Recommended PVP IVs
In addition to having the teams and attacks, you will want to use the highly ranked Pokémon for each Pokémon species. These are Pokémon with the correct PVP IVs. These are as follows
| Pokémon | Attack IV | Defense IV | HP IV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galvantula | 0 | 15 | 15 |
| Lanturn | 0 | 13 | 14 |
| Bellibolt | 0 | 14 | 12 |
| Luxray | 0 | 15 | 12 |
| Minun | 0 | 15 | 14 |
| Rotom | 0 | 14 | 15 |
| Hisuian Electrode | 1 | 14 | 14 |
| Toxtricity | 0 | 15 | 15 |
| Alolan Golem | 1 | 14 | 15 |
| Graveler | 0 | 14 | 15 |
The above table lists the Rank 1 IVs for each Pokémon species. You do not need to have these to battle and win games in the Electric Cup. You can use others with low attack IVs (e.g., 1, 2, or 3) but with high defense and HP IVs.
In conclusion, if you have all of these, you are in a good position to win more battles. However, winning is not only dependent on having the right Pokémon and the right team of Pokémon. You also need a good strategy. You can watch YouTube videos on these to learn a few good strategies. In addition, the more you play, the better you get at understanding your win conditions and all the other technicalities of the GO Battle League.
All the best!
