The '''GO Battle League''' (Japanese: '''GOバトルリーグ''' ''GO Battle League'') is a feature in {{g|GO}} for competitive, online {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s. It was first introduced on January 28, 2020.<ref name="Preseason" /> Due to an exploit that allowed players to cheat, the GO Battle League was taken down on June 12, 2020 until a fix could be patched into the game.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1271594784461778944 Niantic Support on Twitter]</ref> It was restored on June 23, 2020.

==Rules and mechanics==
Official rules for the GO Battle League were first announced on December 11, 2019<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/combatrebalance-dec2019/ Community Note: GO Battle League preview, combat system update, legacy attacks, and more!]</ref>. They are as follows:

* A '''season''' is a predetermined period of time during which Trainers can battle to increase their '''rank''' and '''rating'''. At the start of a season, all Trainers start from Rank 1 and can work their way up to the maximum rank. Once a Trainer's rank moves up, it will not drop down for the remainder of the season. The current top-rated Trainers are displayed on a [https://pokemongolive.com/leaderboard/ leaderboard].
** Starting with Season 6, Trainers can first work their way up to Rank 20. Upon reaching Rank 20, Trainers are assigned a rating and can raise it to reach the Ace, Veteran, Expert, and ultimately Legend Ranks.
** Prior to Season 6, Rank 10 was the maximum rank and ratings were assigned upon reaching Rank 7.
* Winning a match increases a Trainer's rating, and losing a match lowers it; currently{{fact}} a {{tt|tie|i.e. a simultaneous knockout}} counts as a loss. If the timer expires, the win is awarded to the Trainer with more usable Pokémon remaining; ties progress to number of remaining shields and remaining cumulative HP among their Pokémon.
* GO Battle League matches take place in all three [[Trainer Battle (GO)#Leagues|leagues]]: Great, Ultra, and Master Leagues. The available leagues rotate throughout the season. Restricted versions of each league are sometimes offered as well (see [[GO Battle League#Special Leagues and Cups|Special Leagues and Cups]] below).
* Teams with multiple Pokémon of the same species are not allowed. As with other Trainer Battles, {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Shedinja}} are also ineligible to participate.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon are not allowed outside special events.
* Battles are organized into sets of five. Trainers may battle in five sets per day, though sets left unfinished until another day do not count against that day's limit. Rewards are granted at the end of the set based on the player's performance.

===Unrated Seasons===
Though during most seasons achieving the highest rank requires a certain rating, several seasons have not used rating-based ranks at all. Trainers are still assigned a rating for matchmaking purposes but it is not visible.

* The Preseason at the GO Battle League's launch did not use ranks.
* In Season 5, the existing ranks and corresponding rewards were achievable through winning set numbers of battles. This change was made in preparation for the Season 6 rank redesign and introduction of [[Candy (GO)#Candy XL|Candy XL]]. 
* In the Interlude Season following Season 10, the maximum rank was Rank 20. The Interlude Season was scheduled to allow improvements to the Battle League's code.

===Walking requirement===
Prior to March 13, 2020, players would have to walk a certain distance in order to unlock a set of five GO Battle League matches, or alternatively could spend [[PokéCoin]]s to unlock them immediately. Since March 13, 2020, there is no longer any walking requirement.

From January 28 (the launch of GO Battle League) until January 31, 2020, players would have to walk 5&nbsp;km; from January 31, 2020 until March 13, 2020, players would have to walk 3&nbsp;km. After unlocking a set, any additional distance traveled will be rolled over towards unlocking the next set. A player could only participate in at most five sets (or 25 GO Battle League matches) per day, but afterward, could still accumulate distance for the next day's set.

The PokéCoin cost to immediately unlock the next set depended on how much distance was left:
* {{PCoin}}200 if at least 2 km remaining
* {{PCoin}}100 if at least 1 km remaining
* {{PCoin}}50 if less than 1 km remaining

Starting March 13, 2020, the walking requirement was temporarily waived amidst the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1238605978129461248 Niantic Support on Twitter]</ref> On April 5, 2021 (just before Season 7), it was announced that the walking requirement had been permanently removed.<ref name="Season 7" />

==Ranks==
The following lists the requirements to move up in each rank. All listed requirements are non-cumulative, so the counters restart upon reaching a new rank.

===Original Ranks===
Prior to Season 6, the ranks went from Rank 1 to Rank 10. The thresholds for Ranks 8, 9, and 10 varied during Seasons 1 through 4. In Season 5, all ten ranks were achievable by winning a set number of battles.

==Rewards==

[[File:GO Battle League rewards.png|thumb|right|200px|Selecting the reward tier in GO Battle League]]
Trainers can earn up to five reward bundles per set for winning in the GO Battle League. Before starting a set of battles, the Trainer can choose either basic or premium reward track. A [[Raid Pass|Premium Battle Pass]] is required for the premium reward track, which has better rewards than that of the basic. And upon finishing a set of five matches, the player will earn Stardust based on how many matches were won. Certain rewards on both tracks improve as the player moves up in rank.

===Random items===
The following lists the possible random item that may be awarded in the GO Battle League. The frequency of each item does not differ between reward tiers and rank.

===Wild encounters===
The possible [[wild Pokémon]] encounters as rewards vary depending on the Rank. They are caught at [[Power Up]] level 20 and have a guaranteed 10 {{IV}}s per stat. Currently, the wild encounter rewards are the same between the basic and premium reward tracks.

Usually, the awarded Pokémon is randomly selected from a pool that expands as the player increases in rank. However, reaching certain ranks will guarantee a specific Pokémon encounter for the first time only. If the player reaches another higher rank, that also has a guaranteed encounter, before being awarded the previous one, then the next wild encounter will be from the lower Rank first, and the higher rank's encounter will be queued for the next wild encounter that is earned.

After reaching a certain rank, it is possible to encounter the current level 5 [[Raid Battle|Raid Boss]] as a reward encounter. This feature was originally available from March 3 to April 21, 2020, then was made permanent at the start of Season 5.

== GO Battle League Events ==

* Season 11

All 3 leagues were available. Players could complete 20 sets per day. Fully-evolved Starter Pokémon previously featured in Community Days knew their Community Day moves when evolved during the event, including Charizard knowing [[Dragon Breath (move)#Pokémon GO|Dragon Breath]]. 5x stardust win rewards.

===GO Battle Days===
GO Battle Days are a recurring event where players can complete 20 sets of battles rather than the usual 5. These were introduced in Season 4 as GO Battle Nights, running from 6 PM to 11:59 PM local time, but were changed as of Season 9 to last an entire day. Some GO Battle Days feature a specific Pokémon in rewards or allow Pokémon to learn exclusive moves when evolved.

During each event, players received bonus Stardust from GO Battle League. Battle Nights in Season 4 rewarded 2x Stardust and in Season 8 rewarded 3x Stardust. Starting with Season 9, Battle Days reward 4x Stardust from reward bundles but do not affect the Stardust awarded at the end of sets.
