General Information

Our Pokémon Tier Lists are ordered on your monthly votes. Each month you will get a set amount of votes (varies depending on the size of the tier list). The tier list updates automatically at the end of each month at UTC 12am. The clock above will adjust to your timezone.

Rank messages will tell you how much a Pokémon/Candidate has moved up or down since the previous month. If 2 Pokémon/Candidates have the same amount of votes, then whichever was higher the previous month will be ranked higher. Your votes will reset each month automatically. If you'd like to see how many votes a particular Pokémon/Candidate received, click the orange vote icon and you'll be able to see individual votes in the popup.

Clicking any of the icons will automatically filter all tier lists to only display the selected. For example if you click the grass pokemon type icon icon, then the tier list will only display Grass Pokémon in order of highest votes. Feel free to use the search bar to quickly search for your favourite Pokémon's position!

Pokémon are creatures that live alongside humans. They have many types, personalities and live in various locations such as grassy plains, caves or the ocean. Trainers who "catch" Pokémon are called Pokémon Trainers, who seek to battle eachother in order to become the best.

The Pokémon video game series is developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. To date Pokémon games span many Nintendo platforms initially releasing on the Nintendo Gameboy on February 27, 1996 under the name Pocket Monsters Red and Green. To learn more about Pokémon, visit the Official Pokemon Site!

There are 18 Pokemon Types in total. Steel and Dark Types were introduced in Pokémon Silver and Gold (Gen 2) and Fairy Types were introduced in Pokemon X & Y (Gen 6):

Our Pokémon tier lists include Pokémon type filters. You can either click a type icon next to the Pokémon and it will show every Pokémon of that type or use the dropdown next to the searchbar to search for a specific type. You can search by region and name in the same way.
