GBL - most popular, easiest entry for new players and the highest variety of pokemon you can choose from. Low CP keeps legendaries and mythicals at bay which can lead to swingy one sided battles. It gets the most coverage because the world championships are done in GBL. Any try hard and wanna be who thinks hes got a shot at going to Hawaii for PoGo plays here. Best league for casual games with friends and people looking to take on the world, as theres so mamy options your opps can bring.
UBL - Faster paced battles. Swapping and switching out is more strategic here but it has its own meta you can pick up the patterns of what people use. Battles can be one sided with low level legendaries being introduced. These legendaries feel like they ignore ivs and can make battles feel one sided but popular picks are generally spammed alot so if you run a counter meta team, you can do well. Under rated league imo, lots of fun to play but it took me a while to get used to its pace and play style.
MBL - Feels most like rock paper scissors. Battles play out in 3 defined acts as the 3 pokemon are paired up and played out. These battles I find to be, maybe not predictable but they pan out in an orderly fashion. Most people bring the same 2 with slight changes in their 3rd choice. Wins are blow outs and losses are landslides. These pokemone are ones the trainer has had for years and built up XLs to max out or recent grabs they paid out of pocket to max out by spamming raids. Armoured dogs totally fucked the meta and now every list is Zacian Palkia with some random 3rd choice. Armoured dogs shoukd be Mega Master Ball exclusives. Mega Masterball League is way better than standard MBL.
