The best charged moves are those that do good damage per second (DPS) and require little energy, this way you can attack before your opponent and bait some protections or defeat them.īest quick moves are those that firstly: generate high amounts of energy per second (EPS), secondly: do good DPS and thirdly: provide some type coverage.īest movesets are those that provide you with coverage, previously we mentioned Torterra, he is good with Earthquake and Frenzy, which provides you attack coverage against water, ground, rock, fire, electric, poison and steel. Ideally it needs to be both counter to your opponent and to its own possible counters, a good example that works with this team is Vaporeon, of course there are better pokemon -Kyogre-, but as I said before, we are exemplifying with a budget team and also Vaporeon works great now because a lot of people are using Tyranitar and Rhyperior.Īnother option, if you have it, is Torterra, a tanky pokemon that counter both Tyranitar and Swampert.Īny team you build is an investment because your pokemons need a lot of stardust, candy and a second charged move. Third pokemon: This is the preferably ‘safe tanky’ pokemon you change into when your first one gets countered.This pokemon is for coverage and to end battles, it is in the second position for team building reasons. Wrong, if you change into this then your opponent will just change too and counter you leaving you in a bad match up (because you can’t change again for a while). Now you might be thinking you’re going to change your first pokemon into this. Second pokemon: This is a strong attacker that is ‘the counter to the counter of your first pokemon’, as I explained before, your opponent could have a Machamp first, so what do you need to counter Machamp? A flying pokemon like Dragonite.The idea is that if you get lucky you are going to start strong and if not (first enemy is Machamp), then you have to change to your third pokemon. First pokemon: This is a strong ‘Hard Counter’ pokemon with both notable weakness and strengths against other types, a good example of this would be Tyranitar, who counters really hard ghost, psychic, bug, fire and flying pokemons, but gets hard countered by fighting type.Keeping semi-casual players in mind -without perfect iv legendary pokemons- I’ll exemplify and explain to you what characteristics need your three pokemon to synergize and build a harmonious team: The following steps in this guide require you to see the Pokemon Go effectiveness chart: TYPE I’ll have you build your very own original good team really fast and without too much effort. This guide will focus on Go Battle League rather than tournaments, so you have to prepare teams of three pokemon. They are usually formed by the pokemon you already maxed up for raids.

There are "budget pokemon teams" despite people saying the opposite, it is possible to win at least 3 out of every 5 matches with these teams. No CP limit, as of now, the higher rankings in this league is plagued with perfect legendary pokemon, sure there are trainers with regular and non perfect pokemon, but if you're serious about winning and ranking up, you do need the best iv possible legendary pokemons. Max CP allowed is 2500, even more than before, it is not recommended spending resources if you're keen on ranking in Go Battle League, as 2500 CP pokemon are more resource intensive than 1500 CP pokemon. As said before Go Battle League only allows Master League, so spending resources in Great League pokemons is a bad idea if you intend to climb up the ladder. Max CP allowed is 1500, here you can play for fun without spending dust or having perfect pokemon. Then you have to press ‘Battle now’ and choose the league you are going to play in, that is, if you're given an election as starting February 25 Go Battle League battles are played only on Master League. The first thing you need to do is to press the pokeball and see this: This part is in case you’re newish to Pokemon Go, skip if you are not.
