I love Acerola's smiling face through this. There she is just smiling and swaying from side to side while killing off my team like it's some kind of joke
The Alolan Elite 4 is way different from other regions. For one they are brand new since the region never had a league. And two, you actually get to know these guys much better before battling them, unlike other elite 4s from other regions where the first time you meet them is at the league. So you actually have a connection. The only member that is like the other regions' elite 4 is Kahili but hey she's quite strong, but my Toucannon is always better than hers!
I think Kahili added a kind of balance to the E4. You have the characters you know on your travels, but you also have this elite and powerful trainer that has come back to Alola to face you. It really makes it feel like the people gathered there are the region's elites.
Scarlet and Violet's Elite 4 basically copies this pattern, and it's one of my favorite E4 groups so far. You've got Larry and Hassel who you already know quite a bit about, and then you've got Rika and Poppy who you've met, but you don't really know that much about. Also, all of their typings were very unexpected. Even the guy who you've fought before changes their type to something completely different.
I like this a lot more than the sword and shield one. this one gives you the feeling that your facing an incredibly powerful trainer, and that they could easily flatten your team.
I honestly do not understand how people can hate SUMO/USUM when it has THIS to offer, truly one of the best Elite Four themes to ever grace this humble platform
@@3literdieselengine264 okay that's just wrong lol Like gen 7 is fantastic but gen 5 had absolute bangers. Like c'mon how do you beat Neo plasma's battle theme and zekrom/reshiram's themes (they're different btw)
*Unpopular opinion* Elite 4 battles would be much better if each member would use two types instead of just one like normal gym leaders because it would add way more possibilities and variety in their teams! :-)
Kanto Elite Four defacto specializes in two types each: - Lorelei: Ice and Water - Bruno: Fighting and Rock - Agatha: Ghost and Poison - Lance: Dragon and Flying
I always thought that the E4 and gyms should have a "theme" like using a certain strategy or something.. And the Champions should be like Cynthia and Leon, powerful, type balanced teams.. Because some of the Gym Leaders are very exploitable if you have one or two pokes with type advantage
@@ksoundkaiju9256 I wouldn't necessarily say that's the case. Only 2 gym leaders and 2 E4 members don't have Pokemon of their respective type (Candice has Medicham, Volkner has Octillery, Aaron has Drapion although its pre-evolution IS bug type, and Flint has Lopunny and Drifblim.) This was only the case because of the much smaller and less diverse regional dex, which was fixed in Platinum.
Dhelmise: posessed seaweed that 1 hit ko wailords Palossand: Living sand castle that hypnotize ppl to make itself bigger. Also have dried-up bones of its victims are buried beneath him. Frosslass: Freeze ppl and pokemon and use then as decoration. Also its favorite food is man souls. Sableye: Steal ppl souls with its gems. Drifblim: Carry ppl and pokemon, just to dissapear later in the sky. messed up enough?
This was such a great elite 4 song! I was very pleased when I got to the Pokemon league and faced them down. I was also very very happy with the Gym leader/Kahuna theme too. It's my favorite gym leader theme in the series. Though I was VERY VERY disappointed with the champion theme in Sun and Moon. It was waaaaaayyyyyyy too fucking upbeat and happy for the damn battle to determine Alola's first Champion!! It sucked if I'm going to be frank.
@@andrewvincent7299 I disagree. Champion’s battle themes don’t always have to be intense, like Iris’s in Black/White 2. It’s a celebration or “let’s have one last hurrah” and I enjoyed it.
darkmentalmaster I don't feel the same, I feel that they horribly botched up the opening and as a whole it feels too repetitive. Something that wasn't a problem with the E4 theme from OR/AS or X/Y. It's not garbage (like May/Brendan's theme), but it's IMHO above average, though this is after playing Super Mystery Dungeon so the standards have gone up.
@@QueenMuser i put the "Who the hell are you" part as a joke because we've already met others in the Elite 4 except for Kahili, who we are now just seeing for the first time.
