Pokémon GO Battle League: Great League meta tier list

You need the best team for Pokémon Go Battle League’s Great League. This guide breaks down roles and offers a tier list for each.

Battles against other trainers have always been in the Pokémon DNA – in Pokémon GO, the GO Battle League fulfills this need. This is currently running in its tenth season and, as usual, lets you climb the ranks. In addition to a big reward at the end of the season – depending on your rank – regular Pokémon encounters and Stardust features as loot along the way. We also have a guide for Stardust farming, in case you need more.

The ideal entry point into the GO Battle League is Great League. It is the lowest weight class among the PvP competitions: Pokémon can only participate here if their strength is below or at 1,500 Competition Points (CP). Accordingly, less investment in upgrading your monsters is necessary if you want to participate in this league than, to name one example, in Master League with its much higher limit.

Pokémon GO: How to counter Registeel in Raids

Here are the very best Pokémon to counter Registeel in Pokémon GO Raids.

Registeel once more stalks the Raids of Pokémon GO, this guide will show you how to properly batter the steel giant.

Registeel will appear in the fifth-level raids in Pokémon GO on November 28, between 6pm and 7pm local time, alongside his two brothers, Regice and Regirock. You have Hoopa to thank for this visit, whose trickery conjured up the trio as part of the end-of-season-event “Mischief Unbound.” Trainers may catch the steel giant in its shiny variant during the hour-long event if they’re lucky.

Registeel: Weaknesses

Registeel commands 33,516 Competition Points (CP) as a fifth-level raid boss. If you can successfully cause a few dents to the tin can, the specimen can be tamed with a strength between 1,326 to 1,748 CP. The most powerful steel giants can be found in snowy weather. As a pure Steel type, Registeel can be soundly beaten by Fire, Fighting and Ground types.

Registeel: Best Counters

Mega Charizard Y (Fire Spin, Blast Burn)
Reshiram (Fire Fang, Overheat)
Mega Charizard X (Fire Spin, Blast Burn)
Chandelure (Fire Spin, Overheat)
Mega Houndoom (Fire Fang, Flamethrower)
Lucario (Counter, Aurasphere)
Darmanitan (Fire Fang, Overheat)
Moltres (Fire Spin, Overheat)
Conkeldurr (Counter, Dynamic Punch)
Entei (Fire Fang, Overheat)
Blaziken (Counter, Blast Burn)
Emboar (Ember, Blast Burn)
Machamp (Counter, Dynamic Punch)
Landorus (Therian Forme) (Mud Shot, Earthquake)
Heatran (Fire Spin, Flamethrower)

Unlike his two brothers, Registeel can’t muster an attack that would cause his counters much trouble. This gives you the freedom to build your team composition as you see fit. Fire options, especially with the support of a mega evolution, are the most aggressive and achieve the quickest overall raid times – this provides the best rewards, so it’s what we recommend most.

Pokémon GO: How to counter Regirock in Raids

Here are the perfect Pokémon to counter Regirock in Pokémon GO.

Regirock is a hard one to crack in Pokémon GO‘s Raids, but this guide will show you how to shatter the golems resistance.

The Return of the Regis in Pokémon GO will take place on November 28 between 6pm and 7pm local time as part of a special Raid Hour. Little Hoopa will once again play tricks on the trainers during the course of “Mischief Unbound,” the game’s current end-of-season event, and put Regirock, Regice and Registeel up for battle. The shiny variants of the three elemental giants can be found in these raids, so if they’re still missing from your collection, this is a good time to square them away.

Regirock: Weaknesses

Regirock commands 42,768 Competition Points (CP) as a fifth-level raid boss. A triumph over the stone monster lets you tame a specimen with a strength between 1,703 to 2,230 CP. Partly cloudy weather makes the most powerful creatures crawl out of their caves. Regirock is a pure Rock-type. The weak points of the giant are therefore Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground and Steel attacks – this offers you a rich choice of counters.

Regirock: Best Counters

Mega Blastoise (Water Gun, Hydro Cannon)
Metagross (Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash)
Mega Venusaur (Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant)
Mega Gyarados (Waterfall, Hydro Pump)
Conkeldurr (Counter, Dynamic Punch)
Zarude (Vine Whip, Power Whip)
Lucario (Counter, Aurasphere)
Kyogre (Waterfall, Surf)
Breloom (Counter, Grass Knot)
Garchomp (Mud Shot, Earth Power)
Landorus (Therian Forme) (Mud Shot, Earthquake)
Empoleon (Metal Claw, Hydro Cannon)
Groudon (Mud Shot, Earthquake)
Excadrill (Metal Claw, Earthquake)
Swampert (Water Gun, Hydro Cannon)

With such a wide selection of counters, you should have no trouble fielding a strong force against Regirock. Water Pokémon are prominent on the list and can work great, however, it is possible for the rock giant to master the Electric-type move Zap Cannon – that one just grills Water monsters. Grass, Fighting, or Ground types are therefore probably the safest options.

