I'd actually put Wailord above Keldeo right now, since Keldeo needs a Skill Swapper while Wailord does not. The fact that Keldeo is PSB-farmable doesn't matter that much to people who haven't invested in either because it isn't PSB-farmable right this second.

Jirachi

Would be ranked higher if there were better Steel-type megas.

I don't get this one. The number of Steel Megas is too damn high (Mega Aggron incoming) and they're all so slow. And sure helps a lot with Mega Steelix! I think that 20 extra AP on Jirachi would be better than 15 extra AP on Dialga, because you get both OP Pokemon with 100+ AP. I use Jirachi a lot to S-rank stages and for Diance EB. If someone benefits from MB+ it's Jirachi hands down. So Dialga is B and Jirachi gets stuck at the bottom of D? I think the Dialga-Palkia duo is overhyped and Jirachi underrated

BlackTiphoon · 1ヶ月前

I'm not sure I'm understanding Dialga and Palkia at B rank. They are 2 of the strongest AP Pokemon in the game, and have very useful abilities. They end up in my teams almost every time they are SE, regardless of the disruption. Why wouldn't we want them to have even more AP for a fairly small investment?

Changelog

I’ll be putting all of the changes made to the list here, with the most recent one on top.

Edit #4 (02/14/17):

Here are where the new additions rank:

Cradily: C-Rank

Pikachu (Smiling): D-Rank

Armaldo: F-Rank

Here are all the ranking changes, both across and within ranks:

Jirachi: C --> B (We finally got a good Steel mega in M-Aggron so it’s only fitting.)

Umbreon: B --> C (So it can be with the other Eject+ options)

Flareon: B --> C (So it can be with the other Eject+ options)

Lapras: Still High C, but now at the top of C-Rank (Utility) because of its new PSB-farmable stage

Cobalion: Mid C --> High C (Now has a PSB-farmable stage, but faces heavy competition from Skarmory and Mawile)

Honedge: D --> C (See this thread.)

Magikarp: D --> F (Good night, sweet prince.)

Also added a note on the descriptions of Vanillish, Croagunk, and Cubone with the presence of new clones. No change in rankings though.

Edit #3 (02/07/17)

/u/jameslfc and I held a survey asking people where four Pokemon should rank. The results are in, and the only change that needs to be done is...
Moltres: A-Rank --> B-Rank (See this discussion of the survey results.
Pikachu (Angry): C-Rank --> B-Rank (This was separate from the survey, but see this thread and this thread on why this change was made.)
Added a line on each rank showing who the new Pokemon are in the rank, similar to the SS guide (Thanks, /u/IchigoWen!)
Distinguished special stages from competition special stages (if a main stage or expert stage becomes a PSB-farmable special stage for a competition)

Edit #2 (02/02/17)

Dialga: B-Rank --> A-Rank (See this thread.)
Palkia: B-Rank --> A-Rank (See this thread.)
Bellossom: A-Rank --> B-Rank (Lots of discussion on this, but see this thread and this thread.)
Zapdos: B-Rank --> C-Rank (Much more competition than before. If only it got a PSB-farmable stage...)
Jirachi: D-Rank --> C-Rank (See this thread.)
/u/jameslfc and I have decided to put some Pokemon up for a survey on where they would rank. This involves Pokemon mainly in S-Rank and A-Rank. Watch out for it!

Edit #1 (02/02/17)

Bellossom moved from high A to low A (Quite a lot of discussion on it being moved down to B but also some resistance, so I've put it there for now. Has a high chance of moving again in the next edit though.)
Abomasnow: C-Rank --> B-Rank (See this thread.)
Carnivine: C-Rank --> B-Rank (See this thread.)
Ranked Wailord above Keldeo-O (See this thread.)
Ranked Toxicroak above Croagunk (See this thread.)

Edit #0 (02/01/17)

Transition from Version 4.1 to Version 5
Added all new Pokemon that can now take RMLs, including Wailord and Pikachu (Enamored)
Here are all the ranking changes of old Pokemon from Version 4.1:

Kabutops: B-Rank --> C-Rank

Rampardos: B-Rank --> C-Rank

Blastoise: C-Rank --> D-Rank

Rotom (Normal): D-Rank --> F-Rank

I concede that Magikarp is D tier or possibly lower in this tier list, but I don't think anyone can refute it being an SS tier profile image. Any disagreements, fight me.

The big takeaway from this update is that Steel, Poison, and Ice types have gotten considerably stronger. All three share type coverage with Fire, so my natural inclination is to say that Charizard, Moltres, and Emboar all take a hit in the ranks.

Flying and Poison teams seem better than mono Fire teams for max dmg vs Bug or Grass types with little/no disruptions. Ice teams are now arguably better against disruption heavy Grass stages. Maxed MMX > M-Blaze against Ice and Steel types. And lastly, if burst damage was needed against Ice typing, it makes more sense to bring Machamp, Skarmory, Mawile, or Honedge instead of Emboar/Moltres (assuming all are maxed).

Fire still has great type coverage, which makes those two great RML candidates for Survival Mode farming. For me Emboar is high A-tier. It requires lower investment than Moltres and is more helpful for difficult stages where you need to make 3-matches.

I see Moltres as being the better option for Burn+Pyre teams while also providing more consistent burst damage on 4-matches. But Burn+Pyre teams aren't as dominant as they used to be. For that reason I think Zard and Moltres should fall to low-A/high B-tier.

skippingmud · 1ヶ月前

Hi! So /u/jameslfc and I held a survey asking where to rank four Pokemon. Before getting to the results, we’d like to thank the 60 users who participated in the survey! The turnout was great, and we’re definitely interested in holding more of these surveys in the future!

