The first member of the Elite Four is Rika, the person who just interviewed you. She specializes in Ground-type Pokémon, so prepare your party order to accomodate that before going through the first door. Grass, Water, and Ice types will be your best bet. Rika will use a Lv. 57 Whiscash, a Lv. 57 Donphan, a Lv. 57 Camperupt, a Lv. 57 Dugtrio, and a Lv. 58 Clodsire. She will Terastallize her Clodsire to a pure Ground Tera Type. This can actually be helpful since Grass-type moves will be super effective still. You won't be able to use Water-type moves against Clodsire, since its ability will just absorb them and regain health instead.

The next member of the elite four will enter your room, so no need to move into the next room like previous games. Make sure to heal up and rearrange your team before approaching the next member, Poppy. Poppy specializes in Steel-type Pokémon. This means you should use Fire, Fighting, or Ground types against her. She has a Lv. 58 Copperajah, a Lv. 58 Bronzong, a Lv. 58 Corviknight, a Lv. 58 Magnezone, and a Lv. 59 Tinkaton. She will Terastallize her Tinkaton so that it has a Steel Tera Type. Fire-type moves are the way to go against her team, since none of the secondary typing protects against them. If you have a Skeledirge with Torch Song, you can probably do a clean sweep of OHKOs against her whole team.

Another Elite Four member will enter the room, this time it's Larry. You'll probably recognize him as the gym leader of Medali gym. This time he will use Flying-type instead of Normal-type Pokémon. This means that Electric, Ice, and Rock types are good choices against him. He uses a Lv. 59 Tropius, a Lv. 59 Staraptor, a Lv. 59 Altaria, a Lv. 59 Oricorio, and a Lv. 60 Flamigo. He will Terastallize his Flamigo so that it is pure Flying-type. Because of the secondary typing of some of his Pokémon, Ice-type moves are by far the best choice.

The final member of the Elite Four, Hassel, will now enter the room. Do any healing and team arranging that you need to before approaching him. He specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon, so Ice, Dragon, and Fairy type move will be super effective. He uses a Lv. 60 Noivern, a Lv. 60 Dragalge, a Lv. 60 Flapple, a Lv. 60 Haxorus, and a Lv. 61 Baxcalibur. He will Terastallize his Baxcalibur so that it is a pure Dragon-type Pokémon. Ice-types will once again do a lot of heavy lifting here. Once you have defeated him, you'll officially have passed the Elite Test portion.

After defeating the Elite Four, you'll have your Pokémon healed for you. Go ahead and go through the to start your Champion Assesment, which is of course a battle with Pokémon League Champion Geeta. She has a well balanced team and doesn't specialize in any particular type. She uses a Lv. 61 Espathra, a Lv. 61 Avalugg, a Lv. 61 Kingambit, a Lv. 61 Veluza, a Lv 61 Gogoat, and a Lv. 62 Glimmora. She will Terastallize her Gimmora to be a Rock Tera Type. While there is no way to get a simple type advantage against all of her Pokémon, Fire-types are super effective against half of her team. Skeledirge in particular has even more advantages depending on his moveset.
