Best teams for the Master League and ML Premier Classic

The Master League is the most expensive challenge in the Pokemon Go Battle League, as pretty much all of the top players are Legendaries and they require plenty of XL Candy in order to be viable.

One of the best teams for the Master League is Dialga, Melmetal, and Mewtwo. There are plenty of other top-class Pokemon to use on your team though, and you can find our recommendations here.

If you’re not cut out for the Master League yet, you might prefer to take part in the ML Premier Classic which bans Legendaries and doesn’t allow Pokemon that have been powered up with XL Candy.

One of the best teams for the ML Premier Classic is Metagross, Togekiss, and Garchomp. There are plenty of other great Pokemon to use on your team though, and you can find our recommendations here.
