'''''The Elite Four battle is misleading—you actually have to battle five excellent Trainers with very strong Pokémon. | '''''The Elite Four battle is misleading—you actually have to battle five excellent Trainers with very strong Pokémon. You can't stop at a Pokémon Center between battles, so you'd better bring some HP-restoring products, some Revives and other important items with you.''''' | ||
The time has come! | The time has come! The rules for Indigo Plateau haven't changed: You have to do all five fights in a row, and you won't be able to get to a Pokémon Center in between. Consider spending all of your money at the Poké Mart first, so if you lose, you can keep the EXP but not suffer a cash penalty. Your party should have at least one good Fire, Electric, and Psychic Pokémon. Most of all, it needs a high level Ice Pokémon, and {{bp|Lapras}} is the best. Fighting-types are nice, but it's those four types that will win this war. | ||

;Strategy:Koga uses Bug-types and Poison-types, and with his first moves he'll try to poison your Pokémon. He'll also try to confuse your Pokémon, leaving them somewhat helpless. Fire continues to be great, roasting Koga's first three Pokémon. A Psychic-type or Ground/Rock-type can make equally short work of Poison-type {{bp|Muk}}, {{bp|Venomoth}}, and {{bp|Crobat}}. Bring plenty of Full Heals to counter the status conditions. | |||

Once beaten, be sure to place a Fighting-type as your lead. | ;Strategy:Unlike Koga, Bruno won't try to mess with your Pokémon's status. Instead, he will use Pokémon that strike hard and fast, hoping to knock your team out quickly and painfully. If your Psychic got wounded in the last round, heal it up before you go against Bruno since it's the key Pokémon against four of Bruno's five fighters. Give your Water or Ice Pokémon a warm-up with the {{bp|Onix}}, the only non-Fighting Pokémon in the lineup. | ||

;Strategy:Karen, the last of the Elite Four, uses Dark-type Pokémon in battle. Her Pokémon are particularly weak against Fighting-type or Bug-type. Karen's non-Dark Pokémon (Gengar and Vileplume) share the Poison-type and will be easily dispatched with a Psychic- or Ground-type. Ground-type is effective against three of her dual-type Pokémon, and with a Rock-type move it could additionally dispatch Murkrow. | |||
Once finished, place an Electric-type into the lead because Lance's first Pokémon is a Gyarados. | |||

;Strategy:Yes, it's the same Lance from the [[../Lake of Rage/]]. He's grateful for your help but he's also the Champion, so you have to beat his team of mostly Dragon-types. Ice-type is 4x super effective against his three Dragonites. Electric-type is 4x effective against {{bp|Gyarados}}. A high-level Ice/Water-type such as {{bp|Lapras}} or {{bp|Dewgong}} is a great choice because it can deal with all three of the {{bp|Dragonite}} and can do wonders against {{bp|Charizard}} and {{bp|Aerodactyl}} too. Also, Rock-type moves are super effective against all six Flying-types. | |||
