Best Jungle Cup teams in Pokémon Go

We’re just over halfway through the Pokémon Go Tales of Transformation season, and as we barrel towards Halloween and some fun new events, we also have the Jungle Cup to look forward to. So, we’re breaking down the best teams for the Jungle Cup in Pokémon Go to get you ready for the battle.

Best Pokémon for the Jungle Cup Great League in Pokémon Go

Much like other takes on the Pokémon Go Great League, this Jungle Cup demands your Pokémon have a CP of 1500 or below. Plus, only Pokémon with the Normal, Grass, Electric, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, and Dark-type Pokémon are allowed. Finally, the Pokémon Gligar and Galarian Stunfisk are banned.

One of the most powerful Pokémon in this cup is Altaria (Dragon Breath, Sky Attack, Flamethrower), as the Flying-type works great against Grass and Bug-type Pokémon, while Dragon brings a good suite of resistances. Sky Attack here helps put pressure on Pokémon like Forretress and Scizor, while Flamethrower helps to tackle the constant threat that is Corviknight.

If you want to run Altaria, one of the best teammates is Cradily (Acid, Rock Tomb, Grass Knot). This Rock and Bug-type fossil Pokémon can use Acid to threaten Fairy-type Pokémon like Togekiss, while Rock-tomb actually helps take out opposing Altaria and the aforementioned Corviknight. Not to mention, Rock-type moves are a massive problem for Talonflame.

Finally, a good way to round things out is with the ever-reliable Clodsire (Poison Sting, Earthquake, Stone Edge), as the Paldean Poison-type is also a Ground-type, and has a fantastic set of resistances. Earthquake, especially, is always a powerful move, but it is even deadlier with that STAB bonus, causing huge problems for Steelix.

Some other great picks include Diggersby (Diggersby, Scorching Sands, Fire Punch), which can cause a lot of problems for Grass, Bug, and Steel-type Pokémon thanks to access to both Fire Punch and Scorching Steps. Meanwhile, Piloswine (Powder Snow, Icicle Spear, Stone Edge) can use Ice-type moves like Powder Snow and Icicle Spear to cause problems for Dragon-types like Altaria and Guzzlord.
