Color Cup Great League Edition best teams in Pokémon Go
As with most themed cups, creating the best Color Cup team will take a lot of effort. Many of your favorite favorites are not allowed here.
If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve rounded up the best Pokemon for the Flower Cup in Pokemon Go and their optimal sets of movements.
Color Cup: Great League Edition Limitations
Only four types of Pokemon are allowed to participate in the Color Cup: Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric-type Pokemon. There is also Limit 1500 CP for every member of your team.
This is one of the more restrictive cups in the Go Battle League, although all four eligible Pokemon types are fairly common, so chances are you’ll already have a decent collection to choose from. The ability to use dual types also increases the number of suitable Pokémon.
Because the Color Cup has the same CP limit as Great Leagueyou’ll find that there is some overlap between the two when it comes to the top rank Pokemon. If you want to compete in the Color Cup on a budget, try using Pokémon you’ve already optimized for the Grand League rather than buffing new ones specifically for the cup.
Here’s one of the best teams you can use to compete in the Color Cup: Great League Edition in Pokemon Go:
- Alolan Marowak
- from Morpe
- Quilfish
All three Pokemon are dual-types, giving them unique resistances and access to some excellent moves. In between, you’ll have access to Fire, Ghost, Ground, Electric, Dark, Psychic, Poison, Ice, and Water-type attacks. There aren’t many Pokémon you won’t have an answer for!
Alolan Marowak This Great League a favorite that looks set to do even better in the Color Cup, especially since many Pokémon that could exploit its weaknesses are not eligible to compete here. He has excellent stats and a great, varied moveset that can take on a variety of brutal opponents.
from MorpeThe not-so-secret weapon is his signature charged move, Aura Wheel. It’s relatively cheap to use, alternates between Electric and Dark-type damage for extra coverage, and increases the Pokemon’s attack by one stage each time it’s used. Morpeko may be fragile on the battlefield, but while it lasts, it can cause serious damage.
Finally we have Quilfish. With a total of eight resistances (including fire and water), he has an advantage over many opponents in the Flower Cup. Its Poison subtype also means that Quilfish does not have a weakness to Grass-type moves like most Water-type Pokémon.
If you don’t have these Pokemon in your collection (or don’t have enough resources to optimize them), there are still plenty of great Pokemon you can try out for your team. These include Salazzle, Hisuian electrode, Jumpluff, Gastrodon, Toxapex, EmolgaAnd Magmar. You can find more information about these Pokemon in the next section.

Magmar | Fire | Karate Chop | Fiery Strike and Hot Sands | 0 / 15 / 15 |
We haven’t included Shadow Pokemon in our recommendations since they can be quite rare and not every trainer will catch them during their limited appearance. However, if you have Shadow Magmar or Shadow Jumpluff, it’s worth trying them out with the same movesets listed above.
When launching the Color Cup format via PvPokeThe Toxapex simulator takes first place in the ranking. Of course, in reality, things don’t always work the same way as on paper, but it would be wise to have at least one strong Toxapex countercurrent on hand. There are two teams in our recommendation: Morpeko and Alolan Marowak.
The best thing about the Color Cup is that there are a lot of up-and-coming Pokémon to try out, so hopefully we won’t be in for a run that’s dominated by just one or two Pokémon. Whatever command you end up using, activate it, make sure you have plenty of coverage options, and give it your best shot!