And now…

Survey results

Emboar: Keep in S-Rank

S-Rank: 80% / A-Rank: 20% / B-Rank: 0%

Easily the most lopsided choice. Four out of five respondents wanted Emboar to remain in S-Rank.
Many pointed out how it was an easy and cheap investment, both RML-wise and skill-wise (both in general and compared to Moltres).
A lot of people also highlighted its use in Survival Mode.
Those who wanted it to drop pointed out how Machamp is a much better investment.
Some also said it faces competition from other Fire-types.

Moltres: Drop to B-Rank

S-Rank: 1.7% / A-Rank: 45.0% / B-Rank: 53.3%

Respondents favored B-Rank overwhelmingly at first, but in the latter hours more and more voted in favor of keeping Moltres in A-Rank. In the end, B-Rank won by only a few votes.
Almost all respondents who voted to drop Moltres compared it to Emboar and pointed out the heavier investment needed both RML-wise and skill-wise.
Some users also pointed out the fact that Moltres’ PSB-farmable stage won’t return as a reason for its drop.
Similar to Emboar, some users also said it faces competition from other Fire-types.
Interestingly, those in favor of keeping it in A-Rank had the same reasoning as those who wanted it to drop (the heavy investment argument), but felt A-Rank was a better fit for it.
Those who voted S-Rank preferred Po4 over RT.

Sceptile: Keep in B-Rank

S-Rank: 0% / A-Rank: 43.3% / B-Rank: 56.7%

Unlike Moltres, this remained a close battle all throughout the survey. But in the end, the gap between those who wanted Sceptile to remain in B-Rank and those who wanted it to rise was larger than the gap in Moltres’ survey.
A lot of those who wanted it to stay in B-Rank weren’t fans of its mega effect and said that M-Sceptile wasn’t used that much.
Respondents also pointed out how it only received a marginal increase in AP
Some users also pointed out the limited availability of Sceptile’s mega stone
Those who wanted Sceptile to rise pointed out how its mega effect benefits a lot from the AP boost
Some also highlighted its use in all-Grass teams

Articuno: Keep in A-Rank

S-Rank: 13.3% / A-Rank: 73.3% / B-Rank: 13.3%

Interestingly, Articuno got support both for rising to S-Rank and dropping to B-Rank. But all throughout the survey, keeping it in A-Rank was the more popular choice.
Those who wanted Articuno to remain in A-Rank highlighted its similarities to Moltres but then said that its lack of competition from other Ice-types gives it an edge.
Those who wanted Articuno to rise to S-Rank pointed to the boost to Ice-types in general and how Articuno gels well with them.
Those who wanted Articuno to drop to B-Rank also compared it to Moltres, but then focused on how its PSB-farmable stage won’t be coming back.

Other insights

There should’ve been an additional question asking people which Pokemon they wanted to survey next. Lesson learned.
On that note, there were a number of respondents questioning the drop of Bellossom, so I will definitely include it in the next survey, whenever that would be. There were other Pokemon that were pointed out but Bellossom was the only one that was mentioned more than once across responses.
I am personally surprised by people pointing out how Moltres’s and Articuno’s PSB-farmable stage won’t be coming back — even though this isn’t necessarily guaranteed. I mean, aside from Mewtwo’s stage repeating, it’s hard to rely on the devs’ patterns when they have been continuously breaking them (see: Zapdos).
However, to recognize this, I will be editing the “PSB farming” column of these Pokemon to point out if they are a Competition special stage, or a main/expert-turned-special-stage for a competition.
There were other suggestions as well, and I’ll be replying to the users personally when I find the time.
And lastly, thank you to all who sent kind words. They are truly appreciated. :)

kappaa1234 · 1ヶ月前

It couldve been F-rank and Id still RML angry pikachu first. 15X multiplier is too hilarious

KinGod73 · 1ヶ月前

Is it possible that Bellossom should be taken down to B? Grass is good for Rock, Ground and Water, and the first two are covered for Mind Zap by Greninja, who also has a PSB special stage and a larger AP with more RML investment. I know it's useful for this competition but it's possible to get in the top bracket without training either Bellossom or Virizion (Though I'm boosting Virizion).

MayorOfParadise · 1ヶ月前

Thank you again!

I don't really undestand what you mean with Bellossom being a better teammate for Shaymin than Greninja. Shaymin's Sleep Charm boost (1,2) affects all types if you mean that. So unless you are using Mega Sceptile, Greninja is a better team mate for Shaymin against Ground, and Greninja is still a stronger Mind Zap user against Rock. Which leaves Bellossom only the niche of Water, unfortunately. Imo Bellossom should be B-rank with such a small niche unfortunately. :(

Also I think that Abomasnow should rank higher, I'd say B. Sure, it's a bit of a cookie investment (40 SP), but it covers three (Grass, Flying, Dragon) completely new types for Mind Zap, and that's amazing. The synergy of Mind Zap & Freeze is the same as Mind Zap & Sleep Charm, and we all know how you can keep a stage disruption free with that.

The_Hive_Tyrant · 1ヶ月前

I apologize if I'm missing part of the point of these excellent tier lists you create (and thank you doing so!), but although Virizion has PSB farmability working in its favor, does Carnivine's superior damage on average (Risk Taker > Po4+, and same with Flash Mob, despite the slightly lower AP) warrant a superior grade if one is willing to do the investing?

I've yet to dump RMLs into Virizion (for concern that Carnivine is the better damage dealer, once the current competition becomes irrelevant), but the temptation is strong.

I also made the (perhaps questionable) decision to invest fully into Pikachu (Angry), despite having a level 15 Emolga^SL5 , just because of the superior damage - again, on average, but by no means at all guaranteed. Here's hoping I didn't waste too many RMLs, I suppose.

OmnimonX12345 · 1ヶ月前

As someone who proudly gave Magikarp 10 RMLs before even playing a heart on tuesday I can say its placement is pretty generous.

