Great League Mega Edition Overview
Great League Mega Edition is a league where Pokémon with a CP of 1,500 or less can participate, and, unusually, all Pokémon—including Mega-Evolved Pokémon—are eligible to compete.
With the exception of a few Pokémon such as Ditto and Shedinja, almost every Pokémon in the game can compete in this league.
As the most popular PvP format in Pokémon GO, the Great League’s CP restriction allows a wide variety of Pokémon to become viable, unlike raids where only a limited number of high-DPS Pokémon dominate the meta.
