Pokémon Unite Tier List - April 2026 Rankings for Attacker

No explanation available for this tier change.

Miraidon (Attacker) Miraidon dropped from S to A tier due to recent nerfs to its damage output and increased cooldowns. While still a strong ranged attacker with excellent mobility and zoning potential, it now requires more careful positioning and timing to be effective. Its Electric-type moves remain powerful for teamfights and objective control, but the reduced burst damage makes it more vulnerable to aggressive divers. Still viable in ranked matches but needs more team support to maximize impact compared to its previous dominant state.

Dragapult (Tier B) - Attacker Maintains B tier due to its mix of good damage output and mobility, but struggles with consistency. While its ghost dive mechanics provide unique engage options, it's often outclassed by other Attackers due to relatively high skill requirement and vulnerability during crucial moments. Works best in coordinated teams but can be unreliable in solo queue due to positioning-dependent damage output.

Tier A (Previous: A) - Attacker Espeon maintains its A tier position due to its excellent burst damage potential and ability to punish positioning errors. Strong lane presence with Stored Power/Psyshock combination provides reliable damage output and zoning capability. While requiring good aim and positioning, Espeon's ability to secure objectives and contribute to team fights keeps it competitive in ranked matches. Vulnerable if caught out of position, but strong when played behind frontline protection.

Tier A - Gardevoir (Attacker) Maintains A tier due to exceptional damage output and game-changing unite move. Excels at team fights with powerful AOE attacks and crowd control. While requiring careful positioning due to fragility, Gardevoir's late-game scaling and ability to control objectives make it a strong pick. Key strength lies in punishing grouped enemies and securing Rayquaza fights with Psychic/Future Sight combo.

Glaceon - Attacker Glaceon's tier increase is due to its exceptional damage output and improved lane presence. Its Icicle Spear provides consistent long-range damage while Ice Shard offers reliable burst potential. The Pokemon excels at securing objectives and team fights with its high DPS, particularly when positioned safely behind frontliners. Recent meta shifts favor ranged attackers, and Glaceon's ability to control space with freezing effects while maintaining safe distance makes it a strong pick in ranked matches. However, it still requires good positioning due to low mobility and survivability.

Tier A (Maintained A) - Pikachu (Attacker) Pikachu maintains its A-tier position due to consistent long-range burst damage and reliable crowd control abilities. Its Thunder/Thunderbolt combo provides excellent teamfight presence with the ability to zone enemies and secure objectives from safe distances. With one of the highest Special Attack stats in the game, Pikachu excels at punishing grouped enemies and controlling key areas during Regieleki and Rayquaza fights. While its lack of evolution leaves it somewhat fragile compared to other attackers, the fast-charging Unite Move and exceptional burst potential keep it competitive in ranked matches. Best suited for players who can master positioning and timing, as proper placement can result in devastating team wipes.

Tier A - Chandelure (Attacker) Remains in A tier due to exceptional burst damage potential and strong area control. Excels at teamfights with powerful AoE abilities and can effectively zone enemies. While lacking mobility, its high damage output and ability to secure objectives compensate for this weakness. Flame Burst and Fire Blast combination provides reliable damage and crowd control, making it a strong pick for coordinated team compositions.

Tier B (Previously A) - Cinderace [Attacker] Cinderace dropped to B tier due to recent nerfs affecting its damage output and survivability. While still maintaining strong kiting ability and consistent DPS, it now struggles more against meta picks with high mobility and burst damage. Requires better positioning and team protection to be effective, making it a riskier choice in ranked compared to more reliable attackers in current meta.

Delphox (Attacker) Delphox dropped to B tier due to recent meta shifts and increased mobility in the current roster. While still maintaining strong zoning potential with Fire Spin and Mystical Fire, it struggles against popular aggressive junglers and lacks reliable escape options. The Pokemon's high damage output remains solid but requires precise positioning, making it vulnerable to dive compositions. Most effective when played behind strong frontliners, but other Attackers currently offer better risk-reward ratios.

