Get ready, Pokémon trainers! Pokémon GO will have its first-ever City Safari event. These ticketed live events will take place in specific cities around the world and offer exciting bonuses, including increased shiny stakes. But what are the best Pokemon to catch during these events? Let’s find out!
For optimal gameplay in PvP, PvE, or grinding for Stardust and XP, you should pay attention to these Pokemon:
Squirtle
One of the original starter Pokemon, Squirtle still holds its own in PvP and PvE. Its final evolution, Blastoise, is a solid water-type raid and can be a decent choice for PvP battles. Keep in mind that Blastoise benefits greatly from its outdated Hydro Cannon move.
Pischenka
Sandslash, the evolution of Sandshrew, might not be the most exciting choice. However, its Alolan variant, Alolan Sandslash, has gained popularity in the Big League and may even be the most popular steel type right now. Normal Sandshrew still has limited metagames and potential for the future.
Staryu
Staryu may not be the most powerful Pokemon, but it offers a whopping 750 Stardust when captured. Don’t forget to catch as many Staryu as possible to stock up on Stardust.
Magikarp
Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, a powerful Pokemon in both Ultra League and Master League. Gyarados water typing and dragon type moves make it unique and versatile. It is also the best raid attacking water type and a good choice for Mega Evolution.
Dunspars
Although Dunspars is an unassuming Pokemon, it has found its place in the Big League thanks to its decent mass. It is more of a Rock-Ground type game and has potential for Ultra League with the introduction of its Dudunsparce evolution.
Hitmantop
Hitmontop has recently seen an increase in its potential as a Fighting-type Pokemon. With access to Ice’s triple axel, he has become one of the best options in the Ultraleague. In the big leagues, he remains a spicy/limited meta pick, but with improved reach and power.
It’s loud
Loudred isn’t particularly useful in PvP or PvE battles. However, it gives extra candies after capture, making it a good choice for stockpiling resources.
So, if you’re attending the City Safari event in Barcelona, Spain, keep an eye out for these Pokemon. They will improve your gameplay and give you a competitive edge.
