Your Pokemon Tier List
Use S for must-have favorites, A and B for strong picks, C for mixed feelings, and D for Pokemon you would leave out.
When a Pokemon Tier List Maker Works Better Than a Ranked List
A Pokemon tier list is best when you want groups instead of a strict one-by-one order. A Top 100 ranking asks whether one Pokemon is exactly above another. A tier list asks a softer question: which Pokemon belong together? That makes it useful for favorite design rankings, replay party drafts, starter debates, shiny hunting goals, anime memories, and casual community posts where several Pokemon can share the same level.
This page is intentionally separate from the main Favorite Pokemon Picker, the Top 100 Favorite Pokemon Picker, and the Pokemon Team Picker. The main picker creates a broad type and generation chart. The Top 100 page creates one ordered list. The team picker focuses on six party slots. This tool targets a distinct search intent: create a Pokemon tier list with clear S to D rows and a fast export.
Use S tier sparingly
S tier works best for Pokemon you would defend immediately: mascots, first partners, all-time favorite designs, or Pokemon tied to a strong memory.
Keep A and B broad
A and B tiers are useful for Pokemon you like but do not need to rank precisely. This keeps the list from turning into a stressful full sorter.
Explain your rule
Before sharing, decide whether your tier list is about favorites, battle memories, design, nostalgia, shiny forms, or a mix of everything.
How to Make a Pokemon Tier List
- Pick your ranking rule first. Decide whether the tier list is about personal favorites, competitive usefulness, design taste, nostalgia, starter loyalty, or a themed challenge.
- Start with obvious S tier Pokemon. Add your strongest picks first so the list has an anchor before you compare close calls.
- Filter by generation or type. Use generation passes to avoid forgetting older games, then use type passes to catch favorites from Fire, Water, Dragon, Ghost, Fairy, Steel, and other groups.
- Move Pokemon between rows. If a tier feels crowded, lower the weaker picks or move the strongest picks up until each row has a clear meaning.
- Export a readable list. Copy or download the text result, then add one sentence explaining the rule behind the tiers.
Pokemon Tier List vs Other Pokemon Tools

|---|---|---|
| pokemon tier list | Pokemon Tier List Maker | Create grouped S, A, B, C, and D rows when exact ordering is not the goal. |
| top 100 favorite pokemon picker | Top 100 Favorite Pokemon Picker | Make one ordered ranking from #1 to #100 for a full favorite list. |

| pokemon team picker | Pokemon Team Picker | Build a six Pokemon dream party, then review the result with the weakness calculator. |
| random pokemon generator | Random Pokemon Generator | Roll a surprise Pokemon or random team instead of manually sorting choices. |
Personal Tiers vs Meta Tier Lists
Search results for Pokemon tier lists can mean very different things. Some users want a personal ranking maker. Others want a live competitive meta list for a specific game, format, patch, or fan project. This page is a maker, not a live meta database. It does not claim that one Pokemon is objectively stronger than another, and it does not track Pokemon Champions, Pokemon Unite, VGC, Smogon usage, or game-specific balance changes.
If your tier list is for a competitive discussion, write the format next to the export. For official franchise names and context, cross-check the official Pokemon Pokedex. For community tier standards or rulesets, use the relevant community or game source and treat this page as the place where you organize the final list.
Pokemon Tier List Ideas
| Tier List Idea | Recommended Rule | Useful Filters |
|---|---|---|
| Favorite Pokemon tier list | Rank by personal attachment, design, and memories. | All generations, then type passes. |
| Starter Pokemon tier list | Rank only first partners and partner starters. | Use search terms such as starter names, then compare by generation. |
| Design tier list | Ignore battle strength and focus on silhouette, color, theme, and personality. | Type filters help compare similar design identities. |
| Replay team draft | Place Pokemon by how excited you would be to use them in a new run. | Single generation, then preferred types. |
Pokemon Tier List FAQ
What does this Pokemon Tier List Maker do?
It lets you create a Pokemon tier list by placing Pokemon into S, A, B, C, and D rows. The tool is built for personal rankings, favorites, design debates, replay planning, and shareable fan lists.
Is this a competitive Pokemon tier list?
No. This page does not publish live competitive rankings or Pokemon Champions meta placements. It is a tier list creator. If you use it for a competitive format, add the format and rules in your shared text.
Can I save my Pokemon tier list?
Yes. The tier list is saved in the current browser with local storage. It does not require an account, and the saved list stays on the device and browser you used.
Can I move Pokemon between tiers?
Yes. Each tier item includes buttons for moving the Pokemon up or down between adjacent rows, plus a remove button. You can also add the same Pokemon again after removing it.
How is this different from the Top 100 Favorite Pokemon Picker?
The Top 100 page creates one strict order, such as #1 through #100. This page groups Pokemon by tier, which is better when several Pokemon feel equally strong or equally loved.
Does it include alternate forms and every Pokemon?
The tool uses the site's local Pokemon database and sprite paths. That database includes many alternate forms already used by Favorite Pokemon Picker. If a sprite file is missing, the card falls back to a blank placeholder.
Can I make a type-only or generation-only tier list?
Yes. Use the type and generation filters before adding Pokemon. For example, you can make a Gen 1 tier list, a Fire-type tier list, or a Dragon-type favorite list.
