Holiday Cup Begins In Pokémon GO Battle League Season 10

GO Battle League Season Ten continues in Pokémon GO. Right now, both Ultra League and Ultra League Remix are available but Niantic is offering PVP fans a special gift for the holidays. Today, an additional option arrives in GO Battle League with the Holiday Cup which has a CP limit of 1,500 per Pokémon. What separates this cup from that standard Great League is that it only permits Grass-, Electric-, Ice-, Flying-, and Ghost-type Pokémon in this festive offering. Prepare to take your buddies into battle with this guide, breaking down the top species to use in Pokémon GO Holiday Cup bouts right now.
