Pokémon GO Battle League Season 6 Part 2: Top Ultra Premier Meta
The second half of GO Battle League Season Six has now switched over from Great League to Ultra League in Pokémon GO. Ultra League limits the CP of Pokémon used in PVP bouts to 2500. In addition to the standard Ultra League, there is also an Ultra League Premier Cup that excludes Legendaries and Mythicals. Prepare to take your buddies into battle with this guide, breaking down the top species to use in Pokémon GO Ultra League Premier Cup battles.
According to PVPoke, a platform that plugs in the stats of each species to determine the top meta of each league and cup has the top twenty Ultra League Premier Cup choices in Pokémon GO listed as:
- Galarian Stunfisk (powered up with Candy XL): Mud Shot, Rock Slide, Earthquake
- Jellicent (powered up with Candy XL): Bubble, Bubble Beam, Shadow Ball
- Shadow Swampert: Mud Shot, Hydro Cannon, Sludge Wave
- Shadow Machamp: Counter, Cross Chop, Rock Slide
- Mandibuzz (powered up with Candy XL): Snarl, Foul Play, Aerial Ace
