Best Pokemon Team to Use in the Weather Cup

We recommend using Cradily, Lanturn, and Regirock in the Pokemon GO Weather Cup.

While there is no definitive ‘best’ team, Cradily seems to be the most powerful Pokemon in the Weather Cup, and pairing it with Lanturn and Regirock makes for a well-balanced team.

Although, you’ll want to know how to earn XL Candy fast in Pokemon GO as you’ll need it to power up two of these Pokemon, as well as some of the other great options for the tournament.
