* In the [[Generation I]] games, the type specialties of the Elite Four were in ascending order by type-advantage: Lorelei's {{type2|Ice}}s are weak to Bruno's {{type2|Fighting}}s, Agatha's {{type2|Ghost}}s are resistant to Bruno's Fighting-types, and Lance's {{type2|Dragon}}s have superior strength over Agatha. In Generation II, the order was reversed: Will's {{type2|Psychic}}s are strong against Koga's {{type2|Poison}}s, which resist Bruno's Fighting-types, which are strong against Karen's {{type2|Dark}}s. This pattern repeated in Generation III, with {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Dragon}}.

The Elite Four (Japanese: 四天王 Four Heavenly Kings) are four Pokémon Trainers who are regarded as the toughest in their regional Pokémon League, short of League Champion. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have achieved all eight Badges from that region and face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them.

One group resides on Indigo Plateau in Kanto, and are considered the best trainers in both Kanto and Johto; another is in Ever Grande City in Hoenn; and the last known one is in the unnamed Pokémon League in Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime

Ash and his friends often meet the members of the Elite Four, who then impart them with battle strategies. So far, Ash has only met the complete Kanto group, meeting Lorelei in The Mandarin Island Miss Match, Bruno in To Master the Onixpected, Agatha in The Scheme Team and Lance in Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution. Ash has also met Koga in The Ninja Poké-Showdown, though merely for the Fuchsia Gym Badge, Drake in Vanity Affair, Wallace in Our Cup Runneth Over!, Lucian in An Elite Meet and Greet, Cynthia in Top-Down Training and Aaron in A Trainer and Child Reunion.

It has been hinted by Lucian in An Elite Meet and Greet! that when a trainer wins their respective region's Conference Tournament that they can participate in the Elite Four Challenge, fighting the four members of that region's Elite Four, and then possibly the Champion as well.

Trivia

  • As of Generation IV, Champion Lance has the lowest average level, and Champion Cynthia has the highest average level in the player's first battle with them.
  • The levels of the Johto Elite Four is considerably the lowest of the League, having levels under 50 (Apart from Lance), while the Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh have levels higher than 50/60.
