==Pokémon League==
[[File:Ever Grande City League Lobby E.png|thumb|Pokémon League Lobby]]

The {{ho|Pokémon League}} building holds the traditional amenities. The Pokémon Center and PC are located to the left, while the Poké Mart is off to the right. It's a good idea to stock up on {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, and {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s for the gauntlet ahead.

To increase your chances of victory, you may want to revisit the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and purchase some [[battle item]]s. These items temporarily raise one of a Pokémon's stats during battle. Using a single {{DL|Battle item|X Defense}} or {{DL|Battle item|X Sp. Def}} will boost the respective stat by 50%. Using two is equal to a 100% boost, so the Pokémon sustains half the normal amount of damage. {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}}s can be useful as well, as using three or more drastically raises the odds of getting a [[critical hit]]. In addition, using a {{DL|Battle item|Guard Spec.}} protects your Pokémon from stat reduction for five turns.

With your preparations complete, talk to the two Ace Trainers guarding the doorway in the room's center. They verify that you've earned all eight [[Hoenn League]] Badges before stepping aside, allowing you to enter the depths of the Pokémon League. Challengers must face the {{ho|Elite Four}} and [[Champion]] in quick succession, with no outside help. Step through the door to reach the first chamber.

===Elite Four===
====Battle 1: Sidney====
[[File:Sidney room RSE.png|thumb|Sidney's room]]

The first member of the Elite Four is [[Sidney]], a master {{type|Dark}} Trainer. His Pokémon are all vulnerable to {{t|Bug}}- and {{type|Fighting}} attacks, and immune to {{t|Psychic}} moves.

He leads with his {{p|Mightyena}}, which lowers the opponent's Attack with its {{a|Intimidate}} Ability. {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Double-Edge}} are strong moves, while {{m|Sand-Attack}} lowers the target's accuracy. Use super-effective moves, or a special attacker to bypass Intimidate, to knock it out. {{p|Shiftry}} is a {{2t|Grass|Dark}} type, doubly vulnerable to Bug moves. It can retaliate against Fighting Pokémon with {{m|Extrasensory}}, and may use {{m|Swagger}} to confuse the target while raising its {{stat|Attack}}, in the hopes that it will wear itself down. Use a [[Persim Berry]] to cure confusion, and take it out by exploiting one of its many weaknesses. {{p|Cacturne}}, like Shiftry, is another Grass/Dark Pokémon. {{m|Leech Seed}} lets it slowly sap the target's health to restore its own, and {{m|Cotton Spore}} cuts the target's {{stat|Speed}}. Target one of its many weaknesses to knock it out quickly. His {{p|Crawdaunt}} can be dangerous due to its high Attack, but its low {{stat|Special Defense}} means you can make quick work of it. {{m|Surf}} is its strongest move, but {{m|Swords Dance}} increases {{m|Strength}}'s damage output by boosting its Attack. Last up is his {{p|Absol}}; its high Attack means that any of its moves can pack a punch. Slash has an increased critical-hit ratio, while the sure-hit {{m|Aerial Ace}} can be used to deter Fighting Pokémon. Its defenses are mediocre, so use your strongest moves to keep up the pressure and take it down.

====Battle 2: Phoebe====
[[File:Phoebe room RSE.png|thumb|Phoebe's room]]

The second member of the Elite Four is [[Phoebe]], a master {{type|Ghost}} Trainer. Most of her Pokémon are vulnerable to {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Dark}} moves, and immune to {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Fighting}} moves.

She leads with her first of two {{p|Dusclops}}, a defensive Ghost Pokémon that is more interested in status ailments than direct attacks. {{m|Confuse Ray}} triggers confusion, which may force the target to attack itself. {{m|Curse}} forces it to sacrifice half of its health to lay a curse on the target, which wears away 25% of its maximum health every turn; however, switching your Pokémon out lifts the curse. Use Ghost and Dark attacks to take it down. Phoebe has two {{p|Banette}} on her team. The first can burn the target—cutting its Attack in half—with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, while the second may paralyze the foe—dropping its Speed to 25%—with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Both can use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and can cause minor additional damage with {{m|Faint Attack}} and {{m|Psychic}}, respectively. Due to its unique {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} typing, {{p|Sableye}} has no weaknesses under normal conditions; however, using {{m|Foresight}} exposes its Dark-type vulnerability to {{t|Fighting}} moves. Faint Attack and Shadow Ball receive a [[same-type attack bonus]], and {{m|Night Shade}} deals damage equal to its level. Lastly, her second {{p|Dusclops}} has access to Shadow Ball, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, and {{m|Earthquake}}; despite its relatively low offenses, these allow it to deal super-effective damage against a wide variety of Pokémon. Take it down with strong Ghost- or Dark-type attacks to win the battle.

