Agatha

Lance

Champion



I'd say Loreli, I used my Blastoise so I really didn't have an edge, other than that was it me or were the rest pushovers?

I always think it's your Rival, because of the wear and tear on the Pokémon.

Your rival has to be the hardest because he has a well balanced team and that their at really high levels. Second would have to be Lance, because if you do not have an ice type you are pretty much screwed.

I just did the elite four earlier and found lorelei to be the hardest simply because I don't have a grass or electric in my squad, bruno and agatha were stupidly easy with alakazam :p

But if you've got just one team member packing Ice Beam, and by this point in the game you should, then he's a push-over. The hardest member? Obviously your rival because he uses a balanced team, but Lorelei's the trickiest mono-typer. I usually beat them all on my first try though.

Agatha is the hardest for me. =P I thought my rival was the easiest though.
 
your rival is not an elite four,is the champion,but whatever.....i haven't beaten them,so i can't really tell:\...I think if you have "all"or most of the weaknesses cover,you shouldn't worry about a thing..

Hmm...my team slaughters all the Elite Four's pokemon, but I used to have a LOT of trouble with Lances Aerodactyl.

It would spam AP, getting the full stat boosts at LEASt three times, then sweep my entire goddamn team...

After I levelled up my Kingdra though, it became a pushover

First time around, your rival.
But for me Agatha was the hardest the second time around (all her Pokemon knew Thunderbolt and Earthquake.)

The one and only.
I think that Agatha is the hardest, because she is in the middle with all the ghost/poison types. Plus she makes me have to waste my revives and potions.

First round: Lance. No one on my team knew any Ice moves, and I only had 5 pokemon. To me at least, he was by far the hardest during that round. Having to constantly revive my Raichu while stalling with Flareon was sort of a hassle.

Second Round: Rival. Whole team was in the low 60's when I first went, so it was pretty difficult. Heracross was the only real challenge, as I really did'nt expect him to be on my Rivals team.

Well I guess I thought that Bruno was the hardest member of the Elite Four the first time around. I have no idea why, but I was undefeated in the game up until him, and am undefeated since. I just don't get it, he's a pretty straight-forward trainer. Oh well, the second time around Lance was by far the hardest. The addition of Kingdra really prolonged the battle, but I prevailed in the end.

One good psychic like Alakahzam sweeps her entire team. Even before I was using Kazam I punked her out with Arcanine and Raichu. I took some damage, but hey, stuff happens. After that, Kazam just swept her whole team with OHKO's.

Luckily I restarted my game last night, I like actually playing the game itself, unlike some of our more competitive players here. Going through the story, beating the Elite 4 and the game, thats all that matters to me really. After that its just battle after battle training Pokemon for no reason other than bragging rights and improved chances on the off chance you like up.

Hardest member: Lance
Easiest member: Bruno
Most over-hyped member: Rival

Your Rival sucks, you lose to him once to learn his order, and after that he is a completely chump who gets punked on a constant basis. Here's how it went on the second run of the Elite Four every time on my other game

Rival sends out Heracross
Arcanine uses Flamethrower
Heracross fainted.
Rival sends out Tyranitar
Shinobi sends out Blastoise
Blastoise uses Surf
Tyranitar uses Thunderbolt
Blastoise uses Surf
Tyranitar fainted.
Rival sends out Venusaur.
Shinobi sends out Arcanine
Arcanine uses Flamethrower
Venusaur fainted.

Then for the rest of his chumps I basically repeated the process, Gyrados got OHKO'd but Thunderbolt, Alakhazam gets knocked out in one hit by Aerodactyl, Arcanine loses to Blastoise. Rival dead. If you have a well balanced team of decent levels ( Mine were 8 under on average ) you can sweep him on type advantage alone. All it takes it speed and the type advantage and you've got yourself an easy match. Blastoise never did kill Tyranitar though in one hit, which pisses me off to this day, damn his high special defense!

Rival and Loreli. not 'Nough said.

Fixed it for you. Did you bother to explain why you find them the hardest? NO, so it's not enough said, and it's " 'Nuff said ", not " 'Nough said "

My team is as ballenced as my rival's, so I don't have trouble with that. Lorelei can be a challange. especially her slowbro o_O;; I don't know why, but it's alway the hardest

When I traded all my level 100 pokemon from my FireRed to my Emerald and I used those high level pokemon from my Emerald to my FireRed at the Elite Four and i've figured out the hardest one, Lance, the Dragon Master.
