If you want to succeed in the Pokemon GO Battle League Halloween Cup, you’ll need to use the best team for it!
It’s spooky season and Pokemon GO is celebrating with an event as well as the return of the Halloween Cup in the GO Battle League.
As only the creepiest Pokemon are allowed to take part, making a team for this competition can be tough. Luckily, we’ve got a list of the best Pokemon to use as well as their strongest attacks for you!
Best Pokemon Team to Use in the Halloween Cup
The best Pokemon to use in the Halloween Cup are Toxapex, Froslass, and Mandibuzz. However, there are plenty of other great options for you to try.
If you don’t have one already, here’s how to get Toxapex in Pokemon GO.
Here are the top 10 Pokemon to use:
| Pokemon | Image | Type | Fast Attack | Charged Attacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toxapex |  | Poison/Water | Poison Jab | Brine Sludge Wave |
| Mandibuzz |  | Dark/Flying | Air Slash | Aerial Ace Foul Play |

Every Pokemon with an XL next to them requires XL Candy to get up to the CP limit. Here are the fastest ways to get XL Candy in Pokemon GO!
You’ll also want to teach your Pokemon the most powerful attacks we’ve listed. Here’s how to get Elite Fast and Charged TMs in Pokemon GO so you can do that.
Pokemon GO Halloween Cup Rules
There are two rules for the Halloween Cup that limit the CP and type of the Pokemon you can use:
- Pokemon must be 1500 CP or below
- Only Pokemon of these types are eligible:
- Bug
- Dark
- Fairy

While this limits your choices somewhat, there are still plenty of Pokemon you can pick from.
Be sure to experiment with your team so that you can win more battles and earn all of the GO Battle League rewards in the Season of Light.
