Four tough opponents stand between you and the ultimate battle, the third of which is Flint.

How to beat Elite Four Flint in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

When it comes to facing the Elite Four, you're going to have to use your full team. It's a big step up from the Gyms, which you can easily stomp, and Elite Four Pokémon are all going to be above level 50.

As such, it's worth taking the time to train your Pokémon, teach them moves via TM, and generally try to have a spread of types in your party.

While he focuses on Fire-type Pokémon, his team only actually contains two of that type.

Rapidash and Infernape should be easy enough to beat with Water-type Pokémon, for example, but Steelix hits hard and is incredibly tanky, Drifblim is the super-annoying Ghost-type, and Lopunny can run through any team weak to Fighting-type moves.

Rapidash

Level 58

Fire

Favor Water, Ground and Rock moves.

Lopunny

Level 57

Normal

Immune to Ghost, you should favour Fighting moves.

Steelix

Level 57

Steel and Ground

Fire, Water, Fighting and Ground moves will be effective.

Electric and Poison moves will have no effect.

Drifblim

Level 58

Ghost and Flying

Drifblim is very tough. Favor Electric, Ice, Rock, Ghost, and Dark moves.

Don't bother with Normal, Fighting, or Ground moves as they will have no effect.

Infernape

Level 61

Fire and Fighting

Favor Water, Ground, Flying or Psychic moves.

Make sure you heal up and save your game following the fight, and prepare to face Lucian.
