The majority of Pokemon are not eligible to compete in the Single-Type Cup: Great League Edition, making it hard to choose a battle team. That’s why we’ve put together the best trio of Pokemon for you!
The best team to use in the Single-Type Cup: Great League Edition is:
- Machamp
- Registeel
- Cofagrigus
While Machamp and Registeel are GO Battle League staples, Cofagrigus is a left-field choice. However, it is perfect for resisting Fighting and Normal-type Pokemon, which dominate the Single-type Cup: Great League Edition and can deal a lot of damage!
However, there are plenty more Pokemon that can be effective in this GO Battle League tournament. These are our top 10 picks and their strongest attacks:
| Pokemon | Image | Type | Fast Attack | Charged Attacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machmap |  | Fighting | Counter | Cross Chop Rock Slide |
| Cofagrigus |  | Ghost | Shadow Claw | Shadow Ball Dark Pulse |
| Registeel |  | Steel | Lock On | Focus Blast Zap Cannon* |
| Vigoroth |  | Normal | Counter | Body Slam Bulldoze |
| Wobbuffet (XL) |  | Psychic | Counter | Return (Purified Wobbuffet only) Mirror Coat |
| Haxorus |  | Dragon | Counter | Breaking Swipe* Night Slash |
| Machoke |  | Fighting | Karate Chop | Cross Chop Dynamic Punch |
| Falinks |  | Fighting | Counter | Superpower Megahorn |
| Dragonair |  | Dragon | Dragon Breath | Aqua Tail Body Slam |
| Lurantis |  | Grass | Fury Cutter | Leaf Blade Superpower |
All of these Pokemon can help you get plenty of wins and climb the rankings so you can earn all of the GO Battle League rewards in the Season of Hidden Gems.
Any Pokemon with an (XL) next to its name requires XL Candy to get up to 1500 CP.
Meanwhile, attacks with stars (*) next to them are exclusive. This means that you’ll need an Elite TM to teach them to a Pokemon.
