Why do the Elite Four's Pokemon not get stronger in rematches?

2 minute read

Their Pokemon are the same level and they still only have 4

Nobody but Game Freak knows this.Either Game Freak wanted it this way, or there wasn’t enough free data space on the cartridge to input data for 5 new trainers(E4 + champion).

However, if you want a challenge, you can go the Battle Chateau. Once the rank of Duke/Duchess is achieved, theElite Four will begin to go to the Chateau,but with only three Pokemon. A Red or Black Writ of Challenge will increase the levels of their Pokemon to above what they were before. If you achieve the rank of Grand Duke/Duchess, Diantha will also appear and you can use the same writs to increase her Pokemon’s levels to above what they were before.

Also, the Elite Four in Kalos(for the most part)have higher leveled Pokemon in their Elite Four than their Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova counterparts due to how late you face them in the game. Let’s take a look at their Champions and their highest leveled Pokemon on their first runs:

Blue (R/B/G)Level 65Blue (Yellow)Level 65Lance (G/S/C)Level 50Steven (R/S)Level 58Wallace (Emerald)Level 58Blue (FR/LG)Level 65Cynthia (D/P)Level 66Cynthia (Platinum)Level 62Alder (B/W)Level 77Iris (B2/W2)Level 59Diantha (X/Y)Level 68

So, besides Alder, Diantha has the highest leveled ‘signature’ Pokemon than any other champion.(Alder has higher leveled Pokemon due to the fact N interrupts your initial battle).

It may be because the Pokémon in the Kalos Pokémon League, who belong to the Elite Four and Champion are the highest-level Pokémon out of all the different Pokémon Leagues.

The Kalos Pokémon League contains the highest-level Pokémon initially battled at any Pokémon League, with the Elite Four and the Champion’s strongest Pokémon being at levels 65 and 68, respectively.

It may also be because the Elite Four can be challenged in any order.

In Generations V and VI, all members of the Elite Four use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order.
