Lance's has evolved one of his Dragonair giving him two Dragonite. The weaker one knows {{bpm|Famethrower}} to deal with Ice types, Dragon Claw for fellow Dragon's, Earthquake for any Steel types not weak to Flamethrower, 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 Electric as it is to Fire. He ditched Safeguard, having realized its useless for protecting him from the confusion of Outrage, but he now has a Persim Berry to heal said confusion, pretty much giving him a 4-6 turn Outrage. 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.

Your rival, now known as "CHAMPION <Rival name>", 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.
Blue, now known as "CHAMPION Blue", has replaced Pidgeot and Rhydon with Heracross and Tyranitar, respectively.

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 Pokémon 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 Pokémon are immune to Sandstorm.  However, two of the starters can override the Sandstorm, so keep that in mind.

Blastoise has Rain Dance and Hydro Pump like last time and has Earthquake to deal with Electric types and Ice Beam to take out Grass types, covering both of his weaknesses and therefore making him arguably the most difficult of the Starter Pokémon.

Charizard also knows Earthquake (blimey Rival is fond of that move) to deal with Electric and Rock types. Fortunately, he has nothing to cover his weakness to Water types. He still knows Fire Blast and Aerial Ace and has also learned Dragon Claw. Unlike Venusaur and Blastoise, he has no way of getting rid of Tyranitar's Sand Stream, so if you picked Venusaur, prepare for trouble.

After you beat Rival, Professor 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!!

You can always re-challenge the Elite Four any time you want, and remember, the game is not truly over until you catch them all!
 
Hope you enjoyed your trip through Kanto!!
