I need some help with Ruby GBA. I just scraped past Victory Road with a ton of level 30 Pokemon and Groudon, and the Elite Four is up next. What types do I need and which Pokemon are preferable for beating the Elite Four and then the Champion? My starter was Torchic, btw.
Elite Four Types are Dark, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, and Steel for Champion. Since you have Torchic as your starter, it can already learn fire and fighting moves which already cover Dark, Ice, and half of Steven's team since only half of his team is actually Steel. You would need a Dark or Ghost type to defeat Phoebe. All her Pokemon are weak to ghost with the exeption of Sableye. Or you can go look for a Pokemon that can learn Shadow Ball or any ghost/dark move. Then for Drake, you can go get an Ice Type in Shoal Cave or check with your water types if they can learn Ice Beam. All his Pokemon are weak to Ice or even twice weak to ice(Shelgon-Dragon, Altaria- Dragon and Flying, Flygon-Dragon/Ground, and Salamence- Dragon Flying) he has two of one of them, forgot which. If you have a Water Type that can learn Ice Beam, that's very good since you get to defeat Drake and Steven's non Steel Type include Armaldo(Bug and Rock), Claydol(Psychic and Ground), and Cradily(Grass and Rock). You can teach the Water Type Pokemon to use Surf on Armaldo and Claydol. You can Use Ice Beam on Claydol and Cradily. I suggest getting a Magikarp or Gyarados in Sootopolis. Level them up to maybe to around 60-70 then bring revives and full restores then you should be fine.
