Lickitung Nidoqueen and Hypno

Lickitung and Hypno make for a team combination that is too good to be true. Lickitung makes for such great pairings that it has been included multiple times in this list. Lickitung: Fast Attack Lick and Charge Attacks Body Slam and Power WhipNidoqueen: Fast Attack Poison Jab and Charge Attacks Poison Fang and Earth PowerHypno: Fast Attack Confusion and Charge Attacks Fire Punch and Shadow Ball This team is tanky and provides tons of coverage. The attacks are Normal-type, Grass-type, Poison-type, Ground-type, , Fire-type, and Ghost-type. They are a trio that can take on virtually anyone.

Lickitung Mewtwo and Pidgeot

This is another team that starts with Lickitung and provides protection from its only weakness. It will take severe damage from Fighting-type moves, but Mewtwo and Pidgeot will both resist them. Lickitung: Fast Attack Lick and Charge Attacks Body Slam and Power WhipMewtwo: Fast Attack Psycho Cut and Charge Attacks Psystrike and Shadow BallPidgeot: Fast Attack Gust and Charge Attacks Brave Bird and Feather Dance This is another Pokemon GO trio with solid coverage. Sending Lickitung as the lead and switching out to two high-damage attackers when in danger will leave opposing trainers frustrated.

Hypno Clefable and Snorlax

Hypno is an extremely popular choice in Pokemon GO (Image via Niantic) Hypno is an absolute unit in Pokemon GO. It can take a bunch of damage and dish it right back.

Hypno: Fast Attack Confusion and Charge Attacks Thunder Punch and Shadow BallClefable: Fast Attack Charm and Charge Attacks Meteor Mash and MoonblastSnorlax: Fast Attack Lick and Charge Attacks Body Slam and Superpower If Hypno is on the ropes, Clefable can jump in and make the opponent waste their shields with its quick Energy-gaining attacks. They make for a great one-two punch with lurking in the background to win the war of attrition if it comes down to it.

Blastoise Raichu and Venusaur

This final group takes some OG Pokemon favorites and puts them together to form a dangerous team. They can take down a variety of opponents with the coverage they offer. Blastoise: Fast Attack Water Gun and Charge Attacks Hydro Cannon and Ice BeamRaichu: Fast Attack Volt Switch and Charge Attacks Thunder Punch and Brick BreakVenusaur: Fast Attack Vine Whip and Charge Attacks Frenzy Plant and Sludge Bomb Players should lead with Blastoise to tank damage and assess what the other team may be using. Raichu should be the switch with its incredibly quick Charge Attack usage. Following that up with , who joins them in spamming powerful moves, will see players take easy victories.
