Right now, the Great League is back for a second round but all eyes are on the special, limited offering of the Halloween Cup. Let's take a look at the meta of Halloween Cup, which uses the Great League CP limit of 1,500 per Pokémon. In this Cup, only Poison-, Bug-, Ghost-, Dark-, and Fairy-types are permitted. Prepare to take your buddies into battle with this guide, breaking down the top species to use in Pokémon GO Halloween Cup bouts right now.

The top-ranked Pokémon for the Halloween Cup in Pokémon GO include:
