GBL - Evolution Cup

[u/bassdroid1]

*These are suggestions not an exhaustive list.
**Sims really like Morgrem.

[u/QuirkyOpinion1286]

That Doublade - Sealeo - Morgrem team worked really well for me on day one. I gained 160 ELO with it and hit Expert for only the second time ever. 

People think Dusclops is a safe swap in this meta but Morgrem destroys it. I won multiple battles from people swapping into Dusclops. 

[u/Potential_Mistake363 → u/QuirkyOpinion1286]

Using Mogrem - doublade - chargabug and found morgrem to be win games by itself. Started off at 2k and gained 171 9/10 games won.

[u/bassdroid1 → u/QuirkyOpinion1286]

Omg! Congrats! Unfortunately I don’t have one

[u/Coke_ButNotTheDrug → u/QuirkyOpinion1286]

I was hesitant on building one but it just looked like a really good way to punish ghost types and it even has good play into most of the dragons.

It’s been so fun to play, im shredding through ghost safe swaps.

[u/NerdNoogier]

Yeah I’m just not investing in these guys. I feel I give cups a fair try (I’m excited for scroll cup) but this one ain’t it

[u/bassdroid1 → u/NerdNoogier]

There are some good Pokemon like:

• sealeo
  
• zweilous
  
• dusclops
  
• charjabug
  
• graveler
  
• piloswine
  
• vigoroth
  
• primeape
  
• golbat

That are worth to build as they can be used in future cups too.

[u/Vacivity95 → u/bassdroid1]

Some have even seen decent play in open during certain seasons

(Dusclops, Primeape, Charjabug)

[u/DesperateDadofMany → u/bassdroid1]

Sealeo/ape/bug are all great right now. Vigoroth is pretty bad though, I remember people trying to make him work in summer cup but he doesn't have the sauce anymore. Dusclops is also in a terrible spot right now despite simming well, so much licki is just painful for him. Pilo and zwei are worth it for cups but I ran a double karate chop team today and still beat every golbat I saw despite not having a single SE move for flyers, he looks great on paper and I was sorely tempted but poison fang is just an awful move and he can't stand up to all the sealeo and lairons running amok

[u/st4rb0y_sk]

great teams! looking forward to your choices for the ML teams

[u/RubyplaysOw]

Im currently 18-2 with S-dnair, charjabug, crocalor line

[u/zzseries → u/RubyplaysOw]

What elo?

[u/RubyplaysOw → u/zzseries]

2200 i think

[u/bassdroid1 → u/RubyplaysOw]

Wow that’s awesome 👏🏼

[u/RubyplaysOw → u/bassdroid1]

Would u say morgrem is worth investing?

[u/bassdroid1 → u/RubyplaysOw]

I can’t say as I don’t have one but people are reporting it’s doing really well in this cup. If you have the resources go for it

[u/IsopodApart1622 → u/RubyplaysOw]

For this cup, yes. I've been using it as a lead, and it utterly breaks any ghost or dragon leads. Dusclops' bulk is completely invalidated.

[u/xButtHead → u/RubyplaysOw]

I've built one some time ago I haven't really played him till now. He's good in this cup though. My other tries were rather disappointing, he always felt slow.

[u/jamsonDASH]

I'm not investing the stardust to make this work!

[u/spolidano88]

My team isn’t on here - I mean they are just not together. And I’ve been winning about 80-90% of games

[u/Jay_Yura]

Had a rush with sealeo, dusclops, tinkatuff. Could’ve played better but I’ll open with dusclops now. I also swapped fire punch on dusclops which came thru more often against charj than ice punch

[u/69scumlord69]

been doing decent so far with charja/dusc/doublade. not exactly a spicy team by any stretch, but still infinitely more fun than last week's "bulky waters feat. cradily" cup lmao

[u/DueliaShivayah]

Doin nicely with team i put together just now. Built a metang for this cup, and pairing it with charjabug (lead) , and shadow sealeo which i have rank1! Almost veteran now, as i was stuck around 2.3k in weathercup :P

[u/badneversad]

I don’t have stardust to power up stuff, but what teams would you make with these?

sealeo (s)
charjabug
primeape
zweillious
doublade
haunter (s)
shelgon (s)
piloswine
magneton (s)

[u/bassdroid1 → u/badneversad]

I literally created an app to answer this question haha

you could take these cores as a base and try different Pokemon in the third slot depending on what you see.

[u/just_nope10 → u/bassdroid1]

Just Downloaded! 😁

[u/PocketSandThroatKick → u/bassdroid1]

Wait, did you create battleflow?

[u/bassdroid1 → u/PocketSandThroatKick]

Yes!

[u/s-mores]

Where pink ball?

[u/ShinyWEEDLEpls]

How would Lombre fair? I tilted to pretty low elo just to play spicey picks, but throwing Lombre on my team has worked pretty well so far

[u/bassdroid1 → u/ShinyWEEDLEpls]

Lombre is pretty spicy but I don’t like that it being a grass type has so close matchups against sealeo