I already knew who Kahili was because after I got that ride thing where you can break rocks I was snooping around at that one mountain place and found the flying Z thing and she just appeared out of no where then did a little dance and walked away
Can't forget about Kahili's Sturdy Skarmory, as well has Olivia's Sturdy Golem and Probopass, which leads them to use full restores. These, and the fake outs made me hate grinding here since it was just so much stalling.
***** Nope, ghost type. Her main Pokémon is Gengar, the only ghost type Pokémon family in gen 1. Then she got Misdreavus in FRLG in her rematch. Her battlefield is also graveyard-like too.
I remember hearing this for the first time and being blown away. Being able to choose which Elite Four member to battle was a new experience to me and it was amazing seeing each Elite Four member in their respective rooms
The sound is wonderful! Thank you very much for uploading these soundtracks for us trainers to appreciate and recall our favorite moments in Pokemon Sun and Moon! If it is possible, I would like to request Routes 1, 2, 4, 10, Ancient Poni Path, and Vast Poni Canyon. You see, I plan to go jogging with these soundtracks and the Sun and Moon soundtrack gives that vibe of adventure! Thank you once again!
I think I might buy the Japanese CD Soundtrack instead, though not right away at the moment. I do not have an iPhone device of any kind. I'd much prefer to have a physical copy of any media regarding music. I would have much more freedom to do whatever I would please by getting high quality rips from the CD as MP3s and then sending it all to my phone, granted it is more expensive than iTunes.
Acerola is adorable, Hala's a badass, Olivia is awesome, but Kahill is just sorta there. Everyone else has already been battled before, but you don't even SEE her before this point. I legit think the last time I heard about her before the Elite 4 was when she was vaguely mentioned in the demo. She's just... she's just there.
If you actually explore the hotel next to the beach I think on the second Island you'll find her father owns the place and everyone talks about her. But tbh honest I explored it post-game and was like wtf Is Kahili when I saw her in her Elie 4 room. I thought she was Burnet at first glance lol
There's a huge golf course near Hano beach that you can't even explore. I assume you were meant you meant to meet Kahill there, but GF forgot about it, or decided to cut it due to time restraints or whatever.
The Elite Four music has always been my favorite soundtrack in the Pokémon series, with this one released, I think my number 1 favorite is a tie between the Unova one and the Alola one
So I guess I have to fight all of the kahunas again as elite four members and-wait, Acerola? Ok, guess Nanu was just being a lazy bastard. I should get prepared for my rematch with Hapu and-Kahili!? WHO THE HELL IS THIS!?
A pro golfer, apparently. Also, an Island Challenge Champion, from what I can recall. Guess Kukui felt that Hapu might be too inexperienced to act as an Elite Four? Or, more likely, she didn't want to be Elite Four, but was willing to take a shot at Champion. I dunno, I haven't faced her during a title defense yet, I have no idea what she says.
Alarak They're actually not related. In Hawaii, it's a common practice to call people your aunt/uncle as a term of endearment. Hau also starts calling the main characters mother Aunty in the post-game. It's still really cute though that they share a Pokémon.
I think I can say officially that Nanu and Acerola are my favourite characters in sun and moon. I like Nanu's stone-cold personality -(And the rape smile he gives you)-, which kinda reminds me of myself in certain situations. Acerola, on the other hand, is a bubbly and happy child, which I honestly just love about her! -And I find Nanu sexy, but that's irrelevant-
@@weirdoticmakekrookodileimp4160 I haven't played the original gen 2 since I still had contact with my half brother. But I remember it not being great.
I think its safe to say that Acerola is now everyone's favorite elite 4 member because she's adorable and nobody likes Kahili and her grumpy looking toucan.
Hala is the best elite 4 member because he really is a kahuna and i dislike kahili because she's here almost out of the blue (people talk about her twice in the game)
Acerola and Kihili took me off guard completely because I expected Nanu and Hapu. Nope. Gotta say though so glad Acerola was part of the Elite Four she's my favourite character in Sun/Moon.
I was actually scared to face against Nanu because 3/6 of my team was ghost and one was psychic. But once I found that it was Acerola then I was glad to see bestgirl again.
