Ranking EVERY Elite 4 Weakest to Strongest 

Not gonna lie, the B2W2 elite 4 rematches in challenge mode were so freaking awesome.

Unova elite four on challenge mode is definitely the strongest.

Top 10 strongest pokemon according to the pokedex

Me sees Unova isn’t getting trashed on: it’s been 3,000 years

If a MysticUmbreon video does not say “We’ve got shirts on sales” and “If you like anime, subscribe to MysticSage”, then it’s fake

The elite four is so memorable in my opinion fighting them is a great part of pokemon

Just realised that grass, electric and fairy are the only types not to have elite four trainers specialising in those types

It's great to see unova getting some love.

"Drake without Faitytype could be a hard one." *laughs in icebeam

Marshal actually was the one who gave me most trouble in Unova.

Unova definitely is my favorite game. The elite four needed a bit more love- but nonetheless, it was still kind of challenging. Idk if it’s just me, but i thought this was the hardest one yet.

As much as I liked the tournament style introduced in Gen 8, I gotta say I kinda missed the Elite 4. I was disappointed that they were essentially replaced with Gym Leader rematch battles. I'm hoping next gen maybe they can compromise? Have the Elite 4 compete in the champions cup ? Edit: Electric, Fairy, Normal and Grass are the only 4 types not to be featured in any Elite 4. Would be cool to see them in a future Elite 4, if Gamefreak decides to bring them back :)

Unova took me by surprise when I first played because of the clutch coverage moves they had. The Bisharp with Aerial Ace, Reuniclus with Focus Blast, Chandelure with Energy Ball. They did a good job of keeping me on my toes.

What if there was a region where all the gym leaders were former elite members Edit: Whoa, that’s a lot of likes

Do a ranking best to worst on pokemon professors

I never had trouble with Alola's E4 though...

Nobody: Not a single soul: Mystic: *we've got shirts on sale*

When he said that Marshal was the weakest member of the Unova elite four made me question my team because I was able to sweep all the other members but him

The elite 4 These guys and gals have trained for years and have become I me with their pokemon and are quite the challenge to defeat. But if you have honed your skills and bonded with your pokemon you should be able to beat em.

Ah Marshall... I won't forget that Stone Edge on my Braviary

Not going with the strongest rematch of each regions elite 4 was a bad decision.

I personally felt like Sinnohs was the best, especially when paired with Cynthia as the champ. Truly an experience

I finished my Platinum campaing. The elite four was interesting, but Cynthia was terrible, I had to try at least 10 times, her Garchomp with dragon rush was hell.

I actually tend to struggle the most with Marshall out of the entire Unova elite four, due to his Pokémon using rock moves to knock my flying Pokémon out of the sky.

I’ve always found grimnsley very easy to beat. A fighting type sweeps him easily

Now that I think about it, I dont remember any other regions Elite 4 giving me a challenge or making me having to remotely think besides the Top 3 you mentioned. Great video man

You make awesome videos! I love them. Keep it up!!!!

Unova's E4 was the hardest I had EVER dealt with. And it still is. That Steel type setup is one that I can power through in Gen 7. Gen 5 was the hardest to deal with despite them having ONLY 4 Pokemon. And in the entire generation, their theme and Pokemon goes to show how serious you MUST take their fight.

I’m waiting for an XYZ where gym 4 and up have a mega evolutions with all the elite 4 having one as well

Time to predict again! And also, I'm doing this with all Elite Fours grouped by region, as there's no way in hell I'm doing individual. Weakest to strongest: Kalos, Kanto, Hoenn, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, Alola Edit: Hm, not too bad.

You seem to be pumping out the content. Not complaining bc it's pretty strong and nice to listen to your vids and their great quality, but hope you dont meet any burnout!

When I played black and white for the first time, I was like 11, I must've had multiple mental breakdowns, I couldn't beat the elite four to save my life

How about ranking all of the type specialist through out the series for a given type? Would like to see who is the strongest fire, dragon, or ghost specialist in the entire series so far.

Unova's ranking makes sense, as it was well built, and even though they have four Pokemon, it makes sense, given what happened afterwards. That was the climax with Team Plasma and they probably didn't want to overwhelm us right beforehand.

