D Tier

Occupying the bottom rung of the tier list, D Tier Pokemon struggle to find their footing in the solo competitive scene:
- Comfey
While still enjoyable for casual play, these licenses generally underperform in competitive Solo Queue matches. Comfey functions primarily as a healer. Without the support of an ally, its effectiveness is greatly diminished, making it as vulnerable as a wild Pokemon awaiting predation.
