My Perfect Elite Four 

I really like how you go in expecting an actual team critisism and then mikey just starts with island management and how good the tourism would be

Petition for the “Pokémon Types: Then vs. Now” series to come back

Did you know that if the 18 Pokémon types, only FOUR of them have never been represented in an Elite Four? Those types are Grass, Electric, Normal, and Fairy. Maybe a cool idea to try (before gen 10 is upon us) is to try and make an elite four with those four types?

I like how you approached this from not only a "teak comp" perspective, but also social and economic perspective in terms of what each elite four candidate would bring to the island (acknowledging how such positions probably carry a good amount of social influence - which probably also plays a factor into these types of negotiations).

Agatha’s shockingly poison team is a part of a long running theory of mine that she actually used to run the Fuschia city gym. It seems weird to me that they would have a badge called the Soul Badge when they’re a poison gym focused on Pokémon like Muk and Weezing. But if the ace of the gym was Gengar? Then yeah it would make more sense.

This goes to show just how creative Mikey is. He could've just summed up the 4 strongest elite 4 members and called it a day, but instead he created a whole new imaginary region and took into account the elite 4 members' personal preferences and potential contributions to the region. This was very fun to watch! Get this man to 2 million subs!!!

An Elite Four of weather specialists would be kinda cool. I guess snow only really helps ice types, but Sun, Rain and Sand have some versatility to them in terms of type variation and stragegies.

I agree with your picks. Steel, electric, water is a great trio that creates a ton of difficult team building decisions because water ruins 2/3 steel weaknesses, and electrics only weakness. So you need to be careful with those team choices to be able to deal with those diverse type charts.

So Mikey's Elite Four consists of: - Someone who can make the country more attractive to tourists - Someone who will bring in tourists - Someone who will bring in tourists - Love interest

I really want Mikey to turn this into a series where he continues to develop this new region

Gladion from gen 7 would definitely be my pick. If he switches up his team a bit, his Silvally and Porygon Z could make him an excellent normal type specialist.

8:24 Watching Wikstrom kick Malva in the face nearly killed me.😂 Also if we aren't limiting the selection pool to only include Elite Four members (current and/or former) and Gym Leaders then I would go with Sabrina, Clemont (with the stipulation he add pokemon to his team), Cissy (from the Orange Island arc in the anime), and Riley.

My 6 year old daughter, who has recently fell in love with Pokémon absolutely loves you (as well as Grunty Boy) and your channel. You do such a great job!

You know, a Pokemon management sim where you play the role of the league president and have to build the region from the ground up would be an interesting spin off

I find it pretty funny how he completely rejects Malva and Poppy due to their situations without even looking at their teams lol

My picks (before watching the video) Elisa: since this hypothetical region is small, and tourism is a big goal in mind, Elisa is probably the quintessential pick for tourism. Larry: all be honest bro just needs a raise. Also considering how much he seems to hate working with Geeta, he would probably not hesitate to move. Phoebe: Ghost types are cool. I like the Hoenn region. Sabrina: she just feels like an elite four trainer and psychic types are cool I guess

Molayne - The quiet but chill engineer. Karen - The team mom. Siebold - Gordon Ramsay. Iono - The idiot sandwich.

I feel like Volkner should at least be a candidate for this, he is very open about not finding trainers that challenge him, so moving to a new region and stepping up from being a gym leader to an elite four member would defiantly be something he would be interested in. I also believe he designed the sunny shore tower and had solar panels installed all over the city, somebody like that would defiantly be a big asset to a new growing region

Let's assume any new member would get a team update if for no other reason that many species werent around when they fist appeared, and are also given natures, items and abilities suitable for the Elite Four. 1. Janine- She has proven herself capable as a gym leader and would bring prestige that comes with her family while giving her a chance to step out of Koga's shadow and build her own legacy. Nidoqueen, Toxtricity, (new regional Pokemon), G.Weezing, Venomoth, Crobat. 2. Skyla- Already known to fly to other regions and wants to go places. Would be a huge asset flying people and cargo to and from the region as a day job. A few years of maturing along with the responsibility of being one of the Four would make her formidable. Pidgeot, Togekiss, Corviknight, (new regional pokemon, especially if psychic) Swanna, M Aerodactyl. 3. Blain- Brings a great deal of experience to the league and region as a whole. With his gym gone and having never been rebuilt a new chance may tempt him. Also as a former researcher any new and interesting fire types would help to lure him away. Rapidash, Chandelure, Camerupt, (new regional pokemon, possibly part electric or fairy), Armarouge, Magmortar. 4. Karen- Brings more experience and legitimacy while providing a very strong backstop. Weavie, Honchkrow, Umbreon, Kingambit, Tyranitar, M. Houndoom

My elite four would be: 1. Kahili - she can have a very versatile team and I can probably negotiate with the golf thing 2. Volkner - He's bored because no one is strong enough to challenge him. Why not I make him an Elite four then? 3. Lucian - No flaws 4. Siebold - Dragon Dancing Gyarados? Sign me up. Just give him Mega Blastoise and he's good.

