Prepare for the ultimate challenge in Pokémon Gold and Silver! This guide details trainer parties, recommended items, and strategies to defeat the Elite Four and Champion at the Indigo Plateau.
Walkthrough
- 1Heal and Shop: Upon arriving at the Indigo Plateau, visit the Pokémon Center to heal your team and the shop to stock up. Recommended items include 5-10 Full Heals, 10-15 Hyper Potions, and 5-10 Revives. Adjust quantities based on your team's level and your battling skill.
- 2Prepare for Battle: Northeast of the shop and nurse's station is the entrance to the Elite Four battling chambers. Once you enter, you cannot leave until all five battles are completed.
- 3Battle Elite Four Will:
- Earnings: $4200
- Pokémon: Xatu (Lv. 40), Jynx (Lv. 41), Exeggutor (Lv. 41), Slowbro (Lv. 41), Xatu (Lv. 42)
- Weaknesses: Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Will's Psychic moves. Steel-types resist all offensive moves. Rock, Ice, Electric, and Bug types are also effective against various Pokémon in his team. Avoid Ghost-types weak to Psychic.
- Strategy: Focus on quickly KOing the Xatus with supereffective STAB moves. Jynx is more threatening with STAB Ice Punch and Psychic; Dark or Steel types are still ideal, but Rock, Bug, or Fire types can also work. Exeggutor uses Leech Seed and Reflect to stall; strong Bug-type moves are effective, especially before Reflect is set up. Slowbro is bulky and resistant to many types.
Tips
- Dark-type Pokémon are highly effective against Elite Four Will due to immunity to his Psychic-type moves.
- Steel-type Pokémon resist all of Will's offensive moves.
- Consider the recommended item list, but tailor your inventory to your specific team and playstyle.
- The battles are sequential; ensure you are fully prepared before entering the first chamber.
