Pokémon Unite tier list

The best Pokemon for each role.

Pokemon Unite is a free-to-play MOBA, freshening up a familiar formula with everyone’s favorite pocket monsters.

Recommended Videos

There are currently 69 playable Pokemon in Pokemon Unite. I reckon this is a lot for one broad tier list, so we’ll separate them by their Battle Types. This should give you a better idea of which Pokemon are best for which role in Pokemon Unite.

Each tier for the Pokemon is determined by their effectiveness in battle. The difficulty of playing the Pokemon doesn’t come into the equation – if you’re good enough, you can make the S Tier Pokemon on these lists work.

All-Rounders in Pokemon Unite offer a little of everything. Solid attackers who can take their fair share of damage, too. They’re the jack-of-all-trades of Pokemon Unite, but master of none. For new players learning the ropes, All-Rounders are perfect.

Pokemon Unite attackers are focused on dealing tons of ranged damage. You wouldn’t necessarily count on these guys in close-quarters combat due to their overall weak crowd control and low endurance, but from a distance, they can be menaces.

Pokemon Unite Defender tier list

Defenders are probably the slowest type of Pokemon in Pokemon Unite. They’re there to cause problems with their large amounts of crowd control, and are great for stopping enemies in their tracks so the real damage-dealers can step in and do their thing.

  • Ho-Oh
  • Slowbro
  • Umbreon

A Tier

  • Blastoise
  • Crustle
  • Trevenant

B Tier

Pokemon Unite Speedsters are the definition of a “glass cannon.” High movement speed and solid damage, while having extremely low durability. If you’re a jungler, you’ll likely be playing as a Speedster to farm wild Pokemon.

S Tier

  • Darkrai
  • Leafeon

A Tier

  • Meowscarada
  • Zoroark

B Tier

  • Absol
  • Dodrio
  • Gengar

C Tier

Pokemon Unite Supporter tier list

Supporters in Pokemon Unite aren’t there to do damage. They’re there to, well, support. Supporters focus on healing teammates, making them perfect as the second top or bottom laner to help out the Pokemon in other roles like Attacker or All-Rounder.

S Tier

  • Blissey
  • Psyduck

A Tier

  • Clefable
  • Comfey

B Tier

  • Eldegoss
  • Hoopa

C Tier

  • Mr. Mime
