Strong choices with a clear edge, but usually with more matchup, format, or team-building conditions than the S tier group.
Useful Pokémon with real strengths, but their best results depend more on a specific role, matchup, generation, or team plan.
How to read this list: forms are treated separately where their power changes substantially, and a “strongest” answer depends on the game and ruleset. Use the generation, type, category, and final-evolution filters in the editor to build a more specific ranking.
Use the board for a personal or context-specific ranking without presenting it as an official competitive verdict.
Compare the original 151 without later generations crowding the pool.
Rank every Grass, Fire, and Water first partner from all nine generations.
Build a ranking focused on Pokémon marked Legendary in the Pokédex data.
Use the complete National Pokédex and rank the designs you enjoy most.
Combine a generation with type, final evolution, starter, Legendary, or Mythical filters to create a useful pool.
Regional variants, Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax forms, Paradox Pokémon, and fused forms can perform differently. Treat each relevant form as its own entry.
A VGC list, Smogon list, Nuzlocke list, and favorites list answer different questions. Put the game, format, and rules in the title.
