What the board currently rewards
No community votes yet. These are the starter picks from the editorial pass.
Method
How this page is built
01 · Starter board
One dated editorial pass
The starter board ranks raid attackers by damage and by how expensive they are to build. Great and Ultra League PvP are deliberately out of scope, because a species can top a league there and never appear on this board.
02 · Community vote
Three votes to move
Votes are hashed by network, not stored with an email. An item only gets a community tier after three votes, so one visitor cannot flip the board.
03 · Trend check
Daily, and logged
A daily job checks Google Trends related searches for “tier list” and records the last successful run. It changes the queue and the score, never the roster silently.

This page is not an official ranking from a publisher or developer. It is a dated editorial board plus a public vote, and both are labelled. If a pick looks wrong, vote it down or publish a competing board with the maker.
Reference
What the tiers mean
| Tier | Meaning | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| S | The best of the best | Reserve it for picks you would recommend without hesitation. |
| A | Excellent | Strong choices that just miss the top spot. |
| B | Solid | Dependable picks with a small catch. |
| C | Average | Works, but nothing stands out. |
| D | Below average | Only in specific cases. |
| F | The bottom band | Hard to recommend when alternatives exist. |
FAQ
Pokemon GO tier list questions
Does this cover raids, PvP or both?
Raids first. The board ranks attackers by damage per raid and by how expensive they are to build, because that is what a raid team decision turns on. Great League, Ultra League and Master League are separate questions: a species with low stat product can top a capped league and still be unusable in a raid.
Why are Mega and Primal Pokemon on the same board as regular ones?
Because a real raid team uses both. A Mega or Primal leads the party and boosts the damage of everyone behind it, so leaving them out would describe a team nobody actually fields.
Is a rarer Pokemon always a better pick?
No. Candy availability, stardust cost and the move set matter more than the dex entry. Several B-tier picks are cheap to build and out-damage a legendary that is stuck with a bad fast move.
What is the best Pokemon GO tier list?
There is no single authority. This page shows a dated starter board and a separate community vote, so you can see where the editorial ranking and the readers disagree. The maker lets you publish a third opinion in a few minutes.
How is this Pokemon GO tier list ranked?
The starter board ranks raid attackers by damage and by how expensive they are to build. Great and Ultra League PvP are deliberately out of scope, because a species can top a league there and never appear on this board. The starter board is editorial, the community tier appears after at least three votes on an item, and neither is presented as official publisher data.
How often is the Pokemon GO tier list updated?
The site checks Google Trends every day for related searches and records the date of the last successful run. Editorial reviews are dated on the page. Community votes update immediately, so a stale starter board is still visibly separate from live opinion.
Can I make my own Pokemon GO tier list?
Yes. Open the tier list maker, pick this roster or add your own items, drag them into S through F, then share a link or download a PNG. No account is required to export an image.
What do S, A, B, C, D and F mean?
S is the top band: the picks you would recommend without hesitation. A is excellent, B is solid, C is average, D is below average, and F is the bottom band. The letters are a convention, not a scientific scale.

S Tier Meaning: Why the Top Row Is Not Just “Best”
S tier does not mean “score S”. It is a grading convention with a specific job: marking the few picks that sit above the normal top band. Here is how to use it without emptying its meaning.
