Kyogre alone can wipe out your top 12 mons
Stick to great and ultra until you can form up a few of what you wanna use in master
You will lose a lot
ignore. it’s purely for ego, you’ll never get back either the resources or the effort you put into. if you have some kind of burning need to prove that you can waste more time and money than other people who value wasting time and money, you wouldn’t be asking.

This looks like most of the teams I’ve been going up against.
Probably not but it’s really not worth it investing into ML that badly, so just go with whatever league you do best in
I have over 100 master league wins this season with Pokemon under 200 cp
Send it & find out? Not like you lose anything
Yeah in master league most pokemon are maxed out your talking 4200 cp and up zacian alone je like 5000 plus it would be hard just keep leveling up your pokemon and get different types too
Masterleague is unfortunately the most P2W league in pvp. Lvl50 top ranked mons with almost perfect ivs are the play here. And lvl50mons and (almost) perfect ivs are expensive (except if you were lucky, but lvl50still costs a lot.)
You can win some. You won’t win a ton, but you can definitely win some. Get some double moves and burn some rare candies on Kyogre and Groudon. Make sure both have their exclusive moves. And find a strong third, florges might be the best option you’re showing. Ray could also be an option.
It’s a super basic team but groudon is a hard counter to crowned dogs, which are everywhere. Add the fire move to counter grass, ice, and some other neutral typing.
Kyogre hard counters groudon, fire types, and garchomp which are out there for crowned dogs. The electric CM will give you counter on other Kyogres, flying types, water types, etc.. if you’re only going to second move one legendary, it’s this guy imo. Absolutely nukes gyarodos.
Then you want something for anti-dragon, as you’ll see a heavy dose of palkia and other meta dragons. That’s where Florges or Togekiss (which I dont see here, but is also extremely good) come in. Ray can also do work there, but will also take heavy damage from dragon while it’s there, so it’s not ideal. You’ve also gotta invest in a second move, as the mega move occupies the first slot – so I recommend Florges here.
Again, it’s not a super strong team but they’re all worth powering up and meta mons, especially the weather trio. No rare candies will be wasted.
Just tank, trying is not worth the effort even if you had the resources for it.
i’ve played ml for a while without a single legendary until recently using a dawn wings in mega master league for a day. without access to many legendary/rare xls you should focus on specific community day ‘mons and/or good ‘mons that turn up in a bunch of other events to farm xls for. anything that excels in master premier still has a chance to win a few rounds in open. florges, metagross, excadrill, garchomp, togekiss, heracross, goodra, and ursaluna are all picks i’ve used before in open ml with at least a little success (and i realized afterward that i even forgot go take the heracross from level 40 to 50 at the time! but it still beat a few dialga!). i’m not generally climbing the ranks, but it’s good enough to make some use of the 4x stardust rewards and get your ml medal if you keep working at it. frankly i found the ul medal harder to reach.
Wouldn’t do that. I guess it could work in the 1500s or so.. but other than that not really. But gbl is a great resource for stardust which you can put again in pvp mons

No u will get steamrolled
Not really. I’ve played ML when I’ve had to with what I had and my record was generally negative. And I had double move level 46 ho-oh and xerneas and level 50 hundo swampert/excadrill/rhyperior/gary. And I still got mostly battered. Gary was very useful as a “cheaper“ ML mon.
No lol
Depends on what are you aims. 2000+ rating, nope – though I am not sure why you would even try now when current season has no rank above 20.
Earn rewards and grind towards rank 20? Yes, sure. Yo could do it with 3x10cp pokemon as well though, so I would not likely power those up or buy those second moves.
Unless you have legendary hundos it’ really tough to get wins. Great league takes way less resources and to get wins.
Of course you can. You want to participate and win a few games, not reach Legend rank. Master League is very easy until Rank 20. If you for some reason run into a try-hard opponent with XL Crowned Zacian or Fused Kyurem or something like that, just quit and start a new battle. Eventually you hidden matchmaking rating will drop and easy opponents will come.
As for your pokemon I’d go with Dragonite (Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw) – Rock Tyranitar – Kyogre (Waterfall/Surf).
