Starting in Generation V, all members of the Elite Four (except in remakes) use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order. Prior to Generation V, the Elite Four typically progressed in level with their Pokémon in the games. In Generation II, they use Max Potions, and from Generation III onwards, they use Full Restores. In the games, they use strong medicine items in battles. Three more groups reside at the Pokémon Leagues in Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos.

Another group is located in Ever Grande City in Hoenn, while another is located on Mount Lanakila in Alola. One group resides at the Indigo Plateau in Kanto and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and Johto. To become Champion, Trainers must face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight Badges from that region (or, for Trainers in Alola, must have completed all of their island challenge trials). The Elite Four (Japanese: 四天王 The Big Four) are four Pokémon Trainers who are regarded as the toughest in their regional Pokémon League, just short of the Pokémon League Champion.
