Pokémon who are neither efficient nor inefficient – for example, Pokémon who have an initial downside but can eventually perform as well as High tiered ones – are put in Middle tier. Very inefficient Pokémon will be put in Low tier. The goal of this in-game tier list is to recommend a select group of Pokémon for an efficient run-through of the game. Such a Pokémon doesn't exist, of course, but this means that Pokémon closer to this ideal are the best. It also learns every HM, heals itself automatically, and has some neat ability to top it off. The best Pokémon is one who is obtained at the start of the game, can OHKO enemies off the bat, and only loses 1 HP when damaged.
