Elite Four

The Elite Four (Japanese: 四天王 The Big Four) are four Pokémon Trainers who are regarded as the toughest in their regional Pokémon League, just short of the Pokémon League Champion. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight Badges from that region (or, for Trainers in Alola, must have completed all of their island challenge trials). To become Champion, Trainers must face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them.

One group resides at the Indigo Plateau in Kanto and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and Johto. Another group is located in Ever Grande City in Hoenn, while another is located on Mount Lanakila in Alola. Three more groups reside at the Pokémon Leagues in Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos.

In the games, they use strong medicine items in battles. In Generation II, they use Max Potions, and from Generation III onwards, they use Full Restores. Like Gym Leaders, they typically specialize in Pokémon of a particular type. Prior to Generation V, the Elite Four typically progressed in level with their Pokémon in the games. Starting in Generation V, all members of the Elite Four (except in remakes) use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order.

Pokémon Trading Card Game

In Pokémon Trading Card Game, there is a group composed of powerful four members called the Grand Masters, who are the counterpart of the Elite Four in these games. Defeating them earns the player the Legendary Cards.

In the anime

Main series

The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime

In the Pokémon anime, Ash and his friends infrequently meet Elite Four members, who then impart them with battle strategies.

In Kanto, Ash has met the entire original Elite Four roster:

Bruno was the first Elite Four member to appear in the anime (excluding Koga, who was later promoted to be one in Generation II), in To Master the Onixpected.
Lorelei appeared in The Mandarin Island Miss Match, but she is named "Prima" in the English dub.
Lance debuted in Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution, where he was mentioned to be the Champion rather than a regular member of the Elite Four. He is referred to as a member of the Elite Four in Flash of the Titans!.
Agatha appeared in The Scheme Team, where she was acting as a temporary Gym Leader for the Viridian Gym.
- Koga, though not an Elite Four member, debuted in The Ninja Poké-Showdown, where he had a Gym battle against Ash.

In Hoenn, Ash has met only one Elite Four member:

Drake appeared in Vanity Affair, where he invited Ash and his friends to his boat, where he had a battle with Ash. He reappeared in Looking Out for Number Two!, where he was shown to have become a treasure hunter in addition to his Elite Four duties.

In Sinnoh, Ash has also met the entire Elite Four roster:

Lucian debuted in An Elite Meet and Greet!, where he had a battle with Dawn, using his Bronzong against her Buizel.
Aaron debuted in A Trainer and Child Reunion!, where he was seen training to challenge Cynthia.
Flint debuted in Flint Sparks the Fire!, where he had a battle with Ash, using his Infernape against his Buizel, Infernape, and Pikachu.
Bertha appeared in An Elite Coverup!, where she taught Ash and Dawn how observation skills can be useful in battles and Pokémon Contests.

In Unova, Ash has also met only one Elite Four member:

Caitlin debuted in Jostling for the Junior Cup!, where she faced off against Cynthia during an exhibition match of the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup.

In Kalos, the entire Elite Four roster has appeared, with Ash having met three of them. Unlike the games, all members of the Elite Four of Kalos have at least one Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving:

Siebold appeared in Mega Evolution Special I, where he used his Mega Blastoise to battle Alain and his Mega Charizard X.
Wikstrom first appeared in a cameo in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, in which he was seen battling Diantha, using his Mega Scizor against her Mega Gardevoir. He made his main series debut in Searching for Chivalry!, in which Ash met him for the first time when he visited the Castle of Chivalry.
Malva debuted in Cloudy Fate, Bright Future! in a video transmission. Ash didn't meet her until A League of His Own!, where he was interviewed by her.
Drasna appeared in JN103 and JN104. She battled Ash in a World Coronation Series match and ultimately lost, marking the first time Ash has defeated an Elite Four member.

In Alola, Ash has met the entire Elite Four rosters from both the Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon paired versions, though none of them presented themselves as such, because the Alola League was not established until The Dealer of Destruction! in the anime:

Hala debuted in To Top a Totem!, where he led Ash to Verdant Cavern so he could start his island challenge.
Olivia debuted in The Island Whisperer!, where she took Ash and his classmates to Akala Island and began hosting them during their stay there.
Acerola debuted in Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?, though Ash didn't meet her until the next episode, where she assisted him in his first battle against Nanu.
Molayne debuted in Showering the World with Love!, where he showed Ash and his classmates around the Hokulani Observatory.
Kahili debuted in Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!, where she took Ash and his classmates to a Pokémon Golf course and taught them the sport.

It has been stated by Lucian in An Elite Meet and Greet! that when a Trainer wins their respective region's League Conference, they can participate in the Champion League, fighting the members of that region's Elite Four, and then the Champion as well. It has also been shown that an Elite Four member can challenge the Champion and obtain the title from them in battle.

Pokémon Adventures

Kanto Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures

Red, Green & Blue arc

The Kanto Elite Four, consisting of Lorelei, Bruno, Lance, and Agatha, made their debut in A Charizard...and a Champion, watching the final battle between Red and Blue.

