ELITE FOUR BATTLE #1: SIDNEY
Trainer's Pokémon Type: Dark
Recommended: Fighting, Bug, Fire, Ice, Electric (for the mix types)
Not Recommended: Ghost, Psychic

Mightyena, Level 46 (Dark)
Shiftry, Level 48 (Grass/Dark)
Cacturne, Level 46 (Grass/Dark)
Crawdaunt, Level 48 (Water/Dark)
Absol, Level 49 (Dark)

This match should be an easy pushover. Sidney uses Dark, but the majority of its team are two-type Pokémon, putting the battle highly in your favor.

Mightyena is still a pushover with crappy stats. A good Fighting or Bug attack can dispose of it quickly. Its best attack is Crunch, but it doesn't have a good enough Special Attack to take advantage of it. Also watch out for Double Edge, as it can dish out the beatings very quickly. Be sure you have a Pokémon who is high powered on Defense.

Shiftry, being Grass, adds a whole new variety of options. You can use Fire, Ice, or Bug for 4x damage. It has Double Team and Swagger, two annoying moves, but with the lack of strong attacks that deal damage, you can finish him off fine.

Cacturne is also another pushover. It has the same weaknesses as Shiftry, so remember that. But with Leech Seed, it can be an annoying opponent, since Leech Seed takes a part of your health and uses it to restore Cacturne's health. Also, Needle Arm and Faint Attack are solid attacks, so you'll need to be quick.

Crawdaunt is also an easy Pokémon. Being Water/Dark, you can use Electric, Grass, Bug, and Fighting to help you out. Its best attack is Surf, but it can do a good amount of damage with a Swords Dance and Facade combo. But since its stats are mediocre, fighting him shouldn't be a problem.

Absol will be your toughest opponent. It's pure Dark, and it has a nasty Attack stat. Its set of moves is Aerial Ace, Rock Slide, Swords Dance, and Slash, giving it a devastating set of moves. You'll need to hurry up in finishing it off, so it's highly recommended you use a Rock Pokémon to get the resistance out of Slash and Aerial Ace; otherwise, use a Fighting or Bug to mow it down.

After you finish Sidney, you'll go on to face the next trainer, which is considerably tougher.
