About this template

Rank the whole Champions roster

Every Pokémon available in Pokémon Champions is on the board — all 222 of them, with Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian and Paldean forms as their own entries because they battle nothing like the originals. Drag them into S through D and build the Pokémon Champions tier list your own ladder record would back up.

This is a battle game rather than an adventure, so the roster is curated: almost everything is fully evolved, and you will not find Bulbasaur or Charmander here. Pikachu is the deliberate exception, kept as a starter option despite having an evolution.

Ranking the main series instead? The Pokémon tier list covers the original 151, and Pokémon types ranks the 18 types themselves.

New to ranking? The how to make a tier list guide covers the basics, and what S tier means helps once the top row gets crowded.

What moves a Pokémon

What actually decides a placement

Champions is a competitive battler, so its tier list moves for reasons a main-series ranking never has to worry about.

The regulation decides everything. Ranked seasons rotate which Pokémon are legal, so a Pokémon can be untouchable one month and unusable the next without changing at all. Note which regulation your list is for when you share it — it is the single most useful thing you can add.

Singles and Doubles are different games. Spread moves, redirection and speed control matter enormously in Doubles and barely register in Singles. A Pokémon built to protect a partner looks pointless on a Singles board and vice versa.

Mega Evolution rewrites matchups. Because only one Pokémon per team can Mega Evolve, holding a Mega is a whole-team decision rather than a slot decision — which lifts Pokémon whose Mega is worth building the team around.

How to split it

Grouping before you rank

222 at once is a lot to face. Sorting roughly first, then arguing about the edges, is far faster than working down the tray.

By role is closest to how the ladder actually thinks — sweepers, walls, pivots, speed control, support. It also stops you comparing a dedicated wall against a setup sweeper and calling one of them bad.

By speed tier sorts out a surprising amount on its own, since so many matchups come down to who moves first. By typing exposes which defensive profiles the current regulation punishes.

Regional forms deserve their own look. Hisuian Zoroark, Galarian Slowking and Paldean Tauros share names with familiar Pokémon and play nothing like them, so rank them on what they do rather than on the name.

FAQ

How many Pokémon are in Pokémon Champions?+

222 are normally available, and that is what this board loads. Regional forms count separately because they are different Pokémon in battle. Floette's Eternal Flower form is left off — it is transfer-only rather than obtainable in the game.

Are Mega Evolutions on the board?+

Not as separate tiles. The game has around 75 Megas, but a Mega is a battle mechanic applied to a Pokémon already on the board, so listing both would have you ranking Venusaur against itself. If you want to rank Megas separately, add them with + Add items.

Why are there no unevolved Pokémon?+

Because Champions is built for battling rather than raising. The roster is almost entirely fully-evolved Pokémon, with Pikachu kept as a starter option as the one deliberate exception.

Does the tier list change between regulations?+

Constantly, and it is the main reason two honest lists disagree. Ranked seasons rotate which Pokémon are legal, so a list is really a snapshot of one regulation. Saying which one you made it for is worth more than any single placement.

Should I rank for Singles or Doubles?+

Pick one first — they reward almost opposite things. Spread damage, redirection and speed control decide Doubles, while Singles rewards Pokémon that win a slot on their own. Two boards are more useful than one that splits the difference.

Is the Pokémon Champions tier list maker free?+

Yes — free, no login, and it runs in your browser. Drag them into tiers, export a PNG, and share it.
