Mega Evolutions have crashed the 2,500 CP party, and your old Ultra League team may not survive. Here’s a compact guide to what’s working right now.

What Makes Mega Edition Different?
In Ultra League: Mega Edition, Pokémon must stay under the 2,500 CP cap, but Mega-Evolved Pokémon are allowed. Only certain Megas fit under that limit, so choosing the right one matters. The result is a fresh meta where established PvP threats share the stage with new heavy hitters.
Top Team Picks
| Team | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Mega Malamar + Corviknight + Bellibolt | A popular all-rounder with solid typing coverage |
| Mega Raichu X + Florges + Corviknight | A strong alternative with good balance |
| Tinkaton + Mega Malamar + Corviknight | A tier-list leader paired with proven Megas (our own suggested mix) |
The first two come from Dexerto’s recommendations, and the third is our suggested combination based on current rankings.
Standout Pokémon to Know
Tinkaton currently sits at #1 on the Ultra League (Mega Edition) tier list, powered by Fairy Wind plus Gigaton Hammer and Bulldoze.
Mega Malamar is an awkward opponent to face. Its Dark/Psychic typing leaves it weak only to Bug and Fairy.
Mega Raichu X and Mega Dragonite are also worth using, according to community meta trackers.
Forretress is a disruption specialist, and Virizion is all about tempo.
Lickilicky XL (Rollout and Body Slam) is another common sight in the meta.
Quick Tips Before You Queue Up
- Balance your team. Cover for Fairy and Bug weaknesses if you run Mega Malamar.
- Learn movesets. Knowing the key moves of popular Pokémon can swing close battles.
- Mind your shields. Track your opponent’s remaining Pokémon and shields before committing.
- Stay flexible. No team is “best” against everything, since it depends on what your opponent sends out.
