===Elite Four Will===
===1: Elite Four Will===
All of Will's Pokémon are part Psychic, but a good way to go is Electric.  A good Electric Pokémon can fry {{bp|Slowbro}} and the two {{bp|Xatu}} in one shot each, and Fire works great on the others.  Beating Will is all in using the right type at the right time.

===Elite Four Koga===
===2: Elite Four Koga===
Fire continues to be great, roasting Koga's first three Pokémon.  A nice Psychic like {{bp|Alakazam}} or {{bp|Espeon}} can make equally short work of Poison-type {{bp|Muk}}, {{bp|Venomoth}}, and {{bp|Crobat}}.  You should still be coasting on type matching at this point.

===Elite Four Bruno===
===3: Elite Four Bruno===
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 Ice Pokémon (preferably Water/Ice {{bp|Lapras}}) a warm-up with the {{bp|Onix}}.

===Elite Four Karen===
===4: Elite Four Karen===
Many of Karen's Pokémon can be tricky to counter-type.  {{bp|Vileplume}} and {{bp|Murkrow}} will go down with Fire and Electric respectively, and any part-Normal Pokémon is great for {{bp|Gengar}}.  Darks are tougher; they're vulnerable only to Fighting and Bug.

===Champion Lance===
===5: Champion Lance===
These Pokémon are tough! Here's where the high-level {{bp|Lapras}} (or {{bp|Jynx}}, {{bp|Dewgong}} or {{bp|Cloyster}}) comes in. It gets to deal with all three of the {{bp|Dragonite}}, and if it has a good Water attack, it can do wonders against {{bp|Charizard}} and {{bp|Aerodactyl}} too.  As for other types, you'll want to switch to Electric for {{bp|Gyarados}} and maybe {{bp|Charizard}}, but other Pokémon are most useful for stalling while you heal your Ice-type attacker.
