What are the best support sets and characters in Pokken Tournament DX?

Question

Okay so I’ve been looking online for this but all I’ve found are tier lists which I find boring and usually they don’t give much information on why they are good/bad.

For this I’m going to expand past the title of this question and ask for all of the characters ranked with explanations for each one, same for the support sets (or do the support Pokemon separately since different Pokemon in sets could have varying viability).

On top of that, what are the the best support + character combos and what are the best teams for team battles?

Sorry that this is asking for so much lol but thank you if you answer this <3

If you already found a bunch of tier lists, maybe try asking the people who made the tier lists?

I agree with sumwun, this is another spin off game question that is definitely allowed but will probably not be answered for a while.

---

Why was this downvoted? I think it’s a perfectly acceptable question

---

lol i have no idea why this is downvoted but

@sumwun i dont know how you expect me to contact writers and random websites that wrote an article 4 years ago

@Gmax Waluigi your point?

If you look at the unanswered list, (or looked at it before a group of us attempted to clean it,) probably about 50% of the unanswered questions corresponded to spin off games. It's clear that most of the people who are in this community don't play or don't know much about spin off games. All I'm saying is that this question probably won't be answered for a while, especially because of it's extensive specificness. It's definitely allowed, but because of the hundreds if not thousands of possibilities of characters and support sets, plus the fact that this game is mostly based on skill, even if you do get an answer it won't be as specific and correct as this question needs, as your basically asking for a full tier list for a game with a small amount of people who still play the game.

I honestly don’t care though lol. When I asked this question I anticipated that it might take a while to be answered but I don’t really see a problem with it.

Anyway I’m not here for the most accurate answer I’m here for a well thought out answer that makes sense considering that this will be slightly opinionated (if someone goes off of their personal experience everyone plays a character differently, for example Braixen is arguably the best character in the game but I’m terrible at playing it). So I’m not that worried about that part.

If it goes unanswered that would obviously suck but it wouldn’t be shocking. Heck, maybe I’ll have to answer it myself. But I just asked this question for a bit of help and I understand that people might not have the resources or knowledge to give me the help I asked for.

You found multiple websites that publish tier lists, right? Do none of those websites have some kind of forum?

---

Ok, that's fine just letting you know

---

https://rankedboost.com/pokken-tournament-tier-list/ does this website help yoi

Sorry the the late reply! See: first sentence of this question (I was referring to that one in particular).

Answer 1

Whew. This is an extremely late answer...

But you said you were prepared for a slightly opinionated answer, so get ready.

-SHADOW MEWTWO-

Shadow Mewtwo is honestly broken. I know you're probably thinking... "Tyo, S-Mewtwo is frail as heck, he only has 480 HP!

Is that so?
Have you forgotten he can restore his own HP?

Recovery

That's right. Not only are his moves wide-ranged, very powerful, and offer him essential immunity to grabs, he can compensate for his HP drawbacks by using recover right in your face. Just hold and release A.

Then, we move on to...

Overpowered Synergy

Did you know that Synergy Bursts are number based? This controls how fast the S-Gauge fills up. Most have a Gauge size of 150-200cc. (CC is the unit system for the Gauge.) S-Mewtwo has a Guage Size of 100cc. Do the math.

And don't forget the incredible power + range of his burst.

Good supports

A (bit more than a) few good supports to team up with...

• Croagunk + Sylveon. It's best to use Croagunk to guard yourself when you want to recover.

• Magikarp + Pachirisu. Same reason as Croagunk. You could also start a combo when Magikarp lands...

• Dragonite + Victini. Victini is OP, offering All crits. Just be aware of the long charge time.

• Cubone + Diglett. Both of them can use an attack that will guarantee your burst connects.

• Frogadier + Eevee. Use Eevee and your attacks are officially even more broken.

• Whimsicott + Jirachi. Whimsicott is a good choice, you can heal and be invincible at long range.

• Umbreon + Espeon. Espeon is another support to help sustain you + remove negative status.

Phew... I'm tired. I'm sorry that you weren't able to get an answer for so long. But if you see this, thanks for reading. I hope this answer proves useful to you. And maybe others as well.

Also, I'm unable to provide good teams for team battles. After all, they're just 3 1v1s. Sorry about that...
