Before you can claim the title of Pokemon Master in the Unova Region, you must first defeat the Elite Four and the Pokemon Champion.
The Elite Four of the Unova Region are no push overs. Their team of Pokemon are actually more balanced and uses different types of Pokemon. Make sure that you’re well equipped with Potions and other items that will aid you in this battle. Remember that once you enter the room where the first Elite Four is, the battle will be continuous. No Pokemon Center is here to heal you!
Below is the little strategy guide on how to beat the Elite Four of the Unova Region.
ELITE FOUR SHAUNTAL
Shauntal’s team of Pokemon uses mainly Ghost-type Pokemon. When it comes to a Ghost-type Pokemon, they’re basically weak to both Ghost and Dark-type attacks. If you have a Ghost type TM, teach it to a Normal type Pokemon.
Pokemon Used: Cofagrigus, Jellicent, Froslass, Golurk, Drifblim (Lv 71), Chandelure (Lv 73)
ELITE FOUR GRIMSLEY
Grimsley’s Pokemon are all Dark-type Pokemon. To all of his Pokemon except for Drapion, using a Fighting-type moves will be very advantageous in this battle. For Drapion, use a Ground type attack.
Pokemon Used: Sharpedo, Krookodile, Scafty, Liepard, Drapion (Lv 71), Bisharp (Lv 73)
ELITE FOUR CAITLIN
Majority of Caitlin’s Pokemon are Psychic type while Metagross and Bronzong are mixed with Steel type. For both of these Pokemon, using fire or ground-type attacks will be very effective. As for the rest of the psychic Pokemon, using a Bug, Dark or Ghost type attacks will take them down very easily.
Pokemon Used: Musharna, Sigilyph, Bronzong, Reuniculus, Gothitelle (Lv 71), Metagross (Lv 73)
ELITE FOUR MARSHALL
The last Elite Four that you will be facing likes to use Pokemon with fighting type attacks. To easily taking down this last Elite Four, using Flying and Psychic move attacks will be the choice you will have.
Pokemon Used: Breloom, Throh, Toxicroak, Meinshao, Sawk (Lv 71), Sawk (Lv 73)
CHAMPION ALDER
With the Elite Four now defeated, you only have trainer to defeat and that is the Pokemon Champion, Alder. When it comes to Alder’s Pokemon, his team is pretty much well mixed. The type of attacks that your Pokemon should carry are the following; flying, fire, rock, ground, and dragon type.
Pokemon Used: Accelgor, Bouffaiant, Escavalier, Druddigon, Vanilluxe, (Lv 75), Volcarona (Lv 77)

Elite 4: Aaron
March 14, 2011 at 10:23 PMIts tradition for me to fight the Elite 4 around lv. 50 and above, any Pokémon level below lv. 50 are all whimps and shouldn’t be brought into the Elite 4.
Use your own strategy when battling the elite, that’s what I say.

March 31, 2012 at 5:39 PMI beat the elite 4 the first time around only using 3 pokemon:
I used a lvl 47 Sawk for Grimsley (dark is weak to fighting) I also had a lvl 45 Emboar which knew Arm Thrust for back up (just in case).
I used a lvl 44 Sigilyph for Marshall (fighting is weak to flying/psychic) I also had a lvl 40 Unfezant for back up (just in case).
I used a lvl 47 Krookodile for Shauntal and Caitlin (psychic and ghost are weak to dark) I also had a lvl 43 Druddigon which knew Night Slash and Crunch for back up (just in case).
My team were all in the lvl 40-50 range, but levelled up as I went along, the Ellite 4 in 5th Gen is one of the easiest to fight.
Hope this helped ^.^

April 14, 2012 at 3:05 PMThe elite 4 ( first time ) is easy (ish) if u have zekrom/reshiram, a fight Pokemon, a psychic Pokemon, ur starter, and a dark Pokemon if u have a scrafty use that and a ghost Pokemon instead of a dark pokemon and fight pokemon. All level 52+.
If ur Pokemon arnt that level, train a lot on audinos
If they r ev trained well (look it up online) u should blast through easy
alternitivly ( although this is cheating ) if u hav 2 ds and another Pokemon white or black trade a team for each member of the elite 4 to the other ds then when u get to the member use infa red to trade the team over u can also use this to heal ur team 4 free between each batle. This works second time and 3rd and 4th and 5th … Ect

June 28, 2012 at 2:29 AMHi, I’ve battled the Elite Four for like, what, 6 times now and lost all of em’. So what I have is a Lvl 48 Gothitelle, Lvl. 48 Samurott, Lvl. 49 Conkeldurr, Lvl. 47 Zebstrika, Lvl. 49 Kangaskhan, and a Lvl. 64 Kingler. I know I have two water types, but Samurott is my starter Pokemon and had great attacks that I can use in battles. Kingler I only have for his high level. He helps me with one hit kills. C: I can replace him with Scyther Lvl. 56. Scyther or Kingler? :C please, I need help!! And where can I train my Pokemon? ._.

July 8, 2012 at 7:27 PMActually, I beat Marshall with my stater and Sigilyth. First, have Sigilyth above level 40, and your stater above level fifty. Save before you battle too. Have Sigilyth learn fly, and use the move until you are about to be knocked out. If you have 10 hp left, switch to your starter and use any move. Repeat until all of his Pokemon are knocked out.
