Best PvP picks from the Pokemon GO Sweet Discoveries event

1) Flapple

Flapple stats and moves

• Type: Grass/Dragon
• Attack: 214
• Defense: 144
• Stamina: 172
• Max CP: 2788
• Fast Attacks: Dragon Breath and Bullet Seed
• Charged Attacks: Seed Bomb, Fly, Dragon Pulse, and Outrage

Flapple is the offensive evolution of Applin with high attack and modest defenses. Someone with a keen eye likely noticed that it has access to the Charged Move Fly, which is one of the best Flying-type moves in the game. This alone may make Flapple a potent threat in the Great League and worth hunting for in the Pokemon GO Sweet Discoveries event.

2) Appletun

Appletun stats and moves

• Type: Grass/Dragon
• Attack: 178
• Defense: 146
• Stamina: 242
• Max CP: 2772
• Fast Attacks: Bullet Seed and Astonish
• Charged Attacks: Seed Bomb, Energy Ball, Dragon Pulse, and Outrage

The defensive counterpart to Flapple, Appletun is meant to take hits with its high stamina, especially from Water-types like Azumarill. However, with access to the Charged Attack Outrage, it has the potential to deal damage and not just be stuck as a passive wall.

3) Victreebel

Victreebel stats and moves

• Type: Grass/Poison
• Attack: 207
• Defense: 135
• Stamina: 190
• Max CP: 2748
• Fast Attacks: Razor Leaf, Acid, and Magical Leaf* (* indicates legacy move)
• Charged Attacks: Sludge Bomb, Solar Beam, Acid Spray, Leaf Blade, and Leaf Tornado

Victreebel is a glass cannon, meaning it hits hard but is quite frail. However, if it is taught the legacy move, Magical Leaf, it can generate meter quickly enough to deal a few powerful Charged Attacks before going down.

4) Alakazam

Alakazam stats and moves

• Type: Psychic
• Attack: 271
• Defense: 167
• Stamina: 146
• Max CP: 3456
• Fast Attacks: Psycho Cut, Confusion, and Counter* (* indicates legacy move)
• Charged Attacks: Psychic*, Shadow Ball, Dazzling Gleam*, Fire Punch, Focus Blast, and Future Sight

Alakazam is not as much of a threat in the meta as it once was, thanks to power creep. However, if a player is willing to invest and provide it with the legacy moves Counter and Psychic, it can still be quite deadly. This makes it worth hunting for an Abra with good stats in the Pokemon GO Sweet Discoveries event.

5) Greedent

Greedent stats and moves

• Type: Normal
• Attack: 160
• Defense: 156
• Stamina: 260
• Max CP: 2679
• Fast Attacks: Bite, Tackle, Bullet Seed, and Mud Shot
• Charged Attacks: Body Slam, Trailblaze, and Crunch

While Normal-type isn't particularly useful as an offensive type, Greedent has great Stamina and, subsequently, can tank a lot of hits in the Great League. It has decent STAB for both a Fast Attack (Tackle) and a Charged Attack (Body Slam) and has decent coverage in Trailblaze and Crunch
