Elite 4 experience and strategy

[Solist]

Hello,

 

I don't play that much anymore, and am too much of a scrub to actively participate in competitive play. So whenever I log on, I often just try to beat any of the E4's as fast as I can for as little cost possible. This became somewhat of an innocent but interesting challenge for me after Baton Pass got nerfed. It's not hard to beat the level 100 E4's, but can you make it a (somewhat) profitable alternative to most of the other, mostly boring, money making methods?

 

I finished some 250 runs, and found some strategies that bring me predictable results and nice chunks of money/BP without it costing too much time. I have no doubt that there are better approaches though, making me curious what you guys came up with.

 

In short: what is your strategy to milk E4 runs?

 

Cheers!

 

PS: If It's interesting for you guys, I will add my strategy for beating E4's. But I feel I might be the only nerd interested in this :P
