Having made your way through Victory Road in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you'll come to the Pokémon League.
Four tough opponents stand between you and the ultimate battle, the first of which is Aaron.
How to beat Elite Four Aaron 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.
Aaron isn't the most difficult of champion Trainers, given he's the first you take on, but you'll still need to be careful of his Drapion, as it has four very strong moves.
Heracross can also prove to be a handful, while Bug-types in general often inflict negative statuses.
Aaron's Team
Level 53
Bug and Poison
Favor Fire, Flying, Psychic and Rock moves.
Level 54
Bug and Fighting
Favor Steel. Also, Psychic, Fire and Fairy moves will work.
Level 53

It is immune to Ground-type moves.
Level 54
Bug and Flying
Repeat the same strategy as with Beautifly.
Level 57
Poison and Dark
Drapion is immune to Psychic. Favor Ground-type moves.
Make sure you heal up and save your game following the fight, and prepare to face Bertha.
