The Flying Cup is making a return during Pokémon Go’s interlude season. You’ll have to select some of your favorite Flying-type Pokémon to use in this competition, and some powerful choices can sweep the competition. You’ll want to make sure you create an ideal team for this cup if you’re going to score several victories. In this guide, we cover the best Pokémon teams for the Flying Cup in Pokémon Go.
Best Pokémon teams in the Flying Cup Mantine, Aerodactyl (Shadow), and AltariaThe first Pokémon you want to look at are Mantine, Aerodactyl (shadow), and Altaria. For your closer, Altaria is an excellent choice, with most Flying-types being weak to Electric, attacks, and Altaria and protect against it. Unfortunately, that still leaves the Ice-type weakness that many Flying-types suffer. Mantine can use ice beam to exploit that weakness, making it an effective Pokémon but it is fragile to Electric-types, so Aerdactyl (shadow) is good protection for it and has some decent moves itself.
Aerodactyl (Shadow): Rock throw (fast move), rock slide, and iron headMantine: Bubble (fast move), bubble beam, and ice beamAltaria: Dragon breath (fast move), sky attack, and moonblastEmolga, Skarmory, ArticunoEmolga is one of the ideal Pokémon choices to use in this competition. It is an Electric and Flying-type, but it too suffers from an Ice-type weakness. Skarmory doesn’t have this problem, but it is still weak to any Electric-type attacks. For a bit more bulk, we recommend using Articuno to help boost your team up, but it does suffer from being weak to Electric-type attacks.
Emolga: Thunder shock (fast move), thunderbolt, and dischargeSkarmory: Steel wing (fast move), brave bird, and sky attackArticuno: Icy shard (fast move), icy wind, Read more on gamepur.com
