The Catch Cup is returning to the Battle League for just one week in August 2024, giving Trainers a fresh challenge to enjoy as they rush to find the best team possible to compete with.

You'll need to farm XL Candy to get it as close to the 1500 CP limit as possible, but it's worth the investment as you'll also be able to use this Lickitung in the regular Great League.
Talonflame is a relatively cheap Pokémon to power up to the 1500 CP limit, and you'll be able to get its featured attack Incinerate if you evolve one during the 2024 World Championships event. The same is true for Charjabug, the Bug/Electric-type Pokémon. It has a fast-paced moveset that can easily take out your opponent's shields, making it great for applying
