I've actually defeated the Elite 4 in a rematch after getting 16 badges. The first time I nearly lost ('cuz my Poke's were like 20 levels under than Lance's), and the second time I had to use my Sacred Ash b'cuz I had run out of Revives and potions. While training to fight Red, I fought Lance and Clair in the Double Battle at the Dragon Den, where I fought Lance's level 75 Dragonite (Machamp was level 60!). Later, I defeated Red's level 88 Pikachue with my level 65 Sandlslash, which absoultely amazed me.
