Charizard could potentially be B-tier, but in the most recent patch of Pokemon Unite, they indirectly nerfed Charizard by fixing a bug on one of his held items, Muscle Band. Charizard and Garchomp all hit their power spikes in their final evolution, but their power spike is a lot weaker than Pokemon like Machamp and Gengar. These three Pokemon either have no clear strengths in their kit, or their power spikes are a lot weaker than the Pokemon listed above. Crustle is the same although one of Crustle’s biggest strengths comes from blocking off enemies through his ability to control terrain, Slowbro’s and Snorlax’s kits do a much better job. Both Absol and Greninja are very similar to Gengar where they get resets on their abilities, but the differences in their respective Unite moves make them worse than Gengar. These three Pokemon are in B-tier because while the reasoning is the same as the A-tiers, they are all Pokemon that have a better version of their kit. They’re all Pokemon that have exploitable weaknesses, but very strong nonetheless.

Gardevoir is another Pokemon that does well when she evolves from Ralts and unlocks her Unite move, but it takes a very long time for her to hit that power spike. Lucario is another Pokemon that has a very high DPS and is especially great in the early game, but his Unite move, Aura Cannon, is not very impactful. For example, Pikachu is a Pokemon that has a very high DPS, but has no means of escape other than the Eject button, so he’s very vulnerable. These Pokemon are A-tier because while they each have great kits and have clear strengths, they also have very exploitable weaknesses. The A-tiers: Pikachu/Lucario/Slowbro/Cramorant/Gardevoir/Alolan Ninetales/Gengar As all Pokemon in the game do, they do have their weaknesses, but they have more strengths than flaws that make them a must in every team composition. For example, Snorlax is the best Defender in the game with the vast amount of CC that he has with Heavy Bomber & Block, and Eldegoss is unparalleled compared to other Supporters because she’s currently the only Pokemon in the game that has mass healing. Image via Nintendo The S-tiers: Snorlax/Eldegoss/Machamp/Cinderace/ZeraoraĪll of these Pokemon have something in common they’re all a must-include Pokemon in every team composition, because they each have overbalanced abilities in their kit.

A bunch of us at Inven Global have also been thoroughly enjoying the game as well, and we break down which Pokemon are a must in any team composition, which Pokemon are absolutely useless, and all the Pokemon in between.
