Top 10 Pokemon Elite Four Members

#9 - Flint

Up next in our search is Flint, the third Elite Four Member of the Sinnoh Region; and we're beginning to question whether or not he should be ranked higher than this. But since we already have him placed here, we may as well roll with it. Anyway, Flint is said to be a Fire Type Master, but you wouldn't know it by his team. He uses many different types of Pokemon, something you would think to see with the Pokemon League Champion. It makes Flint SERIOUSLY tough, and made many trainers have to put some thought into defeating him.

His team is composed of Lopunny, Steelix, Drifblim, Rapidash and, of course, his prized Infernape. All of their levels come in at the high 50s, but his Infernape even breaks into the 60s. Like we said, he's really good. But it's not just the high levels and various typings that caused trainers troubles, but more of how balanced his team was. He had two bulky defensive Pokemon in Driftblim and Steelix, and then three offensive juggernauts in Lopunny, Rapidash and Infernape. He has the perfect balance of power, defense, and speed, and it often left trainers wondering how to defeat him.

And unlike Lorelei and others, Flint actually played a role in his given games (Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Platinum) as well as the Anime Series. In the games, he meets up with you and actually asks for you help with resparking the passionate flame of the Final Sinnoh Gym Leader, who happens to be one of his childhood friends. The two later challenge you to a Double Battle with your Rival (Pokemon Platinum), which was pretty cool to see two sets of friends battling it out. And in the Anime Series, Flint almost defeats Cynthia, THE SINNOH POKEMON LEAGUE CHAMPION. Woah...
