The low CP limit of the Great League makes it one of the most open and exciting GO Battle League competitions in Pokemon GO. However, there is still one team that we think can get you plenty of wins!
The best team to use in the Great League in the Timeless Travels season of Pokemon GO is
- Carbink
- Medicham
- Gligar
Carbink is the one of best lead Pokemon for the Great League, although Registeel is another excellent option. Then, you can swamp to either Medicham or Gligar to counter almost all of the other Pokemon in the meta!
However, plenty more Pokemon can get you wins in this competition, as long as you’ve taught them powerful attacks.
The table below shows our top 10 Pokemon for the Great League in Timeless Travels, as well as their strongest moves.
