How to unlock Master League in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go, Niantic’s hit augmented reality mobile game, offers fans of the popular franchise a unique way of collecting Pokemon. Players can not only encounter new Pokemon and add them to their collection, but they can also engage in battles against Team Rocket.

Moreover, it is also possible in Pokemon Go to compete in trainer battles against other players. The game offers three different leagues: Great League, Ultra League, and Master League. These leagues are categorised based on the Combat Power of Pokemon you can select for battle.

Master League increases the eligibility criteria to a Pokemon having a minimum of 2,500 CP and there is no maximum CP limit in Master League.
