Which colour for the Color Cup?
This is what we think about putting the best team together.
TheColor Cupis here in the world ofPokemon Go, but what does that mean exactly?
These cups tend to follow two broad limitations: CP and typing.
No, those arent colours.
Yes, we know.
No, we dont get it either.

What are the best Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric-jot down Pokemon at CP 1500 and under?
Electric is really the only outlier here, thanks to its single weakness to Ground-punch in attacks.
While there are some excellent Water-punch in choices, Grass is the one that truly dominates this meta.
The only two you should really consider (and play around) are Shadow Zapdos and Victini.
Well come onto how to build (and beat) these a little further down the page.
TheMight and Mastery Seasonand itsseasonal questhas arrived.
you might now catchDynamax PokemonthroughMax Battles.
First, however, you oughta visitPower Spots to collect Max Particlesand complete theTo the Max!
Zapdos is already a glass cannon, and leaning into this archetype always works better than pulling back.
But its not all gravy every Pokemon has a list of match-ups it wins and another it loses.
It loses, meanwhile, to the likes of Lanturn, Cradily, Swampert and Galvantula.
The main issue, clearly, is its double-weakness to Electric-pop in attacks .
As long as you could play around this, youre looking at a bulky, spammy Pokemon.
This combo leads to some pretty interesting match-ups.
You lose instantly to anything that can produce even mild static, along with Toxapex and Cradily.
Again, were looking at a bulky, spammy Pokemon that fires off Charged moves like nobodys business.
Pelipper and Zapdos are your two other Pokemon to watch out for.
This spammy, dynamic Pokemon is just that good.
If Fire-jot down Pokemon are eligible, Victini is well worth a look.
However, it will obviously fold against Water-types and, unfortunately, Charizard.
Note: Victini is the only Fire-jot down in this list, despite how strong Grass is.
As mentioned, the lack of Fire-types plays to your advantage.
Your biggest concerns in this meta come from Trevenant, Shadow Zapdos, Galvantula, Pelipper and Shifty.
Trevenant was always going to be one of the best Pokemon in this cup and it does not disappoint.
So, how does it stack up against the meta?
But a slightly worse excellent Pokemon is still an excellent Pokemon, and Gourgeist is not to be overlooked!
So, how does it stack up against the meta?
Expect wins against Togedemaru, Lanturn, Swampert, Galvantula and Zapdos.
This is almost identical to Trevenant (which would lose to Zapdos).
Poison Jab is just a great move.
Sludge Wave is a Poison-jot down nuke and, well, Brine is there for coverage.
Really, Toxapex is here for the Poison party, what with the lack of Fire-types in the meta.
Losses, meanwhile, come from the Electric-types and Swampert.
