Two easy ways to beat the Elite Four!!!!!!!!!!!
So if you want the two easy ways please do the following.
1st easy way:If you have a Action Replay just put one hit kills.
2nd easy way:This one is a little bit harder, First battle all of the Elite Four and let all your Pokemon faint. Then on your pokedex look at the Elite Four's pokemon. Then on your poketch where you have the effective macther (you get it from the poketch president) look at the weak points then catch the Pokemon that can beat the Elite Four's pokemon.
Hope this helped for the people who can't beat the Elite Four.
Ps:PLEASE RATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pokemon with Water, Grass and Fighting moves will be useful in gym 1 as Roarak's Pokemon are weak against Pokemon with those type of moves. Be careful of Cranidos as it has a high attack but fortunately also weak defenses, a good Pokemon to have against it is Machop who can defeat it easily.

The Easiest Way To Catch A Roaming Pokemon!
To do this, you must first have gotten the Mini Map Application from the Poketch Creator. Once you have gotten it and have pokemon roaming, it is time to find it! Have the Mini Map Application on your Poketch. Fly to Sandgem Town. Go back and forth between Sandgem Town and Route 202. In no time, the roaming pokemon would soon be in Route 202. This is when you can find/catch it! This trick can be used in Diamond, Pearl or Platinum!
