Situational

Battle roles

No ranked PvP or raid role.

Worth evolving into

Collection value

  • Can Dynamax: only copies caught in Max Battles can Dynamax, so keep at least one Max copy.
  • 1 costume/event variant: costumed copies cannot be re-obtained outside their event.
  • Shadow version exists: Shadows hit 20% harder and are worth a raid slot even with low IVs.

Tiers: S = meta-defining, A = strong, B = playable, C = niche. PvP from PvPoke overall rankings; raids from computed DPS/TDO within each attacking type; Max Battles from GO Hub tier lists.
