The Pokémon GO Holiday Cup: Little Edition is here! Running from December 17th to 24th, 2024, this limited-time event introduces a 500 CP cap and restricts Pokémon types to Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, and Normal. This creates a unique meta, demanding strategic team building.
Holiday Cup: Little Edition Rules:
- CP Cap: 500
- Type Restrictions: Electric, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Normal
- Dates: December 17th - 24th, 2024
Crafting Your Winning Team:
The lower CP cap and type limitations necessitate a fresh approach. Start by filtering your Pokémon by CP to identify eligible candidates. Consider type matchups against likely opponents, remembering that evolved forms often exceed the CP limit.
Smeargle, previously banned, is a significant contender this year, capable of learning powerful moves like Incinerate and Flying Press. Planning counter-strategies against Smeargle is crucial.
Suggested Team Compositions:
Here are three sample team compositions, showcasing diverse strategies:
Team 1: Counter-Smeargle Focus
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Pikachu Libre | Electric/Fighting |
 Ducklett | Flying/Water |
 Alolan Marowak | Fire/Ghost |
This team utilizes dual typing for broader coverage and counters Smeargle's potential moves. Skeledirge can substitute for Alolan Marowak if needed.
Team 2: Embrace the Smeargle Meta
| Pokémon | Type |
|---|---|
 Smeargle | Normal |
 Amaura | Rock/Ice |
| Ducklett | Flying/Water |
This team incorporates Smeargle, leveraging its move-copying ability. Ducklett counters Fighting-type counters to Smeargle, while Amaura provides Rock-type coverage.
Team 3: Underdog Lineup
 Gligar | Flying/Ground |
 Cottonee | Fairy/Grass |
 Litwick | Fire/Ghost |
This team features less common Pokémon, offering strong type coverage. Litwick excels against Ghost, Grass, and Ice types, while Cottonee and Gligar provide additional advantages.
Remember, these are suggestions. Your optimal team will depend on your available Pokémon and play style. Good luck, Trainers! Pokémon GO is available now.
