About this template

The meta, not the whole dex

This board is Pokémon GO — the raid and PvP meta. For the original 151 use the Pokémon (Kanto) tier list, and for the MOBA the Pokémon Unite tier list.

This board loads the 124 Pokémon that define the current meta — the top 50 from each GO Battle League plus the best raid attackers — rather than all 900-plus Pokémon in the game.

That is deliberate. Nobody ranks nine hundred tiles, and a GO tier list has never meant the whole dex: it means what to power up. Every Pokémon here earns its place on a published ranking rather than someone's opinion.

Megas and Primals are separate entries, since they are different creatures in a raid with their own damage and their own team-wide boost. Shadow forms are folded into their base Pokémon — splitting them would double the board for a stat difference most lists do not rank apart.

Want the main-series roster instead? The Pokémon tier list covers the original 151, Pokémon types ranks the 18 types, and Pokémon Champions has that game's roster.

What moves a Pokémon

What actually decides a placement

A GO tier list is really several lists sharing a name, and saying which one you made settles most arguments before they start.

Raids and PvP disagree completely. Raid value is damage per second against a single huge target. PvP value is bulk, typing and energy generation inside a CP cap. A Pokémon can top one list and not appear on the other at all.

The CP cap changes everything. Great, Ultra and Master League reward almost different rosters — that is why this board carries all three. A Pokémon that dominates at 1500 CP may be unusable at 2500.

Availability is part of strength. A Pokémon you cannot realistically get, or cannot get the right moveset on, is worth less than its stats suggest. Legacy moves and limited-time raids matter more here than in any other game with a tier list.

Ways to split it

Grouping before you rank

124 tiles is manageable, but sorting first still makes the board far quicker to finish.

By format is the cleanest cut — raid attackers in one pass, then each league in turn. Plenty of people end up making three boards, and they are more useful than one that compromises.

By type matters more in GO than in most games, because raids are type-gated: the best Ice attacker is the one you actually need, regardless of where it sits overall.

Megas on their own. You get one Mega active at a time, so ranking them against regular Pokémon compares things you never actually choose between.

FAQ

Why aren't all Pokémon GO Pokémon on this board?+

Because there are over 900 of them and nobody ranks that. This board carries the 124 that define the meta — the top 50 from each GO Battle League plus the best raid attackers — which is what a GO tier list has always meant in practice.

Where did the list come from?+

Four published rankings rather than opinion: PvPoke's Great, Ultra and Master League rankings, and Dittobase's raid attacker rankings by eDPS. Anything appearing on one of those is on the board.

Are Shadow Pokémon ranked separately?+

No. Shadow forms fold into their base Pokémon, since splitting every one would roughly double the board for a difference most tier lists do not rank apart. Megas and Primals do get their own tiles, because they behave like different Pokémon in a raid.

Should I rank for raids or PvP?+

Pick one — they genuinely disagree. Raid value is damage against a single big target; PvP value is bulk, typing and energy inside a CP cap. Plenty of Pokémon top one and never appear on the other.

Does the meta change?+

Constantly. Niantic adds Pokémon and moves and rebalances leagues, so any GO tier list is a snapshot. Noting the month you made it is worth more than arguing a single placement.

Is the Pokémon GO tier list maker free?+

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