EDITORIAL OPINION
PokéVersus tier list
Filter the editorial shortlist
The role control filters the full tier table and leading candidates; the mode control filters the separate tactical examples below. It does not invent mode-specific win rates or recalculate the static stat index.
S-tier examples in this editorial model: Vullaby (Tank), Tentacool (Fighter), Snivy (Assassin), Gastly (Sniper) and Colmilargo (Thrower). The full S/A/B/C table below covers all 492 families.
Editorial opinion. Editorial opinion — static shortlist for objective play, not a measured meta. Within each visible role, min–max normalize HP, speed, basic-attack range and inverse reload time; a constant field receives 0.5. Score = 35% HP + 30% speed + 20% range + 15% reload. Rank percentile = the proportion of that role scoring strictly lower: S ≥90th percentile, A ≥65th, B ≥25th, C below 25th. Ties stay together. Scores compare candidates within a role, not different roles. No win rates, usage rates, damage simulation or in-game testing were used.
All values are the base roster definition before evolution, level, items, regional skins and Mega. These four inputs omit accuracy, projectile count, damage, crowd control, supers and player skill. A low tier means a weaker fit to this stat model, not an unplayable Pokémon. Names identify the starting family, so Gastly includes its evolution line. Official homepage and JS files are one publisher and count as a single source.

Picks by mode
Editorial opinion — the mode suggestions below adapt the static shortlist to each public objective. They are tactical examples, not measured mode rankings. A three-name lineup means three teammates, not three simultaneous characters controlled by one player.
| Mode | Suggested picks | Reason / limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Catch the Balls | Vullaby / Gastly / Tentacool | Carry/screen, ranged support, flexible third |
| Toxic Fog (solo) | Snivy / Miltank / Alomomola | Mobility or HP alternatives; cover and circle size can reverse this choice |
| Toxic Fog Duo | Vullaby + Gastly | HP anchor plus ranged partner; stay together for revives |
| Wake Up Snorlax | Alomomola / Gastly / Shieldon | Survival, ranged pressure and lob coverage; boss DPS is not modelled |
| Voltorb Ball | Vullaby / Snivy / Tentacool | Positioning and ball support; do not hold Voltorb beyond its 10-second fuse |
| Territory | Vullaby / Shieldon / Gastly | Point presence plus wall/range coverage |
| Team Duel | Gastly / Snivy / Tentacool | Ranged pressure and mobility; protect the fragile back line |
| Knockout | Vullaby / Gastly / Snivy | Screen, poke and reposition; one death removes a player until the next round |
What changed in 2.10
Official patch text: common +15% HP / +12% damage; rare +8% / +6%; legendary −4% / −6%; starter −2% damage. Current built values already include applicable rarity modifiers: do not apply these percentages twice. Role labels are the visible roster labels; Charmander and Squirtle have conflicting internal roleId fields.

Questions
Is this an official tier list?
No. It is an Editorial opinion based on a disclosed stat index, with no public win-rate evidence. All 492 family names are placed in tiers within their visible role.
Does S tier guarantee a win?
No. This model leaves out damage, supers, matchups and execution. Re-evaluate when the official roster changes; snapshot checked 2026-10-29, PB.VERSION 2.11.
