Trainers head back to the basics with the Element Cup in the Pokémon GO<\/a> Battle League. Season 11 of the League has brought in a few new Cups for everyone to try, but the Element version has been tried before and it garnered plenty of popularity.<\/p>\n

While some Cups like the Great League Remix focus on small meta changes, the Element Cup shakes up the whole formula for what can be used. It’s similar to the Little Cup, but the options are even more limited. Trainers will need to rely on Fire, Water, and Grass-types to take down opponents and claim their ranks.<\/p>\n

What are the rules of the Element Cup in Pokémon GO?<\/h2>\n

As the name suggests, the Element Cup is focused on the three basic elements in general. Fire, Water, and Grass-types are the only Pokémon that are allowed to enter the Cup. These are the three types that define the starters in every generation of mainline Pokémon games and they are some of the most powerful options for this Cup.<\/p>\n

Another rule for the Element Cup is the CP limit itself. You can only use Pokémon that are at 500 CP or lower, so that severely limits the options that can be used for your team. This is the reason why saving low CP picks with great stats is always a good idea for Trainers who like to battle in PvP.<\/p>\n
