The Pokemon GO Summer Cup: Great League Edition limits what types of Pokemon you can use and has a 1500 CP limit, making it hard to choose your battle team. Luckily, we’ve got the best lineup for you!
The best team for the Summer Cup: Great League Edition is Pidgeot, Vigoroth, and Diggersby.
The most powerful Normal-types dominate the Summer Cup, as very few eligible Pokemon can counter them. Moreover, Pidgeot, Vigoroth, and Diggersby have several powerful attacks of different types, making them a great team that can take you to plenty of wins.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any of these Pokemon though, there are plenty of other great choices.
