Elite Four Member #4: Karen - Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

Elite Four Member #4: Karen - Dark

Karen has five Pokemon; Umbreon, Vileplume, Gengar, Murkow & Houndoom.

Umbreon

Level: 42

Types: Dark

Ability: Synchronize

Attacks: Double Team, Confuse Ray, Faint Attack & Payback

Weakness: Fighting & Bug

Strategy: I recommend starting with a Pokemon with a  Berry, as Umbreon will more than likely use Confuse Ray on its first turn. Umbreon is fast but isn't the heaviest hitter, use a Fighting Type Attack to defeat it quickly.

Vileplume

Level: 42

Types: Grass/Poison

Ability: Chlorophyll

Attacks: Stun Spore, Petal Dance, Acid & Moonlight

Weakness: Psychic, Ice, Fire & Flying

Strategy: A hard hitting Ice Type Attack is going to work the best, something like Blizzard, watch out for Stun Spore.

Gengar

Level: 45

Types: Ghost/Poison

Ability: Levitate

Attacks: Focus Blast, Destiny Bond, Spite & Lick

Weakness: Psychic, Ghost or Dark

Strategy: A fast Ghost or Dark Type Attack is going to work best, I recommend burning it as Destiny Bond other wise will kill your Pokemon as well as Gengar.

Murkrow

Level: 44

Types: Dark/Flying

Ability: Super Luck

Attacks: Sucker Punch, Pluck, Whirlwind & Faint Attack

Weakness: Electric, Rock & Ice

Strategy: Ice Types are going to work the best, a solid STAB Ice Move, like Ice Beam will work a treat.

Houndoom

Level: 47

Types: Dark/Fire

Ability: Flash Fire

Attacks: Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower & Crunch

Weakness: Fighting, Rock, Ground & Water.

Strategy: You need to defeat Houndoom with a quick Water or Fighting Type Pokemon, as Nasty Plot will make Houndoom a beastly sweeper.
