Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), and [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}). However, the player cannot battle the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating the Elite Four in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Alder]], who uses a variety of types. Caitlin is the same person present in the [[Battle Castle]] who was alongside her butler [[Darach]] in [[Generation IV]].
