Best Pokemon Go Retro Cup Teams

Just in case players get overconfident in their PvP strategy, the Pokemon GO Battle League likes to mix things up. The latest special cup with its own set of rules to challenge you to change up your team is the Retro Cup, and you'll need the best Pokemon GO team to win.

Retro Cup Rules for Pokemon GO: Max Out Season

Na Copa Retro, os jogadores só podem usar os tipos originais de Pokemon da geração 1. Os tipos recém-adicionados, incluindo escuro, aço e do tipo fada, não são elegíveis para o copo. As with standard Great League rules, CP is capped at 1500.

A temporada Retro da temporada Max vai a partir de 19 de novembro a 26 de novembro de 2024. Durante esse período, os jogadores devem se preparar para trazer seu melhor Pokémon para o campo de batalha.

Na Copa Retro, os jogadores podem se inclinar para usar seu Pokémon favorito que normalmente pode estar em desvantagem contra os tipos proibidos de escuro, fada e aço. That means Fighting, Ghost, Ice, and Rock types have one less disadvantage to worry about.

That said, anything else goes, so you'll want to build a mixed team to prepare for any of the original types.

How to Build a Strong Retro Cup Team

Since the Retro Cup only excludes a few types, many of the usual PvP considerations still apply. Você quer uma equipe que inclua Pokemon com ataques sólidos e defesa, de preferência uma mistura para que você possa se manter forte quando esses escudos acabarem, mas derrotar seu oponente antes de reivindicar a vitória.

So, building a team for the Retro Cup isn't too dissimilar to what you'd do for a standard League match, save for the type exceptions. Look for your highest-stat Pokemon and consider a strategy that plays to their strengths while filling in for any weaknesses.

It's also worth considering what the popular choices are and planning for them. This time around, Oranguru is many players' favorite choice in the Retro Cup. That means you'd do well to plan for coming up against one.

Suggested Retro Cup Team Combos for Pokemon GO

Players are bringing their best strategy to the Retro Cup, and with so many types available, it's hard to plan for just what you'll face. That said, these combinations have good overall type coverage and strong attacks to give you a fighting chance.

Pokémon	Tipo
Pinsir	Erro
Annihilape	Fighting/Ghost
Dunsparce	Normal

This team leads Pinsir to prepare for the very likely event that you'll go up against the Retro Cup's current favorite, Oranguru. As one of the stronger bug-type attackers in Pokemon GO, Pinsir can help you smack it down by leaning into its only type weakness.

Annihilape e Dunsparce seguem, trazendo alguma cobertura do tipo sólido para qualquer situação, graças à combinação de luta/fantasma e à digitação normal geralmente abrangente. If you haven't managed to evolve an Annihilape yet, Primeape is still a solid PvP choice here.

Pokémon	Tipo
Oranguru	Psychic/Normal
Dewgong	Water/Ice
Altaria	Flying/Dragon

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. We couldn't leave out a team with Oranguru since it's a popular choice for the Retro Cup for a reason. O Dewgong acrescenta um sólido tipo gelo à mistura, desfrutando da falta de Pokémon de aço, mas você ainda vai querer cuidar de fogo, rochas e adversários do tipo luta. That's where Altaria comes in as a dual Flying/Dragon type that's a bit easier to get ahold of in Pokemon GO than some of the other popular PvP choices.

Pokémon	Tipo
Jumpluff	Flying/Grass
Ursaring	Normal
Arctibax	Dragon/Ice

It may not look like much, but Jumpluff is surprisingly solid in PvP due to its unusual typing and solid moveset. As a Normal type with impressive speed, Ursaring can be a solid safe option so long you're prepared for that weaker defense. Finally, Arctibax makes a strong closer with impressive damage potential to round out this team.

These options provide a few possible, balanced teams to bring into the Pokemon GO Retro Cup this season. That said, this cup is an opportunity to have fun and build up some of your favorites from those original types. You may want to go with Pokemon you've already invested in or pour a little Candy into a personal favorite for this Go Battle League event.
