'Pokemon GO' Love Cup: New Valentine's Day-Themed Battle League Event's Details; Attack Updates and More

"Pokemon GO" will join the players to celebrate the upcoming Valentine's Day. The popular adventure game will have a new Battle League event called Love Cup!

The new seasonal event will bring new exciting changes that will grab the fans' attention. According to Dot Esports' latest report, Niantic, the game's developer, is currently preparing the fans for the next limited-run Pokémon Go Battle League event that will coincide with the holiday.

What makes this new event exciting is it will not be like the previous events. Instead of allowing the use of Pokemon from specific regions or limiting the pool to a certain type of matchups, Love Cup will is expected to be more general.

When will Love Cup start?

The new event of "Pokemon GO' is expected to run from Feb. 8 to Feb. 15. Once Love Cup starts, the players will only be able to compete with the Pokemon listed have color pink or red in the game's database. Legendary and Mythical Pokemon will not be included in the matchups and the set will be limited to 1,500.

Speculations claimed that the game developer decided to use the colors pink and red so that Charmander and Scrafty will be included.

However, it is still confusing for some players since Charmander only becomes red when he evolves to Charmeleon. On the other hand, Scrafty only red linings, and his body is far from being full red in color.

Niantic also clarified that Galarian Darumaka, Galarian Mr. Mime, and Galarian Darmanitan are also not included in the event.
