Pokémon GO's Psychic Cup is a small, limited-time event that is part of the game's Trainer Battles. This quick guide will tell you which Pokémon are best suited for the Psychic Cup.

How do I access the Psychic Cup in Pokémon GO? What are the restrictions?

The Psychic Cup in Pokémon GO is a small game mode that will be available from March 15 to March 22, 2023:

  1. From the main menu, click on the Poké Ball icon.

The Psychic Cup in Pokémon GO has some limitations:
