Best Pokemon Ranking Criteria
S Tier Pokemon
Pokemon ranked in the S Tier are often used in Ultra League Battles. This is thanks to their versatile move pool, which allows them to learn moves that can deal at least 1x damage to most enemies! Prioritize the Pokemon in this tier when fighting other trainers!
A Tier Pokemon
Pokemon ranked in the A Tier may not be as effective as the Pokemon in a higher tier, but can still be effective under the right circumstances. A Tier Pokemon will be useful if they have a type advantage against the opponent, guaranteeing high damage output!
B Tier Pokemon
Pokemon in the B Tier may not be very effective when fighting in the Ultra League. This is due to their move sets not doing substantial damage against enemies. Consider switching to a lower league to keep competitive in the PVP format!
