Pokémon GO Battle League Season 8: Ultra Premier Meta August 2021
GO Battle League Season Eight is heading to the end of its run in Pokémon GO. This time around, there is brand new content, including the GO Battle League exclusive Pokémon Mienfoo, available through Pokémon GO's PVP platform. Season Eight has switched over to a strange mix of Master League, Master League Classic, and Ultra League Premier Cup, which has a CP limit of 2,500 per Pokémon. The standard Ultra League only has that restriction, while the Ultra League Premier Cup creates a new meta by banning Mythicals and Legendaries.
