Win your Spring Cup PvP Battles in Pokémon GO with our best Pokémon guide.

The Spring Cup is back in Pokémon GO PvP until April 22. The Spring Cup returns in the Great League Edition, meaning that Pokémon cannot be higher than 1500 CP with additional restrictions on top. That means that your usual Great League team will not apply.

The Pokémon GO Color Cup is restricted to Grass, Water and Fairy-type Pokémon. Only Pokémon that have any of those three types are eligible. As per normal Great League rules, these Pokémon must be 1500 CP or below. In addition, Jumpluff, Roserade and Toxapex are not allowed.

So, what are some of the best Pokémon you can use to rack up victories in the Pokémon GO Spring Cup: Great League Edition.

What is the best team for the Pokémon GO Spring Cup: Great League Edition?

It's hard to always say there is a one size fits all best team for any single Pokémon GO PvP Cup or League. After all, Pokémon GO PvP is all about counters, specific movesets and thinking outside the box to get one up on your opponent. So bear that in mind.

However, statistically the best team for the Pokémon GO Spring Cup: Great League Edition is Glarian Weezing, Ferrothorn and Lapras. Shadow Galarian Weezing will also work great.

This team gives you a good range of type coverage, with these Pokémon having a range of moves in a range of categories. In addition, none of these Pokémon need XL candy in order to reach the top end of the 1500 CP limit. That means that you don't need spend a lot of resources for what is a temporary cup.

Spring Cup: Great League Edition meta overview

There are a lot of easily accessible Pokémon that are very good to use in the Spring Cup: Great League edition. Pokémon like Galarian Weezing, Ferrothorn and Venusaur are common and easily obtained. Lapras also has featured recently, and don't forget a G-Max Lapras would also be eligible when in its standard form.

Be warned that while several Shadow Pokémon are all very useful in the Spring Cup: Great League Edition, Shadow Pokémon are more expensive to power up, and much harder to get optimised IV values for. For a temporary PvP Cup, it might not be worth the investment. This advice would also apply to any Pokémon needing XL candy to reach 1500 CP. However, for this cup, there aren't any.

However, using any of those Pokémon will stand you in good stead for your battles in the Spring Cup: Great League Edition. Good luck out there Trainers!
