Tier List Criteria
The following are the criteria to be met when ranking Pokemon for Online Battles.
| Tier | Criteria |
|---|---|
 |
S Tier Pokemon have great offensive or defensive stats, versatile moves and learnset, and can outperform other Meta Pokemon. |
|
Pokemon in A+ Tier are common and relevant to the current Meta, but are slightly weaker than S Tier Pokemon either in terms of Stats, Moves, or Abilities. |
 |
Pokemon in A Tier are stronger than the majority of Pokemon, but can often be countered, or lack offensive or defensive stats, making them inferior compared to Pokemon ranked higher. |
 |
In the B Tier, these are the Pokemon that have specific strengths, and are usually picked as counters for common Meta Pokemon. |
|
C Tier Pokemon have specific niches, making them viable off-meta picks, which can often require specific setups or team compositions. |
S Rank Pokemon Explanation
Incineroar
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
Incineroar
|
Base Stats:
95-115-90-80-90-60
Ability: Blaze / Intimidate |
 Excellent field Control with decent bulk and Speed.Fire/Dark Typing provides 6 Resistances and 1 Immunity.Intimidate has high value against Physical Attackers in Doubles. Struggles to deal damage by itself.Common Meta Pokemon with Defiant or Competitive can make playing Incineroar risky. | |
Incineroar plays well with Bulky teammates such as Kingambit and Feraligatr, since it can make use of various debuffs to help Attackers survive longer. With Intimidate, Snarl, and Parting Shot, Incineroar plays extremely well as a bulky support and a common sight in Doubles Teams.
Kingambit
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
Kingambit
|
Base Stats:
100-135-120-60-85-50
Ability: Defiant / Supreme Overlord / Pressure |
|
Defiant allows Kingambit to benefit off of common Attack lowering strategies.Can easily capitalize on momentum from Defiant or Swords Dance boost into Kowtow Cleave.Has 9 resistances and 2 Immunities.4x Weak to Fighting.Low Speed and SpD can make it vulnerable to fast Special Attackers. | |
Kingambit can be played either as a Defiant counter to Intimidate, or as a Supreme Overlord late game counter. With access to stat boosts, and a guaranteed hit move in Kowtow Cleave, or Sucker Punch, Kingambit is a predictable, yet highly effective Meta Sweeper.
A+ Rank Pokemon Explanation
Garchomp
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
Garchomp
|
Base Stats:
108-130-95-80-85-102
Ability: Sand Veil / Rough Skin |
|
Naturally high Attack, Speed, and Defenses make it an effective bulky attacker.Explosive threat in doubles thanks to access to hard-hitting AoE moves.Threatens Physical attackers with Rough Skin.4x Weak to Ice.Can be checked by naturally fast Choice Scarfed Pokemon. | |
Garchomp is a big threat in doubles due to its naturally high stats, paired with access to AoE moves. As long as Garchomp is not threatened by Ice Types, it can effectively threaten most Meta Teams.
Espathra
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
Espathra
|
Base Stats:
95-60-60-101-60-105
Ability: Opportunist / Frisk / Speed Boost |
|
Speed Boost + Calm Mind makes it a big threat using Stored Power.Can also be played as a Baton Pass support, passing increased Speed, SpA, and SpD to other Sweepers.Mono-Psychic type makes it fairly easy to counter with limited access to coverage moves.Naturally low Defense and SpD makes it relatively easy to stop from setting up early on.Setup can be countered by Taunt. | |
Espathra can be played both as a stat stick that capitalizes on Stored Power, or as a Baton Pass support that can pass on stat boosts to other Special Attackers. In Doubles Format where Espathra can be supported by other teammates, Espathra gains more opportunities to set up without interruptions.
Dragonite
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
Dragonite
|
Base Stats:
91-134-95-100-100-80
Ability: Inner Focus / Multiscale |
|

Mega Dragonite can be countered by other weather setters. | |
Dragonite, being a naturally bulky attacker still remains an offensive threat, even with the absence of Normal Tera for STAB Extreme Speed. With its new Mega Evolution, Dragonite can also be played as a Special Attacker, enjoying 100 Accuracy on Blizzard or Hurricane depending on the weather.
Glimmora
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
Glimmora
|
Base Stats:
83-55-90-130-81-86
Ability: Toxic Debris / Corrosion |
|
Excellent Hazard setter with Toxic Debris and Stealth Rock.Can also be played as a Special Attacker, making use of Meteor Beam + Adaptability after Mega Evolution.Mega Glimmora further boosts STAB offensive power through Adaptability.4x Weak to Ground.Ability rendered useless by Special Attackers due to non-contact moves.Hazard setup can be countered by taunt if predicted. | |
Glimmora is an excellent lead Pokemon which can set up entry hazards, or quickly set up with Meteor Beam. Thanks to its new Mega Evolution, Glimmora can now also be played as a Special Sweeper, capitalizing on Meteor Beam and Adaptability to shred opponents.
Torkoal
| Pokemon | Base Stats |
|---|---|
|
Torkoal
|
Base Stats:
70-85-140-85-70-20
Ability: White Smoke / Drought / Shell Armor |
|
Effective Special Attacker under Sun.Extremely simple to use, since Drought sets sun, setting up for Eruption.Can also be built as a bulky support to throw off opponents.Mono-Fire makes it predictable and easy to counter.Can be countered by other Weather setters like Pelipper. | |
Torkoal is one of the simplest, but most consistent Doubles Picks, since its main gimmick revolves around being sent out to set Drought, and then hit with Eruption.

Sorry for the confusion! The Meteor Beam strat requires a Power Herb, and not White Herb, to make it activate instantly. We recommend giving Glimmora a Mega Stone instead if you want to play it as a Special Attacker since Power Herb is currently not in the game yet.
