Indigo Plateau

Indigo Plateau

The front room doubles as a Pokémon Center and Poké Mart, allowing Trainers to prepare themselves and their Pokémon for the gauntlet ahead. While it is possible to use items and save the game between battles, Red will not be permitted to return to the Pokémon Center unless he is defeated. In order to be well-prepared, his team should be trained to level 60 to be on equal footing with the Champion, and should include Electric-, Water-, Psychic-, and Ice-type Pokémon. Use TMs and HMs to teach moves like Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Surf to round out the offense, and buy as many Full Restores and Revives as possible.

Take the hallway past the Poké Mart counter, and step into the first room.

Elite Four

Battle 1: Lorelei

Lorelei's room

The first member of the Elite Four is Lorelei, a master Ice-type Trainer. Three of her five Pokémon are Water/Ice types, so be wary of type-matchups. Electric and Grass attacks deal serious damage to all but her Jynx, a Ice/Psychic Pokémon that is more afraid of Fire- or Dark-type moves. Zapdos and Moltres are great candidates to use against Lorelei; Zapdos can learn the TM moves Thunderbolt and Shock Wave, while Moltres can learn Flamethrower on level 49. Keep in mind that their secondary Flying type makes Zapdos vulnerable to Ice moves, while Moltres' Fire type eliminates its weakness.

Defeating Lorelei opens the door to the second room.

Battle 2: Bruno

Bruno's room

The second member of the Elite Four is Bruno, a master Fighting-type Trainer. That being said, only three of his five Pokémon actually belong to the Fighting type. Psychic- and Flying-type moves are best against his Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, and Machamp, but avoid using Flying Pokémon, as Hitmonchan and Machamp can fight back with Rock Tomb. A strong Water Pokémon can flood the battlefield with Surf, leaving his two Onix waterlogged. For reinforcements, consider bringing a Water/Psychic Pokémon like Slowbro or Starmie.

Defeating Bruno opens the door to the third room.

Battle 3: Agatha

Agatha's room

The third member of the Elite Four is Agatha, a master Ghost-type Trainer. Psychic-type moves deal serious damage to all five of her Pokémon, while Ghost- and Dark-type moves are also effective against her ghosts. Conversely, these spirits are immune to Normal- and Fighting-type moves under normal conditions. Ground attacks work well on Arbok, while Golbat falls to Ice and Electric moves. End the battle quickly, or risk falling victim to her Confusion- and Sleep-inducing strategy.