I still remember the genuine terror my 8 year old self felt after seeing my Pokémon get taken down in 1 hit with Sheer Cold from Glacia 😩

I like how he put gen 7 at number 1 when I never took any damage and I was under leveled

I definitely struggled with Pokémon White’s Elite 4 more than any other game’s.

Usually i tend to question your choicing.. this time you were actually spot on though.. good vid

Im actually glad that X and Y's elite 4 weren't that strong. X was my first pokemon game and the easy difficulty let me learn at my own pace.

Mystic your read my mind I was typing your name and go to you underrated video and suggest that you should make one on the elite four and now here it is :) thanks

Mystic:Kalos is not great Me:Pokemon X and Y is my favorite games

The only E4 I STRUGGLED on was Gen 4, mostly Sinnoh. It probably owed to me being younger but I can’t tell you how many times I blacked out on Aaron and Bertha

Unova is usually a harder Elite four but I went in with Darmanitan, Krookodile, and Archeops so it was pretty much a clean sweep.

As someone who just finished B2, i will say that Marshal wrecked my team with no Psychics and only one Crobat for Flying. Then Catlin was ruined by my Zoroark who used taunt. Grimsley was also a struggle but my Lucario did well. IMO Shauntal was probably the strongest, and that Chandelure is not only a favorite of mine, it also wrecked my team.

I agree! The elite 4 from Unova and Alola were so tough

Are you ever going to update and include Paldea's Elite Four?

Hey man I really want to make a video similar you yours. How on earth do the poketubers edit your videos? you aall have this style thats very intimidating for others to try to make. Thanks for your time!

just a heads up, in the remakes of gold n silver, once you get all 16 badges then the elite four members and lance use their real team and its actually probably the most difficult elite four in the series, especially the fact that your pokemon right after beating blue are still in the 50s while just Will (the first member) is using level 60s. Not sure if you count it tho but u should keep that in mind

That Marshall team is super challenging in challenge mode in white2. His conkeldurr has guts and holds a flame orb, so there are very few Pokémon in the game that can live a hit from that thing

!VIDEO IDEA! Mystic, if you were to pick ONE gym leader from each gen to put in Gen 9 what gym leaders would you pick and what place would you put each gym leader.

Interesting perspective. Personally, having played gens 1-5 (no remakes like oras) I would say my easiest experience with E4 by far was in Pokemon Black. And I did not do any significant amount of grinding throughout the game. That being said, the final battle with the main evil guy from team Plasma with Hydreigon was very difficult.

"while the games arent exactly great" - I personally think XY are amazing.

I'd rather use their rematch teams considering how beefed up some regions getsl Kalos technically has the battle chateau so levels are all good

Mystic : grimsley is the strongest elite 4 member in gen 5 My level 60 Lucario that sweeped through every single person up till now :I am going to end this man's whole career. BTW:it also sweeped Iris's whole team

I think the rematches should be a factor since that's their highest potential as far as difficulty.

And now, Ranking the remaches!

Please, do a video like this but rank the members of the elite four individually

Please do a top ten biggest Pokemon towns and top ten smallest Pokemon towns

I’m not gonna lie, i Never realize that Phoebe was a ghost trainer until this video, I always thought she was water based on her design.

Can you please do a ranking for how difficult the Trials are? Great vid btw

I think you should do a "Ranking All First Stage Pseudo Legendary Pokemon from Weakest to Strongest". It'd be fun to see Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, Beldum, Gible, Deino, Goomy, Jangmo-o and Dreepy up against each other. You can follow that video with a Second stage evolution ranking of the same. It'd be really cool and fun to watch!

I still believe Marshal is the hardest in Unova, and here's the explanantion (kinda lengthy but read it if you want to) The thing is, almost all of the others have at least one pokemon with a double typing and this is kinda of a double-edged blade: they can attack you from others fronts, but so can u. They all maybe have REALLY wide movepools (Grimsley being on top with 9 different moves to attack u with) But you can attack them in multiple places as well. But with Marshal, it's different: all his pokemon are pure fighting types, and considering that's a gen 5 game, there is no fairies, so you really only two options end up being flying and psychic. But it kinda of falls flat, cuz they all pack rock type moves, and also half of them have acess to Bug and Dark type physical moves, like Payback and U-Turn, which can make things harder for you, besides the fact that psychic type mons just REALLY struggle overall in Unova, cuz there's dark, bug and ghosty type mons EVERYWHERE to make your life hell. So yeah, I rest my case here.

