Color Cup
Color Cup restricts entries to one published color (Green, Yellow, Blue, etc.) at 1500 CP. Each rerun changes the featured color and produces a new oddball meta.
Color Cup is the visual-theme format and the most chaotic of the rotation. The eligible-mon list is published per-season based on primary color (Green Cup is grass-greens + green dragons; Yellow Cup pulls Electrics + Sand-types; etc.).
Because the eligibility list is hand-curated by color rather than typing, the meta tends to surprise — expect unusual leads and watch the patch notes for the published roster.
- CP ≤ 1500.
- Only mons matching the published primary color may enter.
- Eligibility is published per rerun — color filter is not type-based.
- Most reruns publish ~50-80 eligible mons.
Vine Whip + Frenzy Plant + Sludge Bomb. The default Green Cup anchor — Grass/Poison fits multiple Color Cup rosters.
Wing Attack + Weather Ball (Water) + Hurricane. Strong Blue Cup pick — Water/Flying double coverage.
Thunder Shock + Thunder Punch + Brick Break. Yellow Cup top pick — Electric STAB + Fighting coverage.
Fire Spin + Dragon Claw + Blast Burn. The Red Cup standby — orange/red qualifies in most Red rerun lists.
Mud Shot + Mud Bomb / Blizzard. Water/Ground bulk that qualifies in Blue Cup runs and surprises Electrics.
Mud Shot + Rock Slide + Earthquake. Brown-ish color keeps it eligible in many Earth-toned Color Cup rosters.
