We don’t know how many times we have reset a Pokemon game because we thought we had it beat. The Elite Four was tackled, our version of the perfect Pokemon team evolved and trained, and in most cases caught all the Legendaries. However, we got older and learned that we had been playing it wrong the whole time. Especially with the more recent games that offer three times as many side activities as the original RBY Pokemon games.
So, what do you do after you beat the Elite Four? Well that is a good question that doesn’t have only one answer. Let’s face it, there are dozens of things you can honestly do with a Pokemon game after you have taken down the Elite Four.

Now we are talking about Pokemon. There are over 700 Pokemon in some of the games, and more than 800 to date. This leaves you with plenty to do while you discover new ones. You might even make some new favorites and form some new teams.
The Perfect Pokemon

EV training your Pokemon, teaching them the right moves and breeding them for peak conditions in order to win every battle is only the beginning with this optional after game task. You must formulate a proper strategy to overcome the opponents perfectly trained Pokemon.
