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. However, getting strong Pokémon at that low of a level 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. Coincidentally, many of these involve Pokémon Yellow.

- Tentacruel and Seadra are not obtainable below level 20.
- Ponyta, Koffing and Seel are offered as rentals. While they are obtainable at level 15 with tradebacks, there is no other way to obtain them at any qualifying level. Ignoring tradebacks, their lowest possible levels are 28, 30 and 22, respectively.
- Some of the rental Pokémon also feature illegal movesets.
- Poliwrath knows Double Slap at level 15. This move is learned by its Pre-evolutions 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-evolution 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 legally use Supersonic at level 15.
- 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.
- Certain Pokémon are not offered as rentals, despite being available at a low enough level.
