Strategy:

Will is the first member of the Elite Four and specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic attacks and deal super effective damage, making them invaluable here. Bug and Ghost-type moves are also super effective. Be cautious of his Pokémon's secondary types.

Elite Four: Will
  • Xatu: Both Xatu are Psychic/Flying. Electric, Ice, and Rock moves are super effective. Dark and Ghost moves are also good. Confuse Ray can be annoying.
  • Jynx: Ice/Psychic. Fire, Rock, Bug, Ghost, and Dark moves are all super effective. Lovely Kiss can put your Pokémon to sleep, so have Awakenings ready.
  • Exeggutor: Grass/Psychic. This Pokémon has a lot of weaknesses: Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Fire and Bug are particularly strong. Hypnosis can be problematic.
  • Slowbro: Water/Psychic. Electric and Grass moves are super effective. Bug, Ghost, and Dark are also good. Amnesia and Curse can make it very bulky if not dealt with quickly.

Consider bringing a strong Dark-type like Umbreon or Tyranitar (if you managed to get one). Houndoom is also excellent. Otherwise, focus on exploiting individual weaknesses with a diverse team. use status conditions to your advantage and keep your Pokémon healed.
