The tier list and recommended moveset for each Pokémon. Theoretical rankings (battle-sim based) are shown alongside real encounter pick rates, so you can see what's strong and what you'll actually face at a glance.
Tier = relative rating within the league (S is top). Pick rates are from the last 30 days. See encounter meta →
This Ultra League tier list has 14 S-tier and 55 A-tier Pokémon. Tinkaton, rated highly on paper, rarely shows up in real play — a high tier doesn't guarantee real-world adoption.
