Recommended Teams

Same strategy as gyms. Torkoal sets sun with Drought, Archeops uses Tailwind, then Typhlosion pair spam Eruption in sun. Works for ~80% of League battles.

Pokemon	Niv.	Moves	Item	Nature	EVs	Role
Torkoal	100	Explosion	Heat Rock	Adamant	Atq / Def. Spe	Sun setter. Explodes turn 1.
Archeops	100	Rock Slide, Tailwind, Sandstorm, Head Smash	Wide Lens	Adamant	Vit / Atq	Tailwind turn 1 then dies. Rock Slide as backup.
Typhlosion	100	Eruption, Flamethrower	Choice Specs	Modest	Atq. Spe / Vit	Main attacker. Spam Eruption.
Typhlosion #2	100	Eruption, Flamethrower	Choice Scarf	Modest	Atq. Spe / Vit	Second attacker. Faster with Scarf.
Blastoise	100	Water Spout, Hydro Pump, Rain Dance	Choice Scarf	Modest	Atq. Spe / Vit	Backup for Fire/Water E4 members.

Pokemon	Niv.	Moves	Item	Nature	EVs	Role
Torkoal	100	Explosion	Heat Rock	Quiet	Atq / Def. Spe	Sun + Explosion turn 1.
Cottonee	1	Tailwind	Rocky Helmet	-	-	Priority Tailwind then dies (level 1).
Typhlosion	100	Eruption	Choice Specs	Modest	Atq. Spe / Vit	Main attacker.

Your Typhlosions MUST have Blaze ability, NOT Flash Fire. If an opponent has Flash Fire, it absorbs Eruption.

Chain all 5 regions' Elite Four on the same day for maximum earnings.
Battle Points can buy rare items (Ability Capsule, exclusive TMs) at the Battle Frontier.
Heal between members if needed. The League has a Pokemon Center at the entrance.
Typhlosion MUST have Blaze, never Flash Fire. Some E4 members have Pokemon with Flash Fire.
Activate your Amulet Coin/Charm right before entering the League, not during preparation.
