"How to Element Cup"

#PokemonGO: I'm not good at PVP in this game, but I enjoy it. The element cup seemed fun so I tried it out. After getting 30 consecutive wins, I thought maybe my team and strat wasn't just a series of flukes. I seen a lot of people having troubles with it. So, maybe this can help some folks if you have these Pokémon because they're crushing for me.I have only used:493CP 4/7/15 Growlithe, Ember/Flamethrower494CP 6/14/5 non-TM'd Shadow Oddish, Razor Leaf/Frustration498 14/14/14 Clauncher, Water Gun/CrabhammerI keep seeing people trying to be cute or clever bringing in Ducklett, Chinchou and Slowpoke with Wing Attack to counter grass, Spark to counter water and Confusion to counter Bulbasaur and Oddish. Hasn't worked out for those people.This cup isn't like other cups. It couldn't be, because I'm actually succeeding at this one. Quick Attacks and quickly switching to counters is all that matters. Only one of my wins was the result of a charge attack winning the day. All the rest was the same basic rules:Lead with fire. If they lead water, instaswitch to grass and chunk out half their HP before (if) they switch to make them anxious. Your opponent is a human like you, and element cup moves very fast so take advantage of how quickly tides can turn in this cup. ALWAYS be looking at the top right corner to see what type they switch-in to. Don't wait until you see their switch-in because it'll already be attacking you by that point. Use the type icons in the top right corner so you know sooner. One second is 25% of a health bar in this cup. Every Super Effective hit you avoid is critical.Big chunk moves like Charm on Cottonee are good in other cups, but without Super Effective bonus damage, Charm just doesn't cut it in this cup. Avoid it. There's no dragons to fight here. Just use standard fire water grass. Don't try to be clever: be quick instead. Hope this helps somebody. I like this cup a lot.Just for clarity on the pic: I usually hand out wins most of the time after getting to 20. Hence my awful W:L ratio. That, and I suck. ;phttps://imgur.com/a/H0e0NG2 via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3haIYy4
