How Hard Was the Elite Four For You?

[MysteryMooseMan]

I just beat Cynthia, my Pokemon all around level 57-58. I beat the other Four easily with type-effective Pokemon... The Elite Four really wasn't hard for me at all. What about you guys? Have you had one of those "OMGWTFBBQ WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE A CRITICAL :banghead:" moments? Cause that's definitely happened to me before... In Pearl...

There have been easier times in my Pokémon-playing life than battling the Sinnoh E4. The ones in previous generations were a bit easier, to be honest. That's in Diamond, haven't got there yet in Platinum. There were moments where I wanted to break something, but compared to Cynthia ... Cynthia is no piece of cake. I admit my Pokémon were levels 45-48 when I got to her, but that wasn't an issue in any of the previous games. Oh well. After a few weeks of trying (I saved my game before I challenged her,)I decided to try again some time later and do some more training. Which is where I'm now. I want to get all my Pokémon over 50. At least.

In HG, I didnt have much trouble except with champion lance, but i beat him too. I am close to taking on Red, and then my goal will be to fill up the Johto Dex.

It's always been easy; I've only lost when I played Leaf Green for the first time (it was my first pokemon game). I've only had a 'OMG ALWAYS WITH TEH CRITS!!!1!!' once, with the Battle Factory. Damn Mightyena got a critical hit on me. AND ON THE LAST BATTLE BEFORE THORTON.

What about you guys? Have you had one of those "OMGWTFBBQ WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE A CRITICAL :banghead:" moments?

Every.....single....time....:banghead: Just when I'm about to win "It's a critical hit.....It's not very effective"

Well...

Sinnoh: Tough as nails, I beat Cynthia the first time by the skin of my teeth.

Johto: I cheated, so they were far too easy.

Kanto-easy
Johto-hard because I had NOTHING that outsped Lances' Aerodactyl.
Hoenn-pretty damn easy, although Steven was tricky.
Sinnoh-pretty easy also, except Cynthia's Grachomp can be a pain.

Lance, surprisingly, was the hardest I remember. Emerald with Rayquaza was a piece of cake, Pearl and Plat were not that hard, but Lance had 3 dragons!

I had the Red G and Ho-oh left, against one last dragonite. Guess which move it knew? Thunder. About 7 bitter max revive things It was out of PP and Red G ice fanged for the win. Booyah

Johto Elite four has to be the easiest Elite four ever!I beat them without having to try again.Good thing my Lugia had Dragon Rush!

 

[Soulweaver]

E4s haven't ever been hard. Tried to make the Johto one so by going there with a horribly underleveled party (around level 35), it made it more challenging for sure.

 

[Kokoro]

I still haven't beaten them in some of my games that I've had for years :sweat:

 

[pikachu200]

Not really only 1 or 2 pokemon give me trouble on the teams in Sinnoh

HG/SS Lance was a bit harder then again I didnt have any electric types

 

[pastafari]

jotho was easy, althought my feraligatr had an epic battle with lance: she defeated all lance's pokes but gyarados by herself.
sinnoh in platinum was hard, but empoleon had a great fight against garchomp, i think he won for his gens (bold, and good perseverance, starter).
Also, there was a time in gold when i complete all the road to lance just with my feraligatr and some hm slaves

 

[Roulette]

HGSS was too easy, almost insultingly so.
Diamond was pretty tough. I just ran through it without using items until my pokemon were all strong enough to fight Cynthia. The others were pretty easy though, Flint was destroyed by my Golduck and Garchomp, Bertha was destroyed by my Golduck and Roserade, Aaron was destroyed because he sucks by my Infernape, and Lucian (he was actually kinda tough) was destroyed by my pokemon as a team.

 

[Youngster_Joey]

In HG/SS, the first run against the Elite four wasn't that bad.

Second run, the champion was always a thorn on my side. With his stupid Salamence who even held itself well against Ho Oh, and his Outrage spamming Garchomp and Dragon Dance Gyarados. It wasn't until I started using an Ice-Beaming, life orb Lapras 'till I was able to take him out with ease.

 

[FatKidLovesCoke]

i never really did elite four competitively because of cheats of rare candys lol but it was when i had pearl and it was SOOOOOO hard to take out lucian's bronzong i wanted to KILL MYSELF but i won regardless lol

 

[¿Mukuhawku?]

I defeated the HGSS Elite Four real easily,. The only member I remember having trouble with was Will and his Slowpoke. The rest from there, even Lance, was a piece of cake.

 

[Shiny Poliwag]

My pokemon were all Lv.67 so I swept
I was doing a all battle run that means no repels battle every trainer and wild pokemon so I had good levels

 

[apenpaap]

The Kanto Elite Four is always very hard for me, except Blue (Weirdly. I guess it's because since he has all different types, every pokemon in my team has a good use, while against the other half my team is always useless because of typings).
The Johto Elite Four is easy as pie on the first go, but hard on the second. At least Karen and LAnce are. Will, Koga and Bruno still suck.
The Hoenn Elite Four isn't very hard, and Emerald made it easier by switrching Steven for Wallace. Apart from Steven and sometimes Drake, I dodn't think any of them ever gave me trouble.
The Sinnoh Elite Four was very hard for me, as each of them managed to beat me time and again until my team rerached level 60-65. This was partly because I was grossly underleveled.

 

[sajuukar]

Went into the Johto Elite Four with four level-45 Pokemon and I didn't expect to win, but I got SUPER lucky during the battles with critical hits and the like as well as having a growlithe on my team that had really great IVs before I knew what IVs were.

I know some of you think it'd be a piece of cake, but I had a very low knowledge of Pokemon at the time. Now im a geenyous.
