PVP on Pokémon GO is growing in popularity and the recent launch of Combat League GO has encouraged many new people to start playing. Last week we explained the basics of PvP strategy in our article on the Super League . The Hyper League will now be offered by Niantic until February 24th! Here are our top 10 best Pokémon in the Hyper League, as well as all the explanations on how to play them!
Giratina
At least we can say that Giratina is a Hyper League monster . Whatever his role in your team, he will adapt. And the craziest thing is that Giratina is viable in both forms! Still, Giratina is still a huge investment in candy and star dust. You will inevitably encounter him given his power, but your opponents are unlikely to have launched a second attack .
Alternative form
The alternative form is the most defensive form of Giratina. And defense is a very popular statistic in PVP (we prefer attacks for raids).
- Recommended attacks : In this form, we recommend using Shadow Claw, Draco-Claw and Ancient Power.
- Best hits : Giratina alternative form is a very good choice against Mew , Mewtwo in Armor and Mackogneur . Three Pokémon that appear in these top 10. Thanks to Ancient Power, Giratina Form Alternative is also a very strong counterattack against Charizard , a pretty good Pokémon in the Hyper League.
- The best disadvantage : The great thing about this form of Giratina is that it doesn't fear many people. His best counterparts are Ursaring , Kangaskhan and Zangoose , 3 normal Pokémon that you just barely passed through . The most interesting solution to beat Giratina alternative is to use a Tengalice!
Native form
Make room for the offensive form after the defensive form!
- Recommended attacks : Shadow Claw, Bad Wind and Shadowball.
- Best matches : the original form versus the alternative form very well! It is also very effective against Cresselia, Mew and Mewtwo in Armor.
- Best of all , beware of Dimoret and Ronflex , who are a pretty interesting choice in the Hyper League.
meow
Mew is a Pokémon that you will see in many third lists. It is clearly one of the best Pokémon to play in the Hyper League. Only here is Mew not only very difficult to get (you have to have a special degree), but also, like with Giratina, it is very difficult to get the 100 sweets that are required for a second attack. And that's not all! You should also keep in mind that Mew has access to many different attacks! And as long as we can't change our Pokémon's abilities the way we want, it is almost impossible to make three attacks that overwhelm Mew in the Hyper League. In short, Mew is an incredible Pokémon on paper, but it's so hard to come by that you'll almost never see it. We can't help but talk about it since Mew will be a key 9th or 10th Pokémon , but that only affects a very small minority of players. If you play rank 4 or 5 like most players, don't worry too much about Mew .
- Recommended attacks : shadow claw, overheating, psychic shock.
- Best encounters : Cresselia, Mewtwo in armor, Jirachi.
- Best against : Deflaisant, Dimoret, Tyranocif.
Reegisteel is a Pokémon that is extremely present in the Super League . Given his win rate, there's a good chance he's in the Hyper League too!
- Recommended attacks : Locking, Luminocanon, Exploforce.
- Best results : alternative form Giratina, Cresselia, Togekiss, Dracolosse.
- Best competitions : Hariyama, Aflamanoir, Braségali , Scarhino.
Laggron is a Pokémon that is used a lot regardless of your level . And this is the first time since the beginning of this article that we can say this with so much confidence. Unlocking your second loaded attack (25 candies and 10,000 star dust) doesn't cost much and many people have at least one Laggron voucher. Do not deprive yourself of its power: use it! But it can also be a good idea to prepare a Pokémon that is specifically designed to fight Laggron on your team.
- Proposed attacks : mudslide, hydropower explosion, earthquake.
- Best hits : Giratina, Mew, Charizard, Grotadmorv d'Alola, Mewtwo in Armor.
- Best Against : Here you will find all Pokémon of the plant type that you can imagine. If your opponent goes to a Tropius , a Torterra or even a Heliatron: run away.
Cresselia
Some people try to play Cresselia in the Super League, but it is much easier to use it in the Hyper League. Expect to meet some of them as it is a great option and you will find out right away.
- Recommended attacks : mental shock, boreal wave, moon power.
- Best results : alternative form Giratina, Togekiss, Charizard, Laggron, Mackogneur.
- Best competitions: Colhomard, Tengalice, Dimoret.
We are in a case comparable to that of Registeel with one difference: Registeel is widely used in the Super League and Regirock is only used in the Hyper League . It is therefore very likely that people will leave their director in the league in which they shine the most, and that they will board a regi skirt especially for the Hyper League.
- Recommended attacks : Locking, Rock Blade, Exploforce.
- Best hits : Charizard , Mew, Cresselia, Dracolosse .
- Best disadvantage : Regirock is very afraid of the type of fight, a Mackogneur or a Hariyama can cause him great harm.
Machamp
Mackogneur has been one of the best Pokémon in the game since its release and will not stop. In raids, he's still one of the best combat attackers. And in PVP he is extremely strong in this Hyper League. Don't hesitate to invest in one or two Mackogneurs like Laggron. You can't regret it.
- Recommended attacks : Riposte, Coup Croix, Éboulement.
- Best hits : Charizard , Lokhlass , Registeel, Ronflex.
- Best disadvantage : This time you should be wary of fairy species like Gardevoir , but especially Togekiss, which is probably quite present.
Two in armor
We have already seen his name go by. Now is the time to talk about this special Mewtwo! The Hyper League is the only place where Mewtwo can shine in Armor . If you have enough to prepare him for the fight, you can go there with your eyes closed.
- Recommended attacks : psychic shock, falling rocks, dynamo fist.
- Best hits : Charizard , Togekiss, Mackogneur, Scorvol.
- The best disadvantages : Tengalice, Absol, Giratina original form.
Gliscor
Another Pokémon that you meet very often and in which we strongly advise you to invest.
- Recommended attacks : Slash, Night Slice, Earthquake
- Best games : Mew, Deoxys Form Defense , Makogneur, Grotadmorv d'Alola.
- Best of all, Scorvol is particularly worried about the Ice type, but there is almost none in the Hyper League, which is one of the reasons why Scorvol is so strong!
Other good cheaper options
As you may have noticed, the 10 best Pokémon with the highest success rate in the Hyper League are filled with hard-to-reach Pokémon . Without going into too much detail, here is a non-exhaustive list of other powerful and easy-to-obtain Pokémon (for you as for your opponents ...).
- Grotadmorv d'Alola (barking, vibrobsur, détricanon)
- Florizarre (whip Liane, Végé Attak, bomb Beurk)
- Braségali (Riposte, Rafale Feu, burner foot )
- Scarhino (riposte, melee, megacorne)
- Dracolosse (Draco souffle, Draco handles, anger)
- Lucario (Riposte, Poing Boost, Ball'Ombre)
- Méganium (whip Liane, Végé Attak, earthquake)
