Pokémon GO Battle League Season 9: Master Premier Classic Nov. 2021
GO Battle League Season Nine is on its final leg in Pokémon GO. A run of Ultra League has wrapped up, and now it's time for Master League, Master League Premier Classic, and a player's choice Cup which was voted for on Twitter to be the Kanto Cup. The standard Master League Premier Classic allows Pokémon with any CP but bans those who are either Legendary or Mythical as well as those who have been powered up with Candy XL. Let's take a look at the meta for this new combined league.
