Idkup Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) break[/hr] This thread attempts to accurately present the relative power of Pokemon in PRO's Ranked Battle format. This is not meant to be the end-all, be-all resource for teambuilding, and neither is it intended that you always pick the highest ranked option. Viability exists in tandem with synergy - teams that cannot capitalize on each others' strengths are doomed to fail. With that in mind, this is a good initial resource to use when first approaching Ranked PvP, and should in time be replaced with your own experience. break[/hr] break[/hr] S-Rank - These Pokemon define the metagame. They either perform several roles exceptionally well or possess incredible flexibility. Not being able to answer S-Rank Pokemon consistently is tantamount to throwing games. A-Rank - These Pokemon are extremely good at one thing or decent at several in the metagame, usually requiring little support to function. The ability to deal with A-Rank Pokemon remains of vital importance. B-Rank - These Pokemon are solid picks in the metagame, but tend to require some support to work. C-Rank - These Pokemon possess a single, well-defined niche in the metagame, and will likely only fit on specialized teams. Ambipom-Rank - If you are using any of these Pokemon, you are not playing to your full potential. Within tiers, Pokemon are listed in alphabetical order. break[/hr] break[/hr] S Rank Clefable - Bold / Modest / Calm Greninja - Timid / Naive / Hasty A+ Rank Dragonite - Adamant / Jolly Excadrill -Jolly / Careful / Adamant Ferrothorn - Relaxed / Sassy Garchomp - Jolly / Naive Gliscor -Jolly / Careful Heatran - Timid / Calm / Modest Landorus-Therian - Jolly / Adamant / Impish Manaphy - Timid Rotom-Wash - Timid / Bold / Modest / Calm Tangrowth - Sassy / Relaxed Tornadus-Therian - Timid / Naive / Hasty Weavile - Jolly Zapdos - Bold / Timid / Calm A Rank Azumarill - Adamant Bisharp - Adamant / Jolly Chansey - Bold Gengar - Timid Landorus - Timid / Hasty / Naive / Rash / Mild / Modest / Adamant / Jolly Latios - Timid Tyranitar - Jolly / Adamant / Sassy / Relaxed Volcarona - Timid / Bold A- Rank Amoonguss - Bold / Calm / Sassy Lucario - Adamant / Jolly / TImid Magnezone - Timid / Modest Mamoswine - Jolly / Naive / Adamant Latias - Timid / Bold / Calm Scizor - Adamant / Impish / Careful / Jolly Serperior - Timid Thundurus - Timid Togekiss - Timid / Bold B+ Rank Alomomola - Impish / Bold / Calm Breloom - Jolly / Adamant Chandelure - Timid Hippowdon - Impish / Careful Hydreigon - Timid / Naive Jirachi - Jolly / Careful / Timid / Calm Kingdra - Modest Kommo-o - Careful / Adamant / Jolly / Impish Mew - Timid / Careful / Calm Ninetales-Alolan - Timid Pelipper - Modest / Bold / Timid Skarmory - Impish / Careful Suicune - Bold / Timid Tentacruel - Timid / Calm / Bold Thundurus-Therian - Timid / Modest B Rank Azelf - Naive / Hasty / Timid Celebi - Timid / Bold Cloyster - Naive / Jolly Crawdaunt - Jolly / Adamant Entei - Adamant / Jolly Diggersby - Jolly / Adamant Heracross - Jolly / Adamant Infernape - Naive / Jolly / Timid Nidoking - Timid Raikou - Timid Reuniclus - Bold / Quiet Salamence - Naive / Jolly Scolipede -Jolly / Adamant Slowbro - Bold Staraptor - Adamant / Jolly Starmie - Timid Toxicroak - Jolly / Timid B- Rank Conkeldurr - Adamant Gastrodon - Sassy / Relaxed Gyarados - Jolly / Impish Hawlucha -Adamant Kabutops - Jolly / Adamant Klefki - Calm / Bold / Careful / Impish Kyurem - Timid / Modest Mandibuzz - Impish / Bold / Careful / Calm Moltres - Timid Porygon2 - Bold / Calm Torkoal - Bold / Relaxed Venusaur - Modest / Rash C+ Rank Aerodactyl - Jolly / Hasty / Naive Alakazam - Timid Chesnaught - Impish Darmanitan - Jolly / Adamant Feraligatr - Jolly Jellicent - Bold Ludicolo - Modest Marowak-Alolan - Adamant Muk-Alolan - Adamant / Careful Metagross - Jolly Quagsire - Relaxed / Bold Ribombee - Timid Rotom-Heat - Timid / Bold Sylveon - Modest / Timid / Calm / Bold Xatu - Bold / Calm C Rank Cofagrigus - Bold / Quiet Cresselia - Relaxed / Sassy Crobat - Jolly / Timid Doublade - Adamant / Brave / Impish Dragalge - Modest / Calm Empoleon - Calm / Bold Krookodile - Jolly Magneton - Timid Mantine - Bold / Calm Medicham - Jolly Omastar - Modest Seismitoad - Relaxed / Careful / Modest Smeargle - Timid Talonflame - Jolly / Careful Tornadus - Timid / Naive / Hasty / Jolly Tyrantrum - Jolly / Adamant Uxie - Relaxed C- Rank Arcanine - Impish / Jolly Articuno - Calm / Bold Avalugg - Impish Blissey - Bold Bronzong - Relaxed / Sassy Espeon - Timid Florges - Bold / Calm Forretress - Relaxed / Sassy Froslass - Timid Galvantula - Timid Gardevoir - Timid Golem-Alolan - Jolly Goodra - Modest / Calm Jolteon - Timid Milotic - Bold / Calm Nidoqueen - Bold / Modest Poliwrth -Relaxed Qwilfish - Jolly Roserade - Timid / Bold / Calm Sandslash-Alolan - Adamant Shaymin - Timid / Bold Slowking - Calm Stoutland - Adamant / Jolly Umbreon - Careful / Calm Vaporeon - Bold / Calm Venomoth - Timid Whimsicott - Bold / Modest Ambipom Rank Ambipom Blastoise Charizard Eelektross Electivire Jynx Politoed Slaking Wobbuffet break[/hr] If you would like to discuss a Pokemon's ranking, please make a post which indicates both current and desired rankings, and provides a solid explanation. Keep in mind that viability is not usage - how often a Pokemon is seen on the ladder alone is not a good argument for its placement. Personal anecdotes are also not good arguments for adjusting the placement of a Pokemon. With that in mind, discuss away :) break[/hr] Thanks to: Ironcoque, anthonyliu, dangarangs, and Fairview for substantial assistance compiling the initial version of this list Jorogumo and sgt bianco for substantial contributions to updating this list Shaui & other staff for letting me take over this thread Aphotyx's old thread for the headers Team Magma for being the best guild in the game Edited June 30, 2020 by idkup 4 Thanks to MadFrost for the signature!

