Aaron is a master of Bug type Pokémon. The recommended types to beat him are Fire and Ground(for Drapion as he is Poison/Dark)

His first Pokémon is {{bp|Dustox}}, who uses {{bpm|Double Team}} and {{bpm|Light Screen}} cuts the special attack damage done to it for 5 turns and {{bpm|Toxic}} which badly poisons your Pokémon if it doesnt have the Immunity ability. His only attacking move is {{bpm|Bug Buzz}} and his Ability is {{bp|Shield Dust|ability=1}} meaning that side effects such as burning from moves like {{bpm|Flamethrower}} or flinching from moves like {{bpm|Air Slash}} won't affect it.  

{{bp|Beautifly}} also has Bug Buzz and his other moves are all aggressive unlike his defensive counterpart. He has {{bpm|Energy Ball}}, {{bpm|Shadow Ball}} and {{bpm|Psychic}}. Bug Buzz gets a boost if Beautifly has low HP thanks to his {{bp|Swarm|ability=1}} Ability.

Although he isn't as high leveled as Drapion, {{bp|Heracross}} is the most dangerous of Aaron's Pokémon, since he has extremely high Attack power and all of his moves are Physical Attacks. Even Flying types are not safe from Heracross because of his powerful {{bpm|Stone Edge}}. Heracross also uses {{bpm|Megahorn}} and {{bpm|Close Combat}}, both of which are very powerful, although Megahorn lacks accuracy and Close Combat lowers Heracross' Defense and Special Defense. {{bpm|Night Slash}} is basically only there to fill a moveslot, although if you're using a Ghost type you should watch out for it. Fortunately, this Heracross does not have the {{bp|Guts|ability=1}} Ability so it is safe to use status conditions on him.

{{bp|Vespiquen}} could be a fairly good defensive Pokémon and is designed to stall opponents and cause them to waste PP by using {{bp|Pressure|ability=1}} but unfortunately for Aaron, she is a Bug and Flying Pokémon which makes her extremely vulnerable to Rock type moves. Vespiquen is the only member of Aaron's team that is female because it is literally impossible to get a male Vespiquen. She has all three of her signature moves: {{bpm|Attack Order}}, {{bpm|Defend Order}} and {{bpm|Heal Order}}, and she also uses {{bpm|Power Gem}}.

{{bp|Drapion}} is Aaron's highest level Pokémon and is also the only member of his team that is not a Bug type, although he does evolve from a Bug type, {{bp|Skorupi}}. Drapion's only weakness is Ground types but Aaron was smart enough to give him {{bpm|Ice Fang}} which is super effective on Ground types. Drapion also wields {{bpm|Cross Poison}}, {{bpm|Aerial Ace}} and, presumably to make up for the fact that he actually isn't a Bug type, {{bpm|X-Scissor}}. Although Ground type moves are the only moves that are super effective against him, Drapion is basically helpless against Steel types since they are immune to Cross Poison and can resist all three of his other attacks. Aaron should have taught him {{bpm|Fire Fang}} or {{bpm|Earthquake}} to deal with Steel types but despite preparing Drapion for Ground types, he wasn't clever enough to prepare him for most Steel types. Any Steel type that's at a fairly high level, with the possible exceptions of {{bp|Bronzong}}, {{bp|Metagross}},{{bp|Steelix}} and {{bp|Skarmory}}, who can be hurt a decent amount by X-Scissor for the two half Psychic types and Ice Fang for the half Ground and half Flying-type, can stall Drapion long enough to wear it down and knock it out. Drapion has pretty strong Defense and his {{bp|Battle Armor|ability=1}} makes him immune to Critical Hits.

Scizor is powerful and although he's not as fast as its pre-evolved form, {{bp|Scyther}}, he has {{bp|Quick Attack}} to allow him to strike first. Quick Attack gets a boost from his {{bp|Technician}} ability. Scizor also has {{bp|X-Scissor}}, {{bp|Iron Head}} and {{bp|Night Slash}}. However, he is extremely vulnerable to Fire-type moves.

 

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. Recommended types to beat her are grass(for Whiscash and Quagsire) and water.

Lucian is the most dangerous member of the Elite 4 and a master of Psychic types. Unlike Aaron, Bertha and Flint, all five of Lucians' Pokémon belong to his signature type, although in Platinum, Bertha and Flint both replace their non-Ground and Fire-types with Pokémon that do belong to their signature type. Recommended types to beat him are Dark, Fire, and Flying/Ghost(for Medicham)

==National Dex==

If you have been following this guide then you will have SEEN all 150 Sinnoh Pokémon and you can obtain the National Dex from Professor Rowan in his lab in Sandgem Town. To check to see how many Pokémon you have seen open your Pokédex and look at the number next to seen. If it's not 150 then head to [[../National Pokédex|National Pokédex]] to see where to find your missing Pokémon. Just remember that you only need to see them and not catch them.

After you get the National Dex, a familiar face will tell you that Pal Park is now open but we will get into that later. Fly to Snowpoint City and go to the port to continue your journey
