S Tier

Broken Pokemons in the Game's Current Meta
S Tier.

At the very top, we have the S tier. These are the best of the best in the Ultra League. The Pokemon stand apart from the rest and are fantastic to use in the Ultra League. No Pokemon can compete with those in the S tier regarding the metagame. 

Registeel

The legendary Steel Pokémon Registeel. Attacks from Fighting, Ground, and Fire may easily damage it. Metal Claw and Hyper Beam make up Registeel’s most decisive moveset, and its Max CP is 2,447. “A Registeel body is far more robust than any conventional metal. It seems to have a void where its body should be. Nobody knows what kind of food these Pokémon like.” Registeel’s most potent attacks against other Pokémon in Gyms are Metal Claw and Hyper Beam.

This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player engagements and offers the most overall DPS. Due to its Steel type, Registeel is vulnerable to attacks that target the Fighting, Ground, or Fire elements. Reshiram, Pheromosa, Lucario, Chandelure, and Darmanitan are the five strongest Pokémon capable of defeating Registeel. Lock-On is a considerable upgrade for Registeel, who already had the game’s most remarkable energy generation 5 EPT.

Swmapert

Swampert, having evolved from Marshtomp, is a Water and Ground-type Pokémon. A Grass attack might easily take it down. With a maximum possible combat power of 2,974, Swampert’s best techniques are Mud Shot and Hydro Cannon. “Swampert is very powerful. Its pulling force is sufficient to move a rock weighing over a tonne with no difficulty. The Pokémon’s keen eyesight allows it to see well even in the darkest waters.”

Swampert’s most potent attacks against Pokémon in Gyms are Mud Shot and Hydro Cannon. This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player engagements and offers the most overall DPS. If you’re looking for the most energy generation at the expense of low damage, Mud Shot is your best bet. This is a recommended move due to the high strength of Swampert’s charge attacks. Water and ground types like Swampert are vulnerable to Grass attacks.

Walrein

Walrein is the last form that Sealeo takes when it develops into an Ice/Water type. Its defenses crumble when hit with Fighting, Rock, Grass, or Electric attacks. Maximum CP for Walrein is 2,726, and its best moveset is Waterfall and Blizzard. “With a single stroke, Walrein’s two enormous tusks can shatter slabs of ice weighing 10 tonnes. This Pokémon is protected from the extreme cold by its thick layer of blubber.”

Walrein can best fight Pokémon in Gyms with Waterfall and Blizzard. This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player engagements and offers the most overall DPS. Although Waterfall is the better choice for dealing with consistent Water-type damage, Powder Snow is the more popular option because of its high energy output. The ability known as “Frost Breath” has been surpassed.

Trevenant

The Pokémon Trevenant develops from Phantump and shares the Ghost and Grass types with its predecessor. It is weak to attacks of the flying, ghost, fire, ice, and dark types. With a maximum possible CP of 2,559, Trevenant’s best moves are Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. “It has complete mastery of the forest and can manipulate trees at will. Those who do damage to the forest will be trapped there forever.”

When facing off against Pokémon in a Gym, Trevenant is best served by using Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player engagements and offers the most overall DPS. When comparing the two, Shadow Claw is superior because of its higher damage output, quicker energy production, and STAB advantage over Sucker Punch. Shadow Ball is a devastating attack that does double damage with STAB and sees little resistance in competitive play.

A Tier

Prominent Pokemons in the Game's Current Meta
A Tier.

This tier includes those Pokemon that are still very good, relevant, and impressive, just not entirely up to the level of Pokemon in the S tier level. Order of Merit for the Professional League’s Ultra Division. The A-tier is reserved for the most popular Pokemon in PvP and represents a cut above the average amount of devotion for a Pokemon. Due to the subjective nature of this ranking, some fans may consider some of these Pokemon to be of the S-tier.

Meganium

The Meganium is a member of the Grass kind. Flying, poison, bug, fire, and ice attacks will damage. Max CP 2,410, Meganium’s best moveset is Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant. “The aroma of a Meganium flower is known to have a calming effect. In combat, this Pokémon releases a stronger version of its relaxing aroma to demoralize its opponent.” When facing off against Pokémon in a Gym, Meganium excels with Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant.

