Some cups in the GO Battle League will implement strict rules, but this version will simply allow certain types that follow the haunted theme of the month. Along with the type restrictions, there are two different CP ranks that can be played so options are far more versatile in the community. Our guide will give you plenty of options to utilize in your own Pokémon GO Battle League matches.

Best Picks for the Great and Ultra League – Pokémon GO Halloween Cup

When you jump into the Halloween Cup, regardless of CP, you can only choose from a select set of types. These include Bug, Fairy, Ghost, Dark, and Poison-type Pokémon for your team. At the moment, the Ultra League is live, so the 2,500 CP Pokémon will be prioritized. But below you can find eight fantastic options for a team in either league.
