Top Team Builds for Great League

As with any League battle, players will want to include a good mixture of Pokémon on their team to make it as strong as possible. Usually, a good team consists of many different types that counter one another. We'll relay the best options of teams based on the top competing Pokémon listed in the previous section.

A grouping that has resistance to different types will be able to handle whatever type of Pokémon is thrown at them in battle. This diversity is the way to win, as long as you're also using high-HP Pokémon that output heavy damage.
