Top 10 Pokemon Elite Four Members

#2 - Lance

Coming up just short of the spot of our Top Elite Four Member is Lance, the only person on this list to actually be the Pokemon League Champion. In all actuality, Lance was the original Pokemon League Champion; however, lost his spot to your Rival Blue. Lance was extremely strong, especially since he WAS just the Champion. But unfortunately, we just see Lance as more of a Champion rather than an Elite Four Trainer. And that's why we just couldn't give his the title of best Elite Four Member.

Like we said, Lance had an AMAZING Pokemon Team for an Elite Four Member. And on top of his high-leveled Pokemon, most of them were Dragon Type Pokemon (some of the toughest Pokemon in existence, especially at the time. His team consisted of some of the best First Generation Pokemon: TWO Dragonair, Aerodactyl, Gyarados and, to top it all off, Dragonite. If that team doesn't strike fear in your heart, their Pokemon Levels in the high-50s and low-60s will. Lance could easily sweep any team, and that usually was the case when trainers had to face him before Blue. If anything, more trainers had more problems with defeating Lance than they did with Blue. Sure, Lance was UBER weak to Ice Type Attacks (besides Gyarados) and Blue had a more balanced team, but Lance's Team just had SO MUCH POWER.

And on top of all of that, Lance ACTUALLY played a role in BOTH the Anime and Game Series. Lance was constantly assisting your trainer in Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal, even though that wasn't as an Elite Four Trainers. But still. And he also played key roles in the Anime Series, being as popular as any other Elite Four Member or Champion. He had everything going for him, but like we said, it occurred mostly as a Pokemon Champion. And that's why we feel Lance will always be considered more a Champion, instead of a lesser trainer.
