Beat the Pokémon League in Pokémon Platinum

Getting to the Pokémon League is no easy task, neither is defeating the Elite Four. This article will give you all the tips you need to beat the Elite Four and become the Pokémon Champion.

Steps

  1. The first Elite Four member is Aaron, who uses Bug-type Pokémon. His Yanmega and Vespiquen are not hard to defeat and they're both 4x weak against Rock-type moves. His Scizor and Heracross are slightly easy to beat and Scizor is 4x weak against Fire-type moves, while Heracross is 4x weak against Flying-type moves. His Drapion is slightly hard to beat, but is weak against Ground-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 51 before taking him on.
  2. The second Elite Four member is Bertha, who uses Ground-type Pokémon. She might be the second Elite Four member, but her Pokémon have many weaknesses. Her Whiscash is slightly easy to beat and is 4x weak against Grass-type moves. Here Golem isn't hard to beat, while her Rhyperior is, but they're both 4x weak against Water-type and Grass-type moves. Her Hippowdon is slightly hard to beat, but is weak against Water-type, Grass-type and Ice-type moves. Here Gliscor isn't hard to beat and is 4x weak against Ice-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 53 before taking her on.
  3. The third Elite Four member is Flint, who uses Fire-type Pokémon. He's tougher than Aaron and Bertha, so make sure your Pokémon team is healed up before challenging him. His Houndoom, Rapidash and Flareon are slightly easy to beat, while his Infernape and Magmortar are slightly hard to beat. All of his Pokémon are commonly weak against Water-type and Ground-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 55 before taking him on.
  4. The fourth Elite Four member is Lucian, who uses Psychic-type Pokémon. He's even harder to beat than Flint, so make sure your Pokémon team is healed up before challenging him. His Bronzong is hard to beat, but is weak against Fire-type moves. His Mr. Mime is easy to beat, while his Alakazam, Gallade and Espeon aren't, but they're all commonly weak to Ghost-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 57 before taking him on.
  5. Before you challenge the Pokémon Champion, Cynthia, make sure your Pokémon team is healed up and you have everything prepared. The only thing that changes in Platinum is her Pokémon. She now has a Togekiss, rather than a Gastrodon. She still has her other Pokémon from Diamond/Pearl. All of her Pokémon (except Roserade) are hard to beat. Her Spiritomb has no weakness, so you're going to have to hit it with your strongest attack. Her Garchomp, Togekiss and Roserade are commonly weak against Ice-type moves. Her Milotic is weak against Electric-type and Grass-type moves. Her Lucario is weak against Fire-type, Fighting-type and Ground-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 60 before taking her on.



Tips

  • Make sure to have plenty of Max Potions, Full Restores, Max Revives and Revival Herbs.
  • Cynthia is the most difficult. Even if you are extremely confident in yourself, double check your abilities before battling her.
  • Before you take on the Elite Four, make sure your Pokémon have very good attacking movesets.
  • If you lose, train your Pokémon in Victory Road.

Warnings

  • Make sure to save between each match.
  • You can't save when you're with Cynthia, so save in front of Lucian.
  • If you lose to anyone in the Pokémon League, you will have to start over!