====Battle 3: Glacia====
[[File:Glacia room RSE.png|thumb|Glacia's room]]

The third member of the Elite Four is [[Glacia]], a master {{type|Ice}} Trainer. Her Pokémon are vulnerable to {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Fighting}} attacks.

She leads with her first {{p|Sealeo}}, an {{2t|Ice|Water}} Pokémon which tends to start things off with {{m|Hail}}. With Hail in effect, {{m|Blizzard}}'s accuracy rises to 100% and all non-Ice types take residual damage for five turns. Use {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} moves to deal super-effective damage. Her first {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Light Screen}} temporarily reduces the damage taken from Special moves, so moves like {{m|Flamethrower}} are less effective. Its other moves aren't much of a problem, so this may be a good opportunity for set-up moves like {{m|Swords Dance}}. Her second Glalie is much the same; as with the first, take it out at your leisure. Both of her nearly-identical Sealeo carry Hail in addition to damaging {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ice}} attacks, while the second can distract male opponents with {{m|Attract}}. Glacia's biggest threat is {{p|Walrein}}, another Ice/Water Pokémon. Its high HP, Defense, and Special Defense means that not even super-effective moves will take it down easily. Decent offensive stats allow it to deal respectable damage with {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, and {{m|Body Slam}}. {{m|Sheer Cold}} instantly knocks out the target if it hits, but only works on a target of a lower level than the user. Use {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Electric}} moves to take it down quickly.

Glacia also commands two nearly-identical {{p|Sealeo}}.

====Battle 4: Drake====
[[File:Drake room RSE.png|thumb|Drake's room]]

The fourth and final member of the Elite Four is [[Drake]], a master {{type|Dragon}} Trainer. His Pokémon are all vulnerable to Dragon- and {{type|Ice}} attacks.

Drake leads with his {{p|Shelgon}}, a physically-oriented Pokémon. {{m|Dragon Claw}} is its strongest move, while {{m|Rock Tomb}} helps the slow Pokémon even the playing field by lowering the target's {{stat|Speed}}. As a Rock move, it also allows it to fight back against Ice Pokémon. Next up is his {{p|Altaria}}, a defensively-oriented Pokémon. {{m|Dragon Dance}} raises both its {{stat|Attack}} and Speed by one stage each, which works well alongside {{m|Double-Edge}}. As a {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon, it takes massive damage from Ice attacks. Like Altaria, his {{p|Kingdra}} can make itself more threatening with Dragon Dance, which increases the damage it deals with {{m|Body Slam}}. {{m|Surf}} receives a [[same-type attack bonus]] and {{m|SmokeScreen}} lowers the target's accuracy. Due to its {{2t|Water|Dragon}} typing, its sustains super-effective damage only from Dragon-type moves. {{p|Flygon}} enjoys high Attack and Speed, which lets it harass its foe with {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Earthquake}}. Though {{m|Flamethrower}} is dependent on its lower {{stat|Special Attack}}, it gives Flygon a way to deal with Ice Pokémon; as a {{2t|Ground|Dragon}}, it is extremely vulnerable to Ice moves. Drake's final Pokémon is {{p|Salamence}}, a Dragon/Flying type. It has high Attack, better-than-average Speed, and respectable defenses. Its {{a|Intimidate}} Ability weakens physical attackers, so special attackers, especially those with Ice moves, will have the advantage here.

Defeating the Elite Four has earned you the right to challenge Hoenn's reigning Champion. It is important to note that you will be drawn into battle immediately upon entering the final room, so take a moment to tend to your Pokémon and save your progress before moving on.

===Champion===
[[File:Champion Wallace room E.png|thumb|Champion's room]]

Inside the Champion's hall, you find your [[Wallace]] waiting for you. He commends you and your Pokémon for putting an end to the crisis in {{ci|Sootopolis}}. He goes on to say that Trainers raise their Pokémon by teaching them new battle techniques, but that Trainers learn just as much from their Pokémon. He challenges you to put your achievements to the test against what others like you have achieved. The stage is set for a legendary showdown! While most Champions prefer the benefits of a diverse Pokémon team, Wallace still uses his beloved {{t|Water}} Pokémon from his time as Sootopolis Gym Leader.

