Hello! This list is meant to show the viable options for common roles sought out when teambuilding in Gen 9 PU. Changes will be made as the meta develops. If you believe something should be added, it is preferred to be brought up on Discord or PMs rather than posted on this thread.
Each role is ordered alphabetically. Some sections have slashes separating viable vs. niche options. This is subjective but takes in factors such as the mon's overall viability and how good/common it is with that specific role/move. Sections without slashes means they are all equally viable options.
