Pokemon GO‘s Master League has opened up for trainers all over the world to compete in. Because of the Master League being entirely made up of PVP battles, there are certain Pokemon that have become more popular than others to take down the competition.
Players of all skill levels are highly recommended to participate in the Master League, as there isn’t any real downside to losing. Pokemon that are fainted or damaged during PVP battles return to their original health after the battle is over. However, winning any battle during the Master League will guarantee some kind of prize that can be helpful while playing Pokemon GO.

In the Master League, there is no limit to the amount of CP a Pokemon can have, meaning that some of the very best Pokemon will be battling. Unless players are competing in the Premier Cup, there will additionally be many Legendary Pokemon sent out by trainers competing in numerous raids beforehand. This can be a tough battle for some trainers, but there are some Pokemon that are more highly recommended than others to bring along for the ride.
As mentioned before, Legendary Pokemon are the most likely Pokemon for players to see during the Master League. This is because of the sheer power that comes from both their stats and moves. However, there are a few non-Legendary Pokemon that are also on the top-ranked teams in Pokemon GO’s Master League.
The majority of the top teams include two Pokemon in specific. They are:
- Giratina (Altered Form) – Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw
- Dialga – Metal Claw and Draco Meteor
These two Pokemon are very effective in the Master League’s PVP, but many of the high ranking teams have a different Pokemon serve as the third team member. The top Pokemon in this category are:
- Palkia – Dragon Tail and Hydro Pump
- Kyogre – Waterfall and Surf
- Zekrom – Dragon Breath and Outrage
- Metagross – Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash
- Togekiss – Charm and Dazzling Gleam
- Lugia – Extrasensory and Sky Attack
- Reshiram – Dragon Breath and Overheat
- Melmetal – Thunder Shock and Flash Canon
- Mewtwo – Confusion and Psystrike
- Dragonite – Dragon Breath and Outrage
- Swampert (Shadow) – Mud Shot and Hydro Canon
- Latios – Dragon Breath and Psychic
- Groudon – Dragon Tail and Earthquake
- Snorlax (Shadow) – Lick and Hyper Beam
While many of these Pokemon are also Legendary Pokemon, some of these can be caught and raised like any other Pokemon. However, players should note that event the top rated teams have a win rate of a little over 3 out of 5 battles. This means that not ever battle is a guaranteed victory with these teams, especially because these teams are very popular in the current meta.
