As of Jul 10, 2026 (Season 27: Forever Forward), Lickilicky, Shadow Empoleon, Shadow Altaria, Empoleon lead the S tier in Pokémon GO Great League Tier List — an expert-seeded baseline with no player votes yet. Every vote re-ranks the board live.
The Great League caps every Pokemon at 1500 CP, so it is the most-played and most balanced GO Battle League format, where bulk, coverage, and shield pressure matter far more than raw stats. This board tracks the current Forever Forward meta led by pvpoke's simulation rankings: flexible bulky picks like Mimikyu, Lickilicky, Tinkaton, Altaria and Empoleon top the list, backed by reliable water and ground safe-swaps such as Quagsire, Feraligatr and Jellicent plus pesky spice like Galarian Corsola and Jumpluff. Shadow forms trade bulk for extra damage and are ranked as their own entries wherever they out-perform the base species.
Move rebalances shift these placements every season. Former anchors like Registeel and Galarian Stunfisk have slid out of the top tier as newer hitters like Mimikyu and Tinkaton climbed, which is why some once-mandatory picks now sit in C. Tiers here blend pvpoke's overall scores with real ladder and tournament usage into a simple S/A/B/C read: S is the safest, most flexible core, A and B are strong role-players and matchup answers, and C holds viable niche or anti-meta options. Treat it as a starting point, as voted by the community. If your favorite is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
