What would eb the best pokemon team to fight the E4 besides starter pokemon?

If you *really* want to beat the Elite Four, and you want to get it done fast, I'd suggest going to Sky Pillar and catching Rayquaza. Then just give it an Amulet Coin and beat the poop out of everyone

I tried this once, and it wasn't very fun, so I reset my game and redid it.

You have to put thought into which pokemon will do best in the Elite Four. I wouldn't choose bug Pokémon. They level up quickly, but that's about all they're good for; they're inneffective against about 10 types of Pokémon, and get their butts kicked by about 6 other types (fire, water, ice, dark, psychic, and rock) I'd choose types like Steel, Dragon, Water/Fire/Grass (whichever one you started out with is fine), Dark, Psychic, and Ice.

My team looked somewhat like this when I beat the Elite Four:

Pokémon - level - moveset
-----------------------
Flygon - lv62 - Bite, Crunch, Faint Attack, Dragonbreath
-
Absol - lv61 - Slash, Bite, Thunder, Future Sight
-
Aggron - lv51 - Metal Sound, Iron Tail, Take Down, Headbutt
-
Swampert - lv50 - Muddy Water, Mudshot, Take Down, Bide
-
Linoone - lv47 - Rest, Slash, Covet, Headbutt
------
and then of course I had a level 5 taillow which I used for flying...but that's not important.

All of my fighters are chosen with care. I selected Absol because of its ATTACK stat (almost 400 MAX!). I selected Flygon because of its moveset (Although it's kind of hard to see it now, flygon's going to learn better moves). I selected Aggron because of its defense and HP (Max defense = almost 400, max HP = around 300). I selected Swampert because it's got equal defense and attack, and only fails when attacked by a grass type pokémon (only one grass-type pokémon appears in the entire Elite Four). And last, but certainly not least, I selected Linoone because of it's speed (almost 400 when maxed out).

I believe it is good to have a very diverse set of pokémon; diverse in both battle statistics and type. Once you've got a strong and diverse group (make sure NONE of them share a similar weakness), you'll be ready to kick some Elite Four butt!

cool now I have an idea about what kind of pokemon I should have on my team

using only rayquaza would be extremely boring and kinda cheap lol

I gather from that post you don't need this thread anymore?
