Welcome to our preliminary viability list. The metagame has changed an extreme amount since the Isle of Armor dropped and it doesn't quite make sense to do a full update to the viability rankings since we don't know what's good yet. So instead here's an unordered 3-tier list of about how good things are right now, just as a temporary resource until we have a better idea of whether some random drop should be C or C+.

These rankings (copied directly from RU's version), are divided into 3 groups. All groups are in alphabetical order, they are not ordered by viability. If something is not on the list, less than 4 council members thought it belonged in low tier or higher. That does not necessarily mean it's completely unviable, but that it's currently considered extremely niche in our earliest metagame impressions.
  • High Tier: Top tier Pokemon that you will commonly play against. Their presence has a huge impact on teambuilding and will always pull their weight when used.
  • Mid Tier: Pokemon that are solid options but are less consistent and require more support.
  • Low tier: Pokemon that are seen as viable but lack consistency and effectiveness.
