The Sinnoh Pokémon League is a castle-like building on the island at the top of Route 223, past Victory Road. Once you hold all eight Badges you face the Elite Four in a fixed order and then Champion Cynthia; Barry also stops you for a battle in the lobby before the first room.

Tips

  • The Elite Four specialise in Bug (Aaron), Ground (Bertha), Fire (Flint) and Psychic (Lucian); Champion Cynthia's ace is a Garchomp.
  • Stock up at the combined Pokémon Center and Poké Mart in the lobby; you can't go back to a Pokémon Center between Elite Four rooms, so bring plenty of healing items.
  • You need Surf and Waterfall to travel up Route 223 to reach the League.
  • The lobby combines a Pokémon Center and Poké Mart, plus access to the Wireless Club and Wi-Fi Club.
  • A guard only lets you into the Elite Four wing once you have all eight Sinnoh Badges.
