Niantic is celebrating Valentine’s Day in Pokemon Go with a Love Cup tournament. The unique contest flips the game’s meta on its head. Here is the best team and counters that will lead you to victory.
On February 14, Pokemon Go will host a special Valentine’s Day challenge. The week-long event will feature increased spawn rates for popular ‘mon, as well as a full range of rewards and goodies.
The celebration will also have something to offer for competitive Trainers with the Love Cup tournament which starts days before on the 8th. We will go over the best strategies that will have you breaking the hearts of your opponents.
Pokemon Go Love Cup meta
Niantic made things interesting with the Go cup as there are only 105 Pokemon under1500CPthat can actually be used in the tournament. The competition will also heavily revolve around Charm users, which requires Trainers to be creative with their team.
Most users are going to base their team aroundClefableandWigglytuff, as theirCharm attackcan take down powerful Fighting ‘mon such as Hoenn’s Medicham.Alomomolais the perfect third teammate in this combination. ItsWaterfallandHydro Pumpwill keep Fire counters running.
Fire-types such asCharizardandTalonflamewill wipe the floor against Fairy types. Below we will list the best Pokemon you should bring into the Valentine’s Day tournament.
Best Pokemon for Love Cup
Note: F= Fast Attack and C = Charged Specials.
Fairy (Counters Fighting + Dragon + Dark)
Fire (Counters Fairy + Grass)
Water (Counters Fire + Rock)
Best overall team
In our opinion, this trio of ‘mon is your safest bet. You aren’t guaranteed to win every counter, but it’s a solid team that will consistently get you wins. Clefable and Wigglytuff will eat through Fighting, Dragon, and Dark types.

Alomomola will act as a shield/tank, and its Water moves will take out any serious counters to the Fairy duo. Blizzard makes it versatile to take out Grass and Flying monsters – making this a fairly well-rounded team.
The Love Cup will run fromFebruary 8at1:00PMtoFebruary 15at1:00PMlocal time. Players just need to log in during the dates and go to the Battle menu to participate.
While there is no perfect team for the competition, Niantic has put some restrictions. Those looking for a fun challenge should give it a shot as it’s definitely something different from the usual meta.
