The Master Premier Cup is where the most powerful non-Legendary Pokemon battle it out in Pokemon GO. This is because Legendary, Mythical, and Ultra Beast Pokemon are not allowed!
The best team to use in the Pokemon GO Master Premier Cup is:
- Dragonite
- Florges
- Metagross
Dragonite is an extremely powerful option as it is arguably the best non-Legendary Pokemon in the game – that’s why you should use it as your lead Pokemon. Meanwhile, Florges and Metagross provide some excellent damage output and defensive stability!
No matter which Pokemon you choose, you’ll want to power them up as much as possible beforehand. Find out the fastest ways to farm Candy in Pokemon GO, or, even better, earn some XL Candy to unlock the full potential of your Pokemon.