FajenThygia · 1ヶ月前

Angry Pikachu should be B class, because it makes almost any timed stage easier, not just grass and water.

There are two ways to do a timed stage - either keeping a combo multiplier going the entire time, or use your best burst damage pokemon over and over. While the first takes more skill, both are viable and in shorter stages the burst damage may be the superior choice.

A maxed Super Bolt is 6900 SE. Which means it averages 1725 against normally effective pokemon. That's a slightly higher average than most SE Risk-Takers. It's like having a Risk-Taker pokemon that's SE against fourteen different types. Only for timed stages, but that's something a lot of us need. That should be a solid B.

MayorOfParadise · 1ヶ月前

It's me again...

I gave the list another look and I really have to question the A rank of Salamence. As you say you will mostly use it as a mega, so it won't be on the board much / it will hardly be a part of the combos it creates. It also covers only two types. Sky Blast is a thing, but I really don't see the A rank there. Seems like an "okay" investment, but a lot of things in B seem like better investments for sure.

Eleve28 · 1ヶ月前

Great list dude, no changes in ranks required from me. I really don't know where to start in maxing the new options. Bellossom and Virizion have (competition) priority, but after those I'm really not sure.

Azza_ · 1ヶ月前

I think Greninja and Bellossom should both have a clarification of only RML'ing one of them. Both are good options, but they have very similar coverage and if you invest in one, you don't need to invest in the other.

Also, I think M-Swampert is underrated. The advantage S-Gyarados has over Swampert is it doesn't need to be a mono-type team, but I never find myself wanting for additional type coverage when using waters. M-Swamp does a lot of damage if you use him correctly and with RML investment that's a significant boost. Would at least put him on par with M-Sceptile, who combines well with Bellossom/Shaymin but lacks that extra bit of utility; M-Swampert has Palkia, Suicune, Manaphy, Kingdra, Greninja and Feraligatr to cover almost every sort of utility you need to support him.

J_GAMER_X_thestorm55 · 1ヶ月前

I like how it say both nidoran get 40 RML despite them actually getting 5, 40 just seems like a hilariously high number

MayorOfParadise · 1ヶ月前

Nowadays, shouldn't Snorunt be A rank and Glalie be B rank? Now I would have a hard time explaining to anyone why they should RML Glalie instead of Snorunt. Sure, Snorunt takes double the RML but the AP is the same in the end and Freeze is very much superior to Chill and additionally Snorunt has a much, much better drop rate for PSB. Additionally Snorunt is the base of the rise of Ice teams and it has amazing support available in Abomasnow and Vanillish/Articuno.

The_Watcher_Nos · 1ヶ月前

I would like to lobby for Staraptor to be moved to A-Rank.

Right now, Staraptor is the only disruption remover on a Flying Team. If you want to run a Flying Team (especially now, since Genius Sonority is using so many disruptions on stages), you need Staraptor.

Staraptor only needs 40 Skill Boosters to reach Skill Level 4 on Stabilize+ which is 60%/90%/100% (almost as good an activation rate as Block Smash+/Rock Smash+; albeit removing only 2 rather than 3 disruptions).

BTW, I realize someone will argue that people will prefer to activate Sky Blast, but that didn't stop Throh (Pummel) and Talonflame (Pyre) from reaching A-Rank Utility.

But I understand a tier list is subjective, so I'm just happy that Staraptor is at least B-Rank right now.

Zachindes · 1ヶ月前

Thanks for these updates, I've used 77 RMLs so far and have 4 in the bank with (hopefully) 3 on the way from stage 200 in the EB.

Machamp is my only 10/10 but I've got a fair amount of 5/10 and 5/5. Golurk, Emboar, and Raikou are my main priorities outside of the competition. The problem is deciding what mons to use when I have so many that are maxed at lvl 10

Wonbee · 1ヶ月前

I'm unconvinced that RMLing Beedril is worth it. If you're using Mega Beedril, you aren't using it for damage. I can already beat survival mode itemless pretty consistently with the standard Risk-Taker team, and Beedril's damage is pretty much a non-factor there.

In main stages, I use Beedril for low-turn disruption heavy stages, and a lot of time Beedril only has neutral-effectiveness, making the damage boost seem even more negligible. I would love to be proven wrong though

esu_wishmaster · 1ヶ月前

Agreed with almost everything. Except for Angry Pikachu. It deserves at least B. When maxed out, one single activation of Super Bolt can decide whether you rank top tier in a competition or not.

RealPrajdo · 1ヶ月前

I personally think that Carnivine should be higher then C.

I know it hasn't PSB farmable stage and there's stronger Virizion but don't forget those pokemons can be paired. I'm already training them both for Gyarados competition and I must say it's an amazing combination along with SL5 Lvl15 Emolga.

james2c19v · 1ヶ月前

Great work getting an update up so quickly. Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm still in disagreement about the Emboar/Moltres thing:

but Emboar needs less investment both in RMLs and skill boosting.

I'm not sure that's accurate. Even if you give Moltres only 70 PSB and 5 RML, the result is an SL4 110 AP fire poke which deals an expected value of x3.15 damage on a 4-match. With the same investment, Emboar will be an SL5 110 AP fire poke which deals an expected value of x3.2 damage on a 4-match. That is, they're virtually the same poke at that level of investment. Yes, you get the 3-matches with RT (only an expected value of x2.58 damage) and the rare 5-match, but this is only a slight advantage, and one that comes at the cost of a skill swapper.

TLDR Moltres does not need more investment to be competitive with Emboar. It's actually competitive with less investment (no skill swapper required), and it surpasses Emboar with full investment.

Edit: fixed a number, thanks for reminding me /u/ryeyun. It doesn't change the main point though.

