Lance has become vastly more powerful and it's easy to see how he becomes the Champion in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. His Gyrados can now deal with Electric types with Earthquake and can increase his Attack and Speed with Dragon Dance. The only good news is that Gyarados doesn't have a STAB move. He knows Thunder Wave, somewhat pointless when he already has Dragon Dance but the paralysis can be annoying, and of course his signature Hyper Beam | |||
Lance has caught a Kingdra, which for some reason he does not use at all when he becomes the Champion. Like Gyarados Kingdra has Dragon Dance and Hyper Beam. He also knows Surf and Ice Beam. Kingdra's only weakness is Dragon types and Ice Beam can give them a hard time. | |||

Lance's has evolved one of his Dragonair giving him two Dragonite. The weaker one knows Flamethrower to deal with Ice types, Dragon Claw for fellow Dragon's, Earthquake just for the hell of it and of course Lance's signature move Hyper Beam. Lance's stronger Dragonite has Thunderbolt, presumably because about half of the Ice types in this generation are also part Water types, or in Articuno's case is just as weak to Electricity as it is to Fire. He ditched Safeguard, having realised its useless for protecting him from the confusion of Outrage, but he now has a Persim Berry to heal that confusion. Furthermore he knows Ice Beam so using a Dragon type of your own is risky to say the least, and you should be able to guess his final move. | |||

Revision as of 15:38, 24 April 2013
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.
Lorelei
Lorelei is much stronger than she was last time and now has a proper counter to Electric types in the form of Piloswine. Like before she starts with Dewgong who still uses Ice Beam and Surf but has also learned Signal Beam and Double Team.
Cloyster is considerably more aggressive than she was in the previous battle, now knowing Surf and Ice Beam. She also has Rain Dance to power up Surf and Supersonic to cause confusion, although Supersonic's accuracy is frankly terrible.
Piloswine is an all out attacker utilizing Earthquake, Blizzard, Rock Slide and Double-Edge. Double-Edge causes recoil damage. Piloswine is also immune to Attract thanks to Oblivious.
Jynx has a far better moveset and ditched the useless Double Slap in favour of Psychic, and now uses Ice Beam which is more powerful than Ice Punch. She still has Attract and Lovely Kiss however.
Lapras no longer has a Sitrus Berry, instead using a Cheri Berry which seems a rather random choice of berry but it cures paralysis. She still uses Surf and Ice Beam but has also learned Psychic and, unusually for a Water type, Thunder. If Cloyster's Rain Dance is still in effect, Thunder's accuracy increases from 70% to 100%.
Bruno
- Steelix (lvl. 65)
- Hitmonchan (lvl. 65)
- Hitmonlee (lvl. 65)
- Steelix (lvl. 66)
- Machamp (lvl. 68)
For some reason Bruno doesn't have Hitmontop even though Johto Pokemon will have been introduced into the game by now. However he now has two Steelix, which he did not evolve from his two Onix because they both have Sturdy instead of Rock head, and become quite a bit stronger than before. Both Steelix are almost exactly the same except one is a level higher and knows Dragonbreath. Their other moves are Crunch, Iron Tail and Rock Tomb.
Hitmonlee no longer has a STAB move and despite being able to hit Ghost types with Rock Slide he still has Foresight. He also knows Mega Kick and Earthquake.
Hitmonchan is the same as before, apart from his level and the fact that he's replaced Rock Tomb with Rock Slide. In case you've forgotten his other moves are Mach Punch, Sky Uppercut and Counter.
Machamp has become a purely aggressive fighter and tries to beat down your Pokemon through brute force. He still has Cross Chop but the rest of his moveset has changed and he no longer has any moves which can decrease you're Speed using Rock Slide instead of Rock Tomb. He also knows Earthquake and Brick Break so don't bother using Reflect or Light Screen against him. Machamp has a Persim Berry to heal confusion.
