Role Compendium​
The purpose of this section 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 PU 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. The order of roles will be organized in the following way:
  1. Utility (hazard setters and removers)
  2. Offensive roles (wallbreakers, choice item users, and setup sweepers)
  3. Defensive roles (walls)
  4. Weather (snow and sun), Electric Terrain and Trick Room
Note - Pokemon listed to the right of a | are considered niche options in that given role, or niche options in general.

re: Adriyun vs Yes or no my dude

Adriyun tried to ask Yes or no my dude about playing today, but Yes or no my dude said he had no teams. This was the first response Yes or no my dude has given to Adriyun after him asking four times throughout the week. As such, Adriyun is given an activity win.
