Obtaining all of the Pokémon takes real time, and obtaining Pokémon is not worth enough to risk your own health. As the Pokéwalker is a pedometer (which counts your real-life steps), for your health, please do not overexert yourself to obtain every single Pokémon in one go. Note about the Pokéwalker: some of the Pokémon listed below require 10,000+ Watts to unlock with the Pokéwalker. This tier list assumes that the Pokémon are obtained in-game, unless specified otherwise. Some Pokémon may be placed high on the tier, though they may only be obtainable via the Pokewalker. Some Pokémon may be placed in higher tiers due to their evolution's capabilities as well.

Team size is actually most efficient if you use only one member, but I'm assuming something more like 3 members, as otherwise you get extremely centralized lists with starters and early game Pokémon at the far top and everything else pretty much too inefficient to bother with.Īlso note when reading through this guide that some of the moves and abilities listed for a Pokémon may only be obtained by their evolutions. Just assume you want to play through in a relatively fast timeframe.

Speed runs are often ones that are segmented and recorded with luck manipulation through resets, and aim for the absolute fastest time recorded, but the real time spent on them is usually much more. Ones that are neither efficient nor inefficient, for example Pokémon that have some opportunity costs but don't end up as good as high tiered ones, will be put in the middle tier.ĭon't confuse an efficient run with a speed run. Very inefficient Pokémon will be put in the low tier.

The ones that fit most of the above requirements are placed in the high tier.

The goal of this in-game tier list is to recommend a select group of Pokémon for an efficient run through the game. Such a Pokémon doesn't exist of course, but this means that Pokémon closer to this ideal are obviously the best ones possible. The best possible Pokémon for an in-game team are the ones that are obtainable at the start of the game, can OHKO enemies easily, take little damage from nearly any attack, can learn many HMs, can heal itself, can learn useful moves upon level-up, doesn't need excessive TMs, and has a useful ability.
