Single Type Cup rotation
Single Type Cup restricts every entry to one specified type at 1500 CP. The featured type rotates each rerun — Water, Fire, Psychic, and Dark are the most common picks.
Single Type Cup is the most restrictive format the format design team rotates. The whole 6-mon roster must share one specified type, and dual-types only qualify if the named type is present.
Because every team shares the same type, the mirror-matchup turns into a pure coverage-charge-move duel. Pick the mon with the widest second-charged-move pool and you tend to win the close fights.
- CP ≤ 1500.
- Every entry must include the featured type (announced per season).
- No type-cap restrictions on the second move-coverage type.
Spark + Surf + Thunderbolt. Standout pick for Water and Electric single-type cups thanks to the dual typing.
Fire Spin + Dragon Claw + Blast Burn. Always the most common Fire single-type pick.
Psycho Cut + Grass Knot + Moonblast. Psychic bulk closer — wins Psychic single-type mirrors.
Snarl + Aerial Ace + Foul Play. Dark single-type pillar with Flying coverage.
Dragon Tail + Power Whip / Sludge Wave / Acid Spray. Goodra surprises in Dragon-themed weeks.
Hex + Sludge Bomb + Psychic. Slips into Poison and Psychic single-types as anti-meta.
