In Pokemon GO in February 2025, unique battle formats will be organized as part of the GO Battle League competition. One such is the Love Cup: Great League Edition, where trainers are encouraged to use Pokemon with a CP less than 1500 that sport a red or pink color scheme. Some of the picks fit for the Love Cup include Lickitung, Seaking, Medicham, Alomomola, and Lurantis.

The Master League: Mega Edition will be another exciting PvP format that trainers won't want to miss. In this combat mode, Mega Pokemon will be allowed to enter.
