Pokemon GO Ultra League Best Team Recommendations For PvP

When battling in the Pokemon GO Ultra League, do you ever wonder why you tend to see the same Pokemon time and time again? This is because certain Pokemon GO critters are much better in the format than others.

Due to a combination of move availability, stats, typing, and more, some Pokemon rise above the ranks to dominate the meta, so many players tend to use them. 

Never fear, because we've got a list of some of the absolute best Pokemon to bring into the GO Battle League, as well as their weaknesses, so you can take them down when you see them. 

• One of the best Pokemon for the Ultra League that didn't make the cut for this list is Defense Form Deoxys. Check out our guide to Pokemon GO Deoxys Defense Form for more info.