PlatybusGTE · 1ヶ月前

Nice list update! I agree with it.

There's a rumour Cobalion will be soon featured in a RML drop stage and a competition. In the case this turns out to be true (only time will tell), the Pokémon will have a PSB dropping stage. In this hipothetical scenario, would this potential farming be enough to take the mon up to Tier B - Damage?

G996 · 1ヶ月前

There is a table error for Pikachu (Spooky)'s line. Other than that in some descriptions you're saying Shock Attack lasts longer than Paralyze and Sleep Charm but AFAIK all lasts the same amount of turns. Some sources say it lasts for 4 turns, I'm not sure if it was like that before but I don't think it's true currently. I'm a SL5 Shock Attack Infernape user to back it up but it'd be cool if someone confirms it. Shame on me if I'm wrong about this.

NikeXTC · 1ヶ月前

Just a quick correction: Sleeping Pikachu reaches 115 AP at level 20, not 15 (even though I'd like it to do so)

EDIT: and Spooky Pikachu as well! Nasty copy-paste, I presume :D

Locky_Strikto · 1ヶ月前

If Zoroark can be placed higher than Beedrill with its similar 3 RML status why can't Beedrill be the same rank as Zoroark? IMO Zoroark RML is a little overrated here and should be in B-rank.

alex031029 · 1ヶ月前

I am not quite a fan of Mind Zap. I always meet a dilemma of whether to sacrifice some damages to toss the Mind Zap coin or seek maximum damage this turn. If the counter is a small number, I am quite anxious about the unreliability of Mind Zap on 4 match.

Fepl31 · 1ヶ月前

Ow, dude... I thought Dialga would be extremely good considering that I already use him often without any RML and it looks a lot like Yveltal... x.x

lethuser · 1ヶ月前

I think Virizion should be at S-Rank damage. We really lack hard-hitting options for his coverage - only Rock is covered by Machamp. I also think Greninja and Bellossom belong in S-Rank utility, they're beasts with SL5.

Wafflesauce · 1ヶ月前

Small note I wanted to add about Avalugg: You say that Articuno is more consistent, which is technically untrue. At SL5, Flash Mob is 65/100/100 vs 0/100/0 for Po4.

Another note is that Flash Mob only takes 70 PSBs vs. Po4 taking 120 PSBs.

I will concede that a Lvl 20 SL5 Articuno will do more burst damage than a Lvl 15 SL5 Avalugg, but I personally prefer that extra flexibility from getting activations from 3 and 5 matches, allowing to set up for better combos, rock breaks, and mega activations.

Bacteriophag · 1ヶ月前

I really like these opinion threads but I often RML Pokemon based on my personal likes. So far I fed:

Charizard - 5 (power to the 60s!)

Glalie - 5 (see above)

Raikou - 2 (in progress, my favorite Johto dog)

Suicune - 2 (in progress, my second favorite Johto dog)

Machamp - 5 (Kanto power at its finest, also SL5)

Mewtwo - 5 (2 Megas for a price of 1)

Lucario - 5 (Pummel is good for Machamp)

Yveltal - 5 (soooo many Psychic and Ghost EBs... so many...)

Mawile - 5 (long awaited love for this cool Mega pal from early times in game)

Salamence - 5 (I admit this was impulsive decision because of competition but it paid off with 2nd tier)

Umbreon - 4 (in progress, my favorite Eeveelution, also swapped to Eject+)

Keldeo - 1 (Flash Mob hype was real... maybe I will finish it one day)

I don't want to RML Golurk, Throh or Virizion no matter how useful they may be, just because I don't like these Pokemon much and I hope for alternatives in future.

J_GAMER_X_thestorm55 · 1ヶ月前

Hi! So /u/jameslfc and I decided to put four Pokemon into a survey on where they should be ranked. Check out the survey here! There's already been some discussion on all four of them (some more than others), so if you want to know more about why they are being surveyed, check the links below:

Emboar (Thread 1, Thread 2)
Moltres (Thread 1, Thread 2)
Sceptile (Thread 1)
Articuno (Thread 1)

BrunoB1989 · 1ヶ月前

Since the last update, I'm thinking about investing RMLs on a anti-fairy team, but I'm not sure yet if I should go with poison or steel.
* Poison team
M-Beedril to remove disruptions, a support with Poison skill, another support with Poison Pact and Muk for burst damage.
* Steel team
Some steel mega, Jirachi to help with the evolution, Dialga for disruptions and Skarmory for more damage.

What do you guys think, any opinion or better options?

lllDoubleDlll · 1ヶ月前

Brand new to the game here, on mobile. Was so stoked to get venesaur and blastoise today. Apparently I've got a lot to learn.

bengine99 · 1ヶ月前

So, apparently next week's Cradily & Armaldo come with 5 RML slots.

I guess Cradily should be ranked C, while Armaldo get F?

