Recommended Preparations:

  • Full Heals: Stock up on Max Potions, Full Restores, Revives, and Full Heals.
  • Status Cures: Bring plenty of Antidotes, Paralyze Heals, Burn Heals, and Awakenings.
  • Held Items: Equip your Pokémon with useful items like Leftovers, Choice Scarf, Life Orb, or type-boosting plates.
  • Diverse Team: Ensure your team has a good type balance to counter various threats. Consider Pokémon with coverage moves.
  • HM Slaves: If you have Pokémon dedicated to HMs, make sure your main battle team doesn't have too many HM moves that aren't useful in battle.
  • Save: Save your game before entering the Elite Four challenge. Once you start, you cannot leave until you either win or lose.

The Pokémon League building has a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart. Use them to prepare thoroughly. Once you're ready, talk to the attendant to begin your challenge!