On another note regarding Larry, he only uses flying types because Geeta kinda forced him to. He recognizes after you battle him in the elite 4 that there may be some merit in using a type other than the normal type he prefers. Take him away from Geeta, and he's fairly likely to default back to using normal types unless pressured to do otherwise.

I would love if you just kept building your region. You could make a whole series about it. Gym leaders could be next. You could talk about the Professor and starter Pokémon of the region, the evil team, the new gimmick, discuss the geography and theme. I’d definitely watch all of it. Can we bump this please? Who’s with me?!

What I've learned from this video Molayne = Hank Green Siebold = Gordon Ramsay

You can also get Larry to your region. Offer him the position that Rika has, being the person who interviews you for the league.

I really like this Elite Four in the sense that it sounds like you would naturally encounter them throughout the region while going around. Randomly finding Molayne working on tech stuff. Iono livestreaming and Raihan taking pictures for their subscribers while traveling around the region. And Karen popping around the place kinda like Rika did in SV

Good call on Iono. She may be a middle-level gym leader, but her team is already infamous as a nuzlocke-killer, considering she's Electric but half her team is immune to Ground (and one having no weaknesses at all).

Putting aside the rules for bringing awareness to the region (mostly), here's my E4. Aaron from DP. As some who has used a Beautifly and Vivilion for the whole game (all the way to becoming Champion), I can respect him for using a Beautifly and Dustox (Don't sleep on parattraction, my name for my favorite status combo. Paralysis and attraction). Next would be Avery from Shield (yes, I know Mikey said he wouldn't consider rivals, but I'm considering them!). Not only is he a good psychic specialist, but I'm sure he would jump at the chance to prove himself to his family. Next would be Colress from B2W2. While not a E4 or Gym Leader, he is a powerful trainer that specializes in steel types. Strong enough to be able to access the Alola Battle Tree. And while he was a part of Team Plasma, he didn't necessarily agree with their ambitions. His main goal is researching how to bring out a pokemon's true potential. And by battling many trainers, he may get closer to his goal. And finally, Shauntal from BW. He ghost team is pretty brutal if you're not prepared. Plus, I bet she could get more inspiration for her books in a new region.

My Elite Four would be Whitney, Iono, Karen and Sebrina.

In Glacia's defense, her parents named her Glacia. At that point, it feels like you have no choice but to specialise in Ice types.

Mikey hit the nail on the head with the choices to hire. Best people to hire would be those that could help out the region by bringing people in. Streamers and influencers have a ton of power and could be able to do that.

Your videos keep appearing to me randomly every now and then, even after I watched them when you uploaded them. Back then I didn't have an Elite Four in mind, but todayI got around thinking about it. After a while, I decided for hiring 4 Gym Leaders, two of them are the same you hired: Iono and Raihan, giving them the 2nd and 3rd spots. Tweaking the team of the first one, I'd pick (and not meaning to give a jab at you)... Whitney. A Normal-type specialist properly equipped could be a blast, and her being young and, at the time of hiring her, more mature than before (in other words, not a sore loser anymore), I think she could be a great asset to my E4 team. Norman I doubt would want to be away from his family, and Larry... as much as I want to hire him just to free him from work excess, I want Whitney to grow her potential, and I respect her for the hard times she gaves us back in the day. With a Normal-type specialist in the E4, you'd need to have a Fighting-type specialist, so I wanted to counter that with a Psychic-type specialist. And just for the reasons I picked Whitney (respect), I'd choose Sabrina as my last E4 member. Rather than picking current E4 members, I want to promote cool and strong Gym leaders, and Sabrina was just massive. Iono and Raihan not only I'd pick them for being cool and famous, but in my E4 EVERY member would be allowed to use a gimmick. Iono would be able to Terastalize, so I want her to pick a good Levitate Pokémon as her Ace. Raihan would be able to Dinamax, and with the new Duradalon evo, he would be no joke (also, I want him as a Sandstorm specialist). I was imagining Whitney with no gimmicks since she is Normal-type, but I see no problems giving her Z-Move for her Ace as she would just... dance. And of course... Mega Alakazam.

