Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Elite Four Discussion

[Snake Bite]

The ability gluttany allows a pokemon to eat a berry sooner. Any berry, and how much sooner? Usally a pokemon will eat a berry at 1/3rd health so...

[Feathertail]

Could I beat the elite four again??
I've already beat them once with an Empoleon lvl 82 , Staraptor lvl 50 , Roserade lvl 45 , Gastrodon lvl 41 (training) , Lucario lvl 26 and a Diagla lvl 54.

[lemongirl]

I defeated with a Staraphor,Infernape,Lucario,Gengar,Palkia and ,Driftblim(forgot wat was the last pokemon as I restarted the game I guess it was this or was it Gravelar ??? ) Well never since you confirm noe my first five pokemon !

[ayeeepril]

My team was:

Lv. 68/69 Empoleon
Surf
Drill Peck
Earthquake
Steel Wing (Although I replaced it with Return after beating Bertha)

lv. 47 Luxray
Crunch
Thunderbolt
Strength
Thunder Fang

Lv. 37 Pachirisu
Super Fang
Discharge
Swift
Spark

Lv. 44 Buneary
Dizzy Punch
Ice Beam
Jump Kick
Shadow Ball

Lv. 37 Staraptor
Aerial Ace
Fly
Thief
Close Combat

Lv. 29 Roserade
Magical Leaf
Cut
Leech Seed
& something else?


Luxray beat out Aaron easily, and Empoleon took out Bertha and Flint. Luxray, Empoleon, and Pachirisu teamed up on Lucian, and for Cynthia, Empoleon took most of hers, except for...i think Lucario, which Buneary beat. I didn't use Staraptor or Roserade.

[SBoMb]

I really don't remember my team all that well..all i know was i had a torterra, floatzel, drifblim, bronzong, staraptor, and luxray all in the mid 60's.

[07hillmic]

i beat the elite 4 with a
lv. 67 empoleon
lv. 65 palkia
lv. 35 starator
and 3 under lv. 30

[minitrini]

Ok, so I know there's strategies like sweepers and all that, but my basic strategy that's worked for the past games is mainly offense; figure out the types of the elite four's team members and make sure your pokemon have strong moves that would be super effective against those types.

So, I basically just started, and so far I have an Emporeon. I want him to have Surf, Earthquake, Grass Knot [Subject to change depending on your advice; is this a good idea? is emporeon heavy enough to inflict good damage with it?] and flash cannon [also subject to change, is this a good idea too? is steel neccessary for the E4?]. I also want a Honchcrow so that he can have a strong dark attack, and a flying attack.

So what other attacks should Honchcrow learn? Also, what other four pokemon would be good? Keeping in mind I stilll need one that can learn ice beam, and one with a strong fighting move. Also, the pokes should have offensive attacks which will be SE against any of the types in the E4 that I haven't got covered so far.

Help greatly appreciated.

My pokemon were all in the high 40's and low 50's when I first beat them. After most of them leveled up in the Elite four I had these in my team

Lv.50 Lucario
Dragon Pulse
Dark Pulse
Psychic
Aura Sphere

Lv.51 Rampardos
Head Smash
Zen Headbutt
Rock Climb
Stealth Rock

Lv.51 Torterra
Wood Hammer
Curse
Leech Seed


Lv.51 Luxray
Thunder Fang
Roar
Leer
Crunch

Lv.51 Floatzel
Waterfall
Surf
Ice Beam
Crunch

Lv.52 Staraptor
Close Combat
Brave Bird
Aerial Ace
Fly

The Elite four imo opinion were for the most part easy but there were a few obstacles.Rampardos and Staraptor slaughtered Aaron's team with ease. Bertha was destroyed by Floatzel and Torterra. My whole team took down Flint easily. Lucian however was a problem. Luxray and Lucario were able to take down the first few pokemon but then imo th worst part of the elite four came, Bronzong. This thing ko'd many members of my team but Torterra's leech seed and Floatzel assault of Waterfall and Surf took it down. I encountered a similar problem with Spiritomb but it wasn't as bad. Then Garchomp came. It destroyed my Staraptor,Floatzel couldn't outspeed it and fainted,and then it took Luxray down. Lucario ended up beating it with a Critical hit Dragon Pulse after Garchomp missed with Dragon Rush I think it was. Milotic came but wasn't as fearsome as I thought it would be. I leech seeded it and killed it with wood hammer. Gastrodon was easy and gave me time to revive my team. EQ killed Lucario and my revived Staraptor killed Roserade and I won.Having tons or revives and full restores helped alot though Now I only go throught the elite four with really high leveled pokemon from my Emerald Ruby and Leafgreen games. Ripping through the E4 with Rayquaza or Mewtwo may not be challenging but it certainly is quicker when leveling up pokemon to complete my pokedex.

Well, maybe some people like Gust too. It's still a weak attack.
