PLEASE URGENT HELP WITH DEFEATING STEVEN
 
You can Surf/Flamethrower the Steel Pokémons. You could also Earthquake Aggron.
Claydol - beaten with Milotic's Surf or Sceptile's Leaf Blade
Cradily - Toxic it with Sceptile if you want, then used Milotic's Surf/Swellow's Steel Wing
Armaldo - Surf using Milotic
 
You can really screw up armaldo and metagross with earthquakes as well.
 
well today my team made a great effort espeacially mi mi ( milotic) nut i still lost
the battle:
2 flamethrower and doom to skarmory
2 surfs and bye claydol
2 brick break bye aggron
1 critical hit ice beam bye bye cradily
one ice beam and one surf = bye bye armaldo
1 earthquake from salamence(28 HP)
metagross uses meteor mash bye salamence
1 surf from milotic, hyper potion used then meteor mash, by mi mi
go sceptile one meteor mash attackand bye bye sceptile
go swellow use steel wing( not very effective)
meteor mash used 9 hp left
endeavour used, metagfross 2 hp left metagross kills swellow

i cry :(
 
Did you save before Stevens door?If not than you must go again all the way to Steven and bring about 10 revives.If you did than try again.
 
Personally, I would advise just going back and stocking up better this time...
 
Just use mioltic and Salamence and u should win if u need more help pm me i just beat him. o yes and save before u battle him.
 
First of all, it would be most beneficial for us to know the levels of your Pokémon before suggesting a strategy. However I will give you a general idea nonetheless. His Scarmory and Metagross both have a Fire weakness and our feathered friend will not easily survive a powerful electric attack either. Aggron will certainly find trouble when you attack him with Surf or a powerful Fighting-attack. Claydol will also meat its match when facing Surf or being cut into little pieces by Leaf Blade, hopefully a critical one. Cradily has a tremendous weakness for Ice Beam being Rock and Grass. Armaldo will go down when being hit by either Surf of Steel Wing. But another Ice Beam might do the trick too.
But for your next encounters with the Champion, be sure to buy extra items.
 
Keep Salamence as long as u can....Hes the only one on your team who will be able to defeat Metagross...

Lead with Milotic to take out Skarmory in an Ice Beam...then switch accordingly...He will probably switch to Cradily, so Ice beam that aswell...Then he will switch to Armaldo (probably) so switch to anything that can kill it that isnt Salamence. If he uses Claydol surf it to oblivion, same with Aggron.

Now by this point, if you have anything left with Milotic try and do as much as you can to Metagross...It will help Salamence in killing him. Use EQ or Flamethrower so do as much damage as possible and if Sala gets killed switch into anything that can take a Meteor Mash...If thats Swellow Endeavor like crazy before he kills you. By this point, Sceptile could probably do a bit of damage, but DO NOT PUT HIM INTO THE RED ZONE! Steven will Full Restore him instantly...and you will effectively be screwed...Do as much as you can to Metagross before bringing out Salamence. EQ and pray for a critical hit...

And what levels are your pokemon btw? I beat steven with Lv 45s to 50's...I burnt Metagross tho :p
 
all are at 50 or above
i used loads of orans so they have good HP
yup i have saved
and even my friend is telling me to start the elites over
i can't belive i got that far on one revive on yper potion and a berry !
thanks a lot guys i'll just keep trying
i can beat his team its his meteor mash and thAt cradily which annoy me
cradily uses gigadrain to kill mi mi and anceient power to keill othere i just hop for critical hit
plus i am the unluckiest guy
i got a critical hit on cradily got to metagross my swellow surved a meteor mash and endevoured him to 2 HP!! but then i lost !
well wish me luck
oh and i really can't depend on mi mi much cause it is very low on HP
 
If I were you I would use good fire-type pokemon. I don`t remember how I beat Steven, it was long time ago, but I know I didn`t have troubles with his team. Only Cradily pissed me off. It used Mega Drain all the time. If you have troubles use Torkoal or Camerupt (Ninetales would be fine too). Your Milotic sucks. Give her Ice beam/Surf/Rest/Sleep Talk. She will be much harder to beat. If you start next time and you don`t want to train fire-type pokemon, keep Salamance alive and keep her Flametrhower PP. She will be fine against steel-types.
 
Skye, its a bit too late to change Pokémons. This being Ruby, RestTalk Milotic is unavailable. Toxic is given to Sceptile so Milotic can't have it either.

Hell_fire, if you loose, just go through the Elite 4 again. Don't bother re-setting again to re-battle Steven again. By starting over, you will be able to level up your Pokémons and they will be stronger than they were in your previous match with Steven. This way, you will have a higher and higher chance to defeat Steven. Your current method of simply resetting, makes you rely on luck to win the battle.
 
loopy100's tip worked!?!?!?!
mi mi took out 4 of stevens (after sokme reseting)
then 5th was metagross i switched to swellow its took a meteor mash then hit with a powerful endeavour bringing its Hp to red i switched to salemnce while steens metagross's berry brought it too yellow, slamence delivered an earthquake(he did not use a heal) and metagross fell down and out
and armaldo i toyed with a little while then killed it with mi mi
SO I WON!!!!!!!!
what now? battle ower sucks cause all my team is above 50 so ii can only enter the level 100 one where the lv100s kick my butt
so what do i do?
 
Congrats on defeating the Elite 4.

Are you sure about the Battle Tower Restriction? I thought that the foe's level equal to your Pokémon's level.
 
^No, there is the lvl 100 section and the lvl 50 section, anyone can go in the 100, but they have to be 50 or lower for the 50 section. The foes in each area are either lvl 50 or lvl 100.
