The Justicar Cup

Get ready for a new challenge beginning on March 6th! With it comes a new chance to prove your skill and increase your global and local player ranking! The Justicar Cup follows the same basic rules as all Silph Arena global cups, but this month it comes with a special twist! Here's what you need to know:

What Is The Justicar Cup?

Each month the Silph Arena holds a month-long Cup - a 'themed' PvP tournament - that provides tens of thousands of trainers around the world a specially-designed competitive challenge and a chance to prove they're the very best. The Silph Arena is the world's largest global network for ranked Pokémon GO^TM tournament play.

During the Cup (March 6^th - March 20^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

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!

Justicar Cup Rules

The Justicar 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.
• Ultra League: Matches are played in Ultra League: only Pokemon up to 2500 CP are permitted in the Cup.
• Ignite your team team: Alolan Muk, Hisuian Qwilfish, Honchkrow, Machamp, Malamar, Poliwrath, Primeape, and Sirfetch’d, and Pokémon with Fire, Electric, Grass and Ground typings (including dual types) are allowed with a few exceptions
  • Dragon-Types, Steel-Types, Rock-Types, Water/Ground Dual Types, Abomasnow, Diggersby, Dugtrio, Lanturn, Nidoqueen, Ninetales, Pachirisu, Salazzle, Stunfisk, and Whimsicott, and Shadow Pokémon are not eligible to use in the Justicar Cup.
  • Mega Pokémon are not eligible to use in the Justicar Cup.
• Eligible List: What follows is the official list of exactly which species are permitted for use in the Justicar Cup:
