PvP Rankings

Pokemon GO Battle League PvP is upon us!

Pokebattler supports both GO Battle League and Silph Arena Cups. Our Random Shield settings are a great way to quickly analyze which Pokemon have the advantage over others. But dive in to see all the different shield scenarios.

The Top 30 rankings give you an idea of what wins against the general field. The Counters rankings lets you know which Pokemon beat the Top 30 mons. Finally, current meta and predicted meta matrix links allow you to see how the top 24 most popular Pokemon fair against a short list of meta Pokemon. Pokemon GO Battle League PVP is very complex but these rankings should get you started!

Great League
Great League
1500
Pokemon GO Battle League begins each season with Great League. It is mostly free of legendaries and has a wide array of possible Pokemon. It is dominated by low attack defensive Pokemon like Galarian Stunfisk and Azumarill.
Ultra League
Ultra League
2500
Pokemon GO Battle League continues with Ultra League second in each season. Ultra league is a Pokemon Go PvP format that favors defensive heavy hitters such as Giratina and Cresselia. Most competitive Pokemon are expensive to power up but there are some lower stardust options.
Master League
Master League
Pokemon GO Battle League will then have Master League third in each season. Master League is a Pokemon Go PvP format without any limits and is dominated by level 40 defensive Legendaries and dragon types with dual charge moves. This is a very expensive league to be competitive in and is not recommended for beginners.
Premier Cup Classic
Premier Cup Classic
6000
Pokemon GO Battle League has added Premier Cup to run at the same time as Master League. Premier Cup is like Master League but does not allow Mythical or Legendary Pokemon. It is dominated by level 40 pseudo-legendaries with dual charge moves. This is a slightly more affordable league than Master league but is also not recommended for beginners.
Ultra Premier Cup Classic
Ultra Premier Cup Classic
2500
Pokemon GO Battle League has added an Ultra League version of Premier Cup to run at the same time as Ultra League. Ultra Premier Cup is like Ultra League but does not allow Mythical or Legendary Pokemon. It is dominated by community day Pokemon with powerful legacy moves that are not available without elite TMs.

We hope you are as excited as we are about what PvP brings to Pokemon Go. We hope these lists help guide you to building a strong team. Pokebattler will continue working on providing more refined lists and additional PvP features as time goes on.