In the Texona region the Elite 4 are specialists in Ground, Rock, Steel, and Dragon, with Bede being the Champion.

I like how in this unknown region Mikey takes into fact how each elite four member would help out in the region

Id love a pt 2 to this where you perfect their teams, plan your league and go over the champion (you)’s team!

Good picks. Karen is a favorite of mine as well, love her speech about strong Pokémon and weak Pokémon. I would pick Candice (I like her personality, it’s said she studies a lot to overcome fighting type weakness), Olympia (cool aesthetic, never got to shine, psychic type coverage, and she sees the future), Gordie (rock type, I think we would have a lot in common, and he also wants to do his own thing/make a name for himself), and Atticus (dedicated, if weird, but I don’t mind weird; the only member of Team Star that I REALLY struggled with other than Eri). And then I would specialize in Ground. I would also consider Brock (good choice, but I think I’d vibe with Gordie better), Erika (strong but busy), Wattson (fun but busy), Marlon (strong but not serious enough), Milo (laid back but probably busy farming), Katy (wants to step up, probably not ready), Tyme (talented, but she’s busy; plus I have Gordie), Rika (I like her, but I want to specialize in ground lol)

With Kahili's golf thing, maybe you can help her make golf courses for the region. Either that or help her dad expand his hotel to other regions

I love the way you make lore for these videos, and do not just explain the 4 best trainers for no reason.

Imagine how wholesome a friendship Iono and Molayne could develop. Her, with her slang and speaking habits, him not understanding a word she’s saying, but being happy to talk to her regardless. Especially because he’d be able to help with tech and she’d be able to help with presenting himself.

I am so happy Siebold was considered in the final four. Not only is Kalos my favorite region (because it was the first real game I played) but when I was younger (and a Pokémon noob) when I got to the elite four, I couldn’t get past Siebold and I had to ask/use my step-brother to get through him (yes, it was embarrassing 😅). So seeing him being considered if Raihan declined makes me so unbelievably happy

I would have to go with Acerola (alola), Winona (hoenn), Volkner (Sinnoh), and Drayden (unova). These are some that have always left a lasting impression on me in general over the years

I am shocked Jasmine was not even mentioned. If she is allowed to use her b2w2 post game team, rematch teams in hgss or a combination of them then she is very diverse (ferrothorn, empoleon, lucario, magnezone, metagross, skarmory, steelix, etc). She has even proven she is willing to travel to other regions to help.

karen using tyranitar seems unlikely since her whole thing is "battling with the pokemon you love" between her original and rematch teams, she had every opportunity to have tyranitar and she still didn't

From the start of the video up to 0:55, that is like the perfect DND campaign run down and best way to start a campaign off

Iona, Phoebe, Karen and Caitlin. All powerful trainers and are on the younger side so they'd probably want to travel. Plus, an elite four team of powerful ladies? I think that's the kind of artimus energy a new region needs.

I think that it's really fun that Mikey doesn't just consider the trainers and their Pokemon , but also what they bring to the table outside of battle. It's a fun thing to think about.

“Send her to the daycare with her giant metal elephant” Mikey’s gone too far with this one

If I were to make my own Elite 4 I think I’d hire: Nessa- You yourself said the Water Type is very diverse and Nessa is my favourite Water Type specialist Drasna- If you fill out her team she can be a threat. And also while I don’t know if this counts as Evidence but she’s my current best Sync Pair in Masters is her with Dragalge Winona- She’s a pretty strong specialist and like Nessa her type is very diverse so her team would need some planning to take down Valerie- Fairy Type is really good and also that hypothetical team you have her as the last Gym Leader I want her to have so she can be a real threat

Karen, Lucian, Marshal, and Drake. (Shauntal and Molayne were close too.) Each would have their regional theme play upon their respective battle. Additionally, a Challenge mode is optional at the start of the game, this would give major NPCs held items, strategies, and a wide variety of Pokemon to choose from. The player would be allowed to choose a starter from any region. This would also include the options of a Riolu, an Eevee, and a Pikachu.

Do Gym Leaders next, I can't wait to see the reaction about whether to hire Giovanni, Whitney and Clair just to savagely reject them.

