Best Team For Pokemon GO Catch Cup: Season Of Light

There is no one best team out there that will flat-out stomp any competitor you come up against, unfortunately. A lot of the team building you do for this Catch Cup will depend on the Pokémon you have at your disposal. 

That being said, there are certainly powerful picks out there should you have access to them. The following Pokémon are recommended for anyone able to use them:

• Galarian Stunfisk (Mud Shot / Rock Slide, Earthquake)
• Medicham (Counter / Ice Punch, Psychic)
• Trevenant (Shadow Claw / Seed Bomb, Shadow Ball)

These three Pokémon offer plenty of type coverage along with some powerful, hard-hitting moves. Aside from these three, other Pokémon to consider would be:

• Scrafty (Counter / Foul Play, Power-Up Punch)
• Skarmory (Air Slash / Brave Bird, Sky Attack)
• Umbreon (Snarl / Foul Play, Last Resort)
• Dragonair (Dragon Breath / Aqua Tail, Body Slam)
• Alolan Nintales (Charm / Weather Ball, Psyshock)
• Snorlax (Lick / Body Slam, Superpower)
