    In D/P/Pt, how many tries did it take you to beat the Elite 4?

    For me-
    Diamond:7 tries
    Platinum:2 tries

    What about you?

    Twice, I think.

    The first time I ran out of PP and didn't have enough berries to see me through.


    On my first playthrough I borrowed a few of my friend's Pokemon so only one.

    One try on Diamond and one try on both of my Platinum savefiles.

    "Just train enough"? lol, the DPPt Elite 4 is pretty easy in my opinion. Then again, none of the elite fours are really challenging.. the gym leaders are more challenging in my opinion.

    also, just use Dialga/Palkia/Giratina, instead of saying "boohoo, it's way cooler to do it without legendaries!" because it isn't really that if you want to finish the game (at least in D/P, since they were stupid games with like 0 afterstory) <_< Giratina-A doesen't really help much in the E4 in Platinum, but whatever.

    twice in Pearl, once in Platinum. I could have done it in one try on Pearl, but I got lazy and tired of training.

    In Diamond the Eliete 4 were quite easy for me, it may be just me; I don't know. It took me 2 tries to defeat them.
    However, in PLatinum they are super hard, I need to find more berries which boost your PP because I run out quick! Cynthia is a pain and so is lucian! Actually all of them are even Aaron got tougher!

    I beat the Elite Four on Platinum my first run-through. It wasn't too hard; the only thing that was slightly annoying was Cynthia's (or whatever her name is sorry) Togekiss. I didn't have an electric, rock, or ice but my garchomp helped to smoosh that thing (but that one thing was very hard).

    Almost every time on all pokemon games so far, I've beaten them first try, as I usually train/have team with good coverage and come stocked with plenty of items.

    I actually was doing a practice run to see if I was ready. I ended up winning, with every one of my pokemon fainting at least twice. In the end, it was togekiss v quagsire, and I got the freeze from ice punch and won. My highest was a lvl 55 quagsire.

    Tries:
    D/P: About 8
    Platinum: 1
    SoulSilver (Japanese): 1, just like Platinum.

    Beat:
    Diamond, Pearl: I cannot remember.
    Platinum: 133, won every time...
    SoulSilver (Japanese): 134... Same as Platinum.

    So, that's 267 that I can remember.

    In my first Diamond runthrough, I never beat it. I was a noob back then and only trained my Infernape, so it was at Lv. 75 while everything else was at Lv. 30 or so. I then restarted and beat it on my 5th try.

    Platinum, I beat it on my first try. I've learned a lot since then.
