Question

My team is a Torterra at level 72, a Machoke and Sneasel at level 49, a Crobat and Medicham at level 48, and a Steelix at level 47. I still can't defeat the Elite Four. Do you have any advice?

Community Answer

Train the rest of your team. Your Torterra is at a much higher level than the rest. Training the other Pokemon will fill the gap. You can also change some Pokemon on your team for an advantage against some of the E4, but try for a balanced team capable of OHKOing the E4. Good Luck!

Question

My Infernape is level 61, Dialga and Unix are at level 51, Steelix is level 45, Floatzel is level 42 and Haunter is level 46. Why can't I defeat the Elite Four?

Community Answer

Your Floatzel is under-leveled, and you should teach it stronger water moves.

Rapidash is weak to Rock, Water, and Ground types. Try using Pokémon that can exploit these weaknesses.

Question

How do I get a lvl 100 Torterra?

Community Answer

A Lucky Egg can be used to boost EXP from fights. Victory Road is a good spot to level up, but otherwise the key is patience and perseverance.

Question

What levels should my Pokemon be when I beat the game?

Community Answer

If you play a lot, 70+. That is what most people have when the beat the game. When I beat ORAS, everything I had was lvl 90+. Your don't have to be 90+, but it is the best choice if you're battling the Elite Four multiple times.

Is there any way to obtain Darkrai in soul-silver, pearl, or white?

Not without hacking. It might've been available through a past event, but, you can't find it in the wild presently.

You can get lucky eggs off of wild Chanseys. They have a 5% chance of holding a lucky egg when encountered.

Question

How can I tell if my Pokemon team is good enough for the Pokemon league?

Community Answer

Save before entering and try to battle a member. If you struggle a lot, then you are not good enough just yet.

Study on the Elite Four's weaknesses and then level up your Pokemon more than level 50. After that, challenge them and try to defeat them.

Question

How do I beat the Elite Four with under-leveled Pokémon?

Community Answer

You look at their types and counter them with super effective attacks, like water attacks for fire types and grass attacks for water types. Also make sure your Pokémon are not super weak against the attack types their Pokémon will be using.

Community Answer

In most Pokemon games, the story advances and you get access to more game content. Most of the time, you get access to more areas and more legendary Pokemon.

Question

My team is Lv 50 Palkia, Lv 35 Lopunny, Lv 32 Snover, Lv 45 Infernal, Lv 48 Staraptor, and Lv 46 Gastrodon. Am I ready for the Pokemon League in Pearl?

Jackson Williamson

Community Answer

Try leveling up your Lopunny and Snover. Maybe evolve your Snover into Frosslass (if female) or Glalie (if male) and teach some of your Pokémon some tactic moves like Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Toxic.

Question

Do I need a legendary to beat the Elite 4?

Community Answer

No. You don't really need a legendary for anything. In my personal opinion they're just cool to use with unique moves. But through training any Pokemon can be incredibly strong.

Question

Is fighting the elite four a lot a good way to get EXP and money?

Community Answer

I would say it is since you’re battling a lot and the E4 all have strong Pokémon. You also get a decent amount of money for defeating each of them.