Yellow arc

The Kanto Elite Four served as the primary antagonists for this chapter. They are each said to be so powerful that the triad leaders of Team Rocket, Koga, Lt. Surge, and Sabrina, all had to begrudgingly team up with the protagonists and Blaine to take just a single one of them.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

The Johto Elite Four is formed at the end of this chapter. It consists of accomplished Pokémon Trainers that were formerly part of criminal organizations, who would eventually rise as the official Elite Four of Indigo Plateau. Will, Bruno, Karen, and Koga united to train together after they were no longer being controlled.

Ruby & Sapphire arc

Hoenn Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures

The Hoenn Elite Four, consisting of Sidney, Phoebe, Glacia, and Drake, made an appearance in this chapter, helping to find and catch the legendary titans in order to contain the massive surge of energy created by the clash of Kyogre and Groudon alongside Steven and Wallace, their two regional Champions. It is also during the Hoenn Elite Four's appearance that the challenge of the Elite Four and Champion was mentioned as having replaced a knockout tournament to determine the best Trainer in the region.

Diamond & Pearl arc

The first Sinnoh Elite Four member to debut in the series was Flint, who made a cameo appearance in the last round of this chapter.

Platinum arc

Aaron, Bertha, and Lucian debuted in this chapter, where they were enlisted by the Pokémon Association Chairman to decode the ancient writings in Charon's memobook. Meanwhile, Flint accompanied Volkner to the Distortion World so that they could battle Giratina.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

The Johto Elite Four reappeared in this chapter, where they were seen participating on the Pokéathlon and later fighting Lance's Dragonite.

Black & White arc

The Unova Elite Four first appeared in this chapter as Black cited them during his daily pledge. However, they haven't appeared to the main characters as a group yet. Besides Caitlin, who already appeared in the Platinum chapter, Grimsley meets Black, Shauntal meets White, and Marshal meets both on different occasions. All four converged for the duration of the Unova League tournament that would have determined the Trainer that would challenge them. They also participated in the battle against Team Plasma and the Forces of Nature when N's Castle rose from the ground.

X & Y arc

The first Kalos Elite Four member to appear is Malva, who appeared in person in this chapter. Drasna, Wikstrom, and Siebold were mentioned by Diantha during her conversation with Gurkinn and Korrina. Siebold later appeared in the Lost Hotel, cooking a meal for X and Y's friends, as a way of apologizing for his lack of participation against Team Flare. Wikstrom and Drasna later appeared in person, assisting X and Y's group in their quest to stop Team Flare. Drasna gave them information about Zygarde and Wikstrom used his Probopass to guide them to Team Flare's hideout at the Pokémon Village.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

While never actually forming, the members comprising the Alola Elite Four appear individually throughout the chapter. Hala and Olivia appear in The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl, discussing the sightings of the guardian deities around Alola with Nanu. Kahili appears in Defeat and the Commander of the School of Fish, coming back to Alola and speculating the Ultra Beasts are the source of the guardian deities' rage. In Shipwreck and "Oh, What Sharp Teeth You Have, Bruxish!", Acerola finds an unconscious Sun and Lillie on a beach and takes them to the Aether House to recuperate. Molayne appears in Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull, helping innocent civilians escape from the Ultra Beasts wreaking havoc on Ula'ula Island.

Pokémon Zensho

The Kanto Elite Four members appeared in Indigo Plateau, where all of them were defeated by Satoshi, allowing him to face the Champion, Shigeru.

Trivia

The only types that have yet to be specialized in by any Elite Four member are Normal, Grass, Electric, and Fairy.
There have been more Ghost-type Elite Four members than any other type, with four: Agatha, Phoebe, Shauntal, and Acerola.
In the Generation I games, the battles against Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against Lance. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.
In the Kanto-based games:
- The Elite Four's specialty types are the types that were the least common Pokémon types in Generation I.
- Every Elite Four member has at least one Pokémon not of their specialty type during the first battle.
The Kalos Elite Four members are the only ones that don't have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
- Additionally, they are the only ones who use just four Pokémon in rematches with them. All other Elite Four members use either five or six Pokémon during rematches.
The Sinnoh Elite Four, the Kalos Elite Four, and the Generation I Elite Four are the only Elite Four of which all members have appeared in the anime.
- All members of the Alola Elite Four have also appeared in the anime. However, they did not appear as Elite Four members since the Alola Pokémon League was not established at the time.
The Alola Elite Four is the only Elite Four with more female members than male members.
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the only games to date in which the player can change their Pokémon party between Elite Four matches, due to the presence of the Pokémon Box in the player's Bag.
Pokémon Sword and Shield are the only core series games that feature a Pokémon League but not an Elite Four.

Name origin

The Japanese name of the Elite Four literally translates to the Four Heavenly Kings, a term of Buddhist origins that refers to the group of four guardian deities presiding over each of the four cardinal directions. By extension, it connotes an ensemble of four leaders in a particular field, akin to the Big Four in English.

The English translation of "the big four" had also appeared in the Japanese and Korean version of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
