Hey guys, any advice for taking out the elite 4?? I've been looking around the web at serebii and ign, and stuff.
:I have Diamond
Possible fighters:
Mantyke (Wing attack, Water Pulse, Take Down, and Confuse Ray) lvl 39
Steelix (Rock Polish, DragonBreath, Iron Tail, Crunch) lvl 45
Abomasnow (Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Strength, Wood Hammer) Lvl 40
Mr. Mime (Psybeam, Drain Punch, Thunder, Psychic) Lvl 45
Sneasel (Faint Attack, Blizzard, Slash, Icy Wind) Lvl 47
Rapidash (Take Down, Stomp, Fire Blast, Ember) 45
Turtwig [Still training] (Absorb, Bite, Mega Drain, Leech Seed) Lvl 32
Honchkrow (Mean Look, Faint attack, Sky attack {I had to breed that into him}, Fly) Lvl 42
Pikachu (Thunderbolt, LightScreen, Thunder, Discharge) Lvl 46
Lucario (Reversal, Force Palm, Aura Sphere, Close Combat) Lvl 46
Floatzel (Surf, Aqua Jet, Crunch, Razor Wind) Lvl 50
Golduck (Surf, Waterfall, Zen Headbutt, Strength) Lvl 51
Empolean (Brine, Whirlpool, Waterfall, Drill Peck) Lvl 52
Dialga (Metal Claw, AncientPower, Dragon Claw, Roar of Time) Lvl 47
Manaphy (Heart Swap, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Acid Armor) Lvl 50
Also a monpherno at lvl 32 but I don't have the cash to see his moves (he's in the Training place and i blew all my cash on revives and shit)
Likely Team
You have to understand that i know my pokemon. Some are stronger than others, and some have better constitutions than the others. I will train all to lvl 55 before attempting the Elite 4, but i know some of my decisions don't make sense.
{these types of parenthesis mean that i will probably take him no matter what anybody says These Pokes are very likely just my favorites}
[Parenthesis mean that i'm Very Likely to take, mainly for strategic reasons]
(not sure at all about)
(Turtwig (for taking out the Ground type guy, Bertha, but i hate training pokemons... >:( ) )
[ Honchkrow (Can very possibly eliminate the bug type guy Aaron) ]
( Pikachu (support against the flying types in Aarons Cadre, as well Drifblim?) )
[ Lucario (I love lucario :) No other reason than that) ]
{ Floatzel (Best water type pokemon by far, and he's my starter (I hated Piplup so i switched to buizel way back when. That said, he can easily handle Flint in a snap) }
[ Sneasel (Will take out lucian's psychics and possibly Cynthia's Garchomp) ]
If you read this, you're amazing. Now what do I want to know? What should my team be? Do you think i picked a strong enough well rounded team? Is there any advice to give me?
If you're gonna answer, be thorough. Don't just say "Yah that'll do." I need to know why something is bad or good, or if there is something i should know before attempting it.
Lastly, does anybody know whether you get to face Dawn after fighting the Elite 4? I need to see Infernape to finish my pokedex.