This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player engagements and offers the most overall DPS. This is essentially all there is to Meganium’s arsenal. Compared to Razor Leaf, Vine Whip is superior since it can more efficiently generate energy using its robust charged techniques. There is no such thing as a Meganium without Frenzy Plant. This very effective and inexpensive Grass-type attack significantly contributes to Meganium’s strength so I will place it in the A tier of the Ultra League tier list.

Scrafty

From Scraggy, the Dark and Fierce Pokémon Scrafty develops. Its defenses crumble in the face of Flying, Fighting, and Fairy attacks. Max CP 2,283; Counter & Foul Play are Scrafty’s strongest movesets. “It spits at its foes as a kind of taunt. All its existence, it has remained inside a certain region.” In a Gym battle, Scrafty should prioritize using Counter and Foul Play to defeat opposing Pokémon.

These techniques have the most extraordinary combined DPS and are the best for use in PVP. It is advised to use a counter due to its extensive coverage and much higher damage output. Snarl has a faster rate of energy production but less overall strength. Foul play is the only charge move with considerable damage and STAB. Although it doesn’t cause much damage, Power-Up Punch is the most energy-efficient charge move and may be used to enhance ATK while perhaps baiting shields.

Regirock

Regirock is a legendary Rock Pokémon. It is susceptible to Fighting, Ground, Steel, Water, and Grass moves. Rock Throw and Stone Edge are Regirock’s best techniques, and together they give it 3,122 Max CP.” Regirock was shut away by humanity long ago. If this Pokémon’s body gets wounded in combat, it is believed to search out appropriate rocks to mend itself.” Regirock’s most special attacks against other Pokémon in Gyms are Rock Throw and Stone Edge.

This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player engagements and offers the most overall DPS. With Lock-On, Regirock now has the most energy generation of any Pokémon (5 EPT), a substantial upgrade. While its meager 1 DPT damage isn’t enough to “farm down” an opponent, the enormous energy gains are necessary for Regirock’s costly charge attacks. Stone Edge is the most accessible and effective alternative for everyday situations.

Cresselia

The legendary Psychic Pokémon Cresselia has a long and storied history. The Bug, Ghost, and Dark types can easily defeat it. Having a maximum of 2,857 CP, Cresselia’s best moveset combines Confusion and Future Sight. “People who clutch Cresselia’s feather as they sleep will have pleasant dreams. Some say it symbolizes the crescent moon.” Cresselia’s most extraordinary attacks against Pokémon in Gyms are Confusion and Future Sight.

Because of Psycho Cut, Cress may unleash charged attacks at a considerably quicker rate, but at the expense of being much less effective while the opponent still has shields up. Cresselia’s STAB damage is significantly increased, and its emphasis is shifted away from spamming its expensive charged attacks in favor of using Confusion. Future Sight significantly damages using STAB, but demanding 65 energy from your target is a lot.

B Tier

Balanced Pokemons in the Game's Current Meta
B Tier.

Then so on and forth, we have the B tier. Even if they aren’t as strong as A-tier Pokemon, B-tier Pokemon still have their charm. This is the “B Rank,” the middle tier in the Pokemon Go Ultra League. There are advantages to using these Pokemon but also significant cons. They seem like half-baked Pokemon since they have no compelling special moves or anything else. Soon enough, the whole image will become clear. 

Tapu Fini

The Pokémon Tapu Fini has both Water and Fairy types. Poison, Grass, and Electric attacks will do significant damage to it. Tapu Fini’s Max CP is 2,857, and its best moveset is Water Gun and Surf. Tapu Fini is a protective god, yet those who disrespect it risk catastrophic disasters. Surf and Water Gun are Tapu Fini’s most acceptable attacks against Pokémon inside Gyms. This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player combat and offers the most overall DPS.

Water Gun is a moderately quick move compared to Hidden Power, but it possesses STAB and a higher energy gain. Due to its low price and high DPE, the surf is essential. Moonblast is a tremendous secondary STAB nuke that annihilates opponent Dragon, Dark, and Water types but comes at a high price. Coverage against Grass-type Pokemon may be had with Ice Beam, although it is often surpassed by Moonblast owing to Moonblast’s higher base STAB damage.

