Pokémon GO Battle League Season 9: Little Jungle Cup Meta Sept. 2021
GO Battle League Season Nine is happening now in Pokémon GO. A run of Ultra League has wrapped up, and now it's time for Master League, Master League Classic, and the new Little Jungle Cup. The standard Master League allows any Pokémon with any CP, while the Master League Classic creates a new meta by banning Pokémon that have been powered up with Candy XL. The rules of Little Jungle Cup are a bit more complex. The rules are: Pokémon must be at or below 500 CP to enter and do not need to be able to evolve to enter. Only Normal-, Grass-, Electric-, Poison-, Ground-, Flying-, Bug-, and Dark-type Pokémon are permitted and Shuckle and Smeargle are banned. Let's take a look at the meta for the Little Jungle Cup.
The current top 20 species and moves to use in Pokémon GO's Little Jungle Cup are:
- Cottonee: Charm, Grass Knot, Seed Bomb
- Galarian Stunfisk: Mud Shot, Rock Slide, Earthquake
- Altaria: Dragon Breath, Sky Attack, Moonblast
