a struggle but I guess I just used the E4 as my training.

But now I always train before I take them on, it feels rewarding training my Pokemon up for ages and then being able to match the Elite Four.

With the new games, I tend to be a bit overlevel so I don't train for the Elite Four and I beat them completely fine

I mostly tend to train my Pokemon more before the Elite 4 battle.

I tend to quickly get to action and battle the elite four right away and spend less on training.

Earlier generations, I would train my butt off before the elite four. With the sixth generation, I'm already in my 50s or 60s by the time I get my 8th badge, so no need to train. ^^'

I remember having to grind sooo much to battle the first, second, and third gen Elite 4.. aah good times. I had forgotten to turn off my Exp. Share in X so I didn't have to do any grinding, but hoo boy my Y version was full of grinding since I had turned it off. ;v; So yeah, if I find myself at too low of a level— certainly gonna grind! Though a few times I've just charged in with tons of Revives and Hyper Potions/Max Potions/Full Restores heheh.

I only train more if I feel my Pokemon need some leveling up or its straight to the Elite Four.

Gen 1-Gen 3 Yep i did cause it was somewhat challenging
Gen 4-Today Nope cause its pretty easy xD

Well, most likely I'll explore a bit. See if there's endgame content to be played with.

After that, straight on to the Elite 4 and then postgame (heh) ho!

I tend to do very complete clears. I fight every wild Pokemon I come across, battle every trainer, look for every item.....I'm pretty sure I had Pokemon in the lv80-90 range when I faced the E4 in X for instance, lol.
