For a full list of every Elite Four member's individual Pokemon's weaknesses, go to the Elite Four Page.

The Elite Four are some of the most difficult trainers in the game. They have high level Pokemon with a diverse range of moves. On top of that, you must defeat all four in a row without visiting a Pokemon Center to heal. This means you should stock up on as many Hyper Potions, Full Heals, Full Restores, and Revives as possible. After each battle, heal your Pokemon with items before taking on the next Elite Four member. Unlike previous games, you can battle the Unova Elite Four in any order you wish.

If you are having trouble with the Elite Four, you can do two things: level up your Pokemon and diversify their move sets. For example, here is the team I used to defeat the Elite Four:

My Current Team Samurott Lv. 60 Slash Megahorn Surf Aqua Jet Simisear Lv. 60 Flame Burst Rock Smash Grass Knot Bite

Each of my Pokemon have a surprise attack: Megahorn for Samurott and Grass Knot for Simisear. Each move is super effective against their main weakness which makes them a threat to any Pokemon they face. They are also 8-10 levels higher than all of the Elite Four's Pokemon. I also had four low level Pokemon to use as decoys while I revived and healed Samurott or Simisear during battle. The best Pokemon to use for this purpose is Roggenrola because he has the Sturdy ability, which doesn't allow it to be knocked out in one hit.

Elite Four Shauntal

Cofagrigus Lv. 48 Jellicent Lv. 48 Golurk Lv. 48 Chandelure Lv. 50

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. Golurk and Chandelure are heavy hitters, while Jellicent and Cofagrigus can take a lot of damage.

Elite Four Grimsley

Scrafty Lv. 48 Liepard Lv. 48 Krookodile Lv. 48 Bisharp Lv. 50

Grimsley focuses on Dark Pokemon. Every one of his Pokemon is weak to Fighting moves. They all have resistance to Psychic, Ghost, and Dark-type moves. Krookodile and Bisharp have high Attack so they will deal big damage, Liepard is very fast and will most likely attack first, and Scrafty will Poison your Pokemon with Poison Jab and try to outlast it with his high Defense and Special Defense.

Elite Four Caitlin

Reuniclus Lv. 48 Musharna Lv. 48 Sigilyph Lv. 48 Gothitelle Lv. 50

Caitlin uses Psychic Pokemon. The only dual-type Pokemon she uses is Sigilyph, which is also Flying-type. All of Caitlin's Pokemon are weak to Ghost and Dark moves and resistant to Psychic and Fighting moves. Every one of her Pokemon other than Sigilyph is also weak to Bug moves. Caitlin's Pokemon have high Special Attack so they can deal big damage easily. Reuniclus and Musharna both have a lot of HP.

Elite Four Marshal

Throh Lv. 48 Sawk Lv. 48 Conkeldurr Lv. 48 Mienshao Lv. 50

Marshal uses pure Fighting-type Pokemon. All of his Pokemon are weak to Flying and Psychic moves. They have resistance to Bug, Rock, and Dark moves. The main theme to Marshal's Fighting Pokemon is their huge Attack power. Mienshao is very fast and Conkeldurr has a lot of HP.

Once you defeat the final member, use the teleporter to go to the central plaza. Walk up to the statue and press A to ride it down to the lower level. Walk north up the three flights of stairs and enter the building.

Continue north to find N and Alder facing each other. N reveals that Alder lost his favorite Pokemon, which is the reason why he was traveling throughout Unova. N also reveals they just finished a battle that Alder lost. The legendary Dragon Pokemon starts responding to the stone you have and N orders Team Plasma's Castle to rise from the ground. N says everything will be decided in the castle before leaving.

Cheren appears and talks to Alder. Both Cheren and Alder tell you their reasons why Pokemon and humans shouldn't be separated and want you to tell N for them. Walk up the stairs through the hole in the wall and into the castle.
