Best Master League Team Pokemon GO: How to Conquer the Master League

Best Master League team in Pokemon GO all depends on composition.

The Pokemon GO Battle League has become one of the most popular features in Niantic Labs' AR mobile game, Pokemon GO. This, of course, comes as a surprise to no-one. Veteran fans can recall a time, about a year ago, when "trainer battles" and "trading" were at the top of the list for features we wanted to see.

Fortunately, just like the main series games, Pokemon GO has its own meta that can be exploited for trainer gain. Here's some tips to get you to the top of the Master League.

The Master League tier allows for any CP to be entered. There is no limit on how strong your Pokemon are allowed to be. This opens the door to several meta-heavy builds featuring extremely strong opponents.

The top performers in the Master League tier are:

• Dialga
• Giratina
• Dragonite
• Garchomp
• Togekiss
• Kyogre
• Groudon
• Mewtwo
• Darkrai
• Snorlax

The first thing you should notice is the overwhelming amount of dragon-types on this list. This means you'll likely see teams with one—if not several—dragons on them. Smart trainers will know that dragons are weak to a few types, namely dragon, ice, and fairy.

This is why Togekiss and Kyogre have made a name for themselves in this tier. Kyogre has the ability to learn ice-type charged moves and Togekiss, itself, is a fairy-type. Good Master League teams should have one of these on their list.

Dialga, Giratina, Groudon, and Snorlax are among the tankiest Pokemon on this list. Successful Master League teams should grab one of these to bulk up their build and add some survivability. If you can't burn down your opponents you may be able to outlast them.

Pokemon like Darkrai, Mewtwo, and Garchomp are one this list due to their high DPS. Darkrai, in particular, is known for its speed at taking down opponents. It makes sense to have one of these three taking up a slot.
