The Pokémon GO Holiday Cup: Little Edition is almost here! Following a two-week Fantasy League, this new challenge demands a strategic shift. With new rules and a CP cap of 500, trainers must craft innovative teams using only Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, and Normal types. This limited type pool, coupled with the low CP restriction, necessitates building entirely new battle squads.
Holiday Cup: Little Edition Rules (Dual Destiny Season)
The Holiday Cup: Little Edition runs from December 17th to December 24th, 2024. The key limitations are the 500 CP cap and the restricted type selection (Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Normal).
Crafting Your Winning Holiday Cup Team
The challenge lies in finding suitable Pokémon under 500 CP that meet the type requirements. Evolved Pokémon often exceed this limit, making typical meta strategies less effective.
Smeargle, previously banned, is a significant wildcard this year. Its ability to copy moves, including Incinerate and Flying Press, presents a formidable challenge. Counter-strategies are crucial.
Suggested Team Compositions
Several team options are presented below, keeping Smeargle's potential in mind. Remember, these are suggestions; your best team will depend on your available Pokémon.
Team 1: Combating Smeargle's Strengths
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
![]() |
Electric/Fighting |
![]() |
Flying/Water |
![]() |
Fire/Ghost |
This team offers diverse typing and counters Smeargle. Pikachu Libre's Fighting type quickly handles Normal-type Smeargle; Ducklett and Alolan Marowak provide additional advantages against Grass and Fighting subtypes. Skeledirge is a viable Alolan Marowak substitute.
Team 2: Embracing the Smeargle Meta
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
![]() |
Normal |
![]() |
Rock/Ice |
![]() |
Flying/Water |
This "if you can't beat them, join them" strategy uses Smeargle's move-copying ability. Ducklett counters Fighting types targeting Smeargle, while Amaura provides Rock-type coverage.
Team 3: Underdog Lineup
Pokémon | Type |
---|---|
![]() |
Flying/Ground |
![]() |
Fairy/Grass |
![]() |
Fire/Ghost |
This team features less common Pokémon with strong type coverage. Litwick handles Ghost, Grass, and Ice types; Cottonee offers powerful Grass and Fairy moves; and Gligar provides advantages against Electric types and Fire-type resistance.
Remember, these are just suggestions. Experiment to find the team that best suits your Pokémon and your playstyle. Good luck in the Holiday Cup: Little Edition! Pokémon GO is available now.
