I've only ever done it in one game, but I thought it was hilarious at the time. I think the elite four in gold suck too. XD Anyway, it was when I was playing though gold again. I was pretty bored with my team and I only liked one of them. I started using only my mixed sweeper and I won! I won every battle with just that one. Eventually I got to victory road. My sweeper was at lvl 70, but the rest were in the 30's and 40's. I was going to train them up too, but I was bored and decided to fight the elite four. I was really surprised when I won. I told myself I was going to train the others after that, but I ended up beating Red and Blue with my sweeper too. I think it was around lvl 100 when I beat them.

I didn't beat them with a legendary. I Used a machoke that I had gotten from an in-game trade.

Oh, well then, that is beyond awesome even if it's the Gold Version Elite 4 & even if it was at Lv. 100 when you beat them. Sadly I don't find them to be that easy(of course I am reffering to Will though as the rest of them are clearly child's play).

It was at lvl 70 when I beat the elite four. XD Will... I believe I used ice punch and cross-chop there. I didn't know about good movesets when I had gold so my machoke had ice punch, submission, cross-chop, and strength. It really makes me wish that Ice punch was a TM in some of the other games so I could try it out again. I think the only problem I did have when I fought was destiny bond.

I did about 8 times in total. I don't really battle the Elite 4 with 1 Pokemon. It's mostly with 2 or 3 Pokemon. And, those 8 times were in Platinum. The Pokemon I used were:

Salamence-Used 4 times(s)
Metagross-Used 1 time(s)
Arceus-Used 1 time(s)
Mewtwo-Used 2 times(s)

Only Pokemon I used. But they did an excellent job on kicking the Elite 4's ***!

Question: Is this about beating the E4 with one Pokemon on your first run-through of the game? If so, I don't remember if I've done that. If it's just in general then yes; it's my main form of training.

I most certainly have. I have beaten the Elitle four in Pokemon Platinum so many times I figured why not try to beat them with 1 pokemon. Who else would I do it with then Slowpoke Lv.70.

I do it for training and dex purposes all the time now. Kyogre.

My most memorable time doing it was when I first played Gold. I started with Chickorita and didn't bother to train any other pokemon aside from Togepi. I stopped training Togetic shortly after it evolved, mainly because it disappointed my expectations. I also avoided trainers like the plague back then, so Meganium was only around level forty. I still carried the Togetic, as well as a level 4 Wooper I had caught back in the beginning of the game but never put away. So what if Woopers are cute? Nyah!

It took me at least six weeks. I stubbornly refused to use any other pokemon than Leaffy (I was 10...) and for a while used the save before starting, turn off if you lose strategy. It didn't work out so well; I still Hate Karen's Umbreon and Houndoom. After so many resets, I had an epiphany: Leafy goes from so and so level to so and so level between Will and Karen; why don't I just let him die until he wins? Leaffy didn't win until he was in his seventies. Totally worth it. I base my E4 strategy off the experience. Coincidentally, I did end up training that Wooper to level 100 aside Leaffy and a Raichu. And I think I still have them!

I never train my pokemon to lv100, the highest I have ever trained a pokemon was my Swampert which is at lv80. I guess my point is, I like to keep around four pokemon, all of which are some what near the same level as the elites.. I need the challenge, blowing through them with a lv100 pokemon, especially a legend is the easy way out and not really an accomplishment in my book.

That said, I don't mean to point anyone out, just my opinion as a trainer. Been playing since Red&Blue, had them both a few days after their release,15 years later and I have never changed my strategy.

Well, see, It's pointless to go through the Elite 4 if your pokémon's already at lvl 100. The first time through a game, I will go through with the team I raised to beat the game, a balanced team. After that, I use one pokémon out front with Amulet Coin to stomp all over the Elite 4 and I'll have midget pokémon with Exp. share equipped and a monster pokémon in the back just in-case something happens to the bigger guy I'm training. It works quite well actually. :3

I tried to do this with my lv-100 raised-from-lv-5-with-rare-candy Swampert in Sapphire. By Drake, I was using struggle.

Post subject:  Re: Have you ever beaten the Elite four with just one pokemon?
I do it all the time - I keep track of how many of each attacks will defeat them and then I go back in and keep doing it until they are 100 (This was mostly done with the first two Gens - never really played the 3rd Gen until now)
My First with Gen 4 was my Empoleon at Lvl 83. He knew Aqua Jet / Bubblebeam / Drill Peck / and Hydro Pump

I don't often use really strong ones either. I usually make a team with type advantages in mind and raise them to lvl 65. After beating the elite four for money a few times, the ones I use start to pull away though. I think I still have a lapras and a dragonite above level 80. That was in leaf green so I had to train them up to beat.. was it red or blue that was the champion? I don't quite remember. He's tough though, so I had to had a good team at good levels.



Lightshayde: Raising a pokemon with rare candy is okay, but you have to EV train after that or they will be be much weaker than other pokemon at the same level.

Post subject:  Re: Have you ever beaten the Elite four with just one pokemon?
lol, personally, phantasms, i would EV train before raising the pokemon to level 100 with rare candies, makes it a whole lot easier. :) anyways, yeah, i do it all the time for training legit, rather than hacking rare candies to level up. not that im flaming rare candies, i just dont use them much. i have used salamence, garchomp, tyranitar, steelix (whoo, that one was a lot of fun) dragonite, charizard, and, just for kicks, with an unevolved, legit EV trained eevee. lol, it was funny to see that in my hall of fame, a level 92 eevee, by itself, no other pokemon. hehe. I've beaten them with other pokemon , too, but i dont want to bore you all with details. haha

Hah! You guys phail.

I beat the HG E4 with the red Gyarados the second it learned Dragon Dance. Only used one Max Potion and one Leppa Berry because I ran out of PP for Waterfall. It was using DD/Waterfall/Strength/Ice Fang. I almost didn't beat Lance, because Gyara was in its low 50's and failed to OHKO one of his Dnite (damn you first Gyara's Intimidate!)

I generally play all Pokemon games with whatever starter I pick by brute force alone. In the original Red I used Charizard. At the time I didn't realize it was a bad idea to give him nothing but fire moves but I still gave Misty's water Pokemon a blistering steam bath (albeit with multiple tries and a lot of cursing and head pounding). I haven't watched a lot of the anime but they seem to have characters that play to this theme. At my age I kinda feel embarrased about remembering the episode where Ash (or someone) got schooled by a trainer who endurance trained a Sandshrew to hold up against water attacks. More recently I saw a fan-subbed episode on youtube depicting a trainer named Kenta / Jimmy using a similar strategy with his Typhlosion in which he disregards any percieved disadvantage and uses sheer brute force. In Soul Silver I haven't hit the Elite 4 yet (diverted trying to do some breeding) and my Typhlosion is already above level 70 since he's the only Pokemon I ever train up (and I always keep him in the Pokewalker during the day). I did have a slight issue with Whitney's Miltank however due to that nasty Attract / Milk Drink combo. I couldn't figure out how to get Attract off so I let him faint and then revived him and hozed Miltank down with napalm putting an end to that short lived infatuation. In Diamond I've solo'd the Elite 4 with Torterra and Lucario (separate runs of course). In Emerald I did it with Blaziken. It isn't always a walk in the park but I am too stubborn to play the game any other way.