Wallace leads with his {{p|Wailord}}, a Water Pokémon with incredible stamina. Initially, its strongest move is {{m|Water Spout}}, which deals the most damage when its HP is full. This move receives a [[same-type attack bonus]], and can be boosted further if {{m|Rain Dance}} is in effect. Chip away at its health with {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks and it will eventually resort to using the relatively weaker {{m|Double-Edge}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

{{p|Tentacruel}}'s {{m|Toxic}} leaves all but {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Steel}} Pokémon {{status|Poison|badly poisoned}}, where an ever-growing amount of HP is lost every turn. Both {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} let it counter {{t|Grass}} types that might threaten its teammates. Ice Beam and {{m|Hydro Pump}} allow it to fight back against any {{t|Ground}} types that may try to exploit its Poison typing. As a {{2t|Water|Poison}} Pokémon, Tentacruel is especially vulnerable to {{t|Electric}}, Ground, and {{t|Psychic}} attacks. Its {{stat|Special Defense}} is nearly twice as high as its {{stat|Defense}}, so prioritize physical moves over special ones.

A {{2t|Water|Grass}} type, his {{p|Ludicolo}} can actively steal the target's health with {{m|Giga Drain}} and swamp the opposition with {{m|Surf}}. {{m|Leech Seed}} allows it to passively sap even more health from the target over several turns, and {{m|Double Team}} makes it harder to hit by boosting its evasion. Like Tentacruel, its highest stat is its {{stat|Special Defense}}, so physical moves are best. Fortunately, each type from which it sustains super-effective damage—{{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, and {{t|Poison}}—are all classified as [[Physical move]]s.

His {{p|Whiscash}} has a fairly unique {{2t|Water|Ground}} typing, leaving it susceptible only to {{t|Grass}} moves. {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Earthquake}} both receive a [[same-type attack bonus]], and Earthquake allows it to counter {{t|Electric}} Pokémon. {{m|Hyper Beam}} is a powerful attack but the user is forced to rest on the next turn. {{m|Amnesia}} lets it bolster its {{stat|Special Defense}}—its lowest stat after {{stat|Speed}}—by two stages, or 100% of the original value. All Grass moves are classified as [[Special move]]s, so hammer away at its health before it can harden its defenses.

{{p|Gyarados}} gets straight to business as soon as it hits the field, with its {{a|Intimidate}} Ability cutting the foe's {{stat|Attack}} by 33%. {{m|Dragon Dance}} raises its {{stat|Speed}} and its already-high {{stat|Attack}} to sky-high levels, increasing the damage dealt by both {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Earthquake}}. Its final move, {{m|Surf}}, lets it deal reliable Water-type damage. As a {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon, it takes massive damage from {{t|Electric}} attacks, but avoid attacking with Electric Pokémon. Barring that, its secondary Flying type leaves it susceptible to {{t|Rock}} moves, as well.

Finally, Wallace sends out his heaviest hitter: {{p|Milotic}}, a high-level Water Pokémon. {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} allow it to handle a variety of threats, including {{t|Grass}} Pokémon that might exploit its weakness. {{m|Toxic}} pressures the target to end the match quickly, while Milotic can restore its health time and again with {{m|Recover}}. It may seem beneficial to rely on status ailments to weaken it; however, its {{a|Marvel Scale}} Ability boosts its {{stat|Defense}} by 50% when Milotic is afflicted by these ailments. It takes serious damage from Grass and {{t|Electric}} attacks, [[Special move]]s that involve its higher {{stat|Special Defense}}. For an easier time, avoid status-inflicting moves and target its lower Defense with physical moves.

With the battle concluded, Wallace congratulates you on your impressive victory. Just as he is about to crown you the new Hoenn League Champion, May/Brendan rushes in with some advice for challenging the Champion, only to find that you've already done so. [[Professor Birch]] arrives not long after, and rates your Pokédex before congratulating you as well.

===Hall of Fame===
Wallace then leads you into the [[Hall of Fame]], where all Champions are honored. He asks that you set your Poké Balls in the machine here, so that your name and those of your Pokémon can be recorded for posterity. During the process, a shot of each fighter appears briefly on-screen. The screen fades to black, and the game is saved.
