Here are all of the best Pokemon that you can use in your battle team to easily win in the Pokemon GO Summer Cup!
The GO Battle League is where Pokemon GO players can compete against each other and earn some great rewards.
However, if you want to win your battles, you’ll need to have a team of powerful Pokemon for each GO Battle League competition.
The latest cup to come to the game is the Summer Cup. Not only does this have a CP limit, but you can only use Pokemon of certain types in it too!
Pokemon GO Summer Cup Start Date & End Date
The Pokemon GO Battle League Summer Cup started on August 10 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST. It will be active for a week and conclude at the same time on August 17.
Check out the full Pokemon GO Battle League schedule to see what cups will be active in the next few weeks.
What Are the Summer Cup Rules?
- Max CP Per Pokemon: 1500
- Can only use these Pokemon types:
- Fire

While these are the only two rules for the Pokemon GO Summer Cup, they greatly limit which Pokemon you can use.
Best Pokemon to Use in the Pokemon GO Summer Cup
The best Pokemon to use in the Pokemon GO Summer Cup are:
- Pachirisu
- Lickitung
- Trevenant
- Diggersby
- Tropius
- Galvantula
Check out the table below to find out their type and the best attacks for them. It’s also worth noting that any marked with (XL) will require XL Candy to power up to near the CP limit of 1500.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that both Pachirsu and Tropius are some of the region-exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon GO. Therefore, if you don’t have them now, you probably won’t be able to get them before the Pokemon GO Summer Cup is over.
However, Joltik is one of many Pokemon spawning in the wild during the Bug Out event. therefore, you should be able to get a powerful Galvantula pretty easily!
