Through two exciting PvP Seasons, the Arena Meta Team has created and released over 20 different PvP metas. We've seen metas of all sorts, including some based on Pokémon types, like the Twilight and Forest Cups, Generation restrictions in the Rainbow and Forest Cups, the species whitelist with the Ferocious Cup, and more! Now it's time for you to test your meta-creation skills! In September, the Arena is asking you, the community, to submit your best meta idea for the first ever Silph Arena Player's Choice Cup! The top meta submitted will be the official Cup during the Arena offseason!
Who will be crowned the first ever Silph Arena World Champion?
In June, four champions emerged as the top competitors in the Arena! On August 29th, they will face off to see who truly stands at the pinnacle of the PvP world. The 2020 Silph Arena World Championships are almost here!
