Does the Pokemon have a stat distribution that complements its movepool and typing? Pokemon whose movepool favors its typing and movepool tend to rank higher. Stats - A Pokemon's stat distribution is crucial for its success.An example of a good type is Flying due to early Flyinium Z and the high amount of Flying-weak bosses. Pokemon with better typing tend to rank higher. Typing - A Pokemon's typing can be a crucial factor that determines its performance for the game.Pokemon that come early and are easy to find and catch tend to rank higher. Availability - This is how early a Pokemon becomes available and how hard it is to encounter and catch (read: encounter and catch rate).There are 6 factors that determine a Pokemon's tier in this list: Thus, Pokemon in higher tiers, such as S and A, are considered very efficient, while ones in lower tiers, such as D and E, are not considered very efficient. A Pokemon that is efficient provides faster and easier solutions to major fights, which include Totem Pokemon, Kahunas, Guzma, Ultra Necrozma, the Elite Four, and the final fight against Hau, than ones that are considered inefficient. The main factor under which each Pokemon is tiered is called efficiency. Welcome to the Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in-game tier list! The goal of this list is to tier every Pokemon available in USUM under one of the tiers, ranging from S-tier, the highest one, and F-tier, the lowest one.
