HUGE DAMAGE with Hoopa! Top Climbing Team for the Psychic Cup | Pokémon GO Battle League

[@bhaskunju]

They banned Mew but not Hoopa. Allowing in a Ghost type for a Psychic Cup is just sheer negligence...

[@Jaguaist]

Not even obtainable if you missed the quest, this thing is way too strong for this cup.

@@RenegadeShepTheSpacerHoopa can 2 shield thru Malamar. It’s ridiculous.

[@DunkinPotato]

Honestly, it gets walled by lead chimecho

[@mutantpolarbear4626]

Idk personally I have yet to lose to a hoopa. Yeah it has a lot of fast move pressure, but it is laughably frail. Unless you’re trying to play some sort of team with low charge move pressure I can’t imagine it being overwhelming. Mew is scary because it has great pacing, damage, and coverage. Hoopa only has damage, and as we see with Pokémon like gardevoir or Bruxish that isn’t enough to be ban worthy.

[@Eli-vr1on]

Psychic cup and master league in the same week is terrible

[@DanielJParish]

I gotta say that watching Hoopa fast move down a shadow Gardevoir is kinda crazy.

[@xxkylessixx]

15:41 beheeyem became my MVP this season's psychic cup

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

The only difference in my team is Glowbro in for Hoopa. Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb + Brutal Swing. I didn't lose a single match yesterday, which is a first for me. It probably helps that I played against a bunch of people with bad teams, of course.

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

I take it back. I just tried Hoopa instead of Glowbro and it was absolutely hilarious. What a cancerous Pokémon for this meta. 😂

[@multixarena]

​@@RenegadeShepTheSpacerGlowbro is such a cool name 😂

[@CAF879]

Hoopa in the lead and Glowbro as the switch same quick and charge moves. With chimeco astonish shadow ball. 😂

[@davidfwooldridge3430]

I think with the move rebalance that the Psychic cup is kind of systemically flawed to encourage degen tap-tap teams.

[@alsonaarif7367]

You dont need any charge moves, you only need 3 fast moves in mirror match - Hoopa

[@PsydovePsydove]

This is actually for real; hoopa is a glass cannon that takes ghost type and dark type attacks extremely horribly. But my hoopa is worst than some other peoples’ hoopas and it nearly gets 2 shotted in a mirror 😭

[@Summer06x]

baltoy hasnt been in the wild in ages feels like

[@stefancoffa5980]

yea i had to trade someone for one. did 3 and they all got 15 attack, one went lucky and gave me a hundo claydol lol. the one time i don't want good IVs from a trade.

[@PsydovePsydove]

“It’s all fun and games until an idiot puts Bruxish in the lead.” -Master Hoopa

[@aejdsagjsp]

Or malamar or beheyem

[@wiktoriarork6162]

Hoopa vs hoopa was the best moment.

[@jardins43]

I’ve been using Hoopa and Claydol as well. I got a lot of 4-1 sets yesterday. I used Bronzong instead of Rapidash.

[@iFINNIX]

Them just staring at each other 😂

[@user-wb1sm5nq8l]

hoopa gaming lets go

[@Magick1122]

W hoops finally getting some light

[@chaosgaming6389]

That hoopa v hoopa was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed in pogo.

[@ChrisM-qo1jc]

Disgusting. I want it. Please hoopa come back

[@bartoszn.3984]

Awesome to see Hoopa-C finally being good for something! HOWEVER, I'm still hoping to see some Astonish Hoopa-U action in ML 😎

[@dingleberrymore9725]

I think Claydol and G Slowbro are the top contenders in this meta. The buffs they received make them exponentially better in this format. The only hard check to Clay is Xatu, which… lol.

[@jeremykops]

I'm grateful that Niantic rewarded those of us who have been long term players

[@johnannand5449]

Claydoll lead with G-Dash and Victini in the back is an actual cheat code in this cup.

[@CAF879]

Bro. I shredded my opponent’s today with Hoopa. It’s not fair to anyone who isn’t playing it.

[@MegaLolcade]

it gets easily countered by meowstic chimecho beheeyem and bruxish so yeah its not that op

[@aejdsagjsp]

As soon as I started with hoopa more than half of all my matches today (all 20 of them ) had malamar leads. But I know as soon as I swap to rapidash lead suddenly it's only galarian Slowbro , or bronzong

[@figtreez]

I genuinely ended up on this same team, wanted to try out Hoopa. Claydol was very strong and S. Gard was too inflexible.

