Poke Survivor Tier List: Best Pokémon Ranked
This Poke Survivor Tier List ranks Pokémon from S to B tier using public fan wiki rankings. It is a fan opinion, not official game data, so use it to shortlist a Pokémon and then test your pick in a full run. Each tier below shows what its list measures and why a Pokémon sits where it does. For builds that fit each starter, read the Poke Survivor Builds & Starters guide.
S, A and B tiers in this Poke Survivor Tier List
The S tier comes from one fan wiki that ranks all 966 Pokémon by attack multiplier, max HP and movement speed, then averages the three ranks. The ranking is dated October 14, 2026, and the table below shows its top three tiers. Fan wikis update their numbers, so check the date on any tier list before you rely on a placement.
This ranking ignores move pools, items and co-op play. Use it to shortlist Pokémon, not to settle the choice, because a Pokémon a few places lower can still suit the way you play.
| Tier | Pokémon | What the ranking shows |
|---|---|---|
| S | Eternatus, Mewtwo, Slaking, Roaring Moon, Spectrier, Regigigas | Top of the average of attack multiplier, max HP and movement speed ranks. |
| A | Koraidon, Solgaleo, Lunala, Arceus, Garchomp, Xerneas, Yveltal, Rayquaza | Strong on the same three numbers, one step below S. |
| B | Kartana, Xurkitree, Rampardos, Blacephalon, Deoxys, Darmanitan, Nihilego, Excadrill | Solid picks that rank lower on the same three numbers. |
Best starters in this Poke Survivor Tier List
Starters get their own view because a run-based fan wiki scores early survival, attack coverage, type flexibility and upgrade scaling, not raw stats. That wiki puts Squirtle in S tier as a control and survival pick, Pikachu in A tier as a fast ranged attacker, Charmander in A to B tier as damage that needs room to move, and Bulbasaur in B tier as an area-control pick. Each starter's role is easier to see once you play a full run with it.
A stats-based wiki reads the same starters by their base numbers instead. Its top HP, Speed and Attack come from different Pokémon, so it names no single best starter. Both views fit a tier list; they just measure different things. To see how each starter fits a plan, read the Poke Survivor Builds & Starters guide.
Why every Poke Survivor tier list disagrees
Tier lists disagree because they measure different things. Stat-rank lists reward raw numbers, and run-result lists reward how well a pick survives the first minutes and scales later in the run. Move upgrades and evolutions can matter far more than a few rank places, and rarity decides how easy a Pokémon is to get in the first place. That is why one tier list can put Eternatus on top while another puts Squirtle in S tier.
The two fan wikis behind this page both explain how they rank, and that is the level of detail to look for in any ranking. One averages attack multiplier, max HP and movement speed ranks across all Pokémon. The other scores early survival, attack coverage, type flexibility and upgrade scaling. When a list shows its method, you can judge whether its placements fit the way you play. When it does not, use it only as a loose hint.
How to read any Poke Survivor tier list
Before you trust a placement, check four things. First, the criteria: a list built on stats answers a different question from one built on run results. Second, rarity: a top-tier Pokémon you cannot get yet does not help your next run. Third, the date: a tier list can go stale after each game update, so compare the date with the latest patch. Fourth, the method: if a list does not say how it ranks, treat it as an opinion and not a verdict.
Where to go next with this tier list
Use this Poke Survivor Tier List as a shortlist, then test it yourself. Open Poke Survivor on the home page, pick a starter and play one full run. If you are new to the game, read the how to play guide first, so the controls and upgrade choices make sense before you compare Pokémon. For the other games people call Pokemon Survivors, see the Pokemon Survivors guide.
Poke Survivor Tier List FAQ
Is this Poke Survivor Tier List official?
No, it is not official. This Poke Survivor Tier List summarizes public fan wiki rankings, so it is fan opinion rather than official game data. This is an unofficial fan page, and it is not made or endorsed by the game's creators or The Pokémon Company.
Who is in S tier on the Poke Survivor Tier List?
The S tier in this list, dated October 14, 2026, is Eternatus, Mewtwo, Slaking, Roaring Moon, Spectrier and Regigigas. That fan wiki averages attack multiplier, max HP and movement speed ranks across all 966 Pokémon. Other lists may disagree, so check how each one ranks before you choose.
Which starter is best on a Poke Survivor tier list?
It depends on the list. A run-based fan wiki puts Squirtle in S tier as a control and survival pick, and Pikachu in A tier as a fast ranged attacker. A stats-based wiki names no single best starter. Pick the list whose criteria match how you play.
Why do Poke Survivor tier lists disagree?
Tier lists disagree because they measure different things. Stat lists rank raw numbers, while run-result lists rank how well a pick survives early waves and scales later. Rarity and upgrades also change what you can use in a run, so one list rarely settles the choice.
How often should I check a tier list?
Check it after every game update, because stats and rankings can change with each patch. The rankings on this page are dated October 14, 2026, so treat them as a snapshot. Look at the date before you trust any placement.
Can a tier list tell me which Pokémon to pick for every run?
No. A tier list ignores move pools, items and co-op play, and a Pokémon a few places lower can still suit your playstyle better. Use the list to shortlist two or three Pokémon, then test each one in a full run.
