The best Ottawa Pokemon Go Youtuber….is Poke Daxi but I am here too
Pokemon Go announced their season 10: Rising Heroes. This coincides with the new season of GO Battle League. There are no move updates of consequence. Learn how to win go battle league and hit legend with this channel.
This week is master league and little cup (element cup). Master League Open is level 50 (XL pokemon) and Legendary pokemon. Element Cup is a 500CP little league with only fire, water, and grass pokemon.
In today’s video, I go over the top ranked teams for element cup (little cup). Like all of these top videos I go over top ranked pokemon from pvpoke.

I guess it will be a 2 week break for me. I cannot be bothered to play this annoying matter.
I really hope there will be some move updates afterwards.
I wish you the best luck for the legend push Dan!
Should call it the "Luck Cup". Literally a rock, paper, scissors meta with dependencies on whether shield baits get called or not.
I love your pronunciation of Mareanie lol
Rock throw clauncher, and slugma can beat the duck too
little cup is it for at least a set. i don't have my master league pokemon set because of XL candies. Maybe next time.
Marine-e not Maryanne lol
Hardly calling myself an expert but I'm thinking of using Ducklett Lead with Chinchou, then a switch up between Cottonee and Lileep.
I don't have a bulbasaur or chikorita, but I feel very certain posion is going to be an underdog in this cup. If everyone wants duck dinner, then they'll have to destroy its guardian Chinchou first, and to do that you obviously need poisons and grasses to resist the electrict tbolts, and charm does wonders on its own regardless especially in such a baby meta. Lileep I want for the ancient power and infestation, an answer for the answers. Everything else ducklett can handle.
If any cup calls for a degenerate fast move team, it's this one.
Let's see how much Ducklett enjoys eating confusions from shadow Slowpoke, we melting duck brains out here
Smack down Clauncher beats Ducklett in the 2 shield (although this ends up being 2 vs 1 and come out with energy), could be an idea to run it in the lead with chinchou in the back.
Ducklett lead, Whooper safe swap and Salandit closer.
And Master League doesn't required lvl 50 pokemon, but its more useful to have it.
I'm in a little bit of a predicament. Ideally I don't want to rely on RPS in little cup to hit legend but I only have mewtwo and non legends that I can use in masters
Seel, Double grass for me it didi very well at the end of the last element cup! I my switched a little for more fun like seel, Vulpix, am somehitng else!
I think the two “best” options are Duck, Chinchou, Bulbasaur, with sludge bomb on Bulbasaur and brave bird on Ducklett as solid answers to grass. Option two is the duck, vulpix, and then either chinchou or Bulbasaur. With chinchou, you have the hard answer to Ducklett, but then after the chinchou/ducklett matchup no healthy counter to water. With Bulbasaur, you have better coverage against water but no hard answer to Ducklett.
I think I’m going to try and run duck,vulpix,Bulbasaur because I have a vulpix that has really solid little cup IVs lol, but if not having a hard counter to the duck is causing me major issues, I’ll have to see who gets the boot between Bulbasaur and vulpix for chinchou.
Tricky one, as I don't have a Bulbasaur, I'll go with Ducklett, Chinchou und Cottonee. I' don't want to spend too much dust on a league like this, so either that works or I'll call it a season.
hello dan! do you think shadow or non shadow duck is better?
I just hit expert today ,didn't played that much this season ,guess not hitting legend ,this and catch cup.
Duckett/Chinchou/Cottonee.
Charm Stab hits HARD at sub-500. You can one shield charm farm some fire types.
In a league where you have to shield every charge attack or lose, having the most effective fast attack will win you quite a few games alone.
Another RPS meta. As a PvP semi-casual I have more fun at the lower ranks because you actually see some weird mons 🤣
I have Ducklett but that's because it was my go to in the little cup. I never used Bronzor in the little cup. I'll prob do Ducklett, either Bulbasaur or Barboach and possibly Chinchou
Contemplating running a double ghost team of large pumpkaboo, litwick and bulbasaur. I have a lot of little cup mons built that I could use already but in these limited formats it is more fun to mess around with strange teams.
Good luck on your legend run, 2 weeks is plenty of time, you'll make it im sure
I have an excellent PVP IV s.vulpix is it worth using with the normal attack move set still or do i need the bulk ?
i dont get how ducklett is not banned in this format lmfao.
bug/grass pokemon arent ranked super high which i get because u get farmed down instantly by wing attack- but im thinking that if chinchou gets a lot of counter play in this meta paras/sewaddle might be becent swaps? full farm the mudboys (x4 ground resist) and they have bug moves to win against grass. still prob better to just go other top ranked grass types but its maybe worth thinking ab when u run chinchou
PvPoke has Oddish running acid… I ran the sim with razor leaf and it's much more respectable. Most notably, it has a draw with Ducklett and destroys chinchou. Since fires are almost nonexistent this far, it's Ducklett, Chinchou and Shadow Oddish. Oddish is a better chinchou counter and laughs even harder at Wooper.
What about triple Gras at the start? Just to counter chinchau. And use neutral grass like ferro with steel subtyping or rock?
I use whimsecott pre evo, ferro seed and lilep as starter.
Yes I loose vs ducklet but all have play and if the enemy has chinchau I should win?
Seems like everyone is looking at running ducklett in the lead so day 1 chinchou lead might be a crazy anti meta pick. Also I think typings that resist brave bird like tirtouga are gonna fly under the radar a bit because being able to no shield a BB will be huge.
Switch advantage will be huge, most matches will come down to who can line up chinchou onto ducklett.
Gonna try Chikorita, Clauncher (smack down), and Slugma (rock throw) and see what happens. Already done with the season so might as well have some fun.
I just finally made a lvl 50 Lugia Mamoswine and Dragonite I think I’ll run them. Last little cup took years off my mental health haha
Hey Dan what are you thoughts on H-Voltorb? It has good traits on paper but looks awful in the sims…
I wasn’t excited to play this league but I just went on a streak with Seel, Exeggcute, Ducklett.
Just went on a 17 game win streak with Chinchou lead, ducklet safe swap, and slugma in the back. Slugma really was the star of the show, just can't bring it out unless you have switch advantage though. Fire type that beats ducklet with shields, love throwing rocks. Ha
It's nice having a Hidden Power Electric Petilil. Makes Ducklett it's bitch.
I don't know why marennie is on here, its banned
Is Mareanie not available in this cup? I am not able to choose it even though it is under 500 cp.
Litten is good with crunch & flame charge?
"Literally Anything" Cup
Its basically a DUCKLETT cup.
The most RPS cup ever. Ducklet's everywhere and chinchou's everywhere. It should be called 'Luck' cup instead. You get a good lead, you can win. Bad lead, better to just top left. I don't know who at Niantic comes up with these cups where one Pokemon just dominates the entire meta. First Bronzor, and now Ducklet.
I have a traded Mareanie below 500 cp, but I realized after giving it a second move that it's not eligible for this cup despite being a water/poison typing below 500cp. Might be worth taking note of that if you're thinking about trying it for yourself.
