The best Pokémon for the big league in March 2022
With Great League, only Pokémon of 1500 CP or less are allowed. The closer your Pokémon is to 1500 CP, the better it will perform against your opponents.

And some of the items below require Candy XL to reach its highest potential, even at such a low CP level. We mark them with (XL) for you.
Otherwise, the goal of creating a Great League team is to focus on the type matches you encounter in the metagame. Our Strong Against field shows which types the Pokémon will resist damage to, but be sure to refer to the type chart to see what their attack will be most effective against.
