The Spring Cup

Take on a new GO Battle League Challenge! The latest GO Battle League themed Cup - the Spring Cup - is now available on silph.gg! With it comes a new chance to prove your skill and increase your global and local player ranking. Spring Cup tournaments will follow the same basic rules as all Silph Arena Cups, but with a special twist! Here’s what you need to know:

What Is The Spring Cup?

The Spring Cup is a unique format played during the Season 13 of GO battle League. During this time (February 17^th - February 28^th), local Silph League communities host and record a special tournament using the free Silph.gg tools. Wins and losses in this local tournament affect your player rank on local and global leaderboards, and can help you progress towards higher player tiers!

All players are welcome to compete, whether it’s your first tournament or your hundredth! Find a local tournament near you on the Tournament Map!

Spring Cup Rules

The Spring Cup has a few special rules (designed to provide added challenge and fun) that differ from standard PvP combat in Pokemon GO:

• Team of 6: Competitors will bring a team of 6 Pokemon (and register them before the tournament begins). All battle parties used must be comprised of these 6 Pokemon.
• Great League: Matches are played in Great League: only Pokemon up to 1500 CP are permitted in the Cup.
• Spring Pokémon Only: Only Pokemon with the Water, Grass or Fairy type are allowed in the Spring Cup, dual types included. Toxapex isn't allowed in the Spring Cup.
• Eligible List: What follows is the official list of exactly which species are permitted for use in the Spring Cup:
