POKEMON FIRE RED AND LEAF GREEN WALKTHROUGH
Indigo Plateau
When you arrive at Indigo Plateau, you should start looking at what you will need to fight 5 consecutive battles without the use of a PokeCenter. I suggest you buy quite a few Full Restores, Revives and Full Heals from the PokeMart:
 Ultra Ball | 1200 |
 Great Ball | 600 |
 Full Restore | 3000 |
 Max Potion | 2500 |
 Revive | 1500 |
 Full Heal | 600 |
 Max Repel | 700 |
You will be able to use items in between each battle to restore your party to good health. You will need a strong team to take on the Elites, and one which is well balanced. Save your game before going in and when you are ready advance through to your first opponent...
First things first, every Elite's strongest Pokemon will be holding a Sitrus Berry which recovers 30 HP and they all have Full Restores to use :)
Most of Lorelei's Pokemon are half water, so your best bet is to use Electric attacks. Fighting also works well, but fire is only good against Jynx. Hail is typically her first move. Jynx uses Lovely Kiss to put your Pokemon to sleep, so have the Pokeflute or wake it up. Lapras has Confuse Ray which can be a hinderance. Once you have defeated Lorelei, the door will open up to the next Elite. Use your items to fix up your party before going through. It is your choice if you want to save here or not, but if you do and you can't beat the other Elites, the only way back to Indigo Plateau is to faint all your Pokemon.
Next up is Bruno. Water and Grass type attacks should easily take down his two Onix. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee should be able to be taken down with either Flying or Psychic attacks, but both have high Special Defense. Machamp has good Defense and awesome Attack stats so be careful with it. Its Cross Chop can do some major damage, but again a strong Psychic shouldn't have too much trouble. Once you have beaten Bruno, head through to the next Elite.
This time it's Agatha. Be careful - remember Ground attacks no longer can hit Haunter and Gengar because of their Levitate ability. If you have a fast Psychic then you can take them out all pretty easy because of their double weakness to Psychic, however Ghost attacks will also do decent damage to your Psychic. Gengar also uses Double Team and Toxic which can be a huge hinderance. Try a Pokemon with Roar or Whirlwind. Psychic and Electric attacks should take Golbat out in one hit. Arbok uses Sludge Bomb which can also Poison your Pokemon. Try maybe a Steel type which is resistant. Agatha switches a lot and will use Full Restores. When you have defeated Agatha, head on through to the next Elite.
Finally, it's Lance. This will be the hardest battle. All of his Pokemon have Hyper Beam which can do a lot of damage! However, his Pokemon must then recharge so that gives you an opportunity to attack or revive/recover your Pokemon. Gyarados should be able to be taken down with an Electric attack as it is 4x weak to it. The Dragonairs shouldn't be too hard to take down with an Ice attack. Aerodactyl is very fast! Use a Water or Electric attack, but it will most likely get an attack in first. Dragonite is a real challenge. Safeguard means you wont be able to put any status effect on it. Again, Dragonite is 4x weak to ice but if its health gets too low Lance will use a Full Restore, so try to find a move which can do over half damage in one hit to finish it off. After beating Lance you still have one more battle...the Champion!
Your Rival got there first! Oh well, you'll just have to defeat him to become the new Champion! He has a lot of Full Restores so try to find moves which can take them down from full health or from half health to finish them off. Pidgeot should easily be taken out with a decent Electric attack. It's Sand Attack can become a nightmare if it uses it a few times. Rhydon should be taken down with Grass and Water attacks. With Exeggutor, try a Bug attack or a strong Fire attack. It can cause trouble with Sleep Powder and Giga Drain. Gyarados can also be taken out with an Electric being 4x weak to it. Arcanine can be taken out using a strong Water type, Flamethrower can do some decent damage (This is a very elemental battle!). Alakazam can be a challenge too. If you use a Bug attack again it should be fine, or try using a powerful Physical attack. His starter will be probably the toughest out of all of them. Be wary of Fire Blast/Solar Beam/Hydro Pump. Again use an effective element against it and it should be fine.
Congratulations! You beat the Elite Four! However, there is still a lot more to do, so after watching the credits, select continue and you'll end up back in Pallet Town. Now, you should be looking at going to the Sevii Island. The next thing I will cover in the Walkthrough is the Extra areas. If you have followed this Walkthrough, you will only be able to access one of the Extra areas, the Power Plant. If You want to go there now, click the next button. Otherwise, continue on to the Sevii Islands Walkthrough by either hitting the next button on the next page, or using the menu at the top of this page.
