What is Ultra League in Pokémon GO?

PvP format with 2500 CP cap. Legendaries shine — Giratina-Altered defines the meta.

DEFINITION

PvP format with 2500 CP cap. Legendaries shine — Giratina-Altered defines the meta.

ALSO KNOWN ASul2500 cp
01 · FULL EXPLANATION

Ultra League's 2500 cap is where legendaries become viable without giving up too much bulk. Giratina-Altered, Cresselia, Walrein, Talonflame, Pidgeot, Cobalion, and Virizion form the core.

XL candy investment pays off here — most Ultra picks need to hit level 41-50 to reach the cap with optimal IVs. Lucky mons are dramatically cheaper to level.

The meta is more legendary-heavy than Great League. A team with no Giratina answer is fragile — most successful teams either run Giratina or have a hard counter (Dark/Ice attackers, Fairy charge moves).
