Welcome to the Pokepath TD Tier List - Data-Driven Functionality Analysis! This guide provides comprehensive rankings of all Pokemon based on their utility abilities from the official Pokepath TD project data.
While the first article focused on raw damage output (DPS), this article evaluates Pokemon based on their utility capabilities including status effects (burn/poison), crowd control (slow/stun), healing abilities, and special support functions. This functionality analysis complements the DPS tier list to provide a complete picture of Pokemon strengths in Pokepath TD.
