Steel Gym Leaders are Pokémon Trainers that specialise in the training and battling with Steel Type Pokémon. They proved their ability and have become leaders of a City Gym. The Elite Four are four trainers who are considered the best in their region and some specialise in Steel Pokémon.
Throughout the Pokémon game series, players have to defeat Gym Leaders before challenging the Elite Four and finally the existing Champion in order to win the games. Within the games, a number of Gym Leaders, Elite Four members and two Champions use Steel type Pokémon.
To have the best chance of defeating Steel Gym Leaders and Elite Four, the player’s team should include those Pokémon types that are strong when attacking Steel types – Fire, Fighting and Ground type Pokémon or those that are resistant to attack by Steel types – Electric and Water types.
Detailed below is a complete Steel Champion, Elite Four and Gym Leaders list, with information about that Trainer and the Pokémon they typically use in battles.
