>>44294093The game's pretty balanced so there's no one agreed upon tier list, but community consensus would probably be something like
>Top: Lucario, Aegislash, Mewtwo, Decidueye, Braixen>High: Libre, Sceptile, Garchomp, Shadow Mewtwo, Chandelure>Mid: Darkrai, Weavile, Machamp, Pikachu, Scizor>Low: Gengar, Charizard, Gardevoir, Suicuine, Blaziken>Bottom: Empoleon, Croagunk, BlastoiseWith Braixen, garchomp, shadow mewtwo, chandelure, and scizor maybe being down a tier; and Libre, Weavile, Gengar and Sceptile up a tier. Gengar in particular is in a wierd spot where Japan thinks the character is great but western players not so much.
As I said, though, the game's pretty damn balanced and even low tier characters here make common top 8 placements. Only really the bottom 3 are considered unviable and even then they sometimes make good placings).
If you are curious for more, the last community voted tier list (though all the way back i 2018 right after blastoise launched) is in pic related; @YaBoyPokken has put out a lot of recent graphs on twitter based on top 8 placements, and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvnnN17CypY is a recent video somebody put out which has good breakdowns on the competitive pros and cons of each character. Also as always
discord.gg/pokken is where the english speaking community is centered around.
