Ultra League (CP 2,500)
Top 25 overall rankings from PvPoke. Top 10 rows are highlighted.
Great and Ultra League cap CP. A low Attack IV usually beats a 15/15/15, because it reaches a higher level for the same CP. Chase rank, not perfect IVs.
A Top 10 list isn't a team. Build a lead, a safe swap, and a closer, not three of the same role.

Top 10 notes
Corviknight: Ultra League gives Corviknight more room to flex its bulk. It pairs excellently with other top picks, making it a team building centerpiece. Stronger damage for Air Cutter and Iron Head improve its previously weak output.
Virizion: Virizion has a long pedigree in Ultra League. Its hard wins against Water and Steel types outweigh its lack of flexibility, although Stone Edge is always an option. With Talonflame and Giratina on a significant downturn, it is perhaps at its most meta relevant ever.
