Rules & restrictions
While the Little Edition states that only Pokemon at or below 500 CP are eligible to enter, the Great Edition allows Pokemon at or under 1,500 CP.
Additionally – in both scenarios – only Poison, Bug, Ghost, Dark, and Fairy-type Pokemon can participate, as it is a Halloween tournament and the theme must be followed.
While this puts a limit on any trainer’s potential team, they can widen their roster options with catches from Raids, Field Research tasks, and Egg hatches. Plus, we have a list of the best Pokemon to add to your Halloween Cup Little Edition and Great League Edition.
