Pokemon Champions Tier List (Doubles & Singles)
This Pokemon Champions tier list ranks the Pokemon shaping the current Reg M-B meta. It is built from MetaDex tournament data: playrate, top-cut conversion, recorded win rate, event wins, podium finishes, and best placing.
Use it as a team-building shortcut, not a final answer. S-tier Pokemon demand a plan in almost every draft of a team, while A-tier and B-tier Pokemon can still be the right call when they patch a weakness, unlock a speed plan, or pair cleanly with your core. Singles data will slot into this page once a reliable Champions Singles source exists.

How to use this tier list
Start by checking the S-tier and A-tier Pokemon against your team. If several of them threaten the same slot, outspeed your whole roster, or resist your main attacks, fix that before polishing smaller details. Then use MetaDex details to see partners, common items, and tournament teams that prove how the Pokemon is being used.
A lower-tier Pokemon is not automatically wrong. The best Champions teams often use one specialized pick to patch a matchup, enable a Mega, or punish a common speed plan. The Team Builder, Weakness Checker, and Speed Tiers tools exist to test that fit instead of copying the tier list blindly.

Create a Tier ListFrequently asked questions
How is the Pokemon Champions tier list ranked?
The list starts from current MetaDex tournament playrate, then uses top-cut conversion, event wins, podiums, best placing, and recorded win rate as supporting signals. It is a live meta view, not a permanent power ranking.
Is this tier list for Singles or Doubles?
The current Pokemon Champions tournament data is Doubles-focused. Singles support can use the same page structure once reliable Singles tournament or ranked data is available.
Why does a Pokemon with a high win rate rank below another one?
Small samples can produce noisy win rates. A Pokemon that wins a lot across many teams is more reliable tier-list evidence than a Pokemon with one excellent run and very few appearances.
