How to Build a Tier List
Our Pokémon Tier List Builder lets you create custom tier lists by dragging and dropping Pokémon into six tiers: S (top), A, B, C, D, and F (bottom). Start by selecting a generation or type to populate the Pokémon pool, then drag each Pokémon into the tier you think it deserves. You can rearrange Pokémon within tiers and across tiers at any time.
Tier lists are a popular way for the Pokémon community to rank Pokémon by strength, viability, or personal preference. Common tier list topics include “Best Starters,” “Strongest Legendaries,” “Best Shiny Designs,” and “Most Annoying to Fight.” Use our builder to create your own tier list for any topic you can imagine.
Once your tier list is complete, you can export it as an image to share on social media, Reddit, Discord, or your blog. The export feature uses the HTML Canvas API to generate a PNG image of your tier list. Your tier list is saved in your browser’s local storage, so you can continue working on it later.

Tier List Strategies and Community Rankings
Pokémon tier lists are a popular way for the community to rank and discuss the relative merits of different Pokémon. Competitive players create tier lists based on viability in specific formats like OverUsed, UnderUsed, or VGC, while casual fans create tier lists based on design, nostalgia, or personal preference. Our tier list builder provides a flexible interface for creating custom tier lists with any criteria you choose. You can select from all 1,025 Pokémon in the National Pokédex, arrange them into tiers, and customize the tier names and colors to suit your needs.
When creating a competitive tier list, consider factors such as base stats, typing, abilities, movepool, and synergy with other Pokémon. A Pokémon that is excellent in one format may be mediocre in another, so it is important to specify the context of your tier list. For example, a Pokémon that is top-tier in Singles may be less effective in Doubles due to the different dynamics of the format. Similarly, a Pokémon that is excellent in Generation 8 may have lost viability in Generation 9 due to new mechanics, abilities, or Pokémon being introduced. When sharing your tier list, be sure to explain your ranking criteria and invite discussion from the community. Tier lists are a great way to start conversations about Pokémon strategy and to learn from the perspectives of other players.
Popular Tier List Categories
The Pokémon community creates tier lists for a wide variety of categories beyond just competitive viability. Some popular tier list categories include design rankings, where fans rank Pokémon based on their visual appearance and aesthetics. Nostalgia tier lists rank Pokémon based on how memorable or iconic they are, often favoring Generation 1 and 2 Pokémon that have been part of the franchise since its early days. Shiny tier lists rank Pokémon based on how appealing their shiny forms are, with some shiny forms being highly sought after for their dramatic color changes. Anime appearance tier lists rank Pokémon based on their roles and personalities in the animated series. Trading card tier lists rank Pokémon based on the value and rarity of their trading cards. Whatever your interest in Pokémon, you can create a tier list that reflects your personal rankings and share it with the community.
Our tier list builder supports all of these categories and more. You can customize the tier names, colors, and number of tiers to suit your specific ranking criteria.
