Well, you've done everything you could on the Sevii Islands, so you decide to take one the Elite Four again.  Well, If you haven't already, make sure your Pokemon are level 65+ unless you're feeling very confident. Why? Well, all of the Elite Four members have leveled up all of their Pokemon by 10 levels or so and picked up a few others, so you should too.

Rival has replaced Pidgeot and Rhydon with Heracross and Tyranitar, respectively. Heracross is up first and although he has a massive weakness to Flying types, he has Rock Tomb to hit them super effectively and if he manages to endure a Flying type move, or any Physical Attack for that matter, he can send it back with double the power using Counter, which would, if he chooses to use it, obliterate your Flying type if they don't knock him out in one hit. He also has Megahorn and Earthquake to deal with low defensive Psychic types.

Like Heracross, Tyranitar has a double weakness, in his case Fighting types.  However, also like Heracross, he has a way to counter that weakness. Aerial Ace is an absurd move on a Pokemon as bulky as Tyranitar, but Rival's Tyranitar knows it, and he also knows Thunderbolt, for Water Types, Crunch, and Earthquake. Thanks to Sand Stream, he will whip up an endless sandstorm, but this can work in your favour since none of Rival's other Pokemon are immune to Sandstorm.  However, two of the starters can override the Sandstorm, so keep that in mind.
