In Pokemon Masters EX or simply Pokemon Masters, trainers are continually faced with the daunting task of selecting the best sync pairs for their PETA-approved animal fights. As of the latest update, the game boasts over 200 collectible sync pairs, each with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Quite confusing to say the least, so weโre here to regale you with info from our Pokemon Masters tier list.
To assist trainers in making informed decisions, we present an in-depth analysis of the Pokemon Masters Tier List for April 2024. Keep in mind that all unofficial tier lists are subjective but they should give you an idea of the current meta. The operative word here is โcurrentโ as weโll be updating this Pokemon Masters tier list based on the most recent updates.
Pokemon Masters Tier List Explained
Before delving into the tier list, itโs essential to understand the criteria used for evaluation. Our Pokemon Masters tier list considers various factors such as flexibility, categories, versatility, self-sufficiency, and potential.
Flexibility encompasses a sync pairโs adaptability, regardless of ownership or ease of attainment.
The categories distinguish sync pairs into Damage Dealer, Support, and Hybrid sync pairs, each serving specific roles. Versatility assesses a sync pairโs performance across various game modes, while self-sufficiency gauges their ability to shine without relying on other sync pairs. Potential, reflected in the sync pairโs base stats, influences their overall rating.
Our ranking in descending order ranges from SS, S, A, B, C, D, and F (we skipped E because F is a more familiar grading system used in schools). Now, letโs dive into the specifics of each category.
Damage Dealer Sync Pairs Tier List
Youโll want these guys on the frontlines, serving as your bruisers. For that matter, theyโre the โcarriesโ of the team, meaning theyโll usually deal the final blow or chipping away at the opponents. As expected, the best of these Pokemon are rare. You want them to be as efficient as possible in doing one thing: dealing damage (whoโd have thought?).
