Yes, you need all eight badges to battle the elite four in Pokemon pearl.
Collect ALL eight badges.
An elite four is four elite Pokemon trainers who, after you get all eight badges, should be waiting to face you. These are four of the strongest trainers you will battle, unless there is a fifth person (rival) who you will have to face one after another with no Pokemon centers or poke marts.