Talonflame

Talonflame evolves from Fletchinder and is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon. It may be easily defeated by Rock, Water, and Electric attacks. With a maximum possible combat power of 2,205, Talonflame’s best set consists of Fire Spin and Brave Bird. It spreads embers from the crevices in its feathers and takes to the skies amid a fierce conflict. Talonflame should use Fire Spin and Brave Bird against Pokémon using such moves in Gym battles.

This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player combat and offers the most overall DPS. Even while Incinerate’s energy generation is better than Fire Spin’s, the move’s incredibly lengthy animation might make it tough to employ in battle. Peck and Steel Wing is not preferable due to their identical damage output and weak energy production. Brave Bird is a hazardous move to engage in owing to the self-debuff it provides.

Stamina 186

Regice

Among the legendary Pokémon, Regice is the most well-known because of its icy kind. Moves that rely on Fighting, Rock, Steel, or Fire may damage it. With a maximum possible combat power of 3,122, Regice’s best moveset consists of Lock-On and Blizzard. “The body of Regice dates back to the last ice age. The body is so frozen that not even fire will be able to thaw it.” In a Gym battle, Regice should focus on using Lock-On and Blizzard to defeat the opposing Pokémon.

This is the greatest moveset for competitive play and offers the most overall DPS of any possible combination. Thanks to the ability, lock-On is a considerable upgrade for Regice, who already has the most potent energy generation in the game (5 EPT). However, its light 1 DPT damage output is usually insufficient for farming down an opponent. Regice’s STAB attack is Blizzard, but its high SP cost makes it impractical to utilize often.

As its energy level rises dramatically thanks to Lock-On, Regice may use its powerful charged strikes to do immense damage and wipe out the enemy team without fainting. Be wary that it has just one resistance and many glaring vulnerabilities. Thus, I will place it in the B tier of the Ultra League tier list.

Stunfisk (Galarian)

Stunfisk (Galarian) is a Ground & Steel Pokémon. It is susceptible to Fighting, Ground, Fire, and Water moves. Stunfisk’s most decisive moveset is Metal Claw & Earthquake, which has a Max CP of 2,162. “Its natural habitat is the sand and muck along the beach. Then it sits and waits. Prey that touches it receives an electric shock.” Attacking Pokémon in Gyms with Stunfisk (Galarian) is best done using Metal Claw and Earthquake.

This is the greatest moveset for player-versus-player combat and offers the most overall DPS. Mud Shot is suggested for its excellent energy production, essential for Galarian Stunfisk’s pricey charge maneuvers. Coverage provided by Rock Slide is quite proper, especially as it is only a fraction of the energy to bait shields while protecting against the most prevalent types. Earthquake benefits from STAB to deliver massive damage, yet it requires a lot of energy to use.

C Tier

Notable Pokemons in the Ultra League Tier List
C Tier.

Although it is ranked lower than the B tier, the C tier is practically given the same importance. These three Pokemon are almost indistinguishable, making up a single tier. These Pokemon are among the game’s least important. Since the Pokemon featured in this tier are much weaker than those in previous tiers, I wouldn’t advocate capturing any of them if you already have Pokemon from higher tiers.

Abomasnow

The evolution of Snover into Abomasnow creates a Grass and Ice-type Pokémon. It is weak to attacks of Fire, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Rock, Bug, and Steel types. To maximize its Max CP of 2,362, Abomasnow relies on a moveset that consists of Razor Leaf and Weather Ball. “On snow-capped slopes, it leads a solitary existence. The storms it creates serve as a cover for its existence.” While battling in a Gym, Abomasnow is most effective with Razor Leaf and Weather Ball.

This is the greatest moveset for competitive play and offers the most overall DPS of any possible combination. Due to its rapid energy production, powder snow is now widely advocated. With STAB, Razor Leaf has the highest damage output but the weakest energy gains in PvP. Weather Ball is a considerable upgrade since it can now be repeated often without using too much energy while still doing much damage.

Escavalier

Escavalier is the last form of Karrablast in the Bug/Steel evolutionary chain. The Fire element may easily defeat it. Escavalier’s Max CP is 2,889, and its best moves are Bug Bite and Megahorn. “By donning a Shelmet, these Pokémon may undergo an evolutionary change. Their whole body is shielded from harm by the metal armor.” When facing off against Pokémon in a Gym, Escavalier is at its strongest when using Bug Bite or Megahorn.

