=== Bertha (Diamond and Pearl)===
Bertha is the second member of Elite Four and is a Ground-type expert although she also has {{bp|Sudowoodo}} which is a pure Rock type. Her first Pokemon is {{bp|Quagsire}} which is a defensive Pokemon, using {{bp|Sandstorm}} to cause damage on each turn and {{bp|Double Team}} and {{bp|Protect}} to stall you. She also has {{bp|Dig}} as a stalling and damaging move. Quagsire is extremely weak against Grass type moves. Some Quagsire are immune to Water type moves and restore damage when hit by them thanks to {{bp|Water Absorb}} but this Quagsire's Ability is the fairly useless {{bp|Damp}} which only prevents {{bp|Explosion}} or {{bp|Selfdestruct}} which are not moves your likely to be using anyway.

As mentioned above, Sudowoodo is a Rock type, but, presumably in an attempt to make it seem like a Ground type, it uses {{bp|Earthquake}} and the only Rock type move it knows is {{bp|Sandstorm}}. It also uses the powerful {{bp|Hammer Arm}} and the priority move {{bp|Sucker Punch}} to make up for its appalling Speed. {{bp|Horn Drill}}, {{bp|Gullotine}}, {{bp|Fissure}} and {{bp|Sheer Cold}} won't work on Sudowoodo because of {{bp|Sturdy}}
