About reviews ▼▲
How do you know which Pokemon are best for Trainer Battles? This question has numerous answers, and below we'll look at how we arrived at ours and how you can make the most of the rankings here.
As we improve our simulator and ranking algorithms, please note that exact rankings may change. They aren't set in stone, but rather an educated guess as to which Pokémon may or may not be good for Trainer Battles. Ultimately, we hope the ratings here will be a useful resource in their own way and help build you towards success.
Using pokemon ratings
In the top-level leaderboards, you'll see a score for each Pokémon. This score is an overall performance number from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best Pokémon in that league and category. It is derived by simulating all possible pairs, with each Pokémon's most used moveset (these can be adjusted manually). Use this score to compare overall performance between Pokémon; For example, the difference between the #1 and #50 Pokémon may not be the same as the difference between the #50 and #100 Pokémon. This score also allows you to see the parity across different leagues and categories.
Trainer battles feature a wide variety of scenarios, especially with shields. To give a more complete picture, our overall ratings are derived from additional sets of ratings, where battles are simulated with different roles in mind. You can explore rankings for each of the following categories:
- In general -Derived from a Pokémon's score in all other categories. Moves are ranked based on the calculations of all opponents. However, top counters and best combinations are taken from the Prospects category.
- directs -Simulated ranked battles with 2 shields against 2 shields.
- clasps -Non-Shield Mock Battle Ranking vs. no shield.
- switch -Simulated ranked battles with 6 turns of energy advantage and scored to favor safe matches.
- Loaders -Simulated ranked battles with 6 turns of energy advantage.
- Attackers -Mocked ranked battles without shields vs. 2 shields.
- Consistency -Rating of how dependent Pokémon are on bait shields.
Different Pokemon can succeed in different scenarios, so use these categories to help determine when a particular Pokemon would be most valuable.
Within each classification, you'll see four separate detail sections:
- Fast moves -What fast moves does the Pokémon use the most in the league and category.
- Loaded Moves -What Charged Moves does the Pokémon use the most in the league and category.
- Main wins -Which battles the Pokémon performs best in, weighted by the opponent's overall score.
- key counters -Which significant opponents perform best against the Pokemon.
Use them to see even more information about a Pokémon, what matches it can be useful in, and what can be used to counter it.
Using motion ratings
Each Pokémon has a Fast Moveset and a Charged Moveset. Some moves might be better in one battle and other moves might be better in another. For trainer battles, you'll want to know which moves will be best for most matches. You might also want to know which Pokemon are the best candidates for a second Charged Move. The move details within each Pokemon classification can help you determine this.
Moves are ranked using calculations based primarily on their damage and energy cost. Stat changes are also taken into account. These calculations are performed for each match and then summed across the entire format. Matchmaking weighting affects these numbers as well, so moves that would be used against significant meta targets will rank higher.
When looking for potential moves, keep an eye out for Pokemon that have a strong tendency towards a single fast move and a single charged move. These Pokemon will have their ideal moveset for most matches. On the other hand, some Pokemon see a more balanced use of their Charged moves. This is where a second charge move comes into play.
If you are investing in a loaded second move, you want a pair that is optimal in most combinations. Two moves that would be used in 90% of matches are better than two moves that would be used in 60% of matches. You also want a move that adds more value to these combinations. A second Charged move that is used 40% of games will give you more value than one used 5% of games.
However, not all clashes are created equal. When your opponent switches a Pokemon, it's not just random; they will most likely send something strong against you. Because of this, a Charged move that neutralizes your counters can be more valuable than the ratings indicate. Blastoise, for example, doesn't use Ice Beam very often in heads-up simulations (top-tier Grass-types like Meganium and Venusaur will take it out before it can). However, Ice Beam can still be valuable when your opponent sends these Pokemon out while Blastoise has Ice Beam nearly charged or fully charged, or if you have shields while they don't.
As an exercise, select any Pokémon in theteam building tooland compares your battle histograms when you have one move loaded and when you have two. If a second charged move improves your combinations, it might be worth investing.
Sorting Algorithm
Ratings are generated by following these steps:
- For each category:
- Simulate all possible combinations and assign a battle rating to each Pokémon.
- Calculate each Pokémon's average battle rating across all matches.
- Replay matches and weight each individual battle rating based on the opponent's average, averaging again each time. Repeat this process several times. Only do this if the combinations are the same (equal shields).
- Calculate a Pokémon's Tier Score as a percentage of its weighted average Battle Rank for the #1 Pokémon.
- For each Pokémon, calculate the geometric mean of their scores in each category to get the overall score.
Battle Rating is the core of the ranking algorithm. It tells us if a Pokemon wins a battle and by how much. The average of all these tells us which Pokémon performs best against most other Pokémon.
However, comparing only averages is not always best; you're not equally likely to face every Pokemon, and multiple weak Pokemon of a given type can skew the results in favor of your counters. Therefore, the algorithm repeats each match again and weights each battle rating by the opponent's average. Now, a good battle rating against a powerful Pokemon is worth more than a good battle rating against a weak one. This process is recursive; a Pokémon that has a low original average may have a better weighted average, which affects all Pokémon that rank well against it, so this process is performed multiple times to allow the best Pokémon and those that beat them to filter through the rankings. .
Overall scores are calculated using a geometric mean (root of A x B x C) as opposed to a regular mean (ratio of A + B + C). This is because category scores are percentages; adding these percentages doesn't produce a tangible value, so a geometric mean is more applicable. The geometric mean also favors complete Pokémon over Pokémon that rank high in one category but rank low in others.
Each Pokémon gets its ideal moveset for each match. Keep in mind that this can cause Pokemon with wide moves like Mew or Suicune with hidden power to rank higher than they should; this is already adjusted in general rankings, but may appear in Team Builder.

