Pokémon Unite: Some Pokémon are much better than others
Some Pokémon are definitely better than others.
Pokémon Unite is all about defeating opponents and scoring points to win. Pokémon have one of three different roles: Attacker, All-Rounder, Speedster, Defender, or Supporter. However, some Pokémon are far better than others. If you want to get ahead, you’ll want to use the best Pokémon for the job. We’ve sorted all Pokemon into tier lists. The first list includes all Pokémon, and then the following lists are broken up by Battle type.

Be the very best
Just because a Pokémon is your favorite doesn’t mean that it performs the best. When choosing your playable character, having a higher-ranking Pokémon can really help give you an edge.
