3The third Elite Four member is Flint, who uses Fire-type Pokémon. He's tougher than Aaron and Bertha, so make sure your Pokémon team is healed up before challenging him. His Houndoom, Rapidash and Flareon are slightly easy to beat, while his Infernape and Magmortar are slightly hard to beat. All of his Pokémon are commonly weak against Water-type and Ground-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 55 before taking him on.

4The fourth Elite Four member is Lucian, who uses Psychic-type Pokémon. He's even harder to beat than Flint, so make sure your Pokémon team is healed up before challenging him. His Bronzong is hard to beat, but is weak against Fire-type moves. His Mr. Mime is easy to beat, while his Alakazam, Gallade and Espeon aren't, but they're all commonly weak to Ghost-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 57 before taking him on.

5Before you challenge the Pokémon Champion, Cynthia, make sure your Pokémon team is healed up and you have everything prepared. The only thing that changes in Platinum is her Pokémon. She now has a Togekiss, rather than a Gastrodon. She still has her other Pokémon from Diamond/Pearl. All of her Pokémon (except Roserade) are hard to beat. Her Spiritomb has no weakness, so you're going to have to hit it with your strongest attack. Her Garchomp, Togekiss and Roserade are commonly weak against Ice-type moves. Her Milotic is weak against Electric-type and Grass-type moves. Her Lucario is weak against Fire-type, Fighting-type and Ground-type moves. Get your Pokémon team around Level 60 before taking her on.