Info coming from /u/OreoCupcakes

Cradily

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Machamp	20 (125)	Eject, Risk-Taker	Special stage	Best type coverage in the game with one of the most powerful offensive skills when skill boosted. Also works well in Pummel teams and is a very good option for Survival Mode farming.
Emboar	15 (110)	Barrier Bash, Risk-Taker	Special stage	Great type coverage and a great skill, which can do significant burst damage especially when boosted by Burn. Also a very good option for Survival Mode farming. It does have competition in Moltres, which has higher AP and a more consistent skill, but Emboar needs less investment both in RMLs and skill boosting.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Golurk	15 (105)	Block Smash+	None	Only BS+ user SE against Electric-types. Covers four additional types, more than any other BS+ Pokemon. Also a great asset to Ground Forces teams.
Raikou	15 (110)	Power of 5, Barrier Bash+	Competition special stage	Though it has lost its unique niche as an SE BB+ user against Water-types, it is still a very good option because Raikou has high AP and is available when you most need it - in the mid-game where barrier-heavy Water-type stages are abundant.
Suicune	15 (110)	Power of 5, Block Smash+	Competition special stage	While it has no unique niche, it has an advantage against the BS+ users it overlaps with in type coverage by having higher AP (except Dialga) and being available earlier. Also works well in all-Water teams.
Yveltal	15 (115)	Power of 5, Block Smash+	Competition special stage	Only BS+ user SE against Ghost-types. Though it gets a smaller power boost than other S-Ranks, it makes Yveltal a great asset to Sinister Power teams both as a utility teammate and as a high AP support.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Charizard	15 (105)	Burn	None	Burn makes it a great option in all-Fire teams, synergizing well with other offensive skills. M-Charizard Y is a usable mega in the early-game but it has a hard time keeping up later on. Held back by the rise of more powerful Fire-types and different playstyles that make it less of a necessity as well as the lack of a PSB-farmable stage.
Mewtwo	20 (130)	Swap, Power of 4	Competition special stage	Highest AP in the game. Has two powerful megas: one has arguably the best mega effect for combos, the other appreciates the AP boost. Even as a support it can deal huge burst damage with skill boosted Po4, and it's also a good pick for main stage Meowth because of its consistent damage output. Held back by its niches being smaller than those in S-Rank and needing heavy investment.
Zoroark	13 (99)	Sinister Power, Hitting Streak	Main stage 465	Sinister Power has a huge multiplier to make the many strong Dark-types even stronger, and unlike Giratina-O, Zoroark can benefit from it. Also has a PSB-farmable main stage. Held back by low AP and relatively low activation rates even at SL5.
Lucario	15 (110)	Pummel	None	Pummel makes the many strong Fighting-types even stronger and works well with MMX. Held back by needing significant skill boosting to get Pyre's activation rates, and even then it still has a low multiplier that can't be boosted by other skills. M-Lucario is decent but it isn't what it used to be, although early-game players can get a lot of mileage out of it.
Articuno	20 (125)	Power of 4	Competition special stage	Strongest Ice-type in the game, which has great type coverage and has a new toy in Ice Dance. Also acts as a good burst damage dealer, which synergizes well with Freeze. Held back by needing significant investment both in RMLs and skill boosters to shine.
Emolga	15 (105)	Risk-Taker	Main stage 503	Of all the hard-hitting options against Water- and Flying-types, Emolga is the easiest investment, with an easy-to-boost skill and being available early on. Held back by its small type coverage as well as having a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Thundurus-T.
Virizion	15 (110)	Power of 4+	Competition special stage	Works well in dedicated all-Grass teams as a burst damage dealer, synergizing with Shaymin-L. Held back by its type coverage overlapping with many viable and stronger options like Machamp, Articuno, and Emolga.
Azumarill	20 (120)	Opportunist, Risk-Taker	None	Strongest support for Pixie Power teams. Covers Dragon- and Fighting-types, which lack hard-hitting options. Held back by its small type coverage and the lack of a PSB-farmable stage.
Salamence	15 (115)	Hitting Streak, Mega Boost	Competition special stage	Great mega with a good type backed by Sky Blast. Held back by its mega stone being obtainable very late in the game. Also held back by how the RMLs don't have a big effect on Salamence since its mega won't populate the board.

