Pokemon GO players will soon witness the Electric Cup's return in the Great League. This special format of the Pokemon GO Battle League will start on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at 1 pm Pacific Time (PT), and will end a week later on Saturday, November 11, 2023, at 2 pm PT. Since you will be playing in the Great League in this edition of the Electric Cup, you cannot use creatures that have a Combat Power (CP) of 1,500 or more.

Besides the Combat Power cap, there are two more restrictions in this Cup of the Pokemon GO Battle League that you need to keep in mind:

  • You can only play with Electric-type Pocket Monsters.
  • You cannot use Stunfisk, Heliolisk, Charjabug, and Vikavolt.

Note: The teams mentioned in this article only reflect the writer’s point of view. Moves marked with ‘*’ are Legacy moves and you will need an Elite TM to teach these to your creatures in Pokemon GO.
