Trainers, which type has no shared weaknesses with another Elite Four type?
a) Dark
b) Psychic
c) Fighting
The Pokémon League. The final frontier for many up and coming Trainers. And the site of Team Plasma's final stand.
"Are you ready, brother?" Hilda asked.
"Ready as you are, sister!" Hilbert replied.
"'Events hastened to a climax, as the yin and the yang began to fight.' That's an extract from the novel I'm writing. A challenger from about five minutes ago inspired me to think about this. I wonder how this story will end…"
Hilbert is challenged by Elite Four Shauntal!
Elite Four Shauntal sent out Cophagrigus!
Go! Simipour!
Simipour started with a charge in and Crunch. The blow was powerful to the Cophagrigus, and it fainted with a tuft of energy.
Simipour's Ability became Mummy!
Elite Four Shauntal sent out Jellicent!
Jellicent used an Energy Ball, lowering Simipour's health. Simipour ran up, and used a Crunch to defeat the Jellicent.
Simipour's Crunch became disabled!
"Urgh! Seriously!" Simipour cursed.
Elite Four Shauntal sent out Golurk!
Golurk used a mighty Earthquake, finally defeating Simipour.
Go! Chandelure!
Chandelure used a Shadow Ball, defeating the giant golem.
Elite Four Shauntal sent out Chandelure.
Both Chandelure used a Shadow Ball on each other, negating both. Curious, Hilbert's used a Flamethrower, and Shauntal's a Fire Blast. True enough, Shauntal's Fire Blast made contact.
The power of Chandelure's Fire type moves rose!
Hilbert's Chandelure grinned. Using another Flamethrower, she disabled Shauntal's defences, allowing a Shadow Ball to take out the Chandelure.
Hilbert defeated Elite Four Shauntal!
"'Like a moth to a flame, the ploy worked perfectly…' …Sorry, I was novelising. You must proceed to your next challenge."
"Oh my Landorus! It's been one dude after another! This is not my lucky day…"
Hilbert is challenged by Elite Four Grimsley!
Elite Four Grimsley sent out Scrafty!
Go! Galvantula!
Galvantula opened with a Signal Beam, which did not do as much damage as predicted. Scrafty retaliated with a Sand Attack, messing with Galvantula's Compoundeyes. The second Signal Beam was enough to win, but for how long?
Elite Four Grimsley sent out Liepard!
Hilbert held back a laugh. Using her Compoundeyes, Galvantula managed to get off a Signal Beam that could defeat Liepard easily.
Elite Four Grimsley sent out Krookodile!
Krookodile used an Earthquake on the still-blinded Galvantula, finishing it. A tuft of energy emitted from its jaws. Krookodile's Moxie boosted its Attack!
Go! Drill!
Luckily, there was a defensive option! Drill charged into the ground, leaping from it every so often to avoid an Earthquake. Drill charged into the Krookodile, using a Drill Run to deal enough damage to defeat the Krookodile.
Elite Four Grimsley sent out Bisharp!
Still in the middle of a Drill Run, all Drill had to do was turn around, and continue his rampage. Bisharp put up a defiant resistance, but eventually fell to the Drill.
Hilbert defeated Elite Four Grimsley!
"For every victory, there is a corresponding loss. One must not savour on victory, nor can they wallow in loss. You must fight on."
*Yawn…* "Can't a girl get her beauty sleep without getting interrupted every few seconds? …OK, fine, I'll battle. Just try not to put me to sleep."
Hilbert is challenged by Elite Four Caitlin!
Elite Four Caitlin sent out Reuniclus!
Go! Chandelure!
Chandelure summoned a Shadow Ball, which was hurled at the foe at really high speeds. The gunk was caught by Reuniclus' gunk, and Reuniclus defeated.
Elite Four Caitlin sent out Musharna!
Musharna summoned its own Shadow Ball, which was blocked by Chandelure's. Musharna opted next for the Psychic, which, while doing a lot of damage, did neither win the match, nor block the incoming Shadow Ball.
Elite Four Caitlin sent out Sigilyph!
Sigilyph opened with an Air Slash. The wider shape of the air allowed it to bypass Chandelure's Shadow Ball more readily, and with Chandelure so close to loss as was, it was simple to knock Chandelure down to zero.
Go! Golurk!
Golurk charged forward, using a Shadow Punch. With a tuft of energy, the blow was super powerful in colliding with Sigilyph.
Elite Four Caitlin sent out Gothitelle!
Gothitelle looked about Golurk, as if looking for something. This frisk did nothing to help her cause, as it gave Golurk an opportunity to use a Shadow Punch to megaton effect.
Hilbert defeated Elite Four Caitlin!
"As a Trainer, you excel with elegance. I look forward to doing battle in the future."
"So… you are the people who will be able to defeat N? He has mentioned plenty about you. It is my intent to test your strength… KIAI!"
Hilbert is challenged by Elite Four Marshal!
Elite Four Marshal sent out Throh!
Go! Guardian!
Guardian used a Psychic on the Throh, and an Air Slash on the next Sawk. Both foes fell like dominoes to the ancient guardian of Kasedraru.
Elite Four Marshal sent out Conkeldurr!
Conkeldurr picked up his pillar, and ran straight to Guardian. Throwing the pillar upwards, the Stone Edge attack dealt critical damage to Guardian.
Go! Bao!
Bao used his Acrobatics, and defeated the Conkeldurr past his pillars.
Elite Four Marshal sent out Mienshao!
Mienshao draped himself delicately in his flowing sleeves. He shot forward with a sudden Retaliate. Panickedly, Bao spat a Flame Burst into Mienshao, interrupting the attack. Bao was significantly cheered by this, and was able to do an Acrobatics to win.
Hilbert defeated Elite Four Marshal!
"There is no one way to win every time. But you have found the courage to win several different ways. May you find the way to triumph over evil!"
The correct answer is c) Fighting. No other type in the Elite Four is weak to Flying or Psychic.
Next time, on What is Good, Really?, we fight N. Reshiram meets Zekrom.
