The story of the Victory Road in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet ends with a classic battle to prove that you are, in fact, the best of the best. To do this, you’ll need to defeat the infamous Elite Four, just like in every previous generation game. As always, this is a never-ending series of battles against arguably the strongest trainers in the entire Paldea region. If that wasn’t hard enough, there are two more fights after the one against the foursome. You’ll need a top team on your side and tons of items. These tips on how to become the undisputed champion of Pokémon Scarlet and violet will also prove crucial.
Once you’ve collected all eight gym badges, reached the Pokémon League, and answered all questions correctly in the assessment test, you can begin your journey to becoming a champion. Fortunately, you’ll have the chance to heal and reorganize your team between battles, which will be necessary to take on some of these tough trainers.
Note: There will be spoilers for the Elite Four as well as the two champion battles that take place after them, including their identities and Pokémon.

Once you reach the Pokémon League and pass the assessment test, Rika will be the first member of the Elite Four to challenge you. He has a team mostly made up of Ground-type Pokémon that are naturally weak against Water-, Grass-, and Ice-types. We recommend including a strong Water-type as your primary option because, as you’ll see, Rika also has Pokémon with poison moves that are super effective against Grass-types. However, have the Grass guy ready for one possible counter. Here is Rika’s team:
- Whiscash — Level 57 (Water/Land)
- Camerupt — Level 57 (Fire/Earth)
- Dugtrio — Level 57 (Earth type)
- Donphan — Level 57 (Earth Type)
- Clodsire — Level 58 (Poison/Terra-type with land terra-type)
Since Rikin’s introductory Pokémon is water, start with that grass type we mentioned to bring with you. From there, switch to your water-type ringer to start flushing out the rest of her crew. Again, switching back to a Grass type for her Clodsire is best because of its Poison moves and water absorption ability.
Poppy guide

To prepare for your next battle against Poppy, build your team primarily around fighting steel types. Steel mainly counters Fire, Fighting, and Earth Pokémon, but when we go through her lineup, you’ll see that Fire and Earth are the best choices. Fortunately, Poppy’s best Pokémon doesn’t deviate too far from the trend to require a complete overhaul of your team. This is the competition for the second round:
- Copperajah — Level 58 (Steel Type)
- Corviknight — Level 58 (Flying/Steel)
- Brozong — Level 58 (Steel/Psychic Type)
- Megnezone — Level 58 (Electric/Steel)
- Tinkaton — Level 59 (Fairy/Steel Type with Steel Terra Type)
Corvinknight and Brozong are the two main reasons why Fighting isn’t a good pick for this fight as they won’t be able to do much against them. Fire and ground types can easily get you to the end, but make sure they have high enough defense stats to deal with the ultimate Tinkaton that uses only physical moves.
Larry guide

Who would have thought that Larry, of all coaches, would make another appearance as a member of the Elite Four. Regardless, this fight won’t be anything like your first. Instead of sticking to normal types, Larry has a powerful team of flying Pokémon. Flying is generally weak against Electric, Fire, Rock, and Dragon types, but you’ll need a combo here for a few reasons. Let’s take a look at his team first:
- Tropius — Level 59 (Grass/Flying Type)
- Staraptor — Level 59 (Normal/Flying Type)
- Altaria – Level 59 (Dragon/Flying Type)
- Oricorio — Level 59 (Electric/Flying Type)
- Flamigo — level 60 (flying/fighting type with flying terra form)
As you can see, all of Larry’s Pokémon are a mix of Flying and some other type, which complicates things a bit. You should use Fire-type to counter his Tropius, Electric against Staraptor and Flamig, Rock to deal with his Oricorio, and Dragon to defeat his Altaria. One last good tip is that Flamigo, who only uses physical attacks, can be easily defeated if you have a Pokémon with a movement counter.
Hassel guide

If you’ve been a good trainer and attended classes, you’ll recognize Hassel as an art professor at the Academy. Apart from the art, he’s also ready to give you a lesson in pain, so it’s best to be prepared. Hassel’s Pokémon are focused on Dragon-types, which is inconvenient because they are weak to Dragon-, Ice-, and Fairy-types. However, Fairy isn’t the best option here, making your team choices limited. Here’s what Hassel will throw at you:
- Noivern — Level 60 (Flying/Dragon Type)
- Dragalge — level 60 (poison/dragon type)
- Haxorus — level 60 (dragon type)
- Flapple – Level 60 (Grass/Dragon)
- Baxcalibur — Level 61 (Dragon/Ice Type with Terra Dragon Form)
As you can see, Dragalge’s poison moves make using fairy types against Hassel a bad idea, but what you can’t see is that Haxorus also has some steel moves that counter fairies as well. You can certainly use Fairy against his other members, but a good Ice guy is a solid choice for the rest of his team. If you managed to get one, Gyarados can use both Dragon and Ice moves, making it an easy pick, but not against Dragalage as it has a Thunderbolt move.
Top Champion Geeta guide

Things have already gotten complicated at the end of the Elite Four, but champion Geeta’s team is even worse for you because she doesn’t stick to any theme for her team. She’s put together a roster of all types of Pokémon, which means you’ll need a ton of high-level Pokémon in most species to go up against her. Let’s take a look at the competition:
- Espathra — Level 61 (Flying/Dragon Type)
- Avalugg — Level 61 (Ice Type)
- Kingambit — Level 61 (Dark/Steel)
- Veluza — Level 61 (Water/Psychic0 type)
- Gojarac — level 61 (grass type)
- Glimmora — Level 62 (rock/poison type with Rock Terra form)
When preparing your team, do your best to use only one type of Pokémon. The two Pokémon you’ll need to pay the most attention to here are Kingambit and Glimmora. Kingabit is weak against Fighting types, but you’ll need one with very high speed to counter his Zen Headbutt move. Glimmora will start out as a Rock, which isn’t too bad for another fight type, Grass or Ground, but Terra Form turns her into a pure Rock type, so go easy on yourself and use a Grass type.
Otherwise, pack Beetle for Espathra and Veluz, Fighting for Avalugg, and Flying-type for Gogoat.
Champion Nemon Guide

Beating the champion is never the end, right? You should always have one final, dramatic battle with your rival. In this case, it’s Nemona, and she pulls no punches in this final battle. You’ll already know some of her squads, you’ve battled her a few times before, but this is her most powerful Pokémon ever. Here’s what will be your last hurdle to becoming the league champion:
- Lycancroc — Level 65 (rock type)
- Orthworm — Level 65 (Steel Type)
- Goodra — Level 65 (Dragon Type)
- Pawmot — Level 65 (Electric/Fighting Type)
- Dudunsparce — Level 65 (Normal type)
- (Whichever starter interprets yours) — Level 66 (Grass/Dark, Fire/Spirit, or Water/Fighter type with Grass, Fire, or Water terra form)
Fortunately, Nemon’s team is mostly one-type, so you can plan some good counters for him. Most of her team is weak against ground and melee types. Lycancroc, Orthworm, and Dudunsparce share a weakness to combat, for example, but Orthworm can also be destroyed by earth and fire. Steel can also handle Lycancroc, but is best for Goodra. If you don’t have a reliable steel type, Ice will work just as well here. If you want to get fancy and make the final showdown more exciting—and why wouldn’t you—then store your starter in their Terra Form to take on Nemona’s final Pokémon.