I'd also think about Nemona. She's not a main champion, because "Champ" is more of a title in Paldea and she seems like she would be perfect. She clearly wants to continue battling as a profession, she's young and adventurous, so she might be excited to get the opportunity to go to a new region. I think she is the perfect candidate for a new pokemon league, after she graduates of course.

If I were looking to hire only the strongest elite 4 members possible, I guess it would be something like : - Marshal (or maybe Larry ? not too sure with this one) - Molayne - Lucian - either Raihan or another strong dragon specialist like Drake for example.

My Elite Four Team hirings (in unova order, meaning how you compete against them is your choice): - Drake (Hoenn, Dragon) - Lucian (Sinnoh, Psychic) - Shantel (Unova, Ghost) - Koga (Kanto/Johto, Poison) Hirings for non Elite Four positions: - Glaicia (obvious Marketing reasons) - Siebold (Hospitality/Restaurant operations) - Clay (Operations Manager) - Karen (Advertising, Fashion???) - Bruno (Security 1) - Marshall (Security 2) - Aaron (Outdoor Landscaping)

Now you need to expand this region even more by now doing the 8 gyms

7:41 including her ability to control her dangerous psychic powers. Her lack of mastery of them was *why* she’s spoiled: she needed to be taken care of.

This would be a really cool ROM Hack sort of like My Gym And Me, Helping out your reigon and choosing which Elite 4 members to help around the reigon and fighting trainers that try to become the champion (like in the Alola games)

Mine would be a water, psychic, steel and dragon specialists in that order. All four types are offensively and defensively versatile. Also, i like old sailor man drake. He's the first elite 4 member who i think legitly deserves to be one.

Its been like 13 years since this guy joined youtube and he still doesn't manage to make us bored.

Lorelei: pretends to specialize in a bad type but uses Water-types Bruno: no brains, all brawn Lance: too expensive Agatha: retired/dead Sidney: *failed the vibe check*

I would love for the Elite Four to start having 2 type specialties to differentiate them a bit more from Gym Leaders. It was unintentionally like that in Gen 1 due to a limited pool of each type. Lorelei: Ice/Water, Bruno: Fighting/Rock, Agatha: Ghost/Poison and Lance Dragon/Flying.

A fun hypothetical Elite Four that could be put together is one based around the 4 types that haven’t been represented by E4 members yet,those being Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy. I think my picks for this group would personally be: -Erika, since she’s tied with Ramos for the highest-ranked Grass gym leader, and is much younger than him, so would be more likely to be willing to move. -Elesa, because she’s the 2nd-highest ranked Electric gym leader after Volkner, who’s outright said he wants to stay a gym leader and not become an E4 member. Plus being a famous model would be good for the region and league’s publicity. -Valerie, since the other Fairy-type specialists (Mina, Bede, and Ortega) all seem like they probably wouldn’t want to move from their current regions for story reasons, whereas Valerie doesn’t really have any obligations to stay in Kalos. Plus being a big fashion designer would not only bring the region and league more publicity, but synergize really well with Elesa. -And finally, Larry; while it’d be cool to see Norman or Cheren take on the role of an Elite Four member, Larry seems the most likely to want to move, since being just an E4 member in the type he wants to specialize in is just a better gig than what he has in Paldea. Wouldn’t be the strongest batch of trainers per se, but the novelty alone of representing types no other E4 does would probably still get them a lot of attention.

As a professional recruiter and a full-time pokemon fan I approve of these hirings

Love the concept of drafting a fantasy elite four from all the regions! Should do a fantasy lineup of all 8 gym leaders too!

My elite four: Klara - The poison knuckle sandwich Rika - The worlds professional interviewer Blue (if I persuade him) - Ex champion of the Kanto region Raihan - The weather man and social media man (If I don’t get Blue to be in my elite four) Wikstrom (I don’t know if I spelled his name right.) - I can give him access to more steel types for a more diverse steel type team, ex: Bisharp, Copperajah, and maybe Iron Valiant, if I can ask Geeta for one.

Mike:"im not going to consider acerola because she's a child" Also Mike" I think phobe is a good choice because she is young "

Imagine how strong Aaron must be, managing to become an Elite Four member with that team.