Agatha
- Gengar (lvl. 66)
- Crobat (lvl. 66)
- Misdreavus (lvl. 65)
- Arbok (lvl. 68)
- Gengar (lvl. 70)
Agatha has evolved her Golbat and captured a Misdreavus. She still starts with her lower levelled Gengar who still has Confuse Ray and Shadow Punch but has also learned Hypnosis and it uses Psychic instead of Dream Eater, presumably because Hypnosis doesn't have good accuracy. Agatha's second Gengar has a powerful moveset of Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Psychic and Thunderbolt. He also has a Chesto Berry to wake up if you put him to sleep.
Misdreavus is male, despite Agatha being female (come to think of it all of Agatha's Pokemon are male) and he has Attract to infatuate female Pokemon and will then bombard them with Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt and Psychic.
Crobat has Confuse Ray and because of his awesome Speed, it's likely he will use it before you can strike back. He also knows Shadow Ball, Air Cutter and Sludge Bomb.
Arbok will lower your Pokemon's Attack with Intimidate and then attempt to dodge your blows with Double Team. The only move he has from his original moveset is Sludge Bomb. He has Giga Drain and Earthquake but no longer has a move that can hit Psychic types super effectively.
Lance
- Gyarados (lvl. 68)
- Dragonite (lvl. 66)
- Kingdra (lvl. 68)
- Aerodactyl (lvl. 70)
- Dragonite (lvl. 72)
Lance has become vastly more powerful and it's easy to see how he becomes the Champion in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. His Gyrados can now deal with Electric types with Earthquake and can increase his Attack and Speed with Dragon Dance. The only good news is that Gyarados doesn't have a STAB move. He knows Thunder Wave, somewhat pointless when he already has Dragon Dance but the paralysis can be annoying, and of course his signature Hyper Beam
Lance has caught a Kingdra, which for some reason he does not use at all when he becomes the Champion. Like Gyarados Kingdra has Dragon Dance and Hyper Beam. He also knows Surf and Ice Beam. Kingdra's only weakness is Dragon types and Ice Beam can give them a hard time.
Lance's Aerodactyle ditched its pointless Scary Face and gotten a better moveset than before. He's replaced Wing Attack with Aerial Ace and also knows Earthquake. He still uses Hyper Beam and Ancient Power.
Lance's has evolved one of his Dragonair giving him two Dragonite. The weaker one knows Flamethrower to deal with Ice types, Dragon Claw for fellow Dragon's, Earthquake just for the hell of it and of course Lance's signature move Hyper Beam. Lance's stronger Dragonite has Thunderbolt, presumably because about half of the Ice types in this generation are also part Water types, or in Articuno's case is just as weak to Electricity as it is to Fire. He ditched Safeguard, having realised its useless for protecting him from the confusion of Outrage, but he now has a Persim Berry to heal that confusion. Furthermore he knows Ice Beam so using a Dragon type of your own is risky to say the least, and you should be able to guess his final move.
Blue
Even though you knocked him down, he came right back up. He's back with a "better" team than before, revising it so he takes care of the weaknesses. And he's not gonna let you beat him again. Or so he thinks.
- If you picked Bulbasaur
- If you picked Charmander
- If you picked Squirtle
He must have done a lot of training to get that Heracross and Larvitar up in the 70's. Our advantage, all of his dual-types (except Venusaur) have double weaknesses. On the downside, they have moves to cover up those double-weaknesses. Tyranitar's Sand Stream ability makes it so that there is a constant sandstorm on the battlefield until another weather condition covers it up. The only time that Blue's/Gary's Pokemon do not have another weather condition is when you pick Bulbasaur. His starter Pokemon has a Sitrus Berry, which can get very annoying when you are trying to whittle his health down.
After you beat Blue, Proffessor Oak comes in again, does the same thing, and you are in the Hall of Fame again. Hopefully you didn't run into too much trouble on the way. Your journey is rewarded with around 20,000 Pokedollars which you got from the battles. Hope you enjoyed your trip through Kanto!!
