Pokemon Black and White: Walkthrough - Elite Four Rematch
Check out the
Elite Four Rematch page for a full list of every Elite Four member's Pokemon along with individual weakness and resistance information.
The second time you face the Elite Four is the ultimate test of Pokemon Black and White. As hard as it may have been the first time, the second time is much more difficult. The main difference is that all Pokemon are now above level 70. Also, each Elite Four member has two more Pokemon on their team, both from a previous generation. Their other four Pokemon have the same moves as the first time you battled them. Finally, you must battle Champion Alder after you defeat the Elite Four. This is a difficult task, but having a balanced team with a smart moveset makes it much easier. Keep in mind that a lot of the Elite Four Pokemon have sneaky attacks that will counter their weaknesses so you shouldn't ever feel safe even if your Pokemon has a type advantage over their active Pokemon.
Make sure to stock up on Revives and healing items before taking on the Elite Four for the second time. Chances are your Pokemon will take a lot of damage and most likely get knocked out throughout the five battles ahead. Specifically, I suggest taking Revives, Hyper Potions, and Full Heals.
Elite Four Shauntal |
|
Shauntal specializes in Ghost-type Pokemon. All of her Pokemon are weak to Ghost and Dark moves, but aren't affected by Normal or Fighting moves. Her Pokemon have resistance to Poison and Bug moves. Shauntal's new Pokemon are Froslass and Drifblim. Froslass doesn't have any traits that are terribly out of the ordinary. Drifblim has a lot of HP and knows the move Thunder.
Elite Four Grimsley |
|
Grimsley focuses on Dark Pokemon. Every one of his Pokemon is weak to Fighting moves except Drapion. Psychic moves don't affect Grimsley's Pokemon and they all have resistance to Ghost and Dark-type moves. His new Pokemon are Drapion and Sharpedo. Drapion's only weakness is Ground and she has high physical Defense. Sharpedo has a high physical Attack stat. All of his moves are physical attacks so he can do a lot of damage.
Elite Four Caitlin |
|
Caitlin uses Psychic Pokemon. All of Caitlin's Pokemon are weak to Ghost and Dark-type moves except for her two new additions, Bronzong and Metagross, who are weak to Fire and Ground-type moves. All of her Pokemon have a resistance to Psychic-type moves. Bronzong knows the Electric-type attack Charge Beam and Metagross knows the Ground-type move Earthquake. Bronzong has very good Defense and Special Defense so it can take quite a few hits before going down. Metagross has good physical Attack and Defense.
Elite Four Marshal |
|
Marshal uses Fighting-type Pokemon. All of his Pokemon are weak to Flying and Psychic-type moves. They all have resistance to Bug, Rock, and Dark moves except Breloom who doesn't have a resistance to Bug. His new additions are Breloom and Toxicroak, both of which are dual-type Pokemon. Both have a good physical Attack stat and physical Fighting-type moves to go along with it.
After you defeat the Elite Four, use the central statue to go down a floor. Walk north up the stairs to enter the building where Alder is waiting.
Champion Alder |
|
Alder doesn't focus on a single type of Pokemon. Instead, he uses a variety of different types. Accelgor, Vanilluxe, and Escavalier are all weak to Fire-type attacks and none of them have any moves to counter Fire-type Pokemon, so a heavy hitting Fire-type can easily take out half of his team. Alder's most powerful Pokemon is Bouffalant. He has a diverse moveset, knowing Head Charge (Normal), Megahorn (Bug), Stone Edge (Rock), and Earthquake (Ground). On top of that, his ability is Sap Sipper. When he is hit by a Grass-type move, the attack does no damage and Bouffalant's Attack stat raises because of Sap Sipper.
After defeating Alder, he will take you to another room with a machine that will record your team. The game will save and the credits will roll once again. Congratulations, you've made it all the way through Pokemon Black or White. Unfortunately, that is the end of the game. Remember you can always battle other people online, go to the Battle Subway, ride the Royal Unova, rebattle the Elite Four, and do many other things over again throughout Unova. I hope you found this guide useful.
