The World of Wonders season has been quite an eventful one for fans so far, with a series of really exciting events taking place in the game, giving players a chance to catch some returning and new Pokemon. While the first month of the World of Wonders featured the Spring Cup, players will be able to take part in the Jungle Cup in April. Here are the best Pokemon players should use as part of their teams in Jungle Cup: Great League.
Pokemon GO: Best Teams For Jungle Cup: Great League
For the Jungle Cup: Great League, there are a few requirements that players will need to keep in mind, the first of which is the CP requirement. Considering that this is a part of the Great League, the regular 1,500 CP restriction applies to all Pokemon. This means that players can use any Pokemon that is at or below 1,500 CP for this league.
Additionally, what makes the Jungle Cup a bit different from the regular Great League are the restrictions on the Pokemon being used as well. Precisely, players will only be able to use Pokemon belonging to the following types:.
- Normal
- Grass
- Electric
- Poison
- Ground
- Flying
- Bug
- Dark
In addition to this, there is one final requirement - players will not be able to use Gligar and Galarian Stunfisk. Thankfully, when it comes to the best Pokemon that can be used for this league, both Gligar and Galarian Stunfisk don't top the list, so it is not a big deal as such. It should be noted that players should be careful about the CP limit while trying to level up their Pokemon. Considering the extremely low CP restriction, XL candies will not be required for this league. Here are the top choices for Jungle Cup: Great League along with the best charged and fast moves.
Pokemon | Fast Move | Charged Move 1 | Charged Move 2 |
---|---|---|---|
Steelix | Dragon Tail | Crunch | Psychic Fangs |
Shadow Steelix | Dragon Tail | Psychic Fangs | Crunch |
Skarmory | Steel Wing | Brave Bird | Sky Attack |

When it comes to choosing the Pokemon, players should focus on having a well-rounded team that is able to not only complement the type of matchups present in the team but also take care of the weaknesses. For instance, using a Steel and Ground-type Pokemon like Steelix, it is crucial that they have something like Altaria in their team, which will be able to counter all of Steelix's Ground, Fire, Fighting, and Water-type weaknesses.
Steel-type Pokemon have been a part of the meta for Great League for quite a while now due to their high defensive stats. While players can't use pure Steel types for the Jungle Cup, players can find a way around it by using Pokemon like Skarmory and Steelix, which have a second type that meets the requirements of the league. Additionally, Clodsire and other Pokemon that can use Mud Shot are equally useful, since they can use Charged moves more frequently and whittle down the HP of opposing Pokemon.
Another versatile Pokemon that players should have in almost every team is Vigoroth. Being a Normal-type Pokemon, it is only weak to Fighting-type moves, which players will not see very often in the Jungle Cup. This makes it an excellent candidate for switching when exposed to super-effective matchups.
