Viability Rankings

Overview

Welcome to the PokeClash Modified National Dex Viability Rankings page. In this page, a combination of community-input and staff-input will be collated to decide the viability rankings of both original series Pokemon and server Fakemon in the format.

Ranks

Pokemon will be ranked in descending order; there is no divide in viability inbetween ranks. There is no differentiation in offensive and defensive Pokemon. Toxapex may be A+ for its defensive utility, while Hydreigon may be A+ for its capabilities as a wallbreaker.

Cost Divisions

Due to the accessibility to certain Pokemon, Pokemon have also been divided into two divisions (Expensive and Budget) based on their several factors including spawn rarity, breeding difficulty (or lack of breedability), pokebuilder restrictions, and special category status (such as legendary or paradox). These divisions are:
