Later on, Kahili's damn bat killed Trillium (Air Slash was a OHKO because Schooling doesn't reform after healing, which is bullshit). Even later, Hala's damn yeti crab killed Mimulus the Passimian (bullshit crit Ice Hammer on the way in). After Olivia went smoothly (as smooth as it could, anyway), Kukui's damn snowy nine-tailed fox killed Rose the Oricorio (Blizzard) while his damn Rath from the Ben 10 franchise killed Yarrow the Decidueye (Fire-type Z-Move from Flare Blitz). Even in the successful revenge run, the mermaid sea lion killed Bamboozle the Pangoro with a cheap crit Moonblast (winning Revenge team was Toonie the Incineroar, Fluffball the Whimsicott, Maudé the Mudsdale, Outlette the Electivire, and Wingading the Pelipper).

Everyone hates on Kahili, but I'm gonna give her due credit. Her non-involvement in the story aside, her innovative use of Flying types surprised me. The last thing I expected was entry-hazards, confusion, and flinch-stalling as her main techniques. Worthy of the Elite Four, in my opinion.

(Despite Ultra Sun & Moon being a scam) A lot of the music from the game is super underrated, and the Story was pretty good! And even the characters are great, even with Acerola having the biggest forehead known to Whatever-kind. Despite the weird graphics, I think the visuals were a lot better than most other modern pokemon games. So pretty cool games honestly.

It's odd how Gen 7 is my second favorite gen, I need to play the Alola games more.

[@MariOmor1]

Gen 7 is not just a great generation. It's the best. It has incredible battle themes, including USUM. The character development is comparable to that of N and Hugh, especially Gladion and Lillie. The characters treat you like friends, not like someone who stands in their way from victory. The graphics pushed the 3DS to its absolute limit. In short, no other Gen can top 7 for me. I guess b2w2 and SwSh are up there, but not as special as Sun and Moon.

[@nastylittlehobbitses4799]

I think its more that you get to know these characters over the course of the game, so the elite four feels personal, then kahili feels out of place amongst a lineup of characters youve had lasting impressions of. She wouldnt feel out of place if there were a completely seperate lineup of e4 members just like any other pokemon game. But sometimes change is good, and i like the direction the series is going in with making the e4 closely tied to the journey youve just gone on, and now the greatest of the foes youve faced are mounting one last assault before you reach the top.

I honestly was *NOT* ready for this. When I went to face Gladion at the bottom of Mount Lanakila and then Hau at the summit, I was genuinely surprised at how strong they both had become. I didn't beat them without losing at least one of my team members. Now the Alola Elite Four? Let me break down just how fucked up these guys left me after each battle. 1. Hala- Utterly decimated my entire team besides my Decidueye and Lycanroc. His Bewear was a freaking nightmare for me. Let me repeat that. *Hala left me with only 2 Pokémon after I managed to beat him.* 2. Olivia (wife, I love Olivia so much)- Her Lycanroc outsped a lot of my vital team members including my own Lycanroc so taking it down was a matter of playing my cards right, healing at the right time and attacking at the right time. The rest of her team put up a good fight, especially her Probopass. Olivia kept overriding my Milotic's Rain Dance with Sandstorm and whenever I tried to attack using Hydro Pump, she'd have Probopass use Thunder Wave and slow down my Milotic majorly. I was down to 3 Pokémon once I managed to defeat Olivia. 3. Acerola- Tried taking advantage of my Lycanroc and Arcanine both knowing Crunch, but most of her Pokémon outsped them both (Which, might I add, *were my FASTEST POKÉMON*) so I once again had to play my cards right and not just rely on type advantages. Down to 4 Pokémon once I defeated her. 4. Kahili- Her setting up with Spikes through her Skarmory was incredibly smart and crafty. None of my Pokémon were airborne so I had to put up with damage all around my team, and she was definitely not a pushover. Down to only my Lycanroc when I managed to defeat her. All this while this intense, powerful, fast-paced, and utterly badass Elite Four theme is blaring through my 3DS's speakers. *Well fucking done, Game Freak.*

Cool team. But I didn't know how to transfer Ash Greninja into my game until after I beat the game.

[@normiegasser544]

Why is everyone complaining about not meeting the flying girl you never meet most of the elite fours I think people are just trying to find something to hate on

[@sonicthehedge]

NormieGasser Ikr all elite fours are forgettable, aleast these are easily more rememberable as most of them are part of the story.

[@hobos7491]

[@NinSega89]

Kahili doesn't even smile, what's more is there to add?

