While still requiring skilled positioning due to squishiness, Absol's increased damage output and snowball potential make it a top-tier jungler in ranked matches.

Tier: S (Previously B) - Speedster Gengar's tier rise is due to its exceptional burst damage potential and improved mobility in the current meta. The ability to quickly eliminate key targets with Hex + Sludge Bomb combo, combined with Shadow Ball + Dream Eater build's devastating single-target damage, makes it a dominant force. Its improved early game presence and the current meta favoring quick engagements allow Gengar to snowball matches effectively.

Tier: S (Previous: A) Role: Speedster Meowscarada's rise to S-tier is driven by its exceptional burst damage potential and superior mobility. The Pokemon excels at quick assassinations and secure objective steals with Night Slash+ and Flower Trick combination. Its ability to dive backline carries and escape safely makes it a constant threat throughout the match. The recent buff to basic attack scaling and reduced cooldown on Night Slash significantly improved its carry potential, making it one of the most reliable jungle picks in the current meta. Strong early game presence and consistent late-game scaling justify its S-tier position.

Tier S (Previous: A) - Attacker Talonflame's promotion to S tier is due to its exceptional map mobility, burst damage potential, and improved late-game scaling. The Pokemon excels at quick ganks and objective securing with Fly/Brave Bird + Flame Charge combination. Its ability to quickly rotate between lanes and execute back-line carries makes it a constant threat throughout the match. Recent buffs to attack damage and survivability have addressed its previous fragility issues, making it a more reliable pick in ranked matches.

Zeraora (Speedster) | Current Tier: S | Previous: B Zeraora's rise to S-tier stems from its exceptional burst damage and improved jungle clear speed. Discharge + Wild Charge combo provides reliable team fight presence and secure KOs. The recent meta shift favors quick rotations and aggressive early game, where Zeraora excels. Volt Switch offers both engage and disengage options, making it harder to counter. Particularly effective at securing objectives and punishing out-of-position carries. Strong early game presence translates into snowball potential, crucial in ranked matches.

Darkrai (Speedster) Darkrai dropped from S to A tier due to recent nerfs affecting its burst damage potential. While still a strong jungler with excellent ganking ability and nightmare-inducing sleep mechanics, it now requires more precise execution to achieve the same impact. The Pokemon remains effective at securing objectives and picking off isolated targets, but its slightly reduced damage output and increased cooldowns make it more vulnerable during team fights compared to its previous S-tier dominance. Still very viable in ranked, but requires better positioning and team coordination to maximize effectiveness.

Tier A - Dodrio (Speedster) Maintains A tier due to exceptional map mobility and burst damage potential. Tri Attack and Jump Kick combo provides reliable burst damage, while drill peck offers both escape and chase potential. Excels at quick jungle clear and surprise ganks. The Pokemon's ability to rapidly rotate between lanes and secure objectives keeps it competitive in the current meta. Strong early game presence, but requires good positioning and timing to maximize effectiveness in team fights.

Tier A (Previous: A) - Speedster Zoroark maintains its A-tier position due to its exceptional burst damage potential and unique illusion mechanics. Its ability to quickly eliminate key targets and escape makes it a strong jungler. The Pokemon excels at ambushing and creating chaos in teamfights, though it requires skilled positioning and timing due to its fragility. Best performance comes from securing early leads and snowballing advantages through aggressive ganks and objective control. Key strengths that keep it in A-tier: - High burst damage output - Strong jungle clear speed - Effective ganking potential - Deceptive illusion mechanics for outplays

Speedster Galarian Rapidash's drop from Tier A reflects its current struggles in the meta. While it maintains good mobility and burst damage potential, it's now easily countered by popular defenders and lacks the survivability needed for successful engagements. Its single-target focus and predictable attack patterns make it less effective compared to other Speedsters, especially in team fights. The rise of tanky compositions and CC-heavy Pokemon has significantly reduced its ability to secure quick kills and escape safely.