I think we all expected the Kahunas to be the Elite Four, meh, Acerola was annihilated by my Stoutland so wasn't much of a deal, Kahili was swept by my Lycanroc and that's my Elite Four first run
I'd like to see E4 rematches with randomized applicable Pokemon (example, Acerola can choose 6 of any decent ghost-type in the national dex), so that battles are not the same when making another run through.
Its just fitting that the last member of the E4 that i decided to fight was Acerola , her pokemon are soo messed up and that froslass was annoying as hell. She's still Cute though
Every time i see Acerola do one of her poses i hear "tutturu~~", she's seriously adorable. I rolled her face in the mud wish Ash-Greninja tho, 5 dark pulses and a water z move against palossand.
Welcome to the Elite Four, home of the ever-original fat fighting type specialist, the rock type... whatever you wanna call her, the ghost type Loli Girl, and that one trainer you have no idea who the hell she is. ALOLA IS AWESOME!
+Kameron Brooks It kind of is different, because this one was all people you met on your adventure and then Kahili shows up and you're like... Who the F is this person? It's because she's the odd one out.
I'm just glad we got a flying type E4 member. Also how many E4 member did you actually get to know before arriving at the Pokemon league in past generations?
I feel like people now realize if acerola had a mimikyu, beating her would NOT Be possible, s’why I named my Mimikyu, Mimi, and it did seriously well, died second hit though
Beating her wouldn't be that challenging even with mimi You know mold breaker exists as an ability and it bypasses disguise Or you could just break it and floor mimikyu with your ghost type maybe with sinister arrow raid from decidueye
The riff starting at 0:14 reminds me so much of the Story 5 Meeting song from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (the remix of which was in Super Smash Bros Melee on the FE stage). Yeah that song is so ingrained in my memory by now that I couldn't help but think of it.
You know what I love about S/M Elite Four is that it gets PERSONAL these are people you have fought and won against, and here they are for a rematch and they aren’t messing around this time
Lol many people did. But it figures we'd get someone else due to his stand-off-ish and "no fucks given" personality, he could care less if he could be an E4 member. Plus, he's obviously at that age of life where you want to do absolutely nothing but live in peaceful retirement. Unfortunate for him.
Maybe. The the trailer in the demo actualy revealed her as an elite four. Before I played the game, I was like "Oh cool! So they're still going to have an elite four!" And knew that Acerola was going to be one of them. When she showed up as a trial captain instead I was confused. And even moreso when Kukui said the kahunas were going to be the E4. But it all made sense in the end because Nanu is just a lazy fuck.
Manic I would've liked that better, except replace Dhelmise or something. this is a tiny bit off-topic but I think it would've been cool if someone specialized in Double Battling in the game; first you beat them in a typical single battle but can revisit as many times as you want afterwards and rematch in Double battles. the pokemon will almost never remain the same with some exceptions. they will only change out for new ones when you effectively learn to shut down the particular strategy being used. that after beating them each time, would give you good pointers (legitimately useful in online and VGC battles, for those who care about the latter), definitions of Sweepers, Stallers, etc, and give out items such Focus Sash, Leftovers, Quick Claw, and Sitrus berries; I dub these as beginner items because they are straightforward in their uses and you don't need to do anything fancy to make them work as intended. I was just thinking too that it would be cool to have Doubles as an option in the Elite 4 or Champion after defeating them the first time as well. *shrugs. well wishful thinking, anyway. they already have the characters - both important and standard trainers - using legitimate strats; hell even a wild Pinsar will Swords Dance twice and try to one shot everything if I'm not careful.
One of my favorite tracks from the game. If it weren't for how awesome the music was, I wouldn't have nearly as much fun fighting the elite four and their addiction to full restores

I love how Acerola is in the elite four because her uncle, Nanu is just too damn lazy to become one and rejected their offer.
Mohi Uddin Ooooorrr... he didn't want to disrespect Tapu Bulu for choosing him as the Kahuna and rejected the offer
Skull DSG But Hala is a kahuna too.
Nanu and Acerola aren't related.
Jason Ramirez, Nanu is Acerola's uncle...
Zeta He's not her uncle, she just calls him like that because he's older than her
I get the feeling that if Acerola didn't have Dhelmise, then very few people would've even found out it existed.
