Welcome to the Pokepath TD Tier List - Data-Driven Analysis! This guide provides comprehensive rankings of all Pokemon based on their combat statistics from the official Pokepath TD project data.
This analysis covers Pokemon across all tier levels (S, A, B, C) using the project's official tier classifications and stat data. For utility-focused analysis including status effects and support abilities, see our Functionality Tier List.

Format 1 (Most Pokemon):
Power: "Base: 55Scale: 4.3"
Recharge: "Base: 940Scale: -2"Format 2 (Legacy/Pikachu):
Power: "1450ms (-2ms/lvl)" (actually recharge)
