Will uses Psychic Pokemon and has two Xatu on his team. Interestingly, despite being a male trainer, Will uses female Pokemon. The first Xatu has {{bp|Synchronize}} to send status conditions back onto your Pokemon and the second has {{bp|Early Bird}} to wake up quickly from sleep. The lower levelled Xatu has {{bp|Psychic}}, {{bp|Me First}}, {{bp|Confuse Ray}} and {{bp|U-Turn}}. The second also has Psychic and Confuse Ray, in addition to {{bp|Ominous Wind}} and {{bp|Aerial Ace}}. Rock, Ice, Electric, Dark or Ghost types can take them both out. His higher levelled Xatu is holding a Sitrus Berry to restore energy.

Interestingly, despite {{bp|Slowking}} being introduced in the same generation as Will, he has a Slowbro instead. At the moment Slowbro's {{bp|Curse}} is only good for raising her Defence since both of her offensive moves, Psychic and {{bp|Water Pulse}} are Special Attacks. She can also raise her Special Defence by two levels with {{bp|Amnesia}}. Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost and Dark types can all inflict super effective damage.

Jynx has her signature move {{bp|Lovely Kiss}}, to put your Pokemon to sleep and then she'll attack you with Psychic, {{bp|Ice Punch}} and {{bp|DoubleSlap}} although Ice Punch and DoubleSlap shouldn't hurt much because she has low Attack power. Her Defence is also pitiful so a powerful Physical Attacker should be able to take her out easily.

Muk can be very annoying because he can use Toxic to cause severe poison and {{bp|Minimize}} to make him harder to hit. He also likes to lower your Pokemon's Defence by two levels with {{bp|Screech}}. {{bp|Gunk Shot}} is a powerful move which causes more damage after Screech but is inaccurate. A Steel type is the best choice since Muk has no moves that can hurt it. Muk is holding Black Sludge to restore a little bit of energy after each turn and because of his {{bp|Sticky Hold}} ability, you can only get rid of the Black Sludge if you're using {{bp|Gastro Acid}} or a Pokemon with {{bp|Mold Breaker}}.

Crobat is well known for its Speed but for some reason, Koga decided to teach his Crobat {{bp|Quick Attack}}. Crobat also has {{bp|Double Team}}, {{bp|Wing Attack}} and {{bp|Poison Fang}}. Poison Fang is the move you really need to watch out for because it can cause flinching or cause serious poisoning or, if your're very unlucky, both. A Steel type can resist or is immune to Crobat's offensive moves while Electric, Rock, Ice and Psychic types can hit him super effectively. Crobat has a Sitrus Berry to restore energy when he's tired.

Bruno's only non-Fighting type is Onix and you can take him down effortlessly with Grass or Water types. He uses {{bp|Dragonbreath}}, {{bp|Sandstorm}}, {{bp|Rock Slide}} and {{bp|Earthquake}}.

Bruno's Machamp has an awesome ability called {{bp|No Guard}} which means it will never miss your Pokemon. However this also means that your Pokemon will never miss Machamp. If you use a Ghost type, Machamp will use {{bp|Foresight}} to allow him to hit your Ghost with {{bp|Cross Chop}} or {{bp|Revenge}}. He also has {{bp|Rock Slide}} to deal with Flying types so Psychic types are the best choice. Machamp will be holding a Sitrus Berry in the first battle.

Once the Champion is finally defeated, there is a great congratulations and the respective Trainer will be recorded in the Hall of Fame and made current champion. The Hall of Fame is a record kept by the Pokémon League of all the Pokémon Trainers who have ever beaten the Elite Four and the Pokémon Champion. In the hall of Fame recording room, Professor Oak will be waiting for Trainers to congratulate and finally record. It is a fairly large room, that only contains a large computer. The Hall of Fame will record all Trainer's ID number, name, and Pokémon team are recorded. For each Pokémon of the player's party, the species, name, gender, level, and area met are recorded.

After becoming Champion, the player returns home, rather than staying at the Pokémon League to fight challengers. This may be a decision of the player character and his/her family rather than official Pokémon League rules, as Champion Lance also keeps his position.