Carl ikr, there's only one spot you can find it, it's in the steelix boat fishing spot in seafolk village
Ikr! When I first saw it, I was like,"What the heck is that thing, and WHAT IS ITS TYPING!?!?!"

The Dark type and Ghost type specialists both use Sableye....I approve!
Triforce Metroid makes sense since they are related.
Alarak They're actually not related. In Hawaii, it's a common practice to call people your aunt/uncle as a term of endearment. Hau also starts calling the main characters mother Aunty in the post-game. It's still really cute though that they share a Pokémon.
Awkward Pikachu well I think they are unofficially family in a same way drayden and Iris are family even though they are obviously not related
Alarak Yeah that's what I mean, they're obviously really close - Family, but not by blood.
I think I can say officially that Nanu and Acerola are my favourite characters in sun and moon. I like Nanu's stone-cold personality -(And the rape smile he gives you)-, which kinda reminds me of myself in certain situations. Acerola, on the other hand, is a bubbly and happy child, which I honestly just love about her!
-And I find Nanu sexy, but that's irrelevant-
That slapped extremely hard when I was 12 and still does 4 years later
I was just like: "Oh no, I forgot to buy some Revives"
+MudFan I forgot to buy healing items period. I barely made it out alive.
Same
I am guessing that acerola would make good friends with the equally ghost kawaii elite 4 member phoebe
Richard Walker Indeed.
Phoebe is her sister.
John Skauge No.
Phoebe does have a Hawaiian design. It's not out of the question that could natively be Alolan.
angeldude101 Acerola's skin isn't tanned but rather yellowish, not to mention she's technically the Princess of Alola, a title Phoebe would have had.
I was purposely under leveled here and it fit so well
Joe Laviano 12 Fucking levels behind club
yyy-yay?
yep.. its totally a theme that shows u what TRUE FEAR IS
I'm forever hypnotized by Acerola's adorable idle stance, best girl.
or when shes doing the z move, my new profile picture lol
Dragn0va King Acerola, the ghost type Elite Four that would never be forgotten. (Unlike that Alola wannabe from Hoenn)
Phoebe (I looked that up on Serebii, even though I played Omega Ruby)
DMD00 Oh. My. God. IKR!
Yep best girl
You guys might not have noticed, but each elite four only used two native Alolan Pokemon.
Oh...hmm...I'll just take your word on that. Nice eye.
Maybe they just used two gen seven pokemon each, but their whole teams can be caught and trained in game.
Ryan Jones What I meant by native is that the Pokemon can only be found in Alola and nowhere else.
because alola its pretty influencied by kanto and unova
Pixeljaba
Don't forget about Johto. Remember Malie City of Ula'Ula Island?
I FREAKING love Acerola
Best elite 4 theme. You can't change my mind.
This is the first time i actually enjoy the elite four
Gen 5:
@@weirdoticmakekrookodileimp4160 gen 6: ;)
I liked gen 5, gen 1, and gen 4. The others are just a slog.
Dragon Tamer 447 gen 2?
@@weirdoticmakekrookodileimp4160 I haven't played the original gen 2 since I still had contact with my half brother. But I remember it not being great.
Acerola: OwO
Me: Awwww!
Acerola: Sweeps my team
Me: *Screams in Ultra sun*
0:00 ok, it sounds cool so far...
0:15 HOLY SHITAKE MUSHROOM THIS IS EPIC!!!
Listening to this soundtrack makes the battle more like a fight to the death.
This is by far the highest quality of this track and actually does it justice.
I think its safe to say that Acerola is now everyone's favorite elite 4 member because she's adorable and nobody likes Kahili and her grumpy looking toucan.
i like kahili over acerola, but thats just my opinion
Timothy Grayson Each to their own no one can say otherwise.
...........I like Kahili.....
***** Well yeah, having opinions is one of the most important things in this world and everyone always wants to silence them.
Hala is the best elite 4 member because he really is a kahuna and i dislike kahili because she's here almost out of the blue (people talk about her twice in the game)
acerola on screen the entire time = based
my fav part of this theme is at 0:40 where it just builds up the tension
Am I the only one who was surprised to see Acerola as an elite four member?
