Pokémon Unite character tier list

Even though Pokémon Unite is on the more casual side of things for a MOBA, there is still a hardcore player base that enjoys figuring out the meta to play the absolute strongest Pokémon possible. With such a large audience coming from the other Pokémon titles, it can be hard to learn all the new systems and understand what makes one Pokémon good and the others bad. When you consider that the game is constantly getting balance changes and even new Pokémon added to the roster, keeping up with what is good is a real challenge.

Instead of throwing matches away and experimenting with the massive selection of Pokémon, we’ve ranked the entire roster and will explain which are the best ones to choose in the current meta. Because there are dozens of playable Pokémon in the game at this point, we will only go into detail for the S- and A-tier Pokémon, explain why they rose above the rest, and list the remaining roster.

S-tier Pokémon

The S-Tier ranks are the absolute best of the best. They tend to have a combination of the most powerful and most versatile moves that allow them to beat almost any Pokémon in open battle.

Miraidon

Only added in Season 18, Miraidon from Scarlet and Violethas already skyrocketed to the top of the tier lists. The main reason is its ability to swap between two modes for long-range damage and close-range speed. There’s no situation where Miraidon can’t thrive, or even dominate. Its Unite Move is called Bright Future Meteor Storm and has the potential to wipe entire groups of enemies if you catch them in the area of effect (AoE). However, even the top-tier Pokémon have drawbacks, and Miraidon’s are its low durability and high skill ceiling to make the most of its power. If you take the time to learn it and pick the right movesets, Miraidon can carry you to victory.