Will chose to keep his {{bp|Early Bird}} Xatu, although the {{bp|Synchronize}} one would probably have been better. Actually this is the offspring of one of his other Xatu's since it can only learn {{bp|Quick Attack}} by breeding. Obviously Xatu also has Psychic. Her last two moves are Confuse Ray and {{bp|Shadow Ball}} and like the Xatu Will used last time, she will be holding a Sitrus Berry.

Koga starts the battle with his Skuntank which is his best defence against Psychic types since he is part Dark type. Ground types are Skuntank's only weakness but Koga seems eager to point this out since he taught his Skuntank {{bp|Dig}} which makes him more vulnerable to {{bp|Earthquake}} and {{bp|Magnitude}}. Also {{bp|Fissure}}, which is usually innaccurate, will hit Skuntank while he's underground. Aside from Dig, Skuntank also uses {{bp|Toxic}}, {{bp|Sucker Punch}} and {{bp|Explosion}}. His special ability is {{bp|Aftermath}} so don't use an attack that makes physical contact to finish him off.

Toxicroak is extremely vulnerable to Psychic types but has {{bp|X-Scissor}} to hit slower ones super effectively. He also has {{bp|Swagger}} to cause confusion whilst also raising your Pokemon's Attack power. {{bp|Gunk Shot}} and {{bp|Cross Chop}} are both powerful but innaccurate.

Koga's Crobat uses {{bp|Mean Look}} to prevent you from switching Pokemon and Toxic to cause slowly increasing damage, whilst using {{bp|Fly}} to stall and then strike on the next turn. He has also learned {{bp|Cross Poison}} which is quite strong. At least he is not as evasive as he was last time since he no longer has Double Team.

Honchkrow has been bred from the Murkrow Karen used last time and this is proven by the fact that she knows {{bp|Drill Peck}}. She also has {{bp|Whirlwind}} just like her mother, and {{bp|Sucker Punch}} to strike first. Karen also decided to teach Honchkrow {{bp|Thunder Wave}}.

Karen's Umbreon has Curse (obviously different from Spiritomb's Curse since Umbreon is not a Ghost type) as well as Confuse Ray, Sucker Punch and {{bp|Payback}}. Sucker Punch is obviously there to make up for the Speed Umbreon loses each time he powers up his Attack and Defence with Curse. Umbreon's Sitrus Berry allows him to restore health, making him harder to take down.

Lance replaced two of his Dragonite and his Aerodactyle and now has three different Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon on his team. He starts with Salamence, which is one of his Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. Salamence has {{bp|Flamethrower}} to deal with Ice types and {{bp|Dragon Claw}} and {{bp|Shadow Claw}} for various other Pokemon. He also knows {{bp|Rest}} and before you get your hopes up about having Salamence sleep for a few turns, I must warn you that he has a Lum Berry to wake himself up after the first Rest. Salamence will lower your Pokemon's Attack with {{bp|Intimidate}} as soon as he enters the battle.

Salamence will lower your Pokemon's Attack with {{bp|Intimidate}} as soon as he enters the battle.


Gyarados also has Intimidate but is fairly easy compared to Salamence. He can hit hard but has no moves that cover his massive weakness to Electric types. His moveset consists of {{bp|Thunder Wave}}, {{bp|Dragon Dance}}, {{bp|Waterfall}} and {{bp|Ice Fang}}.

Finally Lance's Dragonite is his highest levelled Pokemon. However although he is a powerful Pokemon, Dragonite's moveset is not as good as it should be; all of his offensive moves are Special Attacks and one of them lowers his Special Attack by two stages after each use. Anyway, Dragonite has {{bp|Safeguard}} to prevent status problems and still has {{bp|Fire Blast}} and Hyper Beam. Since last time, Dragonite has also learned {{bp|Draco Meteor}}, but this is the move that was mentioned above, the one that decreases his Special Attack by two stages. Dragonite should have at least one Physical Attack to make up for the side effect of Draco Meteor but he doesn't. Oh well it makes the battle easier for you. Dragonite's Sitrus Berry allows him to restore health but won't make much difference against a powerful Ice type move. An Ice type that is also part Water type is the best choice since it gives it some resistance to Fire Blast.
