Having trouble beating the Elite Four in Pokémon Ruby? This article will tell you how to win!

  1. Birch on Route 101. The reason for this is because Mudkip has the most advantage over any other starter in the game. Train your Mudkip and by the 6th gym leader, you should have a Swampert.
  2. Abra evolves at level 16 into Kadabra then evolves in a trade. Again, by the 6th gym leader, you should have an Alakazam.

  3. These are usually found at level 9-12. At the 6th gym leader, you should have a Lairon.
  4. This is important, because Altaria (Swablue's evolution) is a powerhouse. Again, by the 5th or 6th gym leader, you should have an Altaria (evolves at Lv 35).
    • When you are going just north of Slateport City, there are patches of grass where you can find an Electrike. They evolve at level 26 and you should have a Manectric by the 4th gym leader.
  5. They are very important because the can take many hits when it evolves (Lv 37) into Dusclops.
  6. 61 Swampert (moves: Surf, Earthquake, Façade, and Endeavor), a Lv. 55 Altaria (moves: Dragon breath, Dragon Dance, Perish Song, and Earthquake/Sky attack), a Lv. 55 Aggron (moves: Protect, Metal Sound, Thunderbolt, and Toxic), a Lv. 57 Manectric (moves: Thunder, Protect, Discharge, and Attract), a Lv. 58 Dusclops (moves: Will-o-Wisp, Psychic, Shadow Punch, and Future Sight), a Lv. 55 Alakazam (moves: Light Screen, Reflect, Protect, and Physic).

    I chose Torchic as my starter Pokemon. Is there another team as effective without Swampert?

    Blaziken with Brick Break/Sky Uppercut, Flamethrower, and choose the other 2 moves yourself. Takes down Sidney's Team (Brick Break), Glacia's Team (Brick Break), Steven's Skarmory, Metagross (Flame thrower), Cradily, Aggron (Brick Break). Sharpedo with Surf, Crunch, and Ice Beam takes down Pheobe's whole team (Crunch), Drake's whole team (Ice Beam), Steven's Claydol (Crunch) and Armaldo (Surf). You can beat E4 using these two Pokemon; feel free to choose any other team members.
