Team Review - Ready for the Elite Four?

[Steven_G]

Hello all, I have just recently reached the Elite Four, but am still preparing to face them. I have a little confidence that it wont be too hard, but here's the six I've chosen to take with me:

Curry the INFERNAPE, Lv 51
Brick Break
Sunny Day
Flamethrower
SolarBeam

Electro the LUXRAY, Lv 51
Crunch
Scary Face
Return
Thunder Fang

(the last 4 are still training, I'm raising them to 50 each)

Athena the TOGETIC
Air Slash
Magical Leaf
Safeguard
Hyper Beam

Dozer the RHYDON
Hammer Arm
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Poison Jab

Jelly the GASTRODON
Mud Bomb
Surf
Rain Dance
Icy Wind

Lorelei the FROSLASS
Ice Beam
Confuse Ray
Ominous Wind
Hail

So...do this team sound fit to fight? If anybody has any suggestions for modification, I'd be glad to hear 'em.

However, please do not bring up IVs or EVs or natures, whatever. I don't pay attention to those things...

Although this is the wrong section I'll help.

Seems Okay. Your resistances are pretty good. That's really all you need for the storyline.

Then it's the Sinnoh E4, I guess?^^ Don't worry, you're more than up for that!^^ The only thing that bothers me a bit is the inner weather war your team seems to lead but I don't think this'll be a problem when you face the E4!^^ Infernape should be able to take every Pokemon from the first one pretty easily with Sunny Day + Flamethrower (and if you wanna spread the work a bit, leave some pokes to Togetic), Gastrodon should be able to take the second (there might be some pokemon that Infernape could take, too if you're having enough time to set up Sunny Day but I wouldn't rely on that. Infernape's defences aren't the best...^^) and the third one, together with Rhydon!^^ There might be some problems for you with some Pokemon of the 4th one (especially Lucian's Alakazam worries me a bit but Luxray should be able to take a Psychic and Crunch it away...)!^^ You can leave the main work up to Froslass there but you should leave Bronzong to the pros (and by that I don't mean Gastrodon because his Bronzong has Levitiate, so it'll be up to Infernape or sheer power)!^^ Only leaves Cynthia... Her strong Garchomp gets taken down by your Froslass easily and the Lucario that surprised me with its diverse movepool should be taken care of by Gastrodon!^^

To summarize it: No need to worry!^^ Your team covers the entire E4 + champ!^^ If you go in there the pissibility of losing is 5-6%!^^ But you need to remember one thing: Revives and Full Restores are everything in there because only a healthy team is a good team!^^

I appreciate the critique, but I think the best thing I should do is level them up some more. While I had the right types, Lucian and Cynthia defeated me 'cause their levels were higher. I'll work them for a bit, get them all to 60 or 55, then try again. Thanks!