[@purplechase]

Unova's elite four, Hoenn's elite four, Kalos's elite four (minus 1), Johto's elite four and Kanto's elite four (I think Loreli appears once but thats it)

Was I the only one who actually had a tough time with the elite four and champion, and in general the game?

[@blues4509]

WhiteNebula not at all, toughest pokemon game since the gen 1 days imo

[@deatheagle4656]

I used atleast 12 revives during the elite 4. And on the champion I lost my entire team by the time his 3rd pokemon was thrown out. By far the hardest league in years. (My pokemon were heavily under-leveled)

[@sentientviolin7802]

Toughest Pokemon game since Gen 1 for me, and Gen 1 was hard due to balance issues!

[@eeeeggnog._.]

I had a hard time with some of the Totem Pokemon, namely Lurantis. I didn't have any problem with the E4 and Kukui though. This was probably my best team or something, cause I'm like the only person who doesn't think the E4 was hard.

[@John_Smith5]

Totem wishiwashi was difficult because of that damn heal pulse but yeah the elite four definitely got harder (Thank God)

[@MrMadness1]

I was so shocked at how surprisingly difficult this game was.

[@mauriciojs6527]

Mr Madness thought I was the only one.

[@toofunnyfr]

Wasn't THAT difficult. The only hard part for me was the trial with Mallow and her damn Lurantis. Other than that, the game wasn't too hard. It was the gen 4 games that really shook me. Hgss, DPP... Yeah..

[@clovera]

Eh. You found Gen. 4 more difficult because you were younger then, simple as that. Whitney's Miltank, Cyrus, Cynthia's Garchomp, post-game Barry, Red's team--their 'mons all have 0 EV. For comparison, Hau's Alolan Raichu has full EVs (special attack + speed) and spams Psychic by mid-game. The second battle with Lusamine near the end likewise has a team with full EVs in addition to essentially having a free stat boost like the totems. And Sun/Moon happens to do this not in incremental steps, but goes all-out very early on (Ilima, Sina's Glaceon, Dexio's Espeon, the trials etc.). Someone who is playing through Pokemon for their first time ever is going to have far more trouble with gen. 7 than they will with any other gen.

[@clovera]

Like I said, I'm telling people to approach this question through the lens of a total beginner. You and all the others are trying to make a rebuttal using personal anecdotes--completely pointless.

[@thibautbottu6065]

I don't know, if I was a total beginner, I think Sun and Moon would be the easiest games in the series. With the rival getting the Pokémon with the disadvantage, the experience share option, the game telling you what's super effective and what isn't... Plus there's always an abundance of catchable Pokémon with the type advantage before every Island Challenge.

[@SinisterPixel]

I'd say Kahili was my favourite elite four memeber. She was the only one who had any place being there IMO. The others we'd already battled at some point or another so we already knew what they'd be running (even Mo in USUM I felt like had no place in the elite four). She comes out of nowhere like "I finished my island challenge and left Alola to become stronger, now I'll show you how strong I am". This is what the elite four should have been. Trainers who'd finished their trials, beat all the captains, and proved they were stronger than all of them. Especially since the professor mentioned the Kanto elite four creamed him. Surely he'd want trainers he knew were strong enough to take on those guys.

[@VezixHaikal]

she left alola for golfing, people talk about her that she's the daughter of one the resort with golf field,

[@SparkstarScope]

I love how badass this theme sounds. The Alola E4 ain't fucking around, and the song fits just well. Also, for those commenting on Acerola looking so tame in comparison to the others, just remember her main Pokemon type and you'll realize how menacing that smile can be.

This theme’s vibe is in complete contrast to the island kahuna themes, the theme is genuinely intimidating, making sure the player knows these people are ready to kick your butt.

I think this is the best Elite Four in any pokemon game ever: The best Elite Four theme since the B/W Elite Four Theme. Great character designs Acually decent challenge for once!

Love this. Sounds pretty dark and serious. Then again I don't think we've had a bad Elite Four theme so far. Unova, Hoenn and even Kalos all had really good themes for them.

[@radmaster9403]

I like the Kalos theme, but it's not on par with this one, Unova, and Hoenn in my opinion.

[@Lance012012]

Agreed, Kalos' Elite Four theme is good, but Unova and Hoenn are my favorites (I love Sinnoh, Johto and Kanto as well but those are basically just the Gym Leader themes, with a lowered pitch in Sinnoh's case). Gonna take some time to decide how this one fares against the rest, but I like it so far.

[@anonymousmonkey9491]

Tbh, when Kahili is praising you, her facial expression makes her look quite pissed, like she's only praising you since it's part of the job application.
