And also don't forget take some backup items Revive x7 (can replace by Revival Herb x 5 with cost more but revive 100% hp), Hyper potion x15 (can replace by Energy roots x15 at Goldenrod Basement with cheaper price), Leppa Berry x10

The more level of your pokemon team, the less buying for backup items

E4 Team

 

• Will • Gengar lead with using Shadow Ball for Brozong and Gardevoir, and Dark Pulse for others. Sometimes, Mega Alakazam can outspeed your pokemon, so just give up Gengar for dying and then using Gyarados with Bounce or Clefable with Thunder Wave and then Moonblast for kill

 

• Koga • Gyarados lead with using using Dragon Dance 5-6 times at the beginninng, and then using Bounce for Toxicroak and Mega Beedrill, and using Ice Fang for others. Alternatively, Gengar lead with using Thunderbolt for Skuntank and Mega Beedrill, and Psychic for others

 

• Bruno • Gyarados lead with using using Dragon Dance 5-6 times at the beginninng, and then using Ice Fang/Aqua Tail for Mega Lucario, and using Bounce for others. Alternatively, Gengar lead with using Thunderbolt for Mega Lucario and Psychic for all team

 

• Karen • Gengar lead with using using Thunderbolt for Weavile and Absol. After that, switch to Gyarados with using 5-6 times at the beginning of Spiritomb, and then using Aqua Tail for Mega Houndoom and Ice Fang for others

 

• Lance • Gyarados lead with using 5-6 times at the beginning, and then using Aqua Tail for Charizard, Bounce/whatever moves for Gyarados, and then Ice Fang for others. Alternatively, Gengar lead with using Thunderbolt for Charizard and Gyarados, and Shadow Ball for others. Backup: except Charizard and Gyarados, you can use Ice Beam of Clefable for beat all team dragon

You will need you hyper potion for keep Gyarados alive before reach to max dragon dance

It just the suggestion and you can use Gengar with Psychic instead Gyarados for Bounce then

P/s: Updated guide for you also

I solo'd Lance with my Gengar, all of his Pokemon kept using earthquake which was completely ineffective to it as I had levitate. :Cool:

[Tenshimoru]

For lance all you need is tbolt on gengar for first two then shadow ball the last 3 to death