Clearly not, me three years ago.
The Great Green Banana Nah I was too. I was expecting Nanu and when I saw her I was like f$&@ my team doesn't deal with ghost too well
+XIII That my innocent organization member, is why you have a Stoutland on your team with Crunch
Acerola and Kihili took me off guard completely because I expected Nanu and Hapu. Nope. Gotta say though so glad Acerola was part of the Elite Four she's my favourite character in Sun/Moon.
I was actually scared to face against Nanu because 3/6 of my team was ghost and one was psychic. But once I found that it was Acerola then I was glad to see bestgirl again.
I think we all expected the Kahunas to be the Elite Four, meh, Acerola was annihilated by my Stoutland so wasn't much of a deal, Kahili was swept by my Lycanroc and that's my Elite Four first run
Thus song is so powerful. It feels like you're battling the unknown and whatever could happen.
Glad they got rematches but i wish they could have gotten upgraded teams. I would have loved to see acerola with mimikyu on her team
I'd like to see E4 rematches with randomized applicable Pokemon (example, Acerola can choose 6 of any decent ghost-type in the national dex), so that battles are not the same when making another run through.
There was something cute about seeing the Pokémon League. I dunno, it was so new, and it was truly something worth waiting for.
Best "elite 4's" theme
I love how Acerola is just standing there swaying with an innocent smile on her face as she one-shots my whole team.
Its just fitting that the last member of the E4 that i decided to fight was Acerola , her pokemon are soo messed up and that froslass was annoying as hell.
She's still Cute though
Every time i see Acerola do one of her poses i hear "tutturu~~", she's seriously adorable. I rolled her face in the mud wish Ash-Greninja tho, 5 dark pulses and a water z move against palossand.
Indigo Starlight who's your first? im kinda torn between mallow and lillie .
no surprise there ...
i was just glad that she didn't have her mimikyu on her team
the last time I saw that thing, it destroyed me..
Of course i am cute, but say anything about my froslass again your dead
ahhhh.. the sweet sounds of the song i had to listen to OVER AND OVER AGAIN
The first challenger of a region's brand new elite four, definitely deserves this theme.
I love this game’s soundtrack so much
Welcome to the Elite Four, home of the ever-original fat fighting type specialist, the rock type... whatever you wanna call her, the ghost type Loli Girl, and that one trainer you have no idea who the hell she is. ALOLA IS AWESOME!
Every Gen has at least one elite 4 member that you haven't seen or really heard about until you face them, this is no different.
+Kameron Brooks It kind of is different, because this one was all people you met on your adventure and then Kahili shows up and you're like... Who the F is this person? It's because she's the odd one out.
DarkMagolor She was in the Grand Hotel I believe, I remember talking to her once.. never did I think she'd be become an E4 member lol
+BlackOutCannon I thought she was there after you beat the E4.
I'm just glad we got a flying type E4 member. Also how many E4 member did you actually get to know before arriving at the Pokemon league in past generations?
0:40 - 1:00 this part is so goooood aaaaaaaaaa
Acerola is very cute thanks for featuring her
this some crazy good bop material, change my mind
when I first heard this I thought it was odd but compared to the other elite 4 battle themes and the time u actually battle them
it fits so well
Everyone talking about Acerola when no-one acknowledge my girl Froslass
I feel like people now realize if acerola had a mimikyu, beating her would NOT Be possible, s’why I named my Mimikyu, Mimi, and it did seriously well, died second hit though
Wtf my mimikyu was named that too!
Beating her wouldn't be that challenging even with mimi
You know mold breaker exists as an ability and it bypasses disguise
Or you could just break it and floor mimikyu with your ghost type maybe with sinister arrow raid from decidueye
Imagine having to fight her with her actual mimikyu from the anime...
You mean the one that couldn't hurt a Gengar with Shadow Claw?
came back to this song after almost 5 years. I have so much good memories listening to this song and playing sun and moon.
“Welcome to the Pokemon League! Now get out."
My god this theme is frightening,especially when it hits those high notes
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not a single soul:
Acerola: ^w^
The riff starting at 0:14 reminds me so much of the Story 5 Meeting song from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (the remix of which was in Super Smash Bros Melee on the FE stage). Yeah that song is so ingrained in my memory by now that I couldn't help but think of it.
