The Best Single Type Cup Pokemon Teams in Pokemon Go

Your team will need to be created following the strict rules of the Single Type Cup in Pokemon Go. The biggest restriction is that any Pokemon you use on your team needs to be a single type and not have two Pokemon types associated with them. For example, Dragonite is not allowed because it is a Dragon and Flying-type Pokemon, but Dragonair is acceptable because it is only a Dragon-type.

In addition, your team cannot exceed the 1,500 CP limit. All Pokemon you use in Pokemon Go’s Single Type Cup must be at 1,500 CP, or below it. We’ve narrowed down the best Pokemon you should be using for the Single Type, to also help out.

Sirfetch’d, Muk, and Cofagrigus

The first team I discuss features Sirfetch’d, a strong Fighting-type Pokemon. With a variety of attacks, it can use in combat, it’s an ideal choice to take on multiple unique Pokemon, and to back it up, I have Muk and Cofagrigus. Muk is an interesting Poison-type Pokemon that you can switch out to protect Sirfetch’d, and Cofagrigus will be an excellent Pokemon to have in your backline for the Single Type Cup in Pokemon Go.

Sirfetch’d – Counter (fast move), Leaf Blade, and Night Slash
Muk – Poison Jab (fast move), Thunder Punch, and Dark Pulse
Cofagrigus – Shadow Claw (fast move), Shadow Ball, and Dark Pulse

Haxorus, Luxray (Shadow), and Hitmontop

Our next Pokemon Go team features Haxorus, the Dragon-type Pokemon. Not every player might have Haxorus on their team, but those who do can benefit from this outstanding Dragon-type Pokemon, capable of unleashing a variety of attacks, with Luxray as a Shadow Pokemon and Hitmontop as the final defender.

Haxorus – Counter (fast move), Night Slash, and Breaking Swipe
Luxray (Shadow) – Spark (fast move), Wild Charge, and Psychic Fangs
Hitmontop – Counter (fast move), Close Combat, and Stone Edge

Vigoroth, Primeape, and Meganium

I’ve paired up Vigorth, Primeape, and Meganium for this Pokemon Go team. Although Primeape and Vigorth share the same fast move, these two are good choices to pair with given their unique typings, and Vigorth is easily the best Pokemon to use in Pokemon Go’s Single Type, so even if you do not use Vigoroth in this featured team, keep it in mind elsewhere as its extremely flexible. The final Pokemon I want to recommend to round out this team is Meganium.

Vigoroth – Counter (fast move), Bulldoze, and Body Slam
Primeape – Counter (fast move), Night Slash, and Ice Punch
Meganium – Vine Whip (fast move), Frenzy Plant, and Earthquake

Machamp (Shadow), Goodra, and Registeel

For anyone who has Registeel on their roster, Pokemon Go’s Single Type Cup is the perfect place to use it. It’s an ideal Pokemon to use in the Great League and continues to be an excellent Pokemon for this competition. I’d recommend pairing it with the powerful Machamp as a shadow Pokemon, and Goodra, another Dragon-type.

Machamp (Shadow) – Counter (fast move), Cross Chop, and Rock Slide
Goodra – Dragon Breath (fast move), Power Whip, and Muddy Water
Registeel – Lock On (fast move), Focus Blast, and Zap Cannon

Pinsir (Shadow), Dubwool, and Regirock

The last team I want to recommend for the Single Type features the other defensive Regi-type legendary, Regirock. Much like Registeel, Regirock has a lot of defense, making it the perfect final Pokemon on your team to protect against your opponent’s assault. I’ve paired it with the shadow version of Pinsir and Dubwool.