From Season 6 onwards, you'll need to participate and win a number of battles to progress from Rank 1 to Rank 20. Certain ranks will be easier to overcome than others, because they will only require you to complete one set of battles to progress.
What level should I be to fight in great league? ›Different Pokémon excel within different leagues, so you'll want power up a Pokémon as close as you can to the maximum CP for the league you want to use it in, such as 1,500 for the Great League or 2,500 for the Ultra League. Everyone begins their GO Battle League journey at rank 1.
What's the best Pokemon for great league? ›Best team for Pokemon Go Great League
One of the best teams Trainers can use in the Great League is Azumarill, Galarian Stunfisk, and Walrein, as these are three of the strongest fighters and they'll offer good coverage against most of the major Great League opponents.

Niantic Pokemon Go's Ultra League has a max CP of 2500. One of the best teams Trainers can use in Pokemon Go's Ultra League is Registeel, Cresselia, and Swampert, as these are three of the strongest fighters in the meta and provide a good range of coverage against common enemies.
Every Pokemon already has their base stats, the IVs just increases them. What matters most is getting your Pokemon to a higher level. Getting your Pokemon to reach closest to 1500 is the key and their attack IV will influence whether the Pokemon reaches 1500 CP at level 36 or level 40.
Does CP matter in great league? ›The higher the CP, the lower level the Pokémon must be in order to stay under the 1500 CP cap. This means that balanced, or defense/HP weighted Pokémon get a lot more bang for their buck in the stat budget. You can accentuate this advantage even more by finding Pokémon with defense/HP weighted IV as well.
Can Pokémon with 1500 CP battle in great league? ›Pokémon must be at or below 1,500 CP to enter.

Is CP or IV more important? ›A Pokemon's combat power (CP) is an aggregated statistic that gives a rough idea as to how powerful they are. It is based on IV scores and that Pokemon's current level. Generally, a Pokemon with higher CP will perform better in battle than one with a lower stat.
How much does CP matter in great league? ›The Great League only allows Pokémon with a CP (Combat Power) of 1,500 or lower to participate. The Ultra League was the second League rolled out which only allows Pokémon with a CP no higher than 2,500. The last League is called the Master League which has no limit on the number of CP a Pokémon has.
What CP is 100 IV pokemon go? ›A 100% IV would mean that Attack, Defense and Stamina are all at 15. Everything below that works out to being a percentage of the maximum possible stat of 45.
How rare is a 100iv Pokémon? ›Hatching Pokemon from eggs, earning them in quests or defeating them as a Raid Boss all provide the same chance of obtaining a 100 IV Pokemon – 1 in 216. That is because each stat is guaranteed to be 10 or more.

Each of these numbers on any caught Pokemon is completely random, which means you have as much chance of getting an 11, for example, as you do a 15. When you work out the odds behind this, the complete randomness gives you a 1 in 4,096 chance of finding that perfect IV Pokemon. So, very unlikely.
How many perfect IVs do you need for competitive? ›9 IV Stats Range From Zero To 31
This makes IVs much more diverse. Competitive players want the stats as close to 31 as possible.
Prioritise Appraisal (Stars), then Combat Power (CP)
With the new Appraisal system it's easier to determine which Pokemon will be best. 3-Star Pokemon have higher base stats, and therefore a higher (maximum) CP. You can search your Pokemon using the terms 0* , 1* , 2* , 3* or 4* to filter Pokemon by their appraisal.
It pays to keep and evolve only the best Pokémon you find. In general, you want higher CP Pokémon to evolve over lower CP Pokémon, but just because a Pokémon has a high CP doesn't mean it's actually very good.
Should you keep low CP Pokemon? ›Combat Power (CP)
Each one should have the letters CP next them, as well as a number. CP stands for combat power -- the higher the CP, the stronger the Pokémon will be in battle. In general, you want to trade away your low-value Pokémon so you can build up your stronger ones.
