Lead tier list
Your Lead Pokémon is the first one you will use against your opponent. You want to make sure it has a decent amount of attack and defense power and is a balanced option against almost any Pokémon your opponent might use. However, don’t be afraid to trade it for your Switch option, especially its storage. We usually recommend reserving at least one shield for this Pokémon.
| Tier | Pokémon |
| S | Alolan Raichu, Bruxish, Gardevoir (shadow), and Victini |
| A | Galarian Rapidash, Galarian Slowbro, Medicham, and Wobbuffet |
| B | Bronzong, Claydol, Cresselia, and Malamar |
| c | Celebi, Galarian Slowking, Jirachi, and Slowbro (shadow) |
| d | Latias (shadow), Latios, Lunatone, and Solrock |
Switch to the level list
The Switch Pokémon is what you switch to when you use your Lead or Closer Pokémon, more often, it’s the Lead. You want this Pokémon to have more power than the others, with no defensive power to make sure it can do a lot of heavy damage against your opponents. Switch Pokémon may be one of your stronger options, but it’s also a good counter option for your Lead Pokémon, making sure it can protect its weaknesses. We recommend reserving at least one shield for this, sometimes two.

| c | Lunatone, Mr. Rime, Solrock, and Wobbuffet |
| d | Celebi, Claydol, Latios, and Medicham |
Closer list of levels
The Closer Pokémon on your team is the last option you want to use against your opponent. It has the highest defense power shown in your options and is the best Pokémon to use as a final protective barrier between you and your opponent. We do not recommend using any shield for this choice as it should be able to withstand most attacks.
