PRO PvP Viability Rankings
by Jorogumo
Welcome to the unofficial PRO PvP Viability Rankings thread, where we as a community can reflect on the current metagame in an attempt to accurately rank every single viable Pokémon. Everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts regardless of their level of expertise. Keep in mind that these rankings can never be entirely objective and that, as such, our opinions on the viability of several Pokémon may differ. Moreover, I am of the view that usage should not dictate viability. If you wish to look at usage stats, please check this thread instead. While we may disagree, what matters is maintaining civility and respect throughout our discussions. As a host, I will do my best to take into account everyone's thoughts. Currently, there is no ranking team responsible for updating the PRO PvP Viability Rankings as frequently as possible, but I deemed it necessary to provide the community with a freshly updated Viability Ranking post. I have submitted this list for review purposes to many players who have expressed a mix of agreements and disagreements over its content and I am thankful to all of them for their contributions. However, as I was understandably unable to satisfy everyone, I decided to keep the reviewers' names anonymous to avoid associating some of them with a list that they may not agree with.
The following Pokémon are ranked in alphabetical order within each sub-tier:
S Rank:
S Rank
A Rank:
A+ Rank
A Rank
A- Rank
B Rank:
B+ Rank
B Rank
B- Rank
C Rank:
C+ Rank
C Rank
C- Rank
I am unable to explain the reasoning behind every single placement, but I will try to break down some of the rankings whenever I have time.
Please feel free to discuss any of the above rankings.
