Master League Begins In Pokémon GO Battle League Season Three

Master League and its Premiere Cup are now available in the third season of GO Battle League, Pokémon GO's player-versus-player arena. In Master League, trainers can bring in three Pokémon with no CP limit. In the Premiere Cup, the same is true but Legendary Pokémon are excluded. Many trainers are wondering which of their Pokémon to bring in to the Master League. PVPoke, a site that similates PVP match-ups and ranks the top Pokémon, listed the following Pokémon as the top of the Master League and Premiere Cup metas, which are collected here.
