Shauntal uses Ghost-type Pokémon, so Dark and Ghost type moves will be the most effective. She uses a Lv. 48 Cofagrigus, a Lv. 48 Jellicent, a Lv. 48 Golurk, and a Lv. 50 Chandelure. She also have two Full Restores that she will use. If you don't happen to have strong Dark or Ghost type moves on your team, most of her team is dual type so she has plenty of other weaknesses.

Strategy
Grimsley uses Dark-type Pokémon. Fighting and Bug type moves are their only weakness. He uses a Lv. 48 Scrafty, a Lv. 48 Liepard, a Lv. 48 Krookodile, and a Lv. 50 Bisharp. He also has two Full Restores that he will use if given the chance. His Pokémon hit pretty hard, but their dual-typings also expose several weaknesses.

Thunderbolt
Calm Mind
Strategy
Caitlin is a Psychic-type specialist. Bug, Ghost, and Dark types are your best bet against her. She has a Lv. 48 Reuniclus, a Lv. 48 Musharna, a Lv. 48 Sigilyph, and a Lv. 50 Gothitelle. She also has two Full Restores she will use if she can. She doesn't have many dual types, but many of her strongest moves are Electric-type so a Ground/Dark type like Krookodile could do really well in this fight.
Elite Four #4 Marshal
#1 Throh

Ability: Guts
Hold Item: N/A
Moves:
Storm Throw
Bulldoze
Stone Edge 
Payback

#4 Mienshao
Type:
Lv: 50
Ability: Inner Focus
Hold Item: N/A
Moves:
Jump Kick
U-turn
Rock Slide
Retaliate
Strategy
Marshal is a Fighting-type purist. All of his Pokémon are pure Fighting-type so his only weaknesses will be to Flying and Psychic type moves. This makes Sigilyph a great choice for this battle. He has a Lv. 48 Throh, a Lv. 48 Sawk, a Lv. 48 Conkeldurr, and a Lv. 50 Mienshao. He also has two Full Restores that he'll use. The one thing to watch out for is that all of his Pokémon know a Rock-type move, so if you are relying on a Flying-type he will have some strong super effective moves on you.
