State Of The Meta

The current meta favors Attackers and All-Rounders in the jungle over Speedsters. Due to relying on melee attacks and being somewhat fragile, Speedsters have fallen out of favor, but it's possible that the game's regular updates will bring some change to the current meta.

Although with the new Pokemon's arrival, Hoopa poses a threat to its position in S Tier.

Mr. Mime comes after with its Showtime and damage-dealing debuffs.

▲Back To All Roles List

Overall Conclusion On Supporters

Wigglytuff has topped the charts and is the most used Supporter in the current Meta. Although its damage was nerfed recently, the pink slapping menace has been seeing more action. Eldegoss and Mr. Mime are the next picks during team matchups.

Lane Guide - Which Lane Should You Go To?

Tier Explanation

Note that the tiers below are not meant to match up with the overall Tier List. They are intended to let you know which Pokemon perform best in a given lane. Pokemon in the C Tier, for example, would best not be used in that particular lane.

SS Tier - Excellent performance in the lane at all stages of the game
- Is commonly spotted in high rank matches
S Tier- Performs excellently in the lane at many stages of the game
- Not as popular as those in the SS Tier, but still completely viable
A Tier- Performs well in the lane in general
- Not as good as SS/S Tiers, but it still decent in ranked matches
B Tier- Capable of performing decently in the lane
- Decently suited for the lane, but you may struggle against your lane opponent
C Tier- Might struggle to perform in that lane
- Might simply be better suited for another lane

Defender Pokemon tend to take the top lane, as they can hold it very well even if their lane partner should temporarily leave. Blastoise and Snorlax are perfect for doing this. However, it's more than possible to have any Attacker up in this lane as well. Speedsters are overall not well suited to this lane.

Although most people may associate the middle lane most with Speedsters, it's actually Greninja and Lucario that are most dominant there. In second place are the Speedsters - these Pokemon have great potential and mobility and benefit greatly from the middle lane's experience. In third place are often the other All-Rounders, who scale very well.

Although it's not impossible to succeed with them, we don't recommend taking the Pokemon in the C Tier into the jungle with you!

Bottom Lane Tier List

Bottom Lane benefits from having a Supporter, and this tends to be either Eldegoss or Blissey (although Wigglytuff has been extremely common as well). Their partner should be a Pokemon that can spar well and that benefits from getting exp. Speedsters are not recommended here, as they'll have a hard time doing what they're best at.
