How to Beat The Elite Four & Champion

Defeat Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, Lance, and the Champion in Pokémon Yellow. Utilize elemental advantages and proper healing items for victory.

The Elite Four are the final challenge before becoming the Pokémon League Champion. You must defeat all four members and then the Champion in a single run without healing at a Pokémon Center. Stock up on Full Restores, Max Potions, and Revives!

Lorelei (Ice/Water):

• Pokémon: Dewgong (Lvl 54), Cloyster (Lvl 53), Slowbro (Lvl 54), Jynx (Lvl 56), Lapras (Lvl 56)
• Strategy: Electric and Grass-types are strong against her Water/Ice team. Jolteon, Venusaur, or Zapdos are excellent choices. Fighting and Rock moves also work well against Ice.

Bruno (Fighting/Rock):

• Pokémon: Onix (Lvl 53), Hitmonchan (Lvl 55), Hitmonlee (Lvl 55), Onix (Lvl 56), Machamp (Lvl 58)
• Strategy: Psychic and Flying-types are super effective against Fighting. Water and Grass work against Onix. Alakazam, Pidgeot, or Lapras are good options.

Agatha (Ghost/Poison):

• Pokémon: Gengar (Lvl 56), Golbat (Lvl 56), Haunter (Lvl 55), Arbok (Lvl 58), Gengar (Lvl 60)
• Strategy: Psychic-types are strong against her Ghost/Poison team. Ground-types are also effective against Poison. Alakazam, Dugtrio, or Rhydon are good choices. Be careful of Gengar's 'Confuse Ray'.

Lance (Dragon):

• Pokémon: Gyarados (Lvl 59), Dragonair (Lvl 56), Dragonair (Lvl 56), Aerodactyl (Lvl 60), Dragonite (Lvl 62)
• Strategy: Ice-type moves are 4x super effective against Dragonite and Dragonair. Electric is good against Gyarados and Aerodactyl. Lapras with 'Ice Beam' is a must-have. Jolteon or Zapdos are also excellent.

Champion: Blue (Your Rival):

• Pokémon: Pidgeot (Lvl 61), Alakazam (Lvl 59), Rhydon (Lvl 61), Arcanine (Lvl 61), Exeggutor (Lvl 61), Blastoise (Lvl 63) (Team varies slightly based on your starter)
• Strategy: Blue has a very balanced team. You'll need a diverse team of your own. Electric for Pidgeot and Blastoise. Water/Grass for Arcanine and Rhydon. Bug/Ghost for Alakazam. Fire/Ice for Exeggutor. This is the ultimate test of your team-building and battle skills.

Good luck, Champion!
