Season 11 of battles continues on Pokémon GO and the rotation of events took place on May 10, 2022. Now, you can participate in the Hyper League but also to the Element Cut to try to collect rewards. If this is your first time playing GO Battles, don’t panic! Just click on the Pokéball in the menu and then on the “battle” icon. There, you can participate at any time by clicking on “battle” and then selecting the event that interests you. The game will then automatically present you with your best Pokémon that meet the necessary prerequisites or those that you have put in a team. So remember to check carefully so as not to get caught out. A match can then start and you will have to face a random trainer in the world. The more victories you win, the more rewards you get.
How to participate in the Element Cup on Pokémon GO?
- Event Dates: May 10-17, 2022
- Pokemon must be under 500 CP
- Pokémon must be of type Water, Fire Or Plant.
The Element Cup is a competition for Water-, Fire-, and Grass-type Pokémon. However, you can use any hybrid of these types. For example, Exeggutor is a Grass- and Psychic-type Pokémon, making it a valid entry for the competition.
Pokémon GO Element Cup: The Best Team to Use
As you might expect, it’s almost impossible to predict what Pokémon random opponents will take on their teams. That being said, the selection here is reduced to three types and monsters below 500CP. Here are some tips to help you easily beat other players:
- Remember to choose three Pokémon with varied type attacks to try to counter as many opposing creatures as possible (Pokémon with a lot of HP are also a good idea in order to resist longer)
- Unlock the second charged attack on the Pokémon you want to use if there are any.
Here are the three best Pokémon to put on your team:
- Tritox with Direct Toxik (fast attack) + Venom Hook and Flamethrower (charged attacks).
- Mimantis with Grass Slash (fast attack) + Leaf Blade and Grass Knot (charged attacks).
- Otaria with Ice Shards (fast attack) + Hydro Tail and Ice Wind (charged attacks).
