I am not the sharpest knife in the draw when it comes to playing pokemon but I know how to destroy the elite four and the champion by hitting each pocket monster down in 1 hit each. All you need is: Swampert at level 65 at least Swampert with the three moves: ? Surf ? Earthquake ? Ice beam My other move is dive (suitable for getting around the hoenn map). If you have these moves then all the pokemon swampert is weak against, he is now dominant against! Ice beam is strong against grass pokemon and earthquake is strong against electric pokemon. As well as this it can also take care of fire type pokemon with surf. Elite four Sidney 1. He will first bring out mightyenna, use earthquake to do a 1 hit K.O. 2. He then sends out cacturne, use ice beam because it is weak against it leaving cacturne as dust. 3. Next up is sharpedo which will faint after a second earthquake 4. Sidney will then send absol out, earthquake it to move onto his final pokemon, shiftry. 5. Shiftry is a tough one to take on if not disposed of right away. If you use ice beam he will die straight away. He may use fake out but he will only use it once. Now you have defeated elite four Sidney it is time for the second of the elite four (I?ve forgot her name lol). Elite four what?s her name All you basically need to do in order to beat her is use surf on them all. 1. Surf on dusklops will kill him instantly. 2. Surf on bannette will do the same. 3. Same for sableye. 4. Same for the next bannette. 5. Same for the next dusklops. They are all easy to kill when all you need to do is press A all the time, its now time to move onto elite four Galcia Elite four Glacia Surf and earthquake will be needed for the trainer. 1. Glacia makes glalie enters first. With swampert, use surf, glalie does not stand a chance. 2. Glacia will now send out sealio, use earthquake because it is an ice/water pokemon making it impossible for you to kill him if you used surf or ice beam. 3. She will now send out another sealio, just do the same as what you did to the sealio before 4. Now she will send out another glalie. Surf on it again to get rid of it. 5. Now she is going to send out walrein, just do the same to it as what you did to the 2 sealio before. You have now wiped out her team; now go take on the elite for drake, the ever so tough dragon master. NOT! Elite four Drake Drakes? dragons are very very tough, but their weakness is ICE. 1. First, shelgon will come, ice beam it to get past it. 2. Now, Altaria will jump in, ice beam that to move on. 3. Flygon will be the next pokemon, as for the others, use ice beam. 4. Another Flygon will appear, use it again, ice beam, to make it faint. 5. Finally, the beast that I?m wanting on my team, Salamence, will come in, just kill him with an ice beam to finish off elite four drake You have now defeated the elite four, now it is time to beat the champion, Steven. Steven Steven has some good pokemon that may withstand 1 hit when swampert is at level 65, but that pokemon would only be armaldo if anything. 1. Destroy skarmory with surf, steel pokemon are weak against water moves. 2. The same goes for aggron which is the second pokemon out. 3. Cradilly is the next out, use ice beam to annihilate it. 4. Claydol will then appear, use surf, for some reason this psychic, dark or ghost type pokemon is weak against water. 5. My favourite now is sent into battle, METAGROSS! I although great it is weak against ground type moves, so earthquake it to destroy it. 6. Finally, Armaldo is sent in, it has no weakness to any of swamperts moves in this situation, but can be killed with earthquake because of swamperts brutality if it does not kill armaldo then Steven would probably use full restore because armaldo would be on red. Earthquake it again and for some reason it will kill it instantly second time round. But once you get to level 70, earthquake will kill armaldo in 1. Swampert is the best starting pokemon, you have to admit, it can take on the pokemon league absolutely solo at level 65, and you will be surfing on it straight away when you receive HM surf. You won?t be chasing crappy magikarp and evolving it to a gyarados in order to surf, you will be on swampert the second you get the hidden machine ?surf?
