The first of the four trainers, | The first of the four trainers, Lorelei, may well be the toughest… Although if you have strong Electric type attackers, that's not saying much. {{bp|Zapdos}} learns Thunder at level 51, {{bp|Jolteon}} and {{bp|Electabuzz}} at level 54, {{bp|Pikachu}} at level 43 (R/B; 41 in Y), and {{bp|Magneton}} and {{bp|Electrode}} can learn it from '''TM 25'''… So there's no excuse not to have at least one fighter with this incredible attack that's capable of wiping out four of Lorelei's five attackers with one shot each. The exception is pesky Ice/Psychic hybrid Jynx. Jynx is weak against fire-type attacks, so {{bp|Charizard}}, {{bp|Ninetales}}, or any Pokémon with Flamethrower or Fire Blast will take her down with ease. Fighting-types also work very well here. Hitmonlee's Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick, as well as Machamp's Submission are super-effective against her Dewgong, Cloyster, and Lapras. | ||

Bruno is the easiest of the four. A {{bp|Cloyster}}, {{bp|Blastoise}}, or any other Water-type Pokémon can kill his two Onixes in one shot by just using Surf, and his three fighters aren't much tougher. A good Psychic can wipe them out, but you might as well just stick with {{bp|Zapdos}}. His Drill Peck shreds Fighters, and he always gets to go first, allowing him to knock them out before they can even attempt to fight back. Zapdos is just such an incredible Pokémon for fighting the Elite Four! If you don't have one already, you must go get one, and if something happens to it in battle, don't be stingy with the '''Revives'''. If you don't have Zapdos, any flying-type Pokémon is good, as long as it has a flying-type attack, such as Fly. You may also want to consider a {{bp|Golduck}} or a {{bp|Slowbro}}. Their mix of water and psychic abilities is perfect for dealing with Bruno's whole team. | |||

Agatha could be one of your tougher opponents if she didn't fight so poorly (despite her claims to the contrary) by wasting turns using Dream Eater against awake opponents and switching her Pokémon basically at random. All of her Pokémon can easily be taken out by psychic and ground-type attacks, so an Alakazam or a Dugtrio would be powerful against Agatha's team. The flying-type Golbat, however, is immune to ground-type attacks, but is weak to electric and ice-type attacks. But if you're missing out on either of those, any strong fighters will do. | |||

Lance Dragonairs and Dragonite may be your first experience with Dragon-types, so here's all you need to know: Dragons, including the part flying-type {{bp|Aerodactyl}}, can't stand ice. Blizzard may even be overkill since Ice Beam usually means defeat in a single turn. That's why it is best to pack an {{bp|Articuno}}. If you don't have Articuno, any Pokémon with ice-type moves will do. {{bp|Dewgong}}, {{bp|Lapras}}, or other water-types with ice-type abilities are very good choices, as well as other water-types with an ice-type move. TM13 and TM14 contain Ice Beam and Blizzard, respectively, and all water-types in the game can be taught either of these moves. As for Gyarados, let's see… Flying ''and'' Water types? That means ''quadruple'' damage from Electric attacks, so bring {{bp|Zapdos}} or any Pokémon with electric attacks. | |||
