The Pokémon GO Holiday Cup: Little Edition is here! Running from December 17th to 24th, 2024, this limited-time event introduces a 500 CP cap and restricts Pokémon types to Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, and Normal. This creates a unique meta, demanding strategic team building.
Holiday Cup: Little Edition Rules:
- CP Cap: 500
- Allowed Types: Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Normal
- Dates: December 17th - 24th, 2024
Crafting Your Winning Team:
The lower CP cap and type restrictions significantly alter the typical Pokémon GO meta. Finding suitable Pokémon under 500 CP is key. Smeargle, previously banned, is a major contender this year, its ability to copy moves making it a formidable opponent.
Team Suggestions:
Here are three sample team compositions to counter Smeargle and other potential threats:
Team 1:
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
Pikachu Libre | Electric/Fighting |
Ducklett | Water/Flying |
Alolan Marowak | 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 additional type advantages. Skeledirge is a viable Alolan Marowak substitute.
Team 2 (Smeargle-centric):
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
Smeargle | Normal |
Amaura | Rock/Ice |
Ducklett | Water/Flying |
This strategy embraces the Smeargle meta. Ducklett counters Fighting types targeting Smeargle, while Amaura provides Rock-type coverage.
Team 3 (Underdog Team):
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
Gligar | Ground/Flying |
Cottonee | Grass/Fairy |
Litwick | Ghost/Fire |
This team features less common Pokémon. Litwick's Ghost/Fire typing excels against Ghost, Grass, and Ice types. Cottonee offers strong Grass-type moves, and Gligar provides advantages against Electric types and Fire-type resistance.
Remember, these are suggestions. Your optimal team depends on your available Pokémon and play style. Good luck in the Holiday Cup: Little Edition! Pokémon GO is available now.