Just want to say I love the immersion of this one. Not just "cherry pick elite four members make strong team for fight" this was very in depth it was like watching a chess GM

For Bruno ...onix is great flying coverage and a cameo to a possibility he's the trainer with the nidoreno and onix vs gengar in the very first episode we meet ash on the telly in the background...give my guy a nidoking with that fighting squad

13:50 plus as a bonus now that we have it announced he could evolve it to archduruladon if he removes the gmax

I would easily pick Clay as one. Over the Unova gen games he helped transform Driftveil City into a thriving battling hub, and obviously cares about the wellbeing of the people who work for him, though his rough exterior may offput a few people. He might be interested in expanding his line of buisness elsewhere after the huge success in Unova as well. His PWT line up isn’t awful either, and if he can get a Hippowdon or Sandaconda in that lineup of his, that Excadrill would be a supreme threat to challengers.

I can already imagine the rivalry between Raihan and Iono😂

I think it's funny that Ghost is a really strong type of which you select two candidates but end up choosing neither

If you went with Siebold you could say he also uses a Mega Blastoise. While not shown in the game, the anime and maybe the manga, have shown that is his true ace. So you certainly got someone strong ready~. I love these picks.

siebold making it into a final running was very shocking, but a pleasant sight, kalos’s elite four is very rarely paid attention to!

My headcanon for onix is that it's literally just a giant punching bag to train his fighting types.

My personal elite 4. 1st - Molane (Same reasons as Mikey) 2nd - Iono (Very popular and would bring in a lot of tourists. Also, she would want to do it!) 3rd - Raihan (That sandstorm strategy is too good to pass up. And, he could train in my region to beat Leon!) Final - Drake (My favourite option. Very strong, willing to do it because he sails and could use a lot of pseudo legendaries!)

Rewatching these Elite 4 videos makes me realize how crazy GameFreak has been. Agatha, Lance and Flint barely work with their own type mostly because of the Dex and limited Pokémon of the time. And then you got Elite 4s who have a copy and paste team like Phoebe and Glacia because of that limited type while still working with their type. I’m glad we have far better teams years later because of expanded types

11:11 - I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't understand how she's in the Elite Four. And the scary thing is this: unless she was given it by somebody, she would have had to have beaten a lot of other people. And have you seen the sorts of teams the youngsters/preschoolers use? Imagine actually being beaten by them.

id have volkner in mine. 1. he invented sunnyshores walking solar panels and manages the powegrid and is a smart inventor 2. he actively is an avid battler and he got depressed and bored for things being too easy (plus with an influx of atrong trainers he wont cause blackouts) 3. he mentions of openly challenging the sinnoh league cementing his strength 4. electric has only 1 weakness. the others are cheren, drayden and siebold.

Great video and found it fun. Only thing i would of liked is seeing how you would of enhanced their teams to a full team of six for their new positions as elite four.

I still believe that Poppy became an elite 4 member because Hassle recommended her and Geeta allowed it because of a shortage of qualified trainers for the league (I do think Larry became a gym leader and elite 4 member because Geeta didn’t have enough hires to fill those positions)

Volkner would be a great candidate, since he rivals with Flint (which means he is really close to elite four level) and its constantly bored by the lack of challenge in Sinnoh, so he would love to be part of an Elite 4 group

I actually looked more at trainers who scale well to their region’s champion, so for me it would be Juan as he trained Wallace, Draden since he trained Iris and is an educator, Volkner since he scales to Flint and is possibly stronger given that no one could challenge him, also because he can help with construction/electrical systems like he did with sunnyshore, and Marnie since she scales to Raihan’s gym team, and Hop before he got the legendary, plus team yell would likely follow her, giving me a good work force right off the bat

Love how the Unova E4 are strong candidates 💪

Jasmine - With a mega steelix and steel is a good type Bruno - Good type specialty but will have to change his team Phoebe - With a team swap Bertha - Good team and good type

Hot take: a trainer doesn’t need to use an entire team of their type to be considered a type specialist. They just need to have half a team of the type and other Pokémon that support them. Great examples of this are the steel-master Stephen and Dragon-master Raihan.

