Competitive battles have been available since January 2020 in Pokémon GO. Now, by entering the GO Battle League, you can compete against players from all over the world.
Each season consists of the Great League, Ultra League, and Master League. Today, we're bringing you a tier list of the best Pokémon to use when you fight in the Master League.
In Master League, there isn't maximum CP.
Note that battles consist of a 1v1 format, using a team of three Pokémon.
The toughest Pokémon are listed here, but you should pay attention to their stats when evaluating them. Try to keep only the best. Also, don't forget to unlock the second Charged Move for your Pokémon!
This Tier List is realized thanks to the Pvpoke ranking.

Which is the best team to use?
Currently, the game data analyzed by the Silph.gg website allows us to see which team is the most used in the Master League, and especially which one is the most winning.
This team is difficult to obtain since you have to have captured Giratina, Kyogre and Dialga via the Raids.
Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, and Ominous Wind
Waterfall, Surf, and Blizzard
Dragon Breath, Iron Head, and Draco Meteor
It's time to battle trainers with the ultimate level on Pokémon GO. The pre-season is still in progress for Competitive Mode, but the Master League is now activated.
