Assuming you're talking about Black and White, I believe I had my Carracosta out when the final blow was delivered to Ghetsis' Pokémon.

As mentioned above, this is assuming B/W's E4 before confronting N.

I'll just mention the teams that I used in both games.

Black: Samurott, Scolipede, Archeops, Excadrill, Haxorus, Sawk

White: Emboar, Sigilyph, Excadrill, Carracosta, Haxorus, Galvantula

Assuming for B/W E4. My Emboar really carried the team on my first ever run.

I recently beated the elite four with this team: Larviatar, Oshawott, Vanilite, Pichu, Shuppet and Larvesta.

The team I used to beat Elite 4 Twice, one before N and one with Alder was: Blissey, Lampent, Metagross and Bellossom. Also had a HM slave Arceus.

Growth
Leaf Blade
Strenght
Giga Drain

But it was a bit different against N and Gethis. xD

In my first playthrough I wasnt really ready for the last battle. All my Pokemon were very slow, and they kept of getting swept by Hydragon. I ended up having my Musharna put it to sleep. That was on the third try though, that seemed like a really tough battle at the time

Scrafty and Archeops were my key players the first time through. I think they almost swept through two Elite 4 members each. I also recall Scrafty doing a particularly good job against N and Ghetsis.

Scrafty. Literally it is the only useful Pokemon at all when it comes to the Elite Four. I was told that for my first playthrough and didn't follow the advice, didn't the second time, finally did the third time, and I was so appleased it was successful!! :) Just needed a psychic or a flying type though tbh, which I seemed to not have. :x Oh yeah, level 100 Herdier/Audino also can work against Alder in particular. XD

Um, my Mienshao wrecked all of the E4s, except for the Psychic. And even then she killed like two of her 'mons. But I agree that Scratfy's typing makes it the most useful.

Oh well yeah, I see why it could be useful too! But reallyyyy, Scrafty has the advantage of being super effective against three/four, which Mienshao cannot claim, so thus Scrafty wins out imo. :3

imo any strong Fighting type destroys the Unova '4. :x

All you need is a Dark/bug with him and you'll be good to go.

On White it was mostly Carracosta and Haxorus that won me the tougher battles such as Grimsley and Caitlin.

My team at the time was Emboar, Excadrill, Haxorus, Carracosta, Reuniclus, and Cofagrigus.

My team was what my teams been throughout pretty much the whole game. They were all like lvl 54 i think, im not sure...I beat the game quite a long time ago, but I think my team was:

-Crustle
-Reuniclus
-Eelektross
-Chandelure
-Braviary
-Zweilous

My pokes are all in their lvl 70's now I think, and I've switched out my Braviary for my trusty ol' pal SIMMY(Dragonite, LOL. Sorry for the terrible name; I was young and uncreative...).

My first clear was with Archeops, whom the rest of the team was eventually foddered-off to support.