Now this is actually a really interesting idea taken to a pretty interesting extent, I really like how it wasn’t just a “Which guys are strongest” and you also had to consider population growth, tourism, and challenger traffic

For my Elite 4, my members & order would be: 1) Caitlin, 2) Larry, 3) Shauntal, 4) Drake {Psychic, Normal/Flying, Ghost, Dragon} - I thought the order for the Four should start with Caitlin as she's the youngest & spent time from DP to BW to hone her battle skills for half her life so she knows what young challengers will be like. And for Larry's sake as an E4, maybe I'll let him operate as a Normal/Flying user (there's more than enough for that type combo; along with his Staraptor & Braviary). And Ghosts & Dragons are the more troublesome types to deal with (Shauntal's team is the more diverse with no repeaters & better coverage, Drake & Mega Salamence is a great final challenge before fighting a champion)

A year late but I agree on Molayne. He has a fierce team and you’re right on how useful he would be for a developing region. Second I would choose Marshall. I don’t know Iono since I haven’t played the newer games, but I do know Marshall and while he doesn’t have dual typings, he does cover his weaknesses well. Given access to this new regions fighting types? He could develop an even more ferocious team and really test trainers. Third, I agree with Karen. Dark type has come a long way since Gen 2, and I’d love to see her rocking a dark type team with newer mons Fourth for me would be Koga. He uses a lot of bugs because that’s what he had available in his generation. I believe a more modern Koga team would be running things like Salazle, Alolan muk, Crobat, or any number of new and dangerous poison types.

Definitely agree with Iono. I was pleasantly surprised with how strong her rematch team was and definitely agree she has the makings of a great elite 4 member

Siebold also has a mega blastoise in the anime, so that's a plus.(and you're gonna need it because there's no way you're getting Raihan)

So, with the assumption of a more rural region just setting up a new Pokémon League, that means the region is much more steeped in tradition and lore. A strong selling point that could draw in people with the right marketing, that said, it’s unlikely an Elite Four Member of an already established Region would switch even with comparable pay. The only exception I can think of is Larry and that’s just because he would be getting comparable pay with vastly less work. That being said, I would mostly be recruiting from Gym Leaders and notable Pokémon Trainers. My Elite Four would be Larry the Flying Type Specialist, Iono the Electric Type Specialist, Sabrina the Psychic Type Specialist, and Bea the Fighting Type Specialist. I myself would be a Steel Type Specialist with an Ace in Metagross. As for the rest of my Pokémon Team, it would be Kingambit, Lucario, Scizor, Magnezone, and Empoleon. It’s not the ideal team match up, but it has a good amount of power and diversity and are some of my favorite Pokémon.

You should’ve thought of piers. During that round of battles where you fight nessa and raihan, it was stated that piers did give raihan a tough time even though he doesn’t use dynamax. Plus since Marnie is taking over as gym leader, he might be available. And he is popular with his music

I am a little upset that Clair didn't make the consideration, yet another powerful dragon trainer, I think she could do well in a region where she isn't thought of as a second rate Lance.

I came into this with 5 people in mind. I can NOT believe how Mikey got those exact 5. Even seibold being a sub. Truly the best picks

i would do this elite four. Bertha - Ground type is an instresting type, and in all seven generations, Bertha stands out as the sole ground-type specialist in the Elite Four. Despite her team’s vulnerability to grass, water, and ice types, she compensates with sturdy Pokémon like Rhyperior and Gliscor. Bertha’s Hippowdon can be particularly annoying with its Yawn move, leading to powerful ground-type Earthquakes Malva - OK, she isn't evil anymore plus, "THE PAST IS IN THE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTTTTTTTTTTTT!" -Elsa once said. Pheobe - Phoebe’s team includes powerful Pokémon like Dusclops and Banette. Her Sableye can be tricky to handle due to its immunity to Normal and Fighting moves, making her battles quite challenging Marshal - boasts a team with Pokémon like Conkeldurr and Mienshao. His strategy revolves around high-speed, hard-hitting fighters, making him a formidable opponent. That's my elite four.

15:26 plus Peony was champion at one time before Rose took over as the chairman

Mad respect for your stance on Alola

There's a lot of good choices in the Galar region. Gordie is considered among experts in the field to be a potential future Galar champion, has a lot of style and a huge fanbase. Bea (as shown in twilight wings) is a strong trainer that likes to go to train to different places in order to become stronger and takes her role very seriously. Nessa is a very famous model that would probably be okay with traveling to other parts of the world. Klara is strong, wants to improve her career as an idol, is part of the Galarian star tournament, was training under a former champion, was already aiming to be a gym leader so it would be easy to convince her to take an elite four role. Avery comes from a well known family of psychics, also trained under a former champion, is also part of the Galarian star tournament and would have no problem deciding if he wants to take an elite four role.

Mine has a bit of a theme and i would have a back up elite 4 member incase one goes on holiday: main elite 4 would be kiawe mallow Sophocles and lana with lillie at an extra for just in case (lillie would be an ice type specialist)and the region would be near alola so they could still use z moves
