Pokémon Champions & VGC Tier list
Competitive tier ranks by the lower bound of the 90% Wilson confidence interval on match win rate, from tournaments with at least 16 players. Win rate is the tournament match record of every team carrying the Pokémon — not 1v1 isolation against other Pokémon — so a 53% line still beats half its opponents on average. Only Pokémon present on at least 6% of tournament teams qualify, and tiers are cut by standard deviation from the mean — rewarding Pokémon that are both good and reliably good.
Finishers counts matches from players who played the whole event. Dropouts (players who quit mid-tournament) are almost always losing-in-progress, so excluding them gives a cleaner read on how the Pokémon performs in competitive conditions.
