At the end of Victory Road, the Kalos League stands like a cathedral. Its four members each embody a French cliché: the TV presenter, the head chef, the knight and the Gaul. You face them in the order of your choice, before the League Champion.

👥The Elite Four members

Wikstrom, the Steel specialist

A knight who speaks as if he were in the Renaissance. His Aegislash switches between Shield Forme and Blade Forme: hit it when it attacks. Scizor fears only Fire, but fourfold.

Malva, the Fire specialist

A Holo Caster presenter and a member of Team Flare, she resents you for making Lysandre fail. Her whole team fears Water, Ground and Rock.

Drasna, the Dragon specialist

She grew up with the legends of Sinnoh, at her grandparents’ home in Celestic Town. Ice and Fairy clean house, except against Dragalge, which is Poison and Dragon and does not fear Fairy.

Siebold, the Water specialist

A head chef and art lover. Electric hits Gyarados four times as hard, and Grass hits Barbaracle four times as hard.

👑Diantha, the League Champion

An internationally famous actress, Diantha is also the strongest Trainer in Kalos. You ran into her at Café Soleil and in Coumarine City without suspecting a thing.

Her Gardevoir Mega Evolves. Mega Gardevoir is very powerful on the special side, and its four moves, Moonblast, Psychic, Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt, cover almost everything. A hard-hitting Steel Pokémon such as Bisharp, Scizor or Lucario is the best answer.
