Legendary Pokemon are by far the strongest in the franchise, and each of them has a distinct place in the Pokemon GO Battle League formats. All of them have a niche area, which allows them to win even when faced against the mightiest opponents. However, this doesn’t mean all Legendary Pocket Monsters are strong in the GBL meta. Since various things come into play when measuring their utility in PvP, it becomes difficult to say which one is the best.

Because of this, we have analyzed the GO Battle League ratings simulated by PvPoke to detail which is the best in each of its formats.
