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 five different roles: Attacker, All-Rounder, Speedster, Defender, or Supporter. Regardless of if you’re playing on Nintendo Switch, iPhone or Android, you’ll need to use the best Pokémon for the job if you want to get ahead. 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.
Make sure you pair the best Pokémon with the best items from the Held Items tier list to make them even stronger. All of the strategizing mixed with simplicity really makes this one of the best Pokémon games out there right now.
Note: This list has been updated based on user feedback and the addition of Blastoise, Gardevoir, Blissey, Decidueye, Tsareena, Dragonite, and Trevenant.

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. This information applies across the board whether you’re playing on iPhone, Android, or Nintendo Switch.
