Pokémon GO Battle League Season 8: Master Classic Meta August 2021
GO Battle League Season Eight is nearing its end in Pokémon GO. This time around, this season offered brand new content, including the GO Battle League exclusive Pokémon Mienfoo, available through Pokémon GO's PVP platform. Season Eight has now switched over to Master League, which has no CP limit. Also available is Master League Classic, which creates a different dynamic by barring Pokémon powered up with Candy XL from entering. Prepare to take your buddies into battle with this guide, breaking down the top species to use in Pokémon GO Master League Classic bouts right now.
The current top 20 species and moves to use in Pokémon GO's Master League Classic are:
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Earthquake, Fire Punch
- Melmetal: Thunder Shock, Superpower, Rock Slide