[@XACTIC_Valour]

Victini, chimecho, and Galarian Slowking says otherwise

[@sikbone]

Reuniclus with Hidden Power Ghost is BROKEN

[@ezpzx1095]

8:01 3 hits?! That's a new record!

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

I've done this once before too. Someone brought out a Tyranitar against my force palm Lucario in the fossil cup. It was hilarious. 😂

[@crayonclips2050]

Dude you GOTTA try sucker punch meowstic I’ve been going STUPID with it LMAO

[@_d0minion728]

Thank you so much for showing this, because my team eats up hoopa, cause I have double astonish, which destroys hoopa in like 4-5 astonishes 😂

[@mugiwara839]

I have been doing great with Hidden Power Bug Shadow Duosion to delete malamar. The Malamar safe swaps have no idea what hit them.

[@creampai.]

switched claydol safe switch for malamar w/ psywave. went slightly positive but def recommend psycho cut

[@bigben0055]

I’m using bruxfish as lead, malamar, and shadow metagross

[@PanHammer5]

You know it’s an awful cup when a 2nd charge move is essentially irrelevant on a handful of the top meta pokemon. Niantic’s truly blundered this one. Ended in high 2300s yesterday, but my god is this cup miserable.

[@charlesschwartz7284]

There's just not enough good psychic in pokemon go just my opinion

[@jwoods218]

try Hatterene if you find one!! it’s like ranked 16 on PVPoke, would love to see you run it!!

[@ProcInc]

I missed out on bound Hoopa sadly, joined too late. I have Hundo unbound which is nice

[@BurstWalkthroughs]

I played you last night haha. Nice battling You. Gg

[@crabbbbbity]

Man my slayer rapidash should not have had double nuke moves

[@jakeparkinson9639]

See I'm running bruxish, chimecho and malamar and it's been working wonders

[@Grimey1z47]

the bruxish claydol core destroyed me yesterday lol i only have like 4-5 mons built for this cup

[@JudsonParker]

Hoopa, Beheeyem, Elgyem is the top team

[@supershinigami1]

I have the Unbound version. I missed the opportunity to get confined.

[@demitra38jpk50]

You can change them back and forth

[@supershinigami1]

@@demitra38jpk50 I think it's only available if you did a special research back in the day. I missed that one.

I wish I didn’t power mine up past 1500 when I was still a noob 😭

[@lionyute3770]

[@karriejones1588]

I only have bronzong Malamar and gal rapidash build for this cup legit only three I have I keep changing leads and swaps around any advice? How would you play this team I don’t have stardust as I used it to make a team for ultra league so it’s really just these three

[@smmwise]

Similar situation here, id say try to get shield advantage y wipe them with megahorn on rapidash

[@Jayytasmic]

I powered up my only 2 Hoopas 😭😭😭😭

[@edmondYJ]

I have the Hoopa Unbound form of CP1686, anyone know if the CP will be below 1500 if I change the form?

[@Kingcarlos1323]

I have a hundo Hoopa 😁bout to see what it’s about

[@smmwise]

Man what a unpleasant cup to play, specially with that f lag

[@chewypr]

When was the last time hoopa in raids?

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

Was it ever? I thought you could only get it from the event way back when. It's how I got mine.

[@morokee3641]

Only in elite raids. Whenever those are around

[@sam88wise22]

2 of the worst Leagues at the same time, they definitely know when to give triple stardust

[@curryhunterz]

where did u get the Mask ?

[@PsydovePsydove]

Good question, but I think it’s in the avatar section for the psychic spectacular event

Ghost typing resists the normal typing of body slam.

[@SameerAhmed-kn5dy]

How are you even able to play this game without lag i mean i tried playing today lost almost all the matches just won 1 or 4 i think in full set, niantic should work on this i know they dont even care about this anymore plus recently i heard they are making this game for just iphone user purpose i mean playing on andriod is just painful its breaking my heart dont have any solution right now too much lag

[@InstinctRush]

This isn't even fun.

[@sullyshaheed4972]

Can confirm, Hoopa is busted. A scrub like me is making people just top left.
