Just in case players get overconfident in their PvP strategy, the Pokemon GO Battle League likes to mix things up. La última Copa Especial con su propio conjunto de reglas para desafiarlo a cambiar su equipo es la Copa Retro, y necesitará el mejor equipo Pokemon Go para ganar.
En la Copa Retro, los jugadores solo pueden usar los tipos de Pokémon originales de la Generación 1. Los tipos recién agregados, incluidos los tipos oscuros, de acero y de hadas, no son elegibles para la copa. As with standard Great League rules, CP is capped at 1500.
La Copa Retro de la temporada Max Out se extiende desde el 19 de noviembre del 26 de noviembre de 2024. Durante este tiempo, los jugadores deben prepararse para traer sus mejores Pokémon al campo de batalla.
En la Copa Retro, los jugadores pueden inclinarse en el uso de su Pokémon favorito que normalmente podría estar en desventaja contra los tipos prohibidos de oscuridad, hadas y acero. That means Fighting, Ghost, Ice, and Rock types have one less disadvantage to worry about.
That said, anything else goes, so you'll want to build a mixed team to prepare for any of the original types.
Since the Retro Cup only excludes a few types, many of the usual PvP considerations still apply. Desea un equipo que incluya Pokémon con ataques sólidos y defensa, preferiblemente una mezcla para que pueda mantenerse fuerte una vez que esos escudos se agoten pero golpeen a su oponente antes de que reclamen la victoria.
So, building a team for the Retro Cup isn't too dissimilar to what you'd do for a standard League match, save for the type exceptions. Look for your highest-stat Pokemon and consider a strategy that plays to their strengths while filling in for any weaknesses.
It's also worth considering what the popular choices are and planning for them. This time around, Oranguru is many players' favorite choice in the Retro Cup. That means you'd do well to plan for coming up against one.
Players are bringing their best strategy to the Retro Cup, and with so many types available, it's hard to plan for just what you'll face. That said, these combinations have good overall type coverage and strong attacks to give you a fighting chance.
| Pokemon | Tipo |
|---|---|
 Pusir | Bicho |
 Annihilape | Fighting/Ghost |
 Dunsparce | Normal |
This team leads Pinsir to prepare for the very likely event that you'll go up against the Retro Cup's current favorite, Oranguru. As one of the stronger bug-type attackers in Pokemon GO, Pinsir can help you smack it down by leaning into its only type weakness.
Annihilape y Dunsparce siguen, trayendo una cobertura de tipo sólido para cualquier situación gracias a la combinación de combate/fantasma y la tipificación normal generalmente redondeada. If you haven't managed to evolve an Annihilape yet, Primeape is still a solid PvP choice here.
| Pokemon | Tipo |
|---|---|
 Oranguru | Psychic/Normal |
 Dewgong | Water/Ice |
 Altaria | Flying/Dragon |
Si no puedes vencerlos, únete a ellos. We couldn't leave out a team with Oranguru since it's a popular choice for the Retro Cup for a reason. Dewgong agrega un tipo de hielo sólido a la mezcla, disfrutando de la falta de Pokémon de acero, pero aún así querrás tener en cuenta los oponentes de tipo Fire, Rock y Fighting. Ahí es donde Altaria entra como un tipo de doble vuelo/dragón que es un poco más fácil de conseguir en Pokemon Go que algunas de las otras opciones de PvP populares.
| Pokemon | Tipo |
|---|---|
 Jumpluff | Flying/Grass |
 Ursaring | Normal |
 Arctibax | Dragon/Ice |
It may not look like much, but Jumpluff is surprisingly solid in PvP due to its unusual typing and solid moveset. As a Normal type with impressive speed, Ursaring can be a solid safe option so long you're prepared for that weaker defense. Finally, Arctibax makes a strong closer with impressive damage potential to round out this team.
These options provide a few possible, balanced teams to bring into the Pokemon GO Retro Cup this season. That said, this cup is an opportunity to have fun and build up some of your favorites from those original types. You may want to go with Pokemon you've already invested in or pour a little Candy into a personal favorite for this Go Battle League event.
