The most effective creatures to compete in the middle league.
Putting together a strongPokemon Go Ultra Leagueteam is worth investing in as part of the regularGo Battle Leagueroster.
The Ultra League is perhaps the most skill-testing of the three main Leagues.
(A second move for a Legendary is, by and large, very expensive.)
TheMight and Mastery Seasonand itsseasonal questhas arrived.
you might now catchDynamax PokemonthroughMax Battles.
First, however, it’s crucial that you visitPower Spots to collect Max Particlesand complete theTo the Max!
Seasoned players may not fall for this trick.
There are a few things you ought to know though, if youre considering the Superpower Pokemon.
First up, it obviously doesnt use Superpower.
Were going to lean into this strategy with aShadowMachamp, boosting attack and lowering defense by 20% each.
Its an all-arms-blazing scenario.
Once their shields are gone, its all Stone Edge for the win.
Remember: chop, chop.
This will bring you decent wins against Talonflame, Skeledirge, Lickilicky, Cobalion and Virizion.
But remember that glassiness we mentioned?
Both are top-10 Pokemon in the meta, but the Shadow really is top-tier.
This spammy, dynamic Pokemon really has a lot to offer.
Match-ups are pretty similar between the two versions, though the Shadow version is clearly superior.
Either way, this is a very impressive Pokemon in the current meta.
Losses will come from Virizion (almost instantly), Greninja, Giratina Altered, Cresselia and Lickilicky.
It still beatsGiratinaand Swampert, but just does so slightly slower than it used to.
Losses will come from Cobalion, Skeledirge, Talonflame, Cresselia and Lickilicky.
Despite a multiple shake-ups over the years, Registeels staying power extends to its top-10 position in the rankings.
Beyond that, were looking at Rollout as a fast-charging move and Body Slam as shield bait.
As such, you might expect wins against Talonflame, Skeledirge, Giratina Altered, Cresselia and Swampert.
Losses should come from Cobalion, Virizion, Registeel, Shadow Swampert and Tentacruel.
In the current meta, you should expect wins against Virizion, Cobalion, Skeledirge, Tentacruel and Talonflame.
However, you should swap out when you see Lickilicky, Walrein, Shadow Drapion, Cresselia or Greninja.
Cresseliais generally a strong all-rounder with a fast-charging Fast move and two relatively cheap Charged moves.
Grass Knot is great against Swampert and Tentacruel, while Moonblast will wreck Giratina Altered.
Yes, this is a Psychic-bang out that can beat a Ghost.
Virizion and Cobalion are also easy wins.
up in the Ultra League, taking it from firmly ‘meh’, to the top of the meta.
Having a usable Fast move really does make that much of a difference.
Losses will come from Skeledirge, Talonflame, Giratina Altered, Cresselia and Virizion.
Terrakion, however, is still just bad, so dont bother with him in PVP.
However, with the abundance of Grass-types coming in to beat these Pokemon, Talonflames Fire-typing only gets better.
In all, you should expect to beat Virizion, Cobalion, Cresselia, Shadow Drapion and Skeledirge.
Another issue is that Candy XL is almost essential, or you wont get Talonflame close to 2500 CP.
As with Machamp higher up in this list, Pangoro runs Karate Chop as a fast-charging move.
Its lack of bulk isnt much of a positive either.
Losses will come from Virizion, Cresselia, Tentacruel, Talonflame and Skeledirge.
In all, it is a Pokemon you have to respect.
Psywave is a fast-charging move that plays nicely into Foul Play.
Be aware that you will lose to Alolan Ninetails, Swampert, Talonflame, Pidgeot and Charizard.
This means swerving Alolan Ninetails and Walrein, along with Tentacruel, Tapu Fini and Venusaur.
Natures Madness simply requires an Elite Charged TM, but guaranteed a one-stage debuff to your opponents defense.
The downside, of course, is the other side of that coin: the bad match-ups.
Beware the Poison attacks of Tentacruel and the Grass attacks of Virizion and Cresselia.
Giratina Altered and Lickilicky round out the list of Pokemon to look out for.
Best of luck in the Ultra League!
