Just in time for the Slowpoke Community Day later in the week, the Psychic Cup Great League Edition has gone live for the Pokemon GO Battle League. Specialized cups are always welcome on the PvP side of the game, and per usual, Trainers will want the best picks possible.
As the game continues to change or add new Pokemon, the meta in each cup will have a different look. It’s easy to get lost in all the changes, but we have you covered. Our guide will cover the rules for the Psychic Cup GL and what the best picks are so your team can succeed.

When you’re choosing which Pokemon you’ll use for your Psychic Cup team, keep in mind that synergy is important. You’ll need a good lead that can burn shields, a defensive pick to soak up attacks, and a closer to finish the job in the Pokemon GO Battle League.
