To celebrate the spookiest time of year, a new limited-time PVP cup has been added toPokemon GO,called the Halloween Cup, with more special limits than just a simple CP limit. Instead, only certain Pokemon types are allowed to participate.
Because of the time of year and the current main event occurring inPokemon GO, it isn’t hard to find Pokemon to participate. However, some are going to be better than others, with players really needing to plan around what kind of team they want.

There are only five different Pokemon types allowed in the Halloween Cup. They are bug, poison, dark, fairy, andghost-types. Pokemon with another type alongside the allowed types are also permitted. Additionally, there is a CP limit of 1,500 for each Pokemon in the party.
Because of the limits in place, many players can’t take advantage ofpowerful Legendary Pokemonor beefed up fully evolved Pokemon. However, this just means that more planning needs to be done for players' teams.
