The Pokémon GO Holiday Cup: Little Edition is here! Running from December 17th to 24th, 2024, this cup introduces a 500 CP cap and restricts Pokémon types to Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, and Normal. This creates a unique meta, requiring strategic team building.
Crafting a Winning Team:
The lower CP limit and type restrictions necessitate a shift in typical strategies. Many evolved Pokémon are excluded due to higher CP. Smeargle, previously banned, returns, posing a significant challenge with its move-copying ability. Consider these factors when building your team.
Suggested Team Compositions:
Here are three sample team builds, offering diverse type coverage and counter-strategies for Smeargle:
Team 1: Versatile Coverage
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
| Pikachu Libre | Electric/Fighting |
| Ducklett | Water/Flying |
| Alolan Marowak | Fire/Ghost |
This team utilizes dual-typed Pokémon for broader coverage. Pikachu Libre's Fighting type counters Normal-type Smeargle, while Ducklett and Alolan Marowak provide additional type advantages. Skeledirge is a viable Alolan Marowak substitute.
Team 2: Embracing the Smeargle Meta
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
| Smeargle | Normal |
| Amaura | Rock/Ice |
| Ducklett | Water/Flying |
This team incorporates Smeargle, leveraging its move-copying potential. Ducklett counters Fighting types targeting Smeargle, while Amaura offers Rock-type coverage.
Team 3: Underdog Powerhouse
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
| Gligar | Ground/Flying |
| Cottonee | Grass/Fairy |
| Litwick | Ghost/Fire |
This team features less common Pokémon. Litwick excels against Ghost, Grass, and Ice types. Cottonee provides strong Grass-type attacks, and Gligar offers advantages against Electric types and Fire-type resistance.
Remember, these are suggestions. Adapt your team based on your available Pokémon and play style. Good luck in the Holiday Cup: Little Edition! Pokémon GO is available now.