Other insights

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Greninja	20 (125)	Mind Zap	Competition special stage	Strongest Mind Zap user in the game, which can find use even in stages Greninja is neutrally effective in. Also appreciates the boost to all-Water teams. Held back by how relatively small its niche is compared to those in S-Rank. Do note that it overlaps a lot with Bellossom, and it's recommended that you only invest in one or the other.
Throh	15 (105)	Power of 5, Barrier Bash+	Main stage 519	Great utility option for all-Fighting teams, with it being the only BB+ user SE against Normal-types. Held back by how relatively small its niche is compared to those in S-Rank.
Talonflame	15 (105)	Block Smash+	Special stage	Great utility option for all-Fire teams, and the AP increase is useful for boosted combos. Held back by having weaker but less investment-heavy options in all of the types it covers.
Dialga	15 (115)	Block Smash+	Special stage	Great skill and ties with Yveltal for having the highest AP among BS+ users. Held back by its relatively small niche compared to those in S-Rank. It also has competition in BS++ Registeel, but it trades two less blocks for 25 more AP.
Palkia	15 (115)	Barrier Bash+	Special stage	Great skill and has the highest AP among BB+ users. Can also work well in dedicated all-Water teams. Held back by its relatively small niche compared to those in S-Rank.
Glalie	15 (105)	Chill	Main stage 427	Skill boosted Chill puts in a lot of work, thanks to Glalie's great type coverage and Chill's lack of type immunities. M-Glalie also has a usable clearing pattern and is one of the better megas in the early-game. Held back by how relatively small its niche is compared to those in S-Rank and how its PSB-farmable main stage has a terrible drop rate.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Moltres	20 (125)	Power of 4	Competition special stage	Great type coverage backed by a consistently powerful skill that can be boosted by Burn. Held back by needing significant investment both in RMLs and skill boosters to shine as well as having direct competition in Emboar, which needs much less investment.
Vanillish	20 (115)	Opportunist, Ice Dance	Main stage 526	Unique Ice Dance skill that boosts a great type, and synergizes well with Freeze. Also has a PSB-farmable main stage with a good drop rate. Held back by a low multiplier, relatively low activation rates even at SL5, and the heavy RML investment needed for the high AP. Also of note is that it has a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Beartic.
Pidgeotto	12 (80)	Flap, Sky Blast	Main stage 443	While Braviary has higher AP, Pidgeotto's Sky Blast is PSB-farmable, and its stage has a great drop rate. You can even run both birds to remedy Sky Blast's lower activation rates. Held back by low AP and relatively low activation rates even at SL5.
Sceptile	13 (99)	Vitality Drain	None	Its mega affect appreciates the AP boost since it can compound with Sleep Charm (Shaymin-L) and Sleep Combo (Tangrowth). Held back by the low AP boost and its mega being overshadowed by more powerful and consistent options.
Skarmory	15 (105)	Steely Resolve, Nosedive	Main stage 496	The best burst damage dealer against Fairy-types, thanks to a high-damaging and consistent skill that can be PSB-farmed in the main stages. Held back by being overshadowed by Machamp in the rest of its type coverage.
Beedrill	13 (92)	Block Smash	Special stage	One of the best mega effects in the game, and the AP boost can be useful for Survival Mode farming. Held back by the small boost the RMLs give compared to other investments.
Pikachu (Angry)	20 (115)	Super Bolt	None	Nothing compares to: x15 multiplier at SL5 coming off of 115 AP - that's 6,900 damage on an SE 5-match. Held back by needing a huge amount of investment just to get there, and even then it has small type coverage and faces competition from Emolga and Virizion.
Gulpin	15 (100)	Opportunist, Poison	Main stage 419	Good skill that can be PSB-farmed in the main stage with the best drop rate, something it has over Toxicroak. Poison also lasts much longer than other similar skills. Held back by small type coverage, the heavy investment needed to get good activation rates, and a smaller pool of usable teammates compared to Charizard and Snorunt.
Sharpedo	20 (120)	Eject, Mega Boost	None	Its mega effect appreciates the AP boost, which can be backed by Sinister Power. Held back by the significant investment needed to get there as well as competition from M-Gengar and M-Banette, who have more consistent mega effects.
Muk	15 (110)	Power of 4+	None	Strongest hard-hitter for Poison-types. Held back by poor type coverage and the huge investment needed for skill boosting.
Wailord	15 (110)	Flash Mob	None	Great damage dealer for all-Water teams. Held back by competing with hard hitters that cover its types and have better type coverage as well as Flash Mob needing significant investment to have reliable activation rates. Also held back by how the burst damage from Flash Mob isn't affected by the AP boost.
Keldeo-O	15 (105)	Block Smash, Flash Mob	Special stage	Basically Wailord with 5 less AP, one more Skill Swapper, and a PSB-farmable stage. There is merit to investing in both, though, as double Flash Mob teams are used in Survival Mode farming.
Carnivine	15 (105)	Risk-Taker, Flash Mob	None	Both skills can outperform Virizion when skill boosted, but held back by having slightly lower AP and lacking a PSB-farmable stage.
Mawile	20 (115)	Steely Resolve, Risk-Taker	None	Has lost its unique niche as a hard-hitter against Fairy-types, and now has to compete with the easier-to-invest option in Skarmory. But it does still have a usable mega with a good clearing pattern and a skill that takes less SPs to get to SL5. Still, consider the presence of alternatives before investing in Mawile.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Snorunt	20 (105)	Freeze	Main stage 417	Has a powerful skill that acts as a Sleep Charm for Ice-types without any relevant type immunities, which can be skill boosted thanks to its PSB-farmable main stage that has a great drop rate. Held back by the heavy investment needed to have good AP and Freeze having low activation rates even when skill boosted. Also has a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Vanilluxe.
Bellossom	15 (110)	Mind Zap	Special stage	Great asset to all-Grass teams as it synergizes very well with Shaymin-L. Also finds use in stages it is neutrally effective in. Held back by how relatively small its niche is compared to those in S-Rank and overlapping with Greninja and Pikachu (Enamored), which both have higher AP. Do note that it overlaps a lot with Greninja, and it's recommended that you only invest in one or the other.
Groudon	15 (110)	Quake	Special stage	Has a great utility skill similar to Glalie, but held back by Quake only being effective against two of the five types Groudon is SE against. On top of that, these two types are already covered by more powerful and/or reliable Water-types like Greninja and Kingdra.
Staraptor	20 (120)	Stabilize+	None	A much-needed disruption clearer for Sky Blast teams, which lack BS+ and BB+ users. Held back by the huge investment needed in both RMLs and skill boosters.
Diancie	15 (110)	Barrier Bash+, Mega Boost+	None	Both skills are good utility options. BB+ Diancie lets you compound its utility with a better mega, while MB+ Diancie is good for M-Diancie. Held back by its mega being very niche compared to others as well as its type coverage being covered by other BB+ users who are only slightly weaker than Diancie if it has RMLs (i.e., Zygarde-50%, Cresselia, Throh).
Jirachi	15 (110)	Mega Boost+	Special stage	Works very well with M-Aggron, and has high AP to boot. Can also be useful in the few stages M-Steelix excels in. Held back by its relatively small niche compared to those in higher ranks.
Abomasnow	13 (92)	Heavy Hitter, Mind Zap	None	Good disruption delayer for all-Ice teams, and can work well in extending Freeze or Chill. Held back by low AP and having to compete for a slot in all-Ice teams.
Pikachu (Sleeping)	20 (115)	Sleep Charm	Special stage	Great skill that can be PSB-farmed, giving Electric-types a boost. Held back by the small type coverage and overlapping with the weaker but less investment-heavy Shaymin-L.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Donphan	13 (92)	Quake, Ground Forces	Main stage 409	Good skill backing up one of the best types of the game. Held back by a low multiplier and low activation rates even when skill boosted, as well as Donphan's low AP. And while it has a PSB-farmable stage, it has one of the worst drop rates in the game.
Cobalion	15 (110)	Power of 4+	Competition special stage	Good skill that's farmable, but has to compete with Skarmory and Mawile as a Steel-type burst damage dealer.
