How the Champions Lab tier list works
Each Pokémon's tier is derived from competitive usage rank and win rate, not vibes. S tier covers the top 15 picks, A tier covers ranks 16–40, B tier covers 41–100 and C tier is the long tail of niche picks. Click any Pokémon to see its full ability set, weaknesses and counters.

Reading tiers in context
High tier doesn't mean unbeatable. Every S-tier Pokémon has a 4× weakness or a hard counter sitting in B tier. Use the tier list to identify what's popular, then use each Pokémon's Best Counters section to plan answers.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the Pokémon Champions tier list calculated?
- Tiers are derived from usage rank and win rate across M-B Singles and Doubles. S tier covers the top 15 most-used Pokémon, A tier covers ranks 16–40, B tier covers ranks 41–100 and C tier is everything below.
- Which Pokémon is the best in Pokémon Champions?
- There is no single best Pokémon — the meta rewards covering threats more than dominating any individual matchup. The current top of the Champions Lab tier list shifts as new format snapshots come in.
- How often does the tier list update?
- Usage and win-rate data refresh whenever a new M-B format snapshot is published. Mega Evolutions and new releases are added as soon as official data drops.
- Should I always pick the top tier?
- Top-tier Pokémon are popular for a reason, but every S tier has a B-tier counter. Use the tier list as a starting point, then check counters on each Pokémon's page before locking in a team.