I hate you so much because I Will never be able to hear this song the same way again lmao
While none of these battles were that difficult, this music is so intense and amazing and I love it
Sun and Moon had awesome soundtrack dude
Acerola is adorable...but I can hide my unease over the fact that I think she has a cleft palate...
:3 she is kitty ghost
Now I can’t unsee that
This theme is sooo freaking intense I ❤ it
Olivia: The Queen
Hala: The King
Acerola: The Princess
Kahili: The “Chosen One"(?
Kahili: *The royal golfer*
I really love that ominous build up at the beginning leading into the song.
You know what I love about S/M Elite Four is that it gets PERSONAL these are people you have fought and won against, and here they are for a rematch and they aren’t messing around this time
first elite 4 with more girls than guys lol
edit: so over 2k likes for stating the obvious, cool
Riygan Angerlich OMG SEXISM AND MATRIARCHY AND STUFF
DolanDominates what
The opposite of Sinnoh. One old man and 3 young ladies.
Riygan Angerlich OLD HALA IS HERE TO MAKE ALL THE LADIES HOLLER
It's changed now. The swapped the old guy for a younger one.
I love how sorta ominous this theme is :D
i still stand by my statement when i say gen 5 has the best music, but god damn this songs a banger
Almost two years already?
Time surely flies...
This E4 got me off-guard and i lose.
Why does this guy have dislikes? He doesn't deserve it, his content is amazing.
This made me memories of the incredibly long credits.
Am I the only one who was surprised to see Acerola as an elite four member?
The Great Green Banana I wanted Nanu
Lol many people did. But it figures we'd get someone else due to his stand-off-ish and "no fucks given" personality, he could care less if he could be an E4 member. Plus, he's obviously at that age of life where you want to do absolutely nothing but live in peaceful retirement. Unfortunate for him.
Carlos Polk plus he's still a cop
Maybe. The the trailer in the demo actualy revealed her as an elite four. Before I played the game, I was like "Oh cool! So they're still going to have an elite four!" And knew that Acerola was going to be one of them. When she showed up as a trial captain instead I was confused. And even moreso when Kukui said the kahunas were going to be the E4. But it all made sense in the end because Nanu is just a lazy fuck.
TheForgottenCherish lol he may be considered a lazy fuck now, but if you play a certain post game event, you actually learn some of his background.
I was suprised she didn't have a Mimikyu. She just reminds me of that Pokemon everytime I see her. Maybe replace that Sableye :/
Manic Mimikyu is the Totem Pokemon of her Ghost-type trial. I guess they didn't want to overlap that.
Bathroom disasterbypolnareff I suppose not
Manic I would've liked that better, except replace Dhelmise or something.
this is a tiny bit off-topic but I think it would've been cool if someone specialized in Double Battling in the game; first you beat them in a typical single battle but can revisit as many times as you want afterwards and rematch in Double battles. the pokemon will almost never remain the same with some exceptions. they will only change out for new ones when you effectively learn to shut down the particular strategy being used. that after beating them each time, would give you good pointers (legitimately useful in online and VGC battles, for those who care about the latter), definitions of Sweepers, Stallers, etc, and give out items such Focus Sash, Leftovers, Quick Claw, and Sitrus berries; I dub these as beginner items because they are straightforward in their uses and you don't need to do anything fancy to make them work as intended. I was just thinking too that it would be cool to have Doubles as an option in the Elite 4 or Champion after defeating them the first time as well.
*shrugs. well wishful thinking, anyway. they already have the characters - both important and standard trainers - using legitimate strats; hell even a wild Pinsar will Swords Dance twice and try to one shot everything if I'm not careful.
who's talking shit about ma boy sableye
Manic I was waiting for the shiny Mimikyy from the anime to come but I was disappointed
One of my favorite tracks from the game. If it weren't for how awesome the music was, I wouldn't have nearly as much fun fighting the elite four and their addiction to full restores
Even if I didn't like Kahili much, I must admit;
That is some damn nice hair.
