Amoonguss' functions as redirection support in the Doubles Metagame, and can easily find itself in all kinds of teams - from Hyper Offense to more balanced or weather-centered teams.

Palkia matches up favorably against other popular restricted Pokemon such as Groudon, Kyogre, and Zacian. Ideally, Palkia gets to Dynamax and take 3 KO's in 3 turns, but if not, increasing its team's Special Defense with Max Quake is still a great help for its team.

Grimmsnarl is one of the format's premiere support Pokemon, elevating a team's bulk with its Dual Screens and reliable speed control with Thunder Wave or Scary Face.

Dialga's great typing and mixed defenses make it a great user of Weakness Policy.

Tier 4 boasts Pokemon who are strong on their own, those who are strong against those in Tiers 1 to 3, and those who are a pain to deal with for all other Pokemon.

Landorus, while not as dominant as it once was, is still a potent threat. Thanks to its massive Attack stat and respectable speed, Landorus can pose a threat in or out of Dynamax.
Unlike in previous Pokemon metagames, there is no party or Pokemon that can defeat anything used against it. However, there are teams which can win consistently, as long as the right Pokemon are chosen for the battle.
Battles are not won by individual Pokemon. The team as a whole must be constructed to balance type strengths and weaknesses, and have built-in strategies to defeat opponents. In the current metagame, crafting a party that works together is more essential than ever.
It's no easy feat to make a killer team from scratch. It can be a good idea to start off with rental teams, which any player can download and use in Ranked Battle. This can help to understand how a team is built, how to select which Pokemon to use in a battle, and how to use the party's built-in strategies in battle to rack up wins.
Our Best Teams guide has all teams available for rental, so you can try out your favorites to get a feel for some of the most popular Pokemon and strategies in the metagame!
Best Teams for Ranked Battle
Series 13 gives players the opportunity to bring any number of Mythical or Legendary Pokemon to the team, which is way more compared to previous seasons and opens up more possibilities for team synergy.
With Series 13, your Mythical or Legendary Pokemon can comprise your entire team. This has never been done in competitive Pokemon before!
Zacian is still the top dog in the new season, fitting nicely into most teams thanks to its monstrous damage output. Having Pokemon that can take a +1 Behemoth Blade or reduce its damage output with Intimidate or Will-O-Wisp will help your team survive Zacian's onslaught.
Of course, outright knocking it out with a powerful super-effective move is also a good option. Do remember that not too many Pokemon can outspeed Zacian so positioning is important.
With so many powerful Mythicals and Legendaries now available to use, there's a shift to a more aggressive playstyle. Even defensive teams need a powerful and fast sweeper in the team to keep up in this increasingly hyper offensive metagame!
And that's our latest Tier List of the current Best Pokemon for Ranked Battle. With Series 13 having just been released for Ranked Battle, we're excited to see how the metagame continues to reshape in the weeks to come.
If you're thinking of getting into competitive play, or if you're having trouble winning online, some of the Pokemon in this article might be just what your team needs.
Here's hoping you can have as much fun playing online as we have. Check back soon as we continue updating with tier upsets, new additions and more individual Build pages!
