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 Master League Classic choices in Pokémon GO listed as:

  1. Groudon: Mud Shot, Earthquake, Fire Punch
  2. Melmetal: Thunder Shock, Superpower, Rock Slide
  3. Shadow Snorlax: Lick, Body Slam, Superpower
  4. Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, Ominous Wind
  5. Dialga: Dragon Breath, Iron Head, Draco Meteor
  6. Shadow Dragonite: Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, Hurricane
  7. Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Brave Bird, Earthquake
  8. Snorlax: Lick, Body Slam, Earthquake
  9. Palkia: Dragon Breath, Aqua Tail, Draco Meteor
  10. Zekrom: Dragon Breath, Crunch, Wild Charge
  11. Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Psystrike, Focus Blast
  12. Dragonite: Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, Hurricane
  13. Lugia: Dragon Tail, Sky Attack, Aeroblast
  14. Shadow Mamoswine: Powder Snow, Avalanche, Bulldoze
  15. Mamoswine: Powder Snow, Avalanche, Bulldoze
  16. Incarnate Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Rock Slide, Earth Power
  17. Reshiram: Dragon Breath, Crunch, Overhead
  18. Shadow Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Psystrike, Shadow Ball
  19. Altered Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Dragon Claw, Shadow Sneak
  20. Shadow Gyarados: Dragon Breath, Aqua Tail, Crunch

Keep in mind that the meta is always shifting due to changes in the effectiveness of certain moves, so be sure to check frequently as to whether your team remains at the top of the Pokémon GO PvP meta.

Unfortunately, the normally present Master League Premier Cup is not currently active. Hopefully, it'll return in Season Eight to keep PvP dynamic in Pokémon GO. As for now, the standard Master League and the Great League are also currently live.
