The bad news is basically that last sentence all over again.

If youre curious as to if you should run aShadowDragonite instead of a normal one, you should not.

Shadow Dragonite is still a total beater, but the regular version wins more matches in the long run.

While it was once top of the league, its no longer the very best.

Its still excellent, but its far from being a must-run Pokemon in Master League.

With its max CP of 4724, it also has the highest CP of any meta-relevant Pokemon.

It also takes down Lugia, Dialga and Giratina Origin, which is pure upside.

The major downside to this Pokemon, however, is that its a little tricky to use.

If youre a fan of its eternal nemesis,Kyogre, you could obviously beat Groudon there, too.

Origin Forme Palkia is the new king.

Origin Palkia affords a spammy, dynamic Pokemon that lays down both Fast Move and shield pressure.

There really is a lot to be said for simply spamming the opponent to death.

Especially when that opponent is running Giratina Origin, Dragonite, Zygarde Complete, Mewtwo or Dawn Wings Necrozma.

Beyond that, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Mewtwo, Yveltal and Zygarde Complete are your biggest issues.

Wins will come from Dusk Mane Necrozma, Ho-Oh, Dialga, Xerneas and Giratina Origin.

Florges is a bulky, spammy Pokemon that runs three Fairy-punch in attacks in a Dragon-dominated meta.

It is, therefore, a bit of a beater.

Fairy Wind is a fast-charging attack and Disarming Voice is relatively cheap to fire off.

Instead, you should rely on killing the opponent with kindness.

That sounds like a Fairy thing to do, right?

Florges beats all of the non-Dialga Dragons plus Xerneas.

It loses to Ho-Oh, both Necrozma, Mewtwo and - of course - Dialga.

Its just a great Pokemon.

Not only does it beat both Necrozma and Mewtwo, but it also takes down Giratina Origin and Dialga.

Losses will come from Zacian, Dragonite, Xerneas, Ho-Oh and Zygarde Complete.

Complete Zygarde is a bulky, dynamic Pokemon that applies a good deal of Fast Move pressure.

In combat, Complete-forme Zygarde racks up wins against both Necrozma, Giratina Origin, Mewtwo and Dragonite.

Fire Spin is just a decent all-round move.

A maxed-out Solgaleo enjoys wins against Xerneas, Zacian, Dialga, Dragonite and Mewtwo.

It will lose, however, to both Necrozma, Giratina Origin, Ho-Oh and Zygarde Complete.

It is, however, susceptible to two double-weaknesses.

Used properly, you’ve got the option to exploit moves like Moongeist Beam to do tremendous damage.

However, you gotta know when to switch out.

Yveltal, for example, can ruin your day pretty quickly.

Complete Zygarde, Giratina Origin, Mewtwo and Groudon can all roundly defeat Necrozma, too.
