Pokemon	Role	Fast Attack	Charged Attacks
Togetic	Lead	Fairy Wind	Aerial Ace and Ancient Power
Diggersby	Switch	Mud Shot	Fire Punch and Scorching Sands
Barboach	Closer	Mud Shot	Aqua Tail and Mud Bomb

This is another of the A-B-B-style teams for Galar Cup: Little Edition in Pokemon GO that combines a Flier with two Ground-types. Togetic has strong offensive pressure with the newly buffed Fairy Wind, while the remaining critters are more defensively useful. The trio is extremely spammy with fast-charging Fast Attacks and low-energy Charged Moves.

Note: Diggersby has to be between levels 11.5 - 14 for this format. If you are evolving a Bunnelby for this Cup, make sure it is within this range.
