I have finally arrived at Indigo Plateau, and after giving some Candies to my Pokémon to boost their stats, and changed their moves around, it is time to fight the Elite Four, the most powerful trainers that specialize in different types. Those will be tough battles, so it is best to be prepared.

As the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description.

One thing I do not like about the Elite Four in this game is that all the Pokémon you fight have three moves, what is that all about? Their teams aren't too high leveled, because I remember in the original games, Lance's highest level Pokémon was at Level 62, but in this game, it is at Level 55, so I feel like they made the Elite Four a bit easier. I adjust my team's moves for each Elite Four fight so I have ways to counter different Pokémon on their teams.
Now onto the Elite Four, first up is Lorelei, an Ice-type specialist who we met back on Route 10, she does use a few Water-types on her team, here is her team and their moves.
Dewgong: Aqua Jet, Ice Shard, Waterfall
Jynx: Lovely Kiss, Blizzard, Psychic
Cloyster: Ice Beam, Spike Cannon, Hydro Pump
Slowbro: Psychic, Surf, Flamethrower
Lapras: Hydro Pump, Blizzard, Dragon Pulse

Lorelei's team shouldn't be too difficult if you have some Fire, Electric and Fighting-type moves on your team, her Lapras is tough, because Hydro Pump and Blizzard can hurt, and Jynx has Lovely Kiss, so unless you have anything faster than Jynx, prepare for a tough fight.
Next up is Bruno, a Fighting-type specialist who uses some Rock-types on his team, here is his team.
Onix: Iron Tail, Stealth Rock, Earthquake
Hitmonlee: Brick Break, Feint, Rock Slide
Hitmonchan: Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch
Poliwrath: Superpower, Waterfall, Body Slam
Machamp: Earthquake, Superpower, Rock Slide

Bruno is a tough challenge, but if you have a Flying, Psychic or Fairy-type, those should handle his Fighting-types, and a Grass or Water-type to take out Onix, who likes to use Stealth Rock. Hitmonchan has the Elemental Punches, and Machamp is a big threat, as Superpower and Earthquake can hurt if you don't have anything to counter it.
Next is Agatha, a Ghost-type specialist who knows Professor Oak from long ago, and she does have some Poison-types on her team, as there are not many Ghost-types in the game, here is her team.
Arbok: Glare, Crunch, Poison Jab
Gengar: Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb
Golbat: Air Slash, Crunch, Quick Attack
Weezing: Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt
Gengar: Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb

Agatha leads with Arbok, and it likes to use Glare on the first turn, her first Gengar knows Will-O-Wisp, while her second Gengar has Dazzling Gleam, and both Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb can hurt if you are not prepared. Weezing has Shadow Ball to counter Psychic-types, but since most Psychic-types are fast, they should be able to take out Weezing in one attack.
The final member is Lance, a Dragon-type specialist, and he has some non-Dragon-types on his team due to how limited Dragon-types are in this game, and all of his Pokémon know Hyper Beam. Here is his team.
Seadra: Hydro Pump, Dragon Pulse, Hyper Beam
Aerodactyl: Rock Slide, Earthquake, Hyper Beam
Gyarados: Waterfall, Iron Tail, Hyper Beam
Charizard: Air Slash, Dragon Pulse, Hyper Beam
Dragonite: Outrage, Fire Punch, Hyper Beam

Good thing Lance does not have any illegal moves, like in the original games where his Dragonite knew Barrier for some reason. Quite surprising to see him have a Seadra on his team, but then again it does evolve into Kingdra, which is part Dragon-type, but Kingdra is not in this game, and also good to see Charizard on his team as well. The Partner Pikachu should be able to sweep Lance's team aside from Dragonite, which an Ice-type move can easily take out. If you don't have any of these, Aerodactyl's Earthquake covers its weakness to Electric and Rock, and Dragonite's Outrage can hurt due to its high Attack.
I like what happens after beating Lance, one of the best moments in this game, but there is still one more Trainer to fight after beating the Elite Four.