Toxicroak	15 (105)	Prank, Poison	None	While it has 5 more AP than Gulpin, it is outclassed at the moment because of the lack of a PSB-farmable stage. It also clashes with Croagunk visually.
Charmeleon	15 (100)	Burn	Main stage 413	Outclassed by Charizard except in one thing - its Burn is PSB-farmable. Unfortunately, its PSB-farmable stage has a bad drop rate.
Croagunk	15 (100)	Prank, Poison Pact	None	Unique skill that gives Poison-types a boost, and it has great activation rates at SL5. Also synergizes well with Gulpin/Toxicroak. Held back by small type coverage, the lack of a PSB-farmable stage, and the presence of a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Tentacruel.
Zapdos	20 (125)	Power of 4	None	Has higher AP and a more consistent skill than Emolga and Angry Pikachu, but held back by small type coverage and having no PSB-farmable stage. Also now has more competition from newly buffed Grass- and Ice-types.
Gyarados (Shiny)	13 (99)	L-Boost	None	The slight damage boost can be useful, and M-Shiny Gyarados may become more common considering the boost to all-Water teams. Held back by the small boost the RMLs give compared to other investments.
Avalugg	15 (110)	Barrier Bash, Flash Mob	None	An interesting pick for all-Ice teams, but unfortunately held back by heavy competition from Articuno, which has higher AP and a more consistent skill.
Terrakion	15 (110)	Power of 4+	None	Good skill and great type coverage, but overshadowed by stronger options with easier-to-invest skills and more critical type matchups. Also held back by the lack of a PSB-farmable stage.
Larvitar	15 (100)	Risk-Taker	None	Great skill and great type coverage, but overshadowed by stronger options with higher AP and/or more critical type matchups. Also held back by the lack of a PSB-farmable stage.
Sawk	15 (105)	Power of 4, Rock Break+	Main stage 514	Great skill in Po4 and great type coverage, but largely outclassed by Machamp. RB+ Sawk has a clone in Hitmontop.
Phanpy	15 (100)	Opportunist, Power of 4+	Main stage 403	Great skill and great type coverage, but overshadowed by Landorus-T and by stronger options with higher AP. Also has a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Claydol.
Honedge	20 (115)	Steely Resolve, Risk-Taker	None	A Mawile clone minus the mega. Could work if you want to run multiple Steel-type heavy-hitters, but it faces competition from Skarmory and Cobalion, who both have PSB-farmable stages.
Mew	15 (100)	Power of 5, Power of 4+, Block Smash+, Barrier Bash+, Eject+	Special stage	Jack of all trades, master of none. Mew can actually rank in either Damage or Utility, but I put it here because Po4+ Mew is one of only two viable hard-hitters for Psychic-types, and your only option if you're using MMY. BS+ Mew is also useful when paired with MMY. But for all its skills, it faces tough competition when used outside an MMY team.
Masquerain	15 (105)	Opportunist, Nosedive	None	At SL5, Nosedive has similar activation rates to Risk-Taker and has a more consistent multiplier. Held back by its so-so type coverage that's already covered by stronger types as well as a lack of a PSB-farmable stage.
Heracross	15 (110)	Crowd Control	None	The AP boost is great for its mega effect, but unlike Sharpedo it can't be boosted by other skills and it has a so-so type. Has a good pre-mega skill as well but it needs significant investment to have reliable activation rates.
Shuckle	15 (105)	Risk-Taker	None	Great skill, but its so-so type coverage leaves it outclassed.
Genesect	15 (115)	Crowd Control	None	Good skill, but its so-so type coverage leaves it outclassed, and it needs significant skill investment to have good activation rates.
Sableye	15 (100)	Risk-Taker, Swap+	Main stage 458	Great skill, but largely overshadowed by Hoopa-U, although it makes up for it by having a PSB-farmable stage.
Slowbro	15 (105)	Barrier Bash	None	The AP boost is great for its mega effect, but it has to compete with the more consistent MMY.
Swampert	13 (99)	Hitting Streak	None	The AP boost is great for its mega effect, but it has to compete with Shiny Gyarados in all-Water teams as well as more consistent megas with better types.
Dusknoir	15 (110)	Last-Ditch Effort, Sleep Combo	Special stage	Has the specific niche of being a great support in main stage Meowth due to being a Ghost-type and having LDE. Sleep Combo Dusknoir also works well with Darkrai, but it is largely outclassed by Sinister Power.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Lapras	15 (100)	Power of 4, Shock Attack	Stage 549	Lapras can work well with Greninja, with Shock Attack lasting longer than other similar skills and being PSB-farmable in the main stages. Held back by having to compete with Kingdra, whose Whirlpool has much better activation rates, as well as overlapping with Shaymin-L, Glalie, and Groudon. Po4 Lapras has to compete with Wailord and Volcanion, and even then is outclassed by stronger options with higher AP and wider type coverage.
Kabutops	15 (105)	Barrier Bash+	Special stage	Great skill, but its niche is already covered by other BB+ users who need less investment (i.e., Reshiram) or have more critical type matchups (i.e., Throh, Raikou, Palkia).
Rampardos	15 (105)	Block Smash+	None	Great skill, but its niche is already covered by other BS+ users who need less investment (i.e., Zekrom) or have more critical type matchups (i.e., Golurk, Talonflame, Dialga). Also has a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Gigalith.
Umbreon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	Main stage 423	Only Eject+ user SE against Psychic- and Ghost-types, which is helpful for all-Dark teams. Held back by its skill being much more situational than the other disruption-clearing skills.
Flareon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	Main stage 459	Covers a lot of types and is a niche utility option for all-Fire teams. Held back by its skill being much more situational than the other disruption-clearing skills as well as having a direct but weaker clone in Winking Cyndaquil.
Trubbish	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Mind Zap	None	Can be a good disruption delayer for all-Poison teams, and can work well in extending Poison. Held back by small type coverage and having to compete for a slot in all-Poison teams with more powerful options.
Pikachu (Enamored)	20 (115)	Mind Zap	None	Can work well with Pikachu (Sleeping) to extend Sleep Charm and give a boost to all-Electric teams. Held back by small type coverage as well as the heavy investment needed in RMLs and skill boosting.
Togepi	15 (85)	Opportunist, Block Smash++	Main stage 506	The additional two removed blocks can be great in some stages. Held back by so-so type coverage that's already covered by BS+ users that need less investment and have higher AP.
Pikachu (Spooky)	20 (115)	Block Smash+	None	Great skill, but while it outdamages Zekrom, it needs a lot of investment to do so.
Xerneas	15 (115)	Quirky+	Competition special stage	A high AP support for Pixie Power teams, which don’t have many options for teammates. Has a situational skill that can function as a pseudo-Eject+ in the right situations but can also be detrimental in some cases.
Cradily	15 (105)	Eject+	None	Good type coverage, but held back by its skill being more situational than the other disruption-clearing skills.
Glaceon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	None	Good type coverage and works well with all-Ice teams. Held back by its skill being more situational than the other disruption-clearing skills.
Sylveon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	None	Works well with Pixie Power teams. Held back by its skill being more situational than the other disruption-clearing skills. Also has a weaker clone in Winking Jigglypuff
Espeon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	Main stage 441	Has a direct clone in Mew, but Eject+ Espeon can let you skill swap Mew into another skill. Works well with MMY but held back by small type coverage and its skill being more situational than the other disruption-clearing skills.
Cubone	13 (85)	Rock Break, Mega Boost+	None	Can work well with M-Camerupt and M-Garchomp, both high-tier megas. Held back by low AP and huge competition from other Ground-types. Also has a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Barboach.
Entei	15 (110)	Power of 5, Rock Break+	Competition special stage	Useful asset for all-Fire teams that need the utility, but rocks are less of a problem than blocks and barriers. Also held back by huge competition from other Fire-types.
Medicham	15 (105)	Mega Boost	Competition special stage	Can work well as a Fighting-type mega that's better against disruptions than MMX and more predictable than M-Lucario, but it has heavy competition from other more useful Fighting-types.

