What Level Were Your Pokemon When You Faced Elite Four First Time?

41 to 44 on my current playthrough. Feraligatr, Pinsir, Girafarig, and Lapras. (I decided to use only Pokemon that don't evolve, besides my starter.) First three were easy, but Karen's Houndoom beat me first time round when it Nasty Plotted up. I made sure to nail it with Lapras' Surfs on the rematch. Then Lance's Aerodactyl ripped my team to shreds twice, outspeeding everything I had and hitting it for super-effective. On my third attempt I lead with Lapras (who walls everything Gyarados threw at it), gave it two X Speeds, and put up rain. It was still slower than Aerodactyl, but the Rock Slide missed leaving Lapras free to sweep. Not the fairest of wins, but it worked.

Mine were low forties, and I only used five Pokemon: Feraligatr, Butterfree, Togetic, Growlithe, and Tauros.

...I like to challenge myself.

Level 50 for all members of my teams, maybe a little bit above. I level-grinded a lot before facing the E4 so they would give me less trouble. And that is also how it went, I barely had any trouble at all against any of the members.
 
Mine were level 65-70 . I had typhlosion,pidgeot,furret,butterfree,and quagsire.

Mine were in the low to mid 40s but I don't remember my exact team. My last playthrough my Pokemon were in the high 30s.

They were from their early 40's to their late 40's, gotta train your pokemon to make it to lance and hold up against those 3 dragonite.
