During Pokémon GO, the Halloween Cup is running in PvP mode. We will show you the best Pokémon and reveal strategies to consider when building teams.
This is the Halloween Cup: On October 26 at 10:00 PM German time, the Halloween Cup in Pokémon GO starts. Around the big Halloween event, you can battle in this cup until November 3 at 10:00 PM German time.
Only Pokémon with Great League level are allowed – they can have a maximum of 1500 CP. Additionally, only the types Poison, Ghost, Bug, Dark, and Fairy are allowed. This means some top Pokémon are excluded.
The best Pokémon for the Halloween Cup
We paid attention to the following: Of course, we will only present Pokémon of the above-mentioned types here. You can use these in the Halloween Cup. We made sure they have different movesets and can withstand a lot of damage, which is especially important in the PvP system.
We present you 11 top Pokémon for the Halloween Cup, along with their movesets:
- Venusaur with Vine Whip, Floral Healing, and Mud Bomb
- Castform with Weather Ball, Leaf Tornado, and Stone Edge
- Garbodor with Counter, Sludge Bomb, and Night Slash
- Beedrill with Poison Jab, Mud Bomb, and Leaf Tornado
- Flapple with Dragon Breath, Body Slam, and Play Rough
- Alolan Marowak with Fire Spin, Bone Club, and Shadow Ball
- Umbreon with Last Resort, Foul Play, and Psychic
- Alolan Muk with Last Resort, Sludge Bomb, and Dark Pulse
- Gyarados with Air Slash, Foul Play, and Aerial Ace
- Sableye with Dark Pulse, Shadow Sneak, and Foul Play
- Azumarill with Bubble, Ice Beam, and Play Rough
Considerations for team building: You don’t have much choice with the types. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that you choose different types that also have distinct attacks.
It won’t help if you have 3 Dark-type Pokémon that, while having different attacks, are all weak against the same types.
Once you’ve played a few rounds, you’ll also get a good sense of which Pokémon are commonly used. Build your team based on that. Which monsters that you can use can take down the popular Pokémon?
Good examples of versatile Pokémon are:
- Azumarill is a Fairy and Water type, but it is primarily regarded as a strong Water attacker. Additionally, it learns an Ice attack, which can effectively target several types.
- Garbodor is a Normal and Dark type, but it also learns Fighting and Poison-type attacks. This can surprise and take out some opponents.
You need to have a solid understanding of the types of different Pokémon and know their effectiveness against each other. Only then can you be successful in the long run.
If you’re not that interested in the PvP mode, you can also take advantage of many other bonuses in the Halloween event:
