How to Beat the Elite Four on Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: It's time to beat the Elite Four!

   First of all, I recommend to put all your pokemons in level 55-60 because the champion will cause you a lot of pain if you don't do it.
2. 2

   Step 2: Here's the list of the trainers of the Elite Four of Ruby and Sapphire~

   , Shiftry, dark/grass, level
   48.
   
   Cacturne, dark/grass, level
   46.
   
   Sharpedo, dark/water, level
   48.
   
   Absol, dark, level
   49. , Banette, ghost, level
   49.
   
   Sableye, ghost/ dark, level
   50.
   
   Banette, ghost, level
   49.
   
   Dusclops, ghost, level
   51. , Sealeo, ice/water, level
   50.
   
   Sealeo, ice/water, level
   52.
   
   Glalie, ice, level
   52.
   
   Walrein, ice/water, level
   53. , Altaria, dragon/flying, level
   54.
   
   Flygon, dragon/ground, level
   53.
   
   Flygon, dragon/ground, level
   53.
   
   Salamence, dragon/flying, level
   55. , Claydol, ground/psychic, level
   55.
   
   Aggron, steel/rock, level
   56.
   
   Cradily, rock/grass, level
   56.
   
   Armaldo, rock/bug, level
   56.
   
   Metagross, steel/psychic, level
   58. ,, Milotic, water, level
   58.
   
   Tentacruel, water/poison, level
   55.
   
   Ludicolo, water/grass, level
   56.
   
   Gyarados, water/flying, level
   56.
   
   Whiscash, water/ground, level
   56. ,, In the final form (Blaziken), it learns powerful fighting moves such as Sky Uppercut, which will be very useful to beat Sidney (dark type trainer), Glacia (ice type trainer, but IMPORTANT, most of her Pokémon are part water type too, so be careful) and Steven (steel type which is covered by fighting and fire moves). , Attack but, unfortunately, ghost moves are physical in this game (poor Gengar).
   
   The same goes for dark types.
   
   Good Attack but dark moves are special in this game.
   
   So, to beat Phoebe, use all your Pokémon. , Besides dragon moves being special in the game, Salamence can still win.
   
   A water Pokémon will be useful too if it can learn Ice Beam (Starmie will be a great choice). , Apparently, it may not be a great choice but you're wrong if you think that way.
   
   Awesome Special Attack and average Speed will make it one of the best electric types in the game.
   
   Use Magneton against Glacia and Wallace. , If you are having a problem, change into steelix and just use roar on your opponent. , It will resist a lot of Wallace's Pokémon attacks and if it is faster, use it to beat Glacia.
   
   I recommend Sceptile, but if you can't get it, use Ludicolo. ,,,,,,,,, Good Luck beating the Elite Four! ;)
