The best Elite Four order in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk

Once you enter the Terarium in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk, you’ll have to face off against Blueberry Academy’s Elite Four. You can fight them in any order, which may bring back memories of stumbling into difficult fights early in the base game. Is there an order you should take on the Elite Four in The Indigo Disk?

Long story short, there’s no best order to fight the Elite Four in The Indigo Disk. Playing on my endgame save file, each of the trainers used roughly the same level Pokemon. Drayton might be a little stronger than the others, but not by enough of a margin to really matter. So from a gameplay perspective, go in whichever order you want. Just make sure your team is prepared, since these encounters are a bit harder than what you’d find in the base game.

How to fight the Elite Four in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk in the canon order

Now, as much as this doesn’t really matter, the game does lay out a recommended order to fight the Elite Four in. On your map screen, you’ll notice that the descriptions of each trainer shows their rank in the Blueberry League. This gives us a hierarchy of how strong each trainer is relative to each other. Following this, the Elite Four order in The Indigo Disk is Crispin, Amarys, Lacey, then Drayton. Kieran is of course Rank #1 in this order, but you’ll only unlock the battle against him once you defeat the others.

In other words, if you’d feel weird taking out higher-ranking Elite Four members before others, go in the order above. That said, I can’t stress enough that they’re all roughly the same in terms of difficulty. Go wild, have fun, and do the Flying Time Trials to stock up on some BP.