Prehax Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Re-name Ambipom rank to F rank, as someone who reached Top25 twice with Ambipom as lead; I feel highly offended. jk Gastrodon uses the wrong sprite btw 2 ♦ Spawn-Changelog ♦ | ♦ Pokémon Spawn related - Suggestions | Feedback | Requests ♦ ♦ Paradox Guild ♦ Quote random number generation An acronym for "random number generator" or "random number generation", it refers to the process by which computers generate apparently random numbers, essentially the computer equivalent of 'chance'.

Qeight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 @idkup Hey there, I stickied your list again, do you mind adding a date to the title when it was last updated? This ensures that players have at least two sets of opinions in regards to what is best in PVP in PRO at the moment. And of course changed the date everytime you edit your list. Thank you Kind regards, Q8 Your appeal will be replied to as soon as the case handling staff member is available. We are all just volunteers with real life responsibilities, other interests and limited free time. Spamming your appeal will not yield a faster reply. Bumps every 24 hours will not(!) increase your chances for a faster reply. Do not contact staff members for private support. Share your question on the forum due to it being of use for others. Please use the proper forum as well. Unsolicited messages will be deleted. Thanks.

Idkup Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I took this entire list as a joke the second I saw "cloyster - naive" and ambipom in F tier. Hydro Pump is a good move. As for Ambipom, l o l @idkup Hey there, I stickied your list again, do you mind adding a date to the title when it was last updated? This ensures that players have at least two sets of opinions in regards to what is best in PVP in PRO at the moment. And of course changed the date everytime you edit your list. Thank you Kind regards, Q8 Done. The list should remain a reasonable indicator of power level in PRO, as afaik nothing major has been introduced since the last update. Once I get a feel for the meta again (probably Winter break lol) I'll revisit this. Thanks to MadFrost for the signature!

Idkup Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Changelog (7/13/19): zapdos unr -> a moltres unr -> b- articuno unr -> c hawlucha nature jolly -> adamant Hawlucha's rank is unchanged. I had severely overestimated its damage output previously, and upon running the relevant calcs, I'm fairly confident in my assessment that Hawlucha will not be taking the metagame by storm.
