Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't X evolution in S-tier?

Tier rankings consider consistency, power level, and meta relevance. An evolution might be powerful in specific scenarios but not universally strong enough for S-tier.

Should I only use S-tier evolutions?

No! A-tier and even B-tier evolutions can be excellent depending on your build, playstyle, and the specific stage you're tackling. Tier lists are guidelines, not rules.

How often is the tier list updated?

We update the tier list after major patches or when the meta shifts significantly. Check the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of the page.

Are achievement evolutions worth the effort?

Yes, but only for experienced players. They require careful planning and multiple Fusion drops. Start with S-tier evolutions first to learn the game.
