Pokemon GO Love Cup Returns for Valentine's Event After Hiatus

The fan-favorite PvP competition, featuring only red and pink Pokémon under 1,500 CP, is back from February 4 to February 18, 2025.

The Love Cup, a Valentine's Day-themed Pokémon GO Battle League event, is returning after being absent in 2024.
The competition allows only red and pink Pokémon with a CP limit of 1,500, creating a unique and challenging PvP format.
Popular Pokémon choices for the Love Cup include Lickilicky, Galarian Slowbro, Clefable, and Alomomola, though strategies may evolve due to the year-long gap.
Niantic has not yet released an official ban list, but datamines suggest some Pokémon like Skeledirge and Bruxish may be excluded this year.
The event runs from February 4 to February 18, 2025, with a bonus of quadrupled Stardust rewards for wins during the second week.
