Pokemon UNITE features a diverse roster of characters that perform differently based on your rank and team setup. This Pokemon Unite tier list ranks Pokemon based on their performance in high-tier solo queue, where your own skills and choices matter most. Recent balance changes have shifted the meta significantly, with some Pokemon receiving major buffs while others faced nerfs that impacted their viability.

Best Pokemon in Pokemon UNITE: S Tier Pokemon
Alcremie
Alcremie is a well-rounded Supporter that can provide strong offensive and defensive support for its team through shields, healing, and buffs. The Pokemon is built simple enough to pick up and master, making it accessible for most players. It gives teams a decent advantage during fights through its kit that covers both protection and enhancement for allies.
Alolan Raichu
Alolan Raichu is a strong, versatile, and highly-mobile Attacker. It can become an attack-damage Attacker if it learns Stored Power and Psychic, or act as a typical spell-casting Attacker if it learns Electro Ball and Thunderbolt. What sets Alolan Raichu apart from other Attackers is its high mobility from Surge Surfer, since Attackers tend to lack mobility as one of their weaknesses. Either build offers high offense output.
Blissey
Blissey offers reliable healing, shielding, buffing, and debuffing. It has established itself as the best and most reliable healer in the game. It's a great counter against burst damage Pokemon, making it a great pick in the current meta.
Ceruledge
Ceruledge is a brawler that has a few tricks to give it an edge in battle. Its Unite Move can stun multiple opponents quickly and deal tons of damage, making it extremely valuable in teamfights. However, the Pokemon does require high skill to be effective in battles.d.
Leafeon
Leafeon is one of the best Pokemon in the game right now. It is a Speedster that can traverse the map quickly thanks to its pair of dash moves and the movement speed it gets from Chlorophyll, making it a great jungler. It is extremely viable because of its high burst damage potential, which is a trademark trait for assassins. Since it's an Eeveelution, it also has great scaling.
Slowbro
Slowbro's ability to remove opponents from the fight with Telekinesis and high durability make it a great Defender to have during battle. Its tankiness, coupled with crowd control moves, allows it to disrupt enemy synergies while being able to shrug off damage using Amnesia. In terms of offense, however, Slowbro lacks a proper way to fight back and deal damage.
Zacian
Zacian is a combination of strength, durability, and speed. Ever since it's release I don't think it has ever dropped in the rank. However, its biggest drawback is the fact that it can only equip two Held items since one slot is already reserved for its item, Rusted Sword.
Buzzwole
Buzzwole is one of the best All-Rounders with disabling moves that can displace and isolate opponents. It is a bit hard to play compared to most other all-rounders, but if you can properly use his combos and especially his ultimate, you will see its potential even in solo queue.
Zoroark
Zoroark offers deadly combos with high damage moves and mobility, with its passive ability Illusion, opening new strategies for approaching fights. He is a hit-and-run kinda character, and does a lot of damage in the early game. If you want to snowball matches in solo queue, Zoroark is a great pick.
Pokemon selection in Pokemon UNITE depends heavily on rank level and team setup. High-tier solo queue needs Pokemon who can make an impact without constant support help. Empoleon, Blissey, and Zacian lead with reliable performance across different scenarios. Lower-tier picks may work sometimes, but generally perform worse compared to top choices in high-ranked matches.
