Pokemon Go: Battle League Tier List

Win more Pokemon battles by using this ultimate Pokemon Go: Battle League tier list, including tier lists for Great League, Ultra League, and Master League.

Battle League, Pokemon Go’s version of a player-vs-player (PvP) mode is one of the most rewarding experiences out there. Since you can battle other players from around the globe, the competition is intense and immensely satisfying.

With such a large trainer and Pokemon pool, it’s imperative to wisely prepare before any engagement in Battle League.

This is where a tier list becomes helpful. We’ve compiled rankings for the best and worst Pokemons to use for each of Battle League’s tiers: Great League, Ultra League, and Master League.

The developers themselves stated that they divided PvP into three events so there would be an incentive to use different Pokemon from both ends of the spectrum. For example, S-Tier Pokemon in the Great League may not be as strong for other modes (especially PvE content).

Now with that out of the way, let’s get started with the Pokemon Go Tier List for the Battle League.