Pokemon	Max level (Max AP)	Skill(s)	PSB farming	Explanation
Blastoise	15 (105)	Stabilize+	None	Needs significant investment for its skill to have reliable activation rates, but even then it has to contend with Suicune and Palkia in all-Water teams and much more versatile options elsewhere. M-Blastoise is average at best.
Pikachu (Happy)	20 (115)	Power of 4+	None	Good skill, but has to compete with Emolga, Zapdos and Pikachu (Angry).
Pikachu (Smiling)	20 (115)	Flash Mob	None	Good skill, but has to compete with Emolga, Zapdos and Pikachu (Angry).
Dedenne	15 (105)	Mega Boost, Shock Attack	None	Shock Attack lasts longer than both Sleep Charm and Paralyze, which makes it a good option against Water-types. However, that is the only type Dedenne can exploit its skill, where it faces competition from Shaymin-L and Pikachu (Sleepy).
Jolteon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	Main stage 467	Poor type coverage ranks it below the other Eeveelutions. Only ranked above Leafeon because it has no clones and a PSB-farmable main stage.
Leafeon	15 (100)	Mega Boost, Eject+	None	Overlaps with Manaphy and has a clone in Winking Whimsicott. Only thing going for it is that with RMLs, it has higher AP than all of them.
Pikachu (Holiday)	20 (115)	Mega Boost+	None	Would be ranked higher if there were better Electric-type megas.
Squirtle	15 (90)	Power of 4, Mega Boost+	Main stage 402	Of the three Kanto starters, Squirtle has the most megas it can support, but it has a hard time finding room in all-Water teams. Also has a weaker but less investment-heavy clone in Clamperl.
Charmander	15 (90)	Power of 4, Mega Boost+	Main stage 406	Can work well with M-Blaziken, but has a hard time finding room in all-Fire teams. The other Fire-type megas aren't used often.
Bulbasaur	15 (90)	Power of 4, Mega Boost+	Main stage 424	Can work well with the newly buffed M-Sceptile, but has a hard time finding room in all-Grass teams. Also has a weaker clone in Budew.
Quilladin	15 (105)	Paralyze	None	Mostly outclassed by Shaymin-L, but finds use against Rock-types, which are immune to sleep. But it has to contend with Shock Attack Lapras against them.
Espurr	15 (90)	Opportunist, Sleep Charm	Main stage 418	Mostly outclassed by Mesprit, but it does have a PSB-farmable Sleep Charm. But it can only find use against Poison-types since Fighting-types are immune to sleep.
Pidgeot	15 (105)	Flap	Main stage 449	Would be ranked higher if Flap increased activation rate via skill boosting. Can work with Sky Blast teams as a disruption delayer though. Unfortunately M-Pidgeot isn't that good.
Vivillon	15 (105)	Astonish	None	Would be ranked higher if Astonish increased activation rate via skill boosting. Can work against Psychic- and Dark-types who don't have many options for disruption delaying, but it has a hard time synergizing with optimal teams for both types.
Reuniclus	15 (105)	Swat	None	Swat could be put to good use in dedicated MMY teams, but it's far too small a niche for the heavy investment, and even then it has poor activation rates.
Farfetch'd	15 (100)	Quirky+, Power of 4+	None	Could be a burst damage dealer in all-Flying teams, but it has a clone in Shaymin-S who may be 10 AP weaker but had a PSB-farmable stage.
Fearow	15 (105)	Rock Break+	None	Could be a nice utility option for all-Flying teams but is outclassed by Staraptor.