This is the greatest moveset for competitive play and offers the most overall DPS of any possible combination. The counter is preferable to Bug Bite because it provides more excellent coverage, more damage, and more energy production. The least expensive way for Escavalier to wall Grass and Bug-type opponents is with Aerial Ace (45 energy), but it’s still not inexpensive.

Escavalier’s sole known vulnerability is against Fire Pokemon, but Drill Run protects you from everything else. Though its coverage may be limited, Megahorn’s damage output is significantly increased by STAB. The Bug/Steel type Escavalier is vulnerable to Fire-type attacks. To defeat Escavalier, you’ll need one of the five strongest Pokémon: Reshiram, Chandelure, Darmanitan, Volcarona, or Blaziken.

Venusaur

The Pokémon Venusaur develops from Ivysaur and specializes in Grass and Poison. Its defenses crumble in the face of Flying, Fire, Psychic, and Ice attacks. Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant are Venusaur’s best attacks, and their combined maximum CP is 2,720. “There is a big bloom on Venusaur’s back. The flower is reported to take on bright hues if it receives lots of nourishment and sunshine. The scent of the blossom has a calming effect.”

The most extraordinary moves for Venusaur are Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant while assaulting Pokémon in Gyms. When it comes to competitive play, this collection of techniques is unrivalled in terms of overall DPS and effectiveness. Venusaur prefers Vine Whip over other rapid techniques since it generates more energy and sets it up better for its devastating charge attacks. Venusaur loses several neutral matches because of its poor energy production.

Still, its razor leaf quick move is more divisive since it concentrates on inflicting damage without needing energy or being denied by shields. Venusaur’s primary selling point is its Frenzy Plant, which has an incredible 2.22 DPE at a low energy cost. If you can’t get your hands on a Frenzy Plant, Ivysaur equipped with a Power Whip is a solid alternative. This Pokemon’s STAB coverage move, Sludge Bomb, helps it out against other Grass-types.

D Tier

Flawed Pokemons in the Ultra League Tier List
D Tier.

The D-tier in Pokemon GO Ultra League is notable without being as crucial as the other tiers. It’s safe to say that these Pokemon are the least important ones. The current metagame states that D-Level Pokemon is the game’s weakest. Now that I’ve shown the very top layer, a couple of things have occurred to me.

Lickilicky

Lickilicky is a Normal-type Pokémon that develops from Lickitung. It may be easily defeated with Fighting techniques. Lickilicky’s Max CP is 2,467, and its best moves are Lick and Hyper Beam. “Its tongue is far more adept than its hands or feet in accomplishing tasks. A single little bean may be picked up expertly on its tongue.” When facing off against Pokémon in a Gym, Lick and Hyper Beam are Lickilicky’s most potent attacks.

When it comes to competitive play, this collection of techniques is unrivalled in terms of overall DPS and effectiveness. With 3 DPT and 3 EPT and a barely avoided typing, Lick is the clear winner when speed is of the essence. Lickitung has kept the raid-day staple Body Slam around because of its low energy cost, decent potency with STAB, and usefulness as a shield bait.

Steelix

Steelix, which develops from Onix, is a Steel and Ground type of Pokémon. It is weak against attacks that rely on fighting, the ground, fire, or water. Steelix’s Max CP is 2,414, and its best moves are Iron Tail and Earthquake.” Steelix burrows considerably more profound into the earth than Onix does. It is well-documented that this Pokémon excavates deep underground.”

Steelix’s most potent attacks against other Pokémon in Gyms are Iron Tail and Earthquake. When it comes to competitive play, this collection of techniques is unrivaled in terms of overall DPS and effectiveness. Earthquake’s high utility stems from its enormous reach and the ability to hit several targets simultaneously (STAB). Even though Heavy Slam has STAB, a Steel type doesn’t provide much offensive utility.

In addition to its neutral defenses and average energy gains, Dragon Tail is favored. Though its energy output is lower, Thunder Fang offers a unique coverage choice. As a Steel/Ground type, Steelix is vulnerable to moves targeting the Fighting, Ground, Fire, and Water types. By choosing fewer ATK IVs and instead using XL sweets, Steelix may get greater bulk thanks to the level 50 upgrade.