How do you have only 461k subs? This channel is OG and he really helps me.

does anyone knows where he gets all of these team images ?

Gen 5 elite 4 gave me the toughest challenge, and I love them cause they're all so cool. They are the first elite 4 I have faced and boy I had to face them like 20 times no matter how hard I tried

Playing a black/white nuzlocke, the unova elite four is definitely the hardest, especially marshall because i had no flying or psychic type pokemon, (and i had a golurk that only had fly), so i had to resort to opening with my krookodile to intimidate his throh (it has a huge attack stat), switch to my golurk to predict a storm throw (it ended up using bulldoze anyways), heal up and then look for openings to use x attack and x defend to protect my golurk from damage and make sure it could do damage with fly, which just isn't a very strong move, especially without stab. So, it was by far the biggest challenge to me. I barely squeaked by shauntal without losing my chandelure and i also had to resort to some not so honorable strategies, and grimsley annoyed me with his liepard and scared me with his scrafty's coverage. Weirdly, caitlin wasn't that big a challenge considering the other three, but the coverage on her sigilyph scared the crap out of me

Also you can shut down about 90% of Drakes team with Ice beam, or similar ice type move

Pokemon Black was my first ever Pokemon game. It is also the only Pokemon Game that I have never successfully completed. The reason? Aside from being a newbie to the franchise and not knowing anything about moves, types, or abilities, that Elite Four really messed me up. I even remember failing once and going around to find an Axew, evolve it all the way to a Haxorus, and training it up to around the levels of my other team members and still couldn't beat it. Oh yeah and for Kalos, my team consisted of a Blaziken, Charizard, Delphox, Simipour, Pidgeot, and Yveltal. And I absolutely steamrolled the elite four...

STILL FLINT'S INFERNAPE WAS BEST.

Nice list

Also, before going against Bertha, you have to fight Aron who could take out the grass types which could gum up the works if you are playing a Nuzlocke.

*Flashbacks of molayne sweeping my team intensify*

Mystic i have disagreed with many of your lists but man i am glad i am that stubborn to not quit believing in you.This list is accurate at its finest.There are lots of factors that make Black and White quite less interesting compared to the rest of the games but its Elite 4 were truly the best.They also had the best themes i think.Alson, just how many houses does Caitlin own actually?Not to mention the surprise i got when i first met her and cried "Holy shit that's the lady from the Battle Castle!".I absolutely agree with every entry on your list.

How'd you make your avatar @MysticUmbreon

Marshal's meinshao was so freaking strong, as a kid I regretted not having a ghost type to stop its high jump kicks.

I consider the swsh elite leaders + bede as the galar elite four, as you fight four trainers. I played shield so I fought Allister, not Bea (i didn't know bea existed until after i beat shield) and this is my ranking. Easiest is Nessa. Her whole team (golisopod, pelipper, barraskewda, seaking and g-max drednaw) i could EASILY take out with charge followed by spark. Didn't take damage the whole fight. Next is Raihan. His goodra and flygon i could easily take out with ice beam, his torkoal and turtonator (despite being neutral) were no match for snipe shot, and his duraludon i could two shot with a special max starfall (duraludon's sp. def is trash). Penultimate is Bede. Her mawile could go down pretty easily with a flamethrower, but the rest of her team was kind of tough. When i will-o-wisp'd gardevoir, she surprised me with synchronise, her rapidash wasn't much of a challenge, but her quick attack was kind of annoying with its high attack, and her g-max hattrene with its crazy sp. atk (plus calm mind) and mystical fire fainted four of my pokemon. The hardest was definitely Allister. Her dusclops with disable got rid of my super effective moves and with thunder punch statusing my team, her chandelure with crazy sp. atk plus mystical fire (raising sp. atk MORE) plus shadow ball with that chance of LOWERING my sp. def, AND with will-o-wisp, leading into her cursola with hex (does double damage when target has a status) and with strength sap lowering my attack, ancient power with the chance of an all-stat boost, and amnesia. Then when her polteageist comes out, it's got shadow ball (possible sp. def drop) and that combined with nasty plot just destroyed my special game, and protect (you know what that does) but when i FINALLY get it to low health it comes out with giga drain which will do BROKEN damage because of my lowered sp. def and her usually maxed out sp. atk. Last is her G-max Gengar with hypnosis, and dark pulse and shadow ball just completely getting rid of my chance to use a ghost type, especially with gengar's high speed. Sludge bomb poisons and that's not good. G-max terror from shadow ball has 130 power and is special which is REAL bad if a previous pokemon used shadow ball and lowered my sp. def. Allister took FOUR tries to beat for me.

