Q&A for How to Beat the Elite Four in Pokémon Sun and Moon

Dragonite is a very rare encounter. You must go to Poni Meadow, which is only accessible during the post game. You must then fish in the fishing spot in the front until you find a Dratini. Keep on forcing S.O.S. encounters until you find Dragonite. In addition, Dragonite can be found in this area as a rare encounter on the Poke Finder (the camera thing).

It doesn't really matter, but I would try to set up some fighting/water/grass/psychic Pokemon to cover all of my bases.

It depends on your team. First, look over your Pokemon and see which have moves that resist or are super effective against your opponent's Pokemon. The more moves or types that can do this, the better. Also, check out their fighting strategies and teams online. If you have Pokemon that can counter them, you will be much better off than a trainer without.

Yes, when you rematch the Elite Four after beating them for the first time.

You could, however it would want to carry a Ghostium-Z to use against either Acerola's Dhelmise or Palossand since both are very defensive and can easily deal with Gengar if they survive its attack.

Bagon is found on Route 3. There is a 1% chance of finding it.

Yes, but it's super unlikely.

Yes, go for it. Rayquaza's pretty strong and will be a real benefit to you in your Elite Four run.

No, only the Ice Stone will evolve it.

You can't if it's the first time you beat the game. After that, you won't get the credits again if you beat the Elite Four again.

Fish in any of the fishing spots. The chances of finding Magikarp are fairly high, so it shouldn't take long.

Your choice. If you really feel attached to all your current team members, don't force yourself to add either to your team.

Yes, it can transform into the opposing Pokémon. Use it to find out the move sets of the Elite Four's Pokémon.

You cannot. You "black out" if you lose, which causes you to lose some money and return to the last Pokemon Center you used, keeping any experience and/or levels you gained during the battle you lost.

Magikarp's very easy to find by fishing. Catch one and evolve it.

Try to battle wild/NPC trainers that are about the same level as your Pokemon.

Battle all the trainers on all the islands. If you did, or can't find any more, try to find wild Pokemon about the same level of your Pokemon. Another solution is to use rare candies, you may find them in that Pokemon Centre Cafe sometimes.

I can't see why not. It's a very good Pokemon, especially if it has the Fluffy ability.

Yes, beating the Elite Four makes it so any Pokemon listens regardless of level.

Sure, but evolve the Growlithe. It evolves with a Fire Stone.

Unfortunately, you cannot catch Lunala. However, you can catch Cosmog and evolve him; if you are playing Sun you will not be able to get Lunala, only Solgaleo.

Ledian's a weak Pokemon, so you may want to consider replacing it. Its base 35 attack stat won't work out very well for the Elite Four. You may want to consider evolving Salandit (only females evolve, so catch a female one if you haven't already done so) and Pikachu (unless it's holding a Light Ball) as well.

No, the offspring will be your Pokemon.

You don't have to, depending on your team. If you have a team that is very strong against one of the Elite Four's Pokemon team, I would recommend going to that chamber first.

It increases the chances of finding shiny Pokemon. You get it after completing the Alola Pokedex.

First of all, you want to have a fire type Pokemon to deal with Molayne, since he specializes in steel. And the fourth person is the same as the previous games (Sun and Moon), Olivia the rock type user.

They don't. It's sold at Olivia's jewelry shop in Konikoni City.

You just need a Pokemon with high defense so you can revive/restore your team.

Yes, because she will be good against Kahili with flying types (elite 4) and Kukui with breviary.

You can't get Rayquaza in Sun and Moon. You have to get it either through Wonder Trade or the GTS, the "Global Trading System".
