For the Spring Cup, there are a few decent combinations of Pokémon you can take in so long as they are below 1,5000 CP and match the typing.
Galarian Weezing is by far the best one you can use and has a decent move pool to make the most. If you have one that knows Overheat, Sludge, and Fairy Wind, you’ll be set up to destroy most types of Pokémon you come across. You’ll likely face a lot of mirror matches, though, so make sure you have a counter for it where possible.
If you lead with Galarian Weezing, you can then pair it with something like a Ferrothorn (Bullet Seed, Power Whip, Flash Cannon), Lapras (Psywave, Sparkling Aurra/Ice Beam), or even a Klefki (Astonish, Foul Play, Play Rough) as some options.
The Klefki’s Steel-typing makes it great to use against other Fairy-type Pokémon and is a great pick into the Glarian Weezing, while Lapras and Ferrothorn, especially Shadow Ferrothorn, are just strong picks in general for the Great League overall, and have a diverse amount of moves to deal with the types of Pokémon you’ll be coming up against.
Moving on from those, though, you can also bring in something like Tentacruel (Poison Jab, Acid Spray, Sludge Wave) or a Shadow Abomasnow (Powder Snow, Weather Ball, Energy Ball) instead. Abomasnow’s Ice-type moveset can help it take down a lot of the Grass-types you’ll come up against, while Tentacruel is just good in certain matchups.
If it were up to me, I’d be taking in a team of Galaring Weezing paired with a Klefki and Shadow Abomasnow, there’s also the option of switching in the Klefki for Lapras to work against the Galarian Weezing mirror match, but without Ice Beam, which is a Event/Elite TM move, you’ll be weak to any and all Grass-type Pokémon.
Here is a full list of Pokémon to consider, alongside movesets.
