When I finally reached Level 5 in Pokémon Go, I was prompted to choose from one of three teams: Team Mystic, Team Instinct, and Team Valor.
I’d been eagerly waiting for this moment, as all my friends had already gone ahead and joined the teams of their choosing.
Knowing I’d be stuck with whichever team I chose for, well, forever😆, I decided to do an extensive research on all the teams so that I could make the best choice.
If you’re wondering which team is the best choice for you, this article will provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
What is the most picked Pokémon team?
💯The most picked Pokémon team is Team Mystic, with over 40% of players choosing to be members. It is the biggest, most likely to emerge the winner in battles, and offers the most useful benefit to its players.
It’s led by the trainer, Blanche, who is a brilliant nerd dedicated to creating a sense of community among players and team members. Its mascot is the Legendary bird Articuno.
Team Mystic’s goal is to use logic and wisdom to conquer and hold as many gyms as possible in a given area.
As a result, they study the Pokémon they catch and train them to be as powerful as possible. Team Mystic gets along well with Team Instinct, and both teams HATE Team Valor.
What is the best Pokémon team?
😎Since Mystic boasts the most players, it’s the best team for you to join as you’ll be able to easily take gyms from your opponents.
However, you can also determine the best Pokémon team for you to join based on your personal beliefs and the gameplay advantage you’re looking for:
- 😈If you want to play as the underestimated underdog who trusts his intuition, Team Instinct is the best choice for you.
- 👫If you want to be a part of a large community that values wisdom and logic, Team Mystic is the best choice for you.
- 💪If you want to play as a warrior who believes in strength and bravery and never backs down from a challenge, Team Valor is your best option.
Which Pokémon team has the most players worldwide?
Statistics show that Team Mystic has the most players worldwide, with over 40% of Pokémon Go players choosing it as their preferred team.
Team Valor comes in second with around 32% of Pokémon Go players, and Team Instinct trails behind with up to 25% of the players.
Note, however, that these figures vary depending on regional preferences and period analyzed.

What is the least popular team in Pokémon?
😔Team Instinct is the least popular team in Pokémon. Only 25% of the players choose it as their preferred team, and they identify as the underdogs in Pokémon Go.
Note, however, that while Team Instinct is the least popular team in Pokémon, it can be the most dominant in your area.
Choosing the most dominant team in your area will make it easier for you to join and keep friendly gyms, as there’ll be fewer opposing players who want to kick you out of a gym.