Tier A (Previously B) - Greninja (Attacker) Greninja rises to A tier due to its exceptional late-game damage output and improved mobility options. Its Surf/Water Shuriken combination provides both reliable burst damage and escape potential, while Smokescreen offers crucial invisibility for positioning. The recent meta shifts favor its hit-and-run playstyle, and its ability to secure objectives with high burst damage makes it particularly valuable in ranked matches. However, it still requires careful early game management due to its fragility before evolution.

Tier S (Previously B) - Attacker Inteleon's tier increase is due to its exceptional burst damage potential and superior positioning control. Its ability to snipe targets from safe distances while maintaining consistent DPS output makes it a dominant force in team fights. The recent buffs to its mobility and damage scaling have significantly improved its survivability and kill potential, especially in late-game scenarios. While requiring good aim and positioning due to its fragility, Inteleon's ability to secure objectives and contribute to team fights with its critical hit mechanics and camouflage system keeps it competitive in ranked matches. The combination of range, damage, and improved escape options makes Inteleon a solid pick for scaling compositions.

Tier A - Mewtwo Y (Attacker) Maintains A tier position due to exceptional burst damage potential and strong teamfight presence. Excels at ranged combat with Psystrike and Future Sight combo, providing reliable area control and objective securing capabilities. While powerful, requires good positioning and team protection to maximize effectiveness, making it slightly less consistent than S-tier attackers but still a strong pick for ranked matches.

Tier S (Maintained S) - Attacker Alolan Raichu maintains its S-tier status due to its exceptional mobility and versatile damage output that completely revolutionized the Attacker role in 2025. Its unique Surge Surfer passive allows for unprecedented positioning flexibility, enabling basic attacks while moving and providing dashes after using abilities. This mobility combined with either Stored Power's enhanced auto-attacks or Electro Ball's zone control makes it adaptable to various team compositions and playstyles. The Pokemon excels at both sustained DPS through enhanced basic attacks and burst damage through spell combinations, while its boosted attack chain lightning can devastate grouped enemies. Recent meta shifts have favored its hit-and-run capabilities, and its ability to secure objectives while maintaining safe positioning makes it invaluable in ranked matches. While requiring good positioning due to low durability, Alolan Raichu's game-changing mobility and consistent damage output solidify its position as a top-tier Attacker choice for players who can master its unique movement mechanics.

Tier B (Stable) - Sylveon remains a solid mid-tier Attacker due to its reliable damage output and versatility in teamfights. While not dominant, it excels at sustained combat with Mystical Fire or Hyper Voice builds. However, lack of mobility and vulnerability to dive compositions keeps it from higher tiers. Best performs when protected by teammates and can punish positioning errors, but struggles against meta picks with superior burst damage or engage potential.

Attacker Cramorant's demotion to Tier B reflects its reduced effectiveness in the current meta. While still capable of high burst damage with Air Slash + Dive combo, it suffers from increased vulnerability due to mobility creep and lacks reliable escape options. The bird requires precise positioning and team protection to be effective, making it a riskier pick compared to other Attackers. Still viable in coordinated teams but struggles in solo queue due to dependence on proper frontline support.

Tier B - Decidueye (Attacker) Remains in B tier due to high damage potential but significant vulnerabilities. While capable of devastating ranged attacks and strong late-game presence, Decidueye's extremely low mobility and fragility make it heavily dependent on good positioning and team protection. Requires expert spacing and map awareness to be effective, making it less reliable than higher-tier attackers in ranked matches.

Duraludon (Attacker) ↓ C → D Duraludon dropped to D tier due to its poor mobility and vulnerability in the current meta. While it has strong damage potential with Dragon Pulse and Flash Cannon, its lack of reliable escape options makes it an easy target for popular aggressive Pokemon. The long cooldowns on its moves and dependency on proper positioning make it risky in ranked matches, especially when compared to more versatile Attackers. Without dedicated team protection, Duraludon struggles to make meaningful impact in teamfights.
