Pika Cup

The background for the Pika Cup Stadium mode

Pika Cup (Japanese: イエローカップ Yellow Cup) is the lowest-level Stadium Cup in Pokémon Stadium which did not return in Pokémon Stadium 2.

It is a cup for low level Pokémon between level 15 to level 20. The sum of the levels of the three Pokémon chosen cannot be more than 50. Technically, all Pokémon except for Mewtwo and Mew are eligible to enter (although only Mew is listed as prohibited in the in-game rules list). However, obtaining Pokémon at such low levels, especially evolved Pokémon, can get quite complicated. While some are catchable at low levels in certain versions (e.g. level 15 Dragonair in Pokémon Yellow), others are more complex and involve trading with in-game Trainers, then trading these Pokémon to different in-game Trainers in different games.

  • Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Nidorina, Nidoqueen, Nidorino, and Nidoking are not obtainable below level 16.
  • Tentacruel and Seadra are not obtainable below level 20.
  • Ponyta, Seel, and Koffing are offered as rentals. They are only obtainable at level 15 with tradebacks, Without a Generation II game, their lowest possible levels are 28, 22, and 30, respectively.
• Some of the rental Pokémon also feature illegal movesets.
  • Poliwrath knows Double Slap at level 15. This move is learned by its pre-evolved forms, Poliwag and Poliwhirl, at levels 25 and 26, respectively, while the maximum level allowed is level 20, meaning Poliwrath can not use Double Slap in the cup without glitches or tradebacks.
  • Cloyster knows Aurora Beam, Clamp, and Supersonic at level 15. These moves are learned by its pre-evolved form, Shellder, at level 30, 23, and 18 respectively. The maximum level allowed is level 20, meaning Cloyster can not use Aurora Beam or Clamp in the cup without glitches or tradebacks. It also cannot use Supersonic at level 15 without glitches or tradebacks.
  • Gyarados knows Hydro Pump, Leer, and Bite at level 15. While these moves are learned by Gyarados at level 1 in Red, Green, and Blue, it is not possible to catch a level 15 Gyarados in those games without glitches. A level 15 Gyarados caught in Yellow only comes with Tackle due to a change in learnset. Due to this, it is impossible for Gyarados to use Hydro Pump or Leer in the cup without glitches or tradebacks (with the latter requiring Pokémon Stadium 2's Move Relearner and the level 15 Gyarados on a Red, Green, or Blue cart). However, Bite can be used by a level 20 Gyarados, as it learns Bite at this level regardless of version.
• Certain Pokémon are not offered as rentals, despite being available at a low enough level.
  • Level 15 Golduck, Slowbro, and Dragonair are available in Pokémon Yellow at Routes 6, 12, and the Safari Zone respectively.
  • Level 18 Doduo are available in Pokémon Red and Blue at Route 16.
  • Various Pokémon are also available at a low enough level through in-game trades, including Machamp, Electrode, and Rhydon.
• The music that plays during the final match of the Pika Cup in Stadium 1 contains remixed portions of the cave music from Red and Blue.
