The Go Battle League (GBL) has had absolutely no changes in the last five years, leaving players sick of the same old PvP battles. Now, they are desperate for a major upgrade. Unlike mainline games like or competitive battles, being skilled in GBL relies heavily on swapping at the right time and using limited moves.
With less room for skills and diversity in the meta, fans are unless something major happens to the format. This came to light after notable Pokemon Go trainer ‘Caleb Peng’ shared their views on an X post by showing the rapidly declining interest in the GBL over the last year. Caleb firmly pushed for a paradigm shift in the format and asked the community what changes they’d like to see in the GBL.
Not to disappoint the OP, several users obliged with their suggestions. Many called for increasing the slots from two to three, ensuring more flexibility for each species. They stated that this update would be a “game changer” with the GBL meta “instantly” shifting in a positive direction.
Some even mentioned adding double Fast Moves. This is based on the fact that the mainline games have four move slots, giving fans more options to strategize while also making the battle unpredictable. Others agreed with this and said that this would help overrule the “simplified gameplay” in the GBL.
Increasing the team size from three to six was another popular request, something included in all core games of the franchise except Pokemon Go. Even the OP said that mak.
