Diamond and Pearl Elite Four Guide

This guide show's Pokemon Diamond and Pearl's Elite Four and Champion, Their pokemon, levels movesets and some strategies to take them down. Unlike the previous versions, The Elite Four don’t just have pokemon of their type. The pokemon vary types and attacks. Diamond and Pearl’s Elite Four and Champion are a much more challenging group of trainers then the previous versions.

Aaron: Bug Elite Trainer
Dustox	Heracross	Beautifly	Vespiquen	Drapion
Level: 53	Level: 54	Level: 53	Level: 54	Level: 57
Bug Buzz	Close Combat	Bug Buzz	Attack Order	Aerial Ace
Double Team	Mega Horn	Energy Ball	Defend Order	Cross Poison
Light Screen	Night Slash	Psychic	Heal Order	Ice Fang
Toxic	Stone Edge	Shadow Ball	Power Gem	X Scissor

If you have Infernape, you should have little trouble. Dustox, Heracross, Vespiquen and Beautifly are all weak to Fire. Rock type attacks will do a good bit of damage too. Drapion may not be that easy to take out. It is weak to Ground, but that's all.

Bertha: Ground Elite Trainer
Quagsire	Hippowdon	Sudowoodo	Whiscash	Golem
Level: 55	Level: 56	Level: 57	Level: 55	Level: 59
Dig	Stone Edge	Sucker Punch	Aqua Tail	Brick Break
Double Team	Earthquake	Sandstorm	Zen Headbutt	Sandstorm
Protect	Crunch	Earthquake	Rockslide	Earthquake
Sandstorm	Curse	Hammer Arm	Fissure	Gyro Ball

If you have any Grass type moves, this is the place to use them. All of Bertha's Pokemon are weak to Grass! Hippowdon may cause trouble, but just keep attacking and it will go down.

Flint: Fire Elite Trainer
Rapidash	Infernape	Steelix	Lopunny	Drifblim
Level: 58	Level: 61	Level: 57	Level: 57	Level: 58
Solarbeam	Thunderpunch	Sunny Day	Sunny Day	Baton Pass
Bounce	Mach Punch	Screech	Mirror Coat	Ominous Wind
Flare Blitz	Flare Blitz	Fire Fang	Fire Punch	Will-O-Wisp
Sunny Day	Earthquake	Rock Tomb	Charm	Double Team

Water or Ground types moves are really useful here. Attack Steelix with Special based moves, not physical ones. Steelix has extremely high Defense but just average Sp. Defense.

Lucian: Psychic Elite Trainer
Mr. Mime	Girafarig	Medicham	Alakazam	Bronzong
Level: 59	Level: 59	Level: 60	Level: 60	Level: 63
Thunderbolt	Crunch	Ice Punch	Focus Blast	Calm Mind
Psychic	Double Hit	Fire Punch	Energy Ball	Gyro Ball
Light Screen	Psychic	Thunderpunch	Psychic	Psychic
Reflect	Shadow Ball	Drain Punch	Recover	Earthquake

A Dark-type attack like Crunch can take out all of Lucian's Pokemon (except Bronzong) in 1, or maybe 2 hits. Fire will eventually take out Bronzong.

Cynthia: Pokemon Champion
Spiritomb	Garchomp	Gastrodon	Milotic	Roserade	Lucario
Level: 61	Level: 66	Level: 60	Level: 62	Level: 63	Level: 66
Embargo	Earthquake	Earthquake	Surf	Energy Ball	Earthquake
Dark Pulse	Brick Break	Muddy Water	Ice Beam	Shadow Ball	Dragon Pulse
Silver Wind	Giga Impact	Sludge Bomb	Mirror Coat	Extrasensory	Psychic
Psychic	Dragon Rush	Stone Edge	Aqua Ring	Sludge Bomb	Aura Sphere

This battle is much harder that the previous ones. Spiritomb is somewhat difficult to KO; it has no weakness. Garchomp is deadly, unless you have Ice or Dragon moves. Gastrodon has a huge weakness to Grass. Don't attack Milotic with Special Attack moves, or it will probably Mirror Coat it back to you. Roserade isn't hard to KO, a good Psychic, Fire, Ice, or Flying move will finish it. Lucario falls to Fire, Ground, and Fighting.
