Why does lorelai leave the elite four

Machamp also holds a Sitrus Berry to restore health. Bring in your strongest Psychic type. However three of them are Ghost types which sort of counters that weakness. Her first Gengar is arguably the more powerful one, despite being at a lower level, although her strategy is to frustrate you rather than use raw power.

Using Double Team , Confuse Ray and Toxic is a very irritating combination and the near-unavoidable Shadow Punch makes it even more annoying. Haunter has a fairly good moveset. You'll need to watch out for Poison Fang's side effect as it deals a severe poison damage similar to Toxic. Agatha's second Gengar is not as annoying as the first, but it does have more powerful attacks consisting of Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb.

This Gengar also knows Hypnosis and Nightmare. One might think that Dream Eater would be a better choice of move, but this Gengar has a Sitrus Berry to restore energy. Hyper Beam is its deadliest move, although it requires recharging after it's used.

Gyarados also knows Dragon Rage which always takes away 40 HP. Twister and Bite are weak but can cause flinching.

Lance's two Dragonair are identical in every way except one of them knows Dragon Rage and the other knows Thunder Wave. Their other moves are Hyper Beam, Outrage and Safeguard. Safeguard is fairly pointless as they both have the Shed Skin ability to dispel status afflictions, and it can't protect them from Outrage's confusing side effect.

It also has Ancient Power , which has a decent chance to raise its Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack and Special Defense all at the same time, and if it does Aerodactyl will be much more of a threat. Its remaining moves are Wing Attack and Hyper Beam.

He also has a Sitrus Berry to restore health. Use Electric, Rock, or Ice moves to exploit its weakness. Rydon's Rock Head ability nullifies the damage that Take Down would usually inflict. Alakazam is very fast and its techniques are quite deadly. Psychic can decimate almost any opponent at this point in the game since you can't get Dark types until after you've beaten the Elite 4. Green then orders her Clefable to use Minimize to steal Lorelei's voodoo dolls, which Blastoise breaks away. Green seemingly loses her arm in the process, but it turns out that the "arm" was actually her Ditto.

After this battle, Lorelei is defeated and leaves the Elite Four. When Team Rocket threatens to lay waste to the islands if she doesn't hand over the heroes, she proves unwilling to cooperate with anyone who'd harm the environment, and with no hesitation sides with the heroes in this battle.

Lorelei's appearance has varied over the years. In the original games Red, Blue, and Yellow , anime, and manga she is purple-haired. In the manga and original games, she wears a black dress, while in the anime she wears a black skirt, a red shirt, and a blue jacket.

All incarnations portray Lorelei with her hair in a ponytail and with glasses on her face. Zager Butch Cassidy Dr. Sebastian Pierce Manga only: Lt. Team Skull Guzma Plumeria Gladion. I found this and thought that it would be helpful. To my big disapointment, it wasn't. I got all the gym badges, but i can't go into the Elite Four.

How do I?!?! This girl just says,"I am so sorry, but you've wasted your time getting here. Lorelei of the Elite Four is absent, you see. As a result the Pokemon League is closed for the time being.

I've got all the 8 badges ages ago and is frustrated over the fact that I can't complete the game without defeating the Eilte Four. I've given Celio both stones. But it's easy to see how a lot of players back then wouldn't have necessarily known how to deal with Dragonair and Dragonite due to their rarity. And, Freeze mechanics were downright scary back then--No thawing without healing items or getting hit with a Fire move.

Better hope you stocked up on Full Heals! Again, you're applying the standards of later games to 15 year old ones. Joshawott said:. Champion Red Pokemon Trainer. Joined May 11, Messages Reaction score 4. Fine, you win--Lorelei was the weakest, most useless trainer in existence and didn't deserve to exist, let alone be in GSC. She wasn't worth the spit on Youngster Joey's Rattata, let alone serious trainers like Bruno. There, happy? Now, leave me alone.

Same goes for you, Bolt the Cat. Lufenium 1 Wooloo Fan. Joined Apr 10, Messages 2, Reaction score 2, I assume they weren't in the Johto games to help highlight the changes that they brought to the series and the timeskip between the generations.
