Resource AG Viability List

[Lana]

(art by Kaiju Bunny)
​

This is an early preliminary list of viable pokemon. For those unaware, National Dex AG was the premier AG format prior to DLC2. Post DLC2, we’ve had a bunch of new additions to Galar Dex AG, which was already a really unexplored format, and a fair amount of metagame defining pokemon usable in NatDex AG didn’t make it to Galar AG. Thus, currently the Galar AG is an entirely new metagame and it seems unreasonable to present a Viability Ranking for a meta which is vastly different from the previous AG formats (pre DLC2 Galar AG and NatDex AG). The idea of the list is to be as inclusive as possible in order to include as many of the Pokemon which may turn out to be viable as possible.

This thread will remain locked. This list might be slightly inaccurate but we plan on releasing a complete Viability Rankings around late mid-November. This post will not be updated, but feel free to temporarily discuss the new changes and additions in the Metagame Discussion thread till the time we have a Viability Ranking thread.
