ADV DOU Role Compendium
The purpose of this resource is to provide a quick visual list to help you find the right Pokemon for your team's needs.

Established pokemon in the tier are listed first; after them, in ( parentheses ), are less viable pokemon who also fit the requirements, or pokemon that may technically fit the role but traditionally aren't employed in that way. (The list is still not fully comprehensive, and heavily arbitrary - feel free to suggest changes.)
