Cynthia
General Info - Undoubtably the strongest of the Elite
Four, Cynthia uses many different types making it impossible to
take her entire team down with one type, asuming you don't have
any super high level Pokemon on your team. You will be switching
a lot in this battle, and you will probably have to use one or
two Revives. A full team of six Pokemon doesn't make this battle
any easier either.
Lv61 (Ghost/Dark) - Spiritomb has high defences and
no weaknesses, which could make it difficult to take down quickly.
It will also use the move Embargo, preventing you from using any
items for five turns. This can really hurt you if you're up against
Spirtomb in the late battle, preventing you from healing.
Lv60 (Grass/Poison) - Fire, Ice, Psychic are your best
choices for taking down Roserade, who has high special attack.
Don't get caught on the wrong end of Energy Ball or Shadow Ball
and you should be fine.
Lv60 (Water/Ground) - Take Gastrodon out just like
you did with Bertha's Quagsire and Wishcash. Water/Ground has
a 4x weakness to Grass and as I've said before will fall to any
good Grass type. If you don't have a Grass type attack however,
Gastrodon can be difficult with it's high defences.
Lv63 (Steel/Fighting) - First of all, Lucario does not
resemble a Steel type in any way, yet it is, and therefor is weak
to Fire, Ground, and Fighting. Steel neutralizes Fighting's weaknesses
so Psychic and Flying won't work. Lucario has high special attack
but non-impressive defence, so survive it's attacks and then KO
it.
Lv63 (Water) - Milotic goes under the classification
of "Bulky Water" and lives up to the name. Water is weak to Grass
and Electric and Milotic will NOT go down easily without those
types. Milotic also has some pretty decent attacking power too
so watch out. Remember to be careful while using Grass types
as Milotic has Ice Beam
Lv66 (Dragon/Ground) - The pièce de résistance of
Cynthia's team is definetly Garchomp with high speed and attack
and could very well end your Elite Four challenge. It has Earthquake
and Dragon Rush, and both are very powerful moves although the
latter does not have the best accuracy. It also has Hyper Beam,
which in reality is one of the worst moves in the game. Hyper
Beam is now a special attack in DP, so use a Pokemon that can
withstand it (most should be able to stay in after one blast)
and destroy Garchomp with an Ice attack or heal one of your Pokemon
on your free turn.