Pokémon GO: How to counter Regice in Raids

If you want to quickly catch a bunch of Regice in Raids, here are the counters you need in Pokémon GO.

Regice makes a frosty appearance in Pokémon GO on November 28, this guide will show you how to melt the ice giant into a puddle.

A special Raid Hour on November 28, 2021, between 6pm and 7pm local time will bring the Regi trio back to the stage: Regice, Regirock and Registeel will be found in fifth-level raids for a short time. The elemental golem squad makes their appearance due to Hoopa’s machinations in the Mischief Unbound end-of-season event. Players will get a chance to nab shiny variants of the creatures as a result.

Regice: Weaknesses

Regice comes in as a fifth-level raid boss with 42,768 Competition Points (CP). A victory over the ice giant lets you catch a one with a strength of 1,703 to 2,230 CP – snowy weather lures out the most magnificent specimens. Regice is a pure Ice type. Its weaknesses lie in Fire, Fighting, Rock and Steel attacks.

Regice: Best Counters

Mega Charizard Y (Fire Spin, Blast Burn)
Terrakion (Smack Down, Sacred Sword)
Reshiram (Fire Fang, Overheat)
Mega Charizard X (Fire Spin, Blast Burn)
Metagross (Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash)
Mega Houndoom (Fire Fang, Flamethrower)
Chandelure (Fire Spin, Overheat)
Conkeldurr (Counter, Dynamic Punch)
Moltres (Fire Spin, Overheat)
Blaziken (Counter, Blast Burn)
Darmanitan (Fire Fang, Overheat)
Lucario (Counter, Aurasphere)
Rhyperior (Smack Down, Rock Wrecker)
Heatran (Fire Spin, Flamethrower)
Emboar (Low Kick, Blast Burn)

Overall, teams of Fire Pokémon supported by a Mega Charizard or Mega Houndoom are the fastest way to succeed against Regice – securing the best rewards and saving valuable time in the hectic Raid Hour. However, here you can compete with mixed teams without worries – the options offered by Fighting and Steel types are especially useful as supplements. Be careful about one thing, though: Regice has a nasty Ground attack available to it, Earthquake, which can be hard on your own Pokémon. In this case, Fighting-type Pokémon would be the safest choice.

Pokémon GO: How to counter Moltres in Raids

If you want a shiny Moltres in your Pokémon GO team, here are the best monsters to use as counters.

Moltres brings the heat in Pokémon GO on November 26 during a special Raid Hour, this guide will show you how to avoid getting burnt.

As part of the “Mischief Unbound” end-of-season event, the last days of November in Pokémon GO will be filled with unexpected highlights – starting with a special Raid Hour between 6pm and 7pm local time on November 26. The three Kanto legends Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos will take the reins in the fifth-level raids for a short time and can be caught in their rare Shiny variants. In this guide you will learn how to become the master of the phoenix.

As a level five raid boss, Moltres commands 45,609 Competition Points (CP). You can catch the Fire and Flying-type Pokémon after a triumph with a strength between 1,896 and 2,475 CP. The most magnificent specimens appear in clear and windy conditions. For the quickest raid times, go for the Water, Electric, or Rock attack types – the latter in particular are extremely devastating against Moltres, as Flying and Fire share this weakness.

Moltres: Best Counters

Rampardos (Smack Down, Rock Slide)
Rhyperior (Smack Down, Rock Wrecker)
Terrakion (Smack Down, Rock Slide)
Tyranitar (Smack Down, Stone Edge)
Gigalith (Smack Down, Rock Slide)
Aerodactyl (Rock Throw, Rock Slide)
Landorus (Incarnate Forme) (Rock Throw, Rock Slide)
Mega Ampharos (Volt Switch, Power Gem)
Omastar (Rock Throw, Rock Slide)
Alolan Golem (Rock Throw, Stone Edge)
Golem (Rock Throw, Stone Edge)
Archeops (Wing Attack, Ancient Power)
Mega Blastoise (Water Gun, Hydro Cannon)
Regirock (Rock Throw, Stone Edge)
Lunatone (Rock Throw, Rock Slide)

Even more so than with Articuno, Rock-type Pokémon are by far the best choice against Moltres. That sure gives another meaning to ‘hitting two birds with one stone,’ huh? In terms of pure damage, only Mega Ampharos as an Electric-type and Mega Blastoise as a Water-type made it into our list of top counters. That doesn’t make these categories bad by any means – team compositions with Pokémon of these categories can defeat Moltres without question.

Rock creatures, however, manage to do it much faster, which brings better rewards and saves valuable time especially during Raid Hour – the faster Moltres is knocked out, the faster you can start the next raid and make the most efficient use of the one-hour event.
