The purpose of this thread is to provide a visual list organized by roles to see what Pokémon do what. This will help new and experienced players alike in finding Pokémon that fit their teams when looking for specific roles. Each Pokemon that is here is viable in the LC metagame, and as such, it will change as the viability rankings get updated. If you feel there is a Pokemon viable for the roles mentioned below and it hasn't been added to the group, then recommend it in your post with solid explanations. Niche Pokemon that are B- or less, considered a niche option in that given role or the role as a whole is considered niche, will be separated by |.
The order of roles will be organized in the following way:
- Utility
- Offensive roles
- Defensive roles
