Elite 4 Lance

Gyarados
Lv. 68
Ability: Intimidate
Type: Water/Flying
Exp: 3116
Attacks: Hyper Beam, Earthquake, Dragon Dance, Thunder Wave

Gyarados employs a predictable strategy, starting with Intimidate to weaken your attacks, followed by Thunder Wave for paralysis. Dragon Dance enhances Gyarados's stats, leading to a powerful Hyper Beam. Thunderbolt proves effective against this setup.

Aerodactyl
Lv. 70
Ability: Rock Head
Type: Rock/Flying
Exp: 3030
Attacks: Aerial Ace, Earthquake, Ancientpower, Hyper Beam

Aerodactyl's improved moveset includes the accurate Aerial Ace and Thunderbolt to counter Electric types. With coverage against a range of types, it poses a formidable challenge. However, lacking a move effective against Water types makes it vulnerable. A couple of Surfs can secure victory.

Dragonite
Lv. 66
Ability: Inner Focus
Type: Dragon/Flying
Exp: 3080
Attacks: Hyper Beam, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Flamethrower

Dragonite, Lance's powerhouse, has a peculiar moveset. Ice Beam easily counters it, and Flamethrower poses a threat to Ice-type Pokémon. Despite its level, Dragonite is not overly challenging.

Dragonite
Lv. 72
Ability: Inner Focus
Type: Dragon/Flying
Exp: 3362
Attacks: Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Outrage

Similar to the previous Dragonite but at a higher level, it still relies on Thunderbolt to counter Water types for its Ice Beam move. Outrage remains lackluster, and Hyper Beam is its primary damaging move. Not much of a challenge, especially if you expected difficulty.

Kingdra
Lv. 66
Ability: Swift Swim
Type: Water/Dragon
Exp: 2924
Attacks: Hyper Beam, Surf, Ice Beam, Dragon Dance

Lance replaces Dragonair with Kingdra, a Water/Dragon type resistant to many attacks. However, it is weak to Dragon-type moves. Dragon Dance boosts Kingdra's speed, ensuring it strikes first with Hyper Beam or Surf. Use your strongest attacks to take it down.

Once Lance is defeated, proceed through the door to face Champion Gary.
