THIS TEAM DESTROYS Holiday Cup 😱 Shadow Talonflame to 2600 ELO Pokemon Go

Описание: Holiday Cup was a grind, but this team helped me climb all the way to 2600 ELO with consistent wins. I ran a slightly spicy but extremely effective core featuring Cradily, Shadow Talonflame, and Shadow Dusknoir, and it performed way better than expected against the current meta.

🟢 Cradily (Lead)

Cradily is the backbone of this team. Its bulk allows it to comfortably handle common Holiday Cup leads like Lanturn, Jellicent, Alolan Ninetales, and Altaria.
With constant Grass-type pressure, Cradily forces shields early or leaves opponents in farm-down range. Even in neutral matchups, Cradily can stay in long enough to get shield advantage or alignment.

🔥 Shadow Talonflame (Safe Swap)

Shadow Talonflame is the main pressure piece. As a safe swap, it forces shields immediately because no one wants to tank Shadow Brave Birds.
Even in bad matchups, Talonflame either:

Grabs a shield

Forces a switch

Or softens the opponent enough for Cradily or Dusknoir to clean up

Its fast pace and shadow damage help flip games when behind.

👻 Shadow Dusknoir (Closer)

Shadow Dusknoir is the MVP closer. Once shields are down, it absolutely shreds teams with raw Shadow damage.
It’s especially strong against Fighters, Ghosts, and neutral matchups, and many opponents underestimate how hard it hits. With proper energy management, Dusknoir can sweep entire endgames.

🧠 Game Plan & Win Conditions

Use Cradily to establish early control or shield advantage

Bring in Shadow Talonflame to apply heavy shield pressure

Close games with Shadow Dusknoir when shields are down

This team rewards good timing, shield management, and alignment. It’s not a brain-dead team, but if played correctly, it can consistently climb ELO.

📈 Why This Team Works in Holiday Cup

Strong answers to Water, Ice, Grass, and Flying

Double Shadow backline overwhelms opponents

Cradily’s bulk balances the team’s glassiness

Excellent performance against common Holiday Cup cores

If you’re pushing for Veteran / Expert / Legend during Holiday Cup, this team is absolutely worth trying.
