The Holiday Cup: Little Edition<\/strong> is a limited-time cup that celebrates the winter holidays in the Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em><\/a> Battle League. With a small selection of eligible Pok\u00e9mon types and a very low CP limit to adhere to, it\u2019s going to require some careful planning and a bit of luck to put together the best team possible.<\/p>\n

You can compete in the Holiday Cup: Little Edition from Dec. 17 to Dec. 24, 2024<\/strong>. It will then return from Dec. 31, 2024, to Jan. 7, 2025<\/strong>. With a total of two weeks to take part, it\u2019s worth investing some resources into creating a solid team. We\u2019ve rounded up some of the best options below.<\/p>\n

Holiday Cup: Little Edition restrictions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like most themed cups, there are quite a few restrictions to be aware of when entering the Holiday Cup: Little Edition. Only electric, flying, grass, ice, normal, and ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> are eligible, while the \u2018little\u2019 part means there\u2019s a 500 CP limit on all Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

In terms of types, there are six to choose from, which is quite generous when compared to other limited-time cups that only allow a few types of Pok\u00e9mon to enter. Remember that you can also use dual-type Pok\u00e9mon, which makes the team-building process a little easier.<\/p>\n

The 500 CP limit can be a benefit or a hindrance, depending on the state of your current Pok\u00e9mon collection. Generally, having a low CP limit makes a cup more accessible, as you won\u2019t need as many resources or high-level Pok\u00e9mon to be in with a chance of winning.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, many Pok\u00e9mon are caught above the 500 CP limit, or you might have previously powered up the perfect Pok\u00e9mon too high for it to compete. With these themed cups, it\u2019s often a case of making the best of what you\u2019ve already got in your collection.<\/p>\n
