What is the Super League? The Super League is one of the battle leagues in Pokémon GO. The limit is set at 1,500 CP. All monsters you use here must not exceed this limit. Your team must consist of exactly 3 Pokémon.
In this part of the game, different monsters dominate than in raids, for example. We have compiled for you which ones are currently the best.
The strongest Pokémon for Super League teams
Corviknight
What kind of Pokémon is this? Corviknight is the final evolution of Rookidee and Corvisquire. The monster has the types Flying and Steel.
What moves should the monster have? The best moveset for Corviknight consists of the quick move Steel Wing and the charge moves Brave Bird and Counter. Since Brave Bird is an exclusive move, you must use a Charged TM for it.
What is the monster good for? Corviknight is strong defensively and as an attacker. Moreover, the monster can charge its charge move Brave Bird quickly and wear down the opponent’s shields. The monster works well as a lead or for switching in.
Rocara
What kind of Pokémon is this? Rocara is a Rock and Fairy-type Pokémon from Generation 6.
What moves should the monster have? You should ideally play Rocara with the moves Rock Slide, Meteor Beam, and Moonblast.
What is the monster good for? The monster has very strong defensive stats. If you use the monster later in the battle and your opponent has no type advantage, it will be difficult for them to knock out Rocara.
Empoleon
What kind of Pokémon is this? Empoleon is the final evolution of Piplup, the Water starter from Generation 4. While its pre-evolutions Piplup and Prinplup are only Water-type, Empoleon also has the Steel type.
The Shadow variant of the monster is somewhat better suited for the Super League than the regular variant.
What moves should the monster have? If you want to use Empoleon, you should focus on the moves Metal Sound, Hydro Cannon, and Drill Peck. Hydro Cannon is an exclusive move. To learn it, you need a Charged TM.
What is the monster good for? With Empoleon you can put significant pressure on the opponent’s shields, as the monster is capable of charging and using charge moves very quickly. You can use Empoleon as a lead or switch in later to deal significant damage to your already weakened opponent.
However, keep in mind that the Shadow variant of Empoleon receives more damage and thus can take significantly less punishment than the regular variant.
Dedenne
What kind of Pokémon is this? Dedenne is a small monster with the types Electric and Fairy. It has existed since Generation 6.
What moves should the monster have? You should ideally equip the monster with the quick move Spark and the charge moves Play Rough and Disarming Voice.

You should use it at the beginning or as the last monster in the battle.
Tyrantrum
What kind of Pokémon is this? Tyrantrum, the evolution of Shieldon, has the types Rock and Steel.
What moves should the monster have? For this monster, the move combination of Body Slam, Stone Edge, and Flamethrower is particularly advantageous.
What is the monster good for? Tyrantrum has very strong defensive stats and can take a lot of damage. However, it attacks rather slowly and takes a long time to charge its charge moves. When it attacks, it can deal very high damage.
Togekiss
What kind of Pokémon is this? Togekiss has the types Fairy and Flying. It evolves from Togetic, which in turn evolves from Togepi.

What moves should the monster have? If you equip Flunschlik with the moves Thunder Shock, Mud Bomb, and Charge Beam, you will have the optimal moveset for the monster.
