Here is an updated preview of Master League next season using PvPoke and thanks to the GameMaster file provided in this post by u/Careful-Pickle
I have changed the GameMaster file so Dragon Tail generates the same energy as Dragon Breath over 3 turns (I'm sure it won't generate less), and have updated the movesets using Moveset Overrides in PvPoke's Custom Rankings. In particular pokemon that can use Dragon Breath and Dragon Tail have been changed to do so. The result is a closer to accurate view of Master League next season. It's definitely going to be a Dragon heavy meta!

Lugia is finally back?! ๐
I mean what the hell is going on ? Everything and their mom runs Dragon Tail, even the Steel Dogs can’t beat the top dragons any more, wow. The meta is only Dragon Tail users + Fairies and some Steels
Palkia and White Kyruem have dethroned Dialga, the longtime king of ML
Rip Kyurem Black
As someone who has never been able to catch a good Palkia with Spacial Rend, it’s going to be another tough season.
Oops! All dragons (fast moves, anyway)
No eternatus?
Will probably change even more with Florges getting Chilling Water.
Ma boi Kyogre not even in the list
Glad to see my hundo Reshiram and Zekrom getting some viability. Theyโve always been fun sleeper picks in the past. Zekrom walling off Ho-Oh energy is surprisingly useful.
Eternatus was not initially included but is in 15th place with Dragon Tail as the fast move

Who woulda thought that this thing might actually get some use never woulda expected it when I maxed it ๐ญ
i doubt dragon tail will be that buffed, 12 energy is already unprecedented for that kind of 3 turn move
What happens if C. Zacian’s moveset is changed to use Play Rough instead of Close Combat? This might be relevant with the buff to Dragon-types.
Where is Ho-Oh?

I want to start playing Master League, is this Iv good enough or is the 2 defense point a big difference?
How is groudon ranked so high now that O palkia is even more op?
They did dirty on my Urshifu ๐
Now that Im about to get my final forme zygarde he drops to 19 place which is not bad but he number 1 for so long

Zacian reclaims #1, Origin Palkia is 2, Lugia, Eternatus, and Groudon round out the Top 5
