Ruin: I suggest you use an Electric like Luxray (it’s a good in-gamer), Magnezone (can learn Magnet Rise, which will dodge Ground for 5 turns. SO useful, since its 400x effective), or Electivire (can learn Earthquake and other strong offensive moves), and a strong Pokemon like Weavile that can learn Dark/Ice moves that’ll be useful against a lot of Cynthia’s team.

Pie: Lucario > Ice. It’s part Fighting. Use your heavy Fire moves from Aaron, Ground or Fighting type moves.

I liked the challenge of the elite 4 in Platinum, i never played diamond or pearl but i found this group to be tough

I used:

Empoleon Lvl 56
Moves: Bubblebeam, Cut, Ice Beam, and Brine

Garchomp Lvl 50
Moves: Dragon Rush, Dragon Claw, Dig, and Slash

Giratina Lvl 55
Moves: Shadow Claw, Ancient Power, Dragon Claw, Heal Block

Azelf Lvl 51 ( i didn’t raise him much because i just needed him to take out Ryperior, golem, and hippo, you’ll see why by looking at his moves)
Moves: Swift, Grass Knot (potent attack to heavy Ground/rock types) Future Sight, and Extrasensory

Staraptor Lvl 54
Moves: Fly, Aeriel Ace, Brave Bird, Close combat

Luxray Lvl 54
Moves: Crunch, Bite, Thunderfang, and Spark

It also took a few revives and hyper potions.

Ruin -You can pick whoever you want. That’s the great thing about Pokemon: there is no bad team. I would suggest an electric type and something with Dark, Ice, or Psychic moves, if not one of those types to give you a balanced team though.

hi! I just compleated pokemon platinum with only EMPOLEON!! you can do this also if you train him to level 84, and have him learn Icebeam, Bubblebeam, (defog, not nessissary) and rock climb also not nessissariy, but handy)

honestly!! :) I did it!!

No stratagy for Cynthia?
Meanie.

Spirtomb has no weakness, hit if with a few surfs of something.

Garchomp is level 62. Ouch. Hit it with some good ice moves. Ironicly, hit it with some dragon type moves, too.

Tokekiss is a flying/normal pokemon. Electric moves are good against them.

Lucario’s weakness is ice.. I think, and ground.

Roserade is easily damned by fire.

And milotic can be beat with an electric type move.

Remember, she’s smart. She’ll switch pokemon.

LW – a good ice attack will mow down garchomp as it is Dragon/Ground.

lw – you have a pretty good lineup from what I see. When I first beat this generation of games back with Pokemon Pearl, I had Empoleon, Starraptor and Luxray in my team as well.

Levels aren’t as important as a well balanced team and strong moves. if your team is in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s, you should be able to run through the Elite Four pretty easily.

If you’re looking for a good ghost, to beat Lucian I suggest Mismagius, although a Dark Pokemon like Honchkrow will do just as well. Stay away from the Gengar family if you’re looking for a Ghost Type to beat Lucian as they are part Poison and are thus weak to Psychic.
