Location
File:Unova Pokemon League Map.png
Location of Pokémon League in Unova.

The Pokémon League of Unova is the location of the region's Elite Four, who may only be challenged after defeating all eight Unova Gym Leaders. It is located on a large hill north of Victory Road and it requires traveling through a mountain to get reach the entrance.

Like in Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, reaching the Pokémon League requires first passing through Unova's Victory Road by presenting all of the Unova badges, and then making it through a large mountain. Once through, the player will make their way though a crevice and reach the League. Housed on a pedestal are four stairways leading to the different Elite Four members: the first door on the left leading to Shauntal, the next door leading to Grimsley, the third door leading to Caitlin and the last door ending on the right leading to Marshal. To the right of the pedestal is a doorway leading to the League's Pokémon Center and Poké Mart. After beating the four members, the player can face the Champion Alder in the temple behind the castle that houses the Elite Four.

Structure

Unlike previous groups of Elite Four, the Unova quartet can be challenged in any order.

Shauntal's room

Once Trainers climb the staircase, the first door on the left will take them to Shauntal's room. It is a giant cylindrical room with a large structure in the middle made out of wooden bookcases. The back of the room is made up of windows portraying a thunderstorm. Upon reaching the edge of the platform, two will-o-wisps will gather the trainer and lift them up around the winding staircase. Once the player makes their way to the top, they will find Shauntal waiting for them.

Battle one (pre-National Pokédex)



Battle two (post-National Pokédex)



Grimsley's room

The second room has Grimsley who awaits for battle. This room is also cylindrical with a large structure in the middle. The room is somewhat of an elegant ballroom, reminiscent of vampire castles and 1800s Eastern European design. This chamber is dominated by shades of deep crimson and black, while torches light the room up and an elaborate chandelier hangs from above the battlefield. Upon reaching the edge of the platform, the player can walk onto a platform which will take the player and lift them up around the winding staircase. Once the player makes their way to the top, they will find Grimsley waiting for them.

Battle one (pre-National Pokédex)



Battle two (post-National Pokédex)



Caitlin's room

The third room is where players challenge Caitlin. This room as well is large and cylindrical, this time with a large empty space in the middle. The back of the room is made up of a void where stars can be seen with meteors periodically showering down. Upon reaching the edge of the platform, psychic energy will engulf the trainer and lift them up to a platform with a canopied bed set on it. Upon landing on the platform, the curtains will open, and Caitlin will get out of her bed and walk toward the player for a battle.

Battle one (pre-National Pokédex)



Battle two (post-National Pokédex)



Marshal's room

The fourth room is where the player can battle Marshal. His room is cylindrical with a large structure in the middle made out of mechanical junk. The back of the room is shadowed down without lighting. Upon reaching the edge of the platform and stepping onto another platform, the platform will lift them up around the winding staircase. Once there, lights will turn on and flash about, and then the player may battle Marshal.

Battle one (pre-National Pokédex)



Battle two (post-National Pokédex)



Portal

After beating all of the other Elite Four members, the portal outside leads to the courtyard, where the statue has moved, and a staircase leading into the ground has appeared. Going down, there is a large cavern. Going north, up two flights of stairs and up another flight of stairs leads to the Champion's room.

Alder's room

Alder's room consists of a simple elevated platform surrounded by rock pillars inside of the temple. Walking up the short stairs allows a battle with Alder.



Hall of Fame

After defeating Alder, he will take the player behind his platform and take a portal to the Hall of Fame, where the player's Poké Balls are placed onto a machine which will register them.

Trivia

  • In pre-National Pokédex battles, the Elite Four will use only four Pokémon. Previous Elite Four groups have used five Pokémon each when they are challenged for the first time.
  • This is the only time where the player doesn't battle the Champion the first time through. Instead, N interrupts the battle causing the player to have to follow N to his castle. Alder will only be battled post-National Pokédex. Despite this, his party only has Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex.
  • This Pokémon League is the only one where none of its members use a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
  • This is the first Pokemon League where there is not a set order, instead there is a large room with all four Elite Four member entrances open.