Funny story, when I played Pokémon black and white i had quite a lot of trouble with the elite 4. However, when my Emboar learned flare blitz, the elite 4 was a complete cake walk.

Galar technically had an elite 4, they just called it something else but the actual premise was still the same, starts of with Bede who's the fairy type trainer, then Nessa the water trainer, then either Bea or Allister depending on which version of the game you got with fighting or ghost, and finally of course Raihan the dragon leader. i really feel like in any discussions on elite 4, Galar shouldn't be excluded because i think these 4 fill in the elite 4 status in a unique and fun way

oh i was hoping he was going to rank each member of all the elite 4

Gen 4 had the toughest pokemon league in my opinion, that elite 4 was mad hard...it was tough even trying to get to Cynthia lowkey

10:21 that élite...that elite has hell in the front, especially the second round, Catlin has a metagross and the shauntal's frosslas is very trained it has psychic to get rid of the fighting types , When I faced the elite four for the second time it was more difficult than the first time and I had to restart two or three times against shauntal because of his frosslas

Even though X and Y are near and dear to my heart... I’ll just ignore what you say about them and watch the rest of the video XD

Ranking best pokemon games to do a nuzlock from easiest to hardest

where would you put Sun and Moon 1? I was dissapointed to learn that their squad are only 12 levels stronger( at least I've liked the champion battles and the rematches)

My favourite one is Unova Caitlin, in design and pokemons that uses

the challenge from Unova's elite four is that you get there five levels lower than them in black and white, so it forces grinding

When is the next top 10 pokemon of a certain type coming ?

Generation 3 elite four was a good challenge for sure

Sinnoh was definitely tough for me. I think the worst was actually Unova. I got rocked repeatedly and it wasn't even on challenge mode. Sinnoh would be next for me, followed by Firered at 3 because I was 10 and didn't know what I was doing lol. USUM was a cake walk imo.

even without challenge mode, if we were going off rematch teams then unova would definitely be the strongest

Not me struggling in the Johto elite 4 but wiping out the ultra elite 4 in one try 😳😳😳

Strongest elite 4 members individually, elite 4 with competitive teams or duel type specialists gyms.

Next ranking suggestion: “Worst to Best Elite Four signature Pokemon”

Sinnoh and Johto have the strongest in my opinion because in johto Karen has dark types with confuse ray taunt and moves that confuse pokemon or you cant use the same move twice and for sinnoh i have nothing to say Lucian gave me trouble when i played platinum i remember having a lvl 66 infernape when i first fought the elite four and my other 5 pokemon in the mid lvl 60s (ranging from lvl 62-64 and infernape being lvl 66) and it took me 3 times to beat the elite four before i challenged cynthia (sorry for this comment being too long)

i always thought that lance’s mons having hyper beam was a cool detail that was explored in the manga. in the manga, he could heal/feel the emotions of pokemon. all his pokémon knew how to use hyper beam and they could redirect the beam mid air at will. really cool

I honestly blew right through ultra moon E4. SoulSilver, I was never able to get through at all, i had to play through again and trade in a friend's crazy IV/EV gengar. My hardest successful runthrough was through emerald.

I have to agree with the Unova Elite 4: you'd think it's easy to beat them, especially the two mono-types (OK, Catlin has one dual-type, but whatever) in BW, but those teams have all the coverage in the world.

Glacia’s ORAS design reminds me of Elsa from Frozen! ❄️

USUM are super hard if you don't use the EXP. share. You will notice Pokémoj you would normally beat witg one hit, can take one hit and destroy you

The Kalos Elite Four are my favourites design wise however,the Elite Four I struggled with the most is the Unova one. I literally breezed through the Sinnoh Elite Four and I have no clue why everybody says it's the hardest.
