Complex Crystal is literally "everything on the next route is arbitrarily one level higher than what came before", if you did not catch that.
My only memory of it was that I was crazy enough to not have a good special attacker that could learn ice moves, and the Elite 4 was "make several runs to see how far you could get" "grind once you've determined that" "one day you'll beat Lance." Though I don't think ice moves would have magically saved me that trouble. It was fun other than that, the Elite Four just takes much greater advantage of how much higher the AIs levels will always be.
