Whether you like to play Attacker, Speedster, All-Rounder, Defender, or Supporter, there’s something for every playstyle on this list. By adding these Pokemon to your rotation and mastering their varying playstyles, you can climb the ranks and become a champion of Aeos Island.
10Cinderace
One of the most potent Ranged Attackers, a good Cinderace can be incredibly hard for opposing Pokemon to deal with. With its high attack damage, mobility, and versatility, Cinderace is a perfect choice when your team is slow to lock in a strategy.
Matches often begin before your teammates have chosen a designated lane, Cinderace solves this problem by excelling in all areas. Whether you need to top, bottom, or center lane, Cinderace can do it all. Paired well with Muscle Band and Scope Lens, Cinderace only needs attack speed and critical hits to top the damage meters.
Snorlax is an amazingly easy-to-use Pokemon with a ton of Endurance and control on the battlefield. With a stun move available from the beginning of the game, Snorlax starts strong and only gets better with time.
Although Snorlax has trouble carrying a team to victory, as every Defender and Support Pokemon does, it can be the centerpiece of an incredible team. If you trust your teammates, equip the Exp. Share Held Item and let them defeat all the wild Pokemon. Then watch as you dominate the lanes.
Venusaur is difficult to lane against because of Overgrow and Giga Drain. Venusaur deals increased damage when it’s low on HP, while also restoring HP and reducing incoming damage. These two moves allow Venusaur to win early-game lane battles against all other Pokemon.
When combined with Petal Dance and Verdant Anger, Veusaur can increase its own movement speed and decrease enemy movement speeds. These moves all deal area-of-effect damage, including Giga Drain, making Venusaur one of the best options for big brawls and winning endgame battles.
If you’re okay with forgoing strong damage-dealing to support your team, Blissey can heal and tank for your team better than any other Pokemon. Blissey can remove all status conditions, increase ally stats, heal HP, and provide powerful shields. Basically, it’s the best Support Pokemon you can find.

If you’re the type of player that understands the greater good and plays a supporting role that allows other players to shine, Blissey is for you. While you won’t see Blissey topping any damage or elimination charts, it can absorb damage and heal wounds better than all others.
One of the peskiest Pokemon on Aeos Island, Greninja can be infuriating to play against. If you have strong mechanics and like to employ a weave in & out strategy, you should obtain Greninja. This Pokemon can Surf into battle, dealing damage while restoring HP, then create a Smokescreen to enter the shadows.
Focusing on Attack and movement speed, Greninja likes to strike like a dagger and disappear like a ghost. Its Unite Move, Waterburst Suriken, throws a projectile that deals area-of-effect damage, slows enemy movement speed, displaces opposing Pokemon, and provides Greninja with a jump to action.
Slowbro is one of the best Defender Pokemon because of its ability to stay on the battlefield with the use of its passive ability - Oblivious. Storing up lost HP rather than simply losing it, Slowbro can recover stored-up HP by hitting opposing Pokemon with its moves.
Hard to beat in the early games' laning-phase, Slowbro is best used by isolating enemies and weakening opposing teams before they have a chance to team fight. While Snorlax may be better in big battles, Slowbro wants to weaken the enemy team before they even get a chance for a fair fight.
Every team needs a strong Attacker to eliminate the opposing team. One of the strongest abilities an effective Attacker can have is immunity to hindrances, as an immobilized Attacker has its output severely limited. If your team needs a carry, select Espeon and put the team on your back.
When Espeon is affected by a hindrance, the opposing move is negated by Magic Bounce and Espeon becomes immune to further hindrances. Additionally, Magic Bounce also deals damage and decreases the movement speed of the Pokemon who cast the move on Espeon.
Speedster Pokemon use mobility and offensive moves to gank the opposing team and score goals at will. Using its 3 beaks and long legs, Dodrio is the best Speedster Pokemon to add to your Pokedex.

By focusing on farming points and running into lanes to give your team the advantage, Dodrio should constantly be on the move. Its passive move, Run Away, grants Dodrio movement speed when opposing Pokemon are nearby. Use this ability to surprise the enemy team from a bush, run them down, or escape easily if they outnumber you.
Urshifu is a Melee All-Rounder that uses martial arts to gain the upper hand in battle. At Lv. 5, Kubfu chooses between two moves to dictate its fighting style as it evolves into Urshifu. With Wicked Blow, Urshifu gains Single Strike Style, if you choose Surging Strikes you will activate Rapid Strike Style.
Your choices will affect the moves that Urshifu has as well as the overall stats that make up its Endurance, Mobility, and Support capabilities. Combined with certain Held Items, Urshifu can be a center laner, tank, or damage carry - a true All-Rounder Pokemon.
Ever since Zacian hit Aeos Island, it has been a force to be reckoned with. This Pokemon is perfect for players that want to focus solely on offense, letting the rest of the team worry about scoring goals. With Metal Claw at Lv. 5 and Agility at Lv. 7, Zacian becomes an auto-attacking speedster that’s difficult to take down.
Metal Claw reduces the opposing Pokemon’s movement speed and negates projectile attacks from Pokemon it hits, while Agility removes hindrances from Zacian and increases its movement speed. With moves that protect, buff, and debuff, it’s hard to fight against a Zacian and even harder to run away from one.
