Three. Ash has to be one of them to fight Leon, so there's only three open slots.
Interesting choices! Tho mine:I think that the remaining four Masters 8 are Steven, Diantha, Melony, and Piers. Steven and Diantha because they're Champions, and Melony and Piers because in the games they both give Raihan a tough time in battle, and since Raihan is Leon's rival it makes sense for Melony and Piers to be among the strongest trainers in the world alongside those two.
As for everyone's Pokemon teams, here's what I'd personally like to see everyone use:
Steven:
- Cradilly
- Armaldo
- Skarmory
- Corviknight (his go-to Gigantamaxer)
- Aggron (his go-to Z-Move user)
- Metagross (his go-to Mega Evolver)
Diantha:
- Gourgeist
- Florges
- Goodra
- Mimikyu (her go-to Z-Move user)
- Hatterenne (her go-to Gigantamaxer)
- Gardevoir (her go-to Mega Evolver)
Piers:
- Thievul
- Scrafty
- Malamar
- Skuntank
- Toxtricity (unlike the other Masters 8, Piers refuses to use any of the battle gimmicks in fights out of his sense of pride, but his Toxtricity does have access to its Gigantamax form)
- Obstagoon
Melony:
- Galarian Darmanitan
- Esicue
- Frosmoth
- Alolan Ninetales (her go-to Z-Move user)
- Glalie (her go-to Mega Evolver)
- Lapras (her go-to Gigantamaxer)
Cynthia:
- Spiritomb
- Milotic
- Porygon-Z (c’mon people, it’s been over two decades. It’s time to lift this ridiculous ban of the Porygon family, and what better way to remove their unfair curse than by being used by one of the most popular Champions?)
- Grimmsnarl (her go-to Gigantamaxer, thanks @Rainbow-Rain for the suggestion XD)
- Kommo-o (her go-to Z-Move user)
- Garchomp (her go-to Mega Evolver)
Raihan:
Lance:
- Noivern
- Drampa
- Turtonator
- Tyranitar (his go-to Mega Evolver)
- Flygon (his go-to Z-Move user)
- Duraludon (his go-to Gigantamaxer)
- Gyarados
- Altaria
- Salamence
- Aerodactyl (his go-to Mega Evolver)
- Flapple/Appletun (his go-to Gigantamaxer)
- Dragonite (his go-to Z-Move user)
Leon:
- Falinks
- Tyrantrum
- Dragapult
- Alolan Raichu (his go-to Z-Move user)
- Swampert (his go-to Mega Evolver)
- Charizard (his go-to Gigantamaxer)

There are currently 4 open slots, as Ash is currently not in the Masters 8 and as such doesn't count as a Masters 8 member yet. He has to defeat one in order to enter (Which is most likely gonna be Raihan).
I would rather have Brandon or Anabel than Melony and Piers in the PWCYeah, there's definitely going to be some more champs since Cynthia and Lance are here. I can totally see Steven here, and Diantha since she's popular and powerful enough.
I like the idea of Meloni and Peirs being in it...thought I'm not so sure...
We have Lance, but that is it. We havent seen ONE ELITE FOUR in the Hyperclass/Great Class.Me, I have to wonder if at least one Elite 4 member is part of the Master 8 since they're already a middle ground between Gym Leader and Champion anyway...
Well, not exactly. It says that he came close to becoming Champion in the past. Afterwards, Kabu fell so hard that he even got demoted to the minor league at one point. Kabu did pick himself back up, but it's clear that he's not as strong as he used to be, even though he's still tough enough to act as the first truly difficult challenge in Galar's major league. Melony on the other hand is explicitly shown to consistently kick Raihan's butt in the present day, and I'm personally going with current power rankings and performances for my choices of Masters 8. Otherwise I would have made Opal (who is very heavily implied to have outright been Champion back in her heyday according to Mustard's card) one of the Masters 8 too.Would personally swap Melony for Kabu (Since his League Card implies he is Champion material).
