The Pokémon GO Holiday Cup: Little Edition is here! Running from December 17th to 24th, 2024, this event introduces a 500 CP cap and restricts Pokémon to Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, and Normal types. This creates a unique meta, demanding strategic team building.
Holiday Cup: Little Edition Rules:
Crafting Your Winning Team:
The lower CP limit and type restrictions necessitate careful team composition. Consider Pokémon with effective movesets within the allowed types. Evolved Pokémon are often above the CP cap, so focus on lower-level options.
Smeargle, previously banned, is a significant threat this year, capable of copying powerful moves. Counter-strategies are crucial.
Suggested Team Combos:
Here are three sample team compositions to counter Smeargle and other potential threats:
Team 1 (Anti-Smeargle Focus):
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
Pikachu Libre | Electric/Fighting |
Ducklett | Water/Flying |
Alolan Marowak (or Skeledirge) | Fire/Ghost |
This team utilizes dual typing for broader coverage. Pikachu Libre's Fighting type counters Normal-type Smeargle, while Ducklett and Alolan Marowak provide further type advantages.
Team 2 (Embrace the Smeargle Meta):
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
Smeargle | Normal |
Amaura | Rock/Ice |
Ducklett | Water/Flying |
This team incorporates Smeargle, using Ducklett's Flying moves to counter Fighting types targeting Smeargle, and Amaura for Rock-type coverage.
Team 3 (Underdog Strategy):
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
Gligar | Ground/Flying |
Cottonee | Grass/Fairy |
Litwick | Ghost/Fire |
This team features less commonly used Pokémon. Litwick counters Ghost and Grass types, Cottonee offers strong Grass moves, and Gligar provides advantages against Electric types.
Remember, these are suggestions. Your optimal team depends on your available Pokémon and playstyle. Good luck in the Holiday Cup: Little Edition! Pokémon GO is available now.
