This tier list will put all the best Poison-type Pokemon in Legends Z-A into one tier list so you can choose the best ones for your team.
Pokemon Legends Z-A has a number of powerful Poison-type Pokemon among its roster. While Poison-types are generally not considered that strong, they are excellent at countering Fairy-types, who are currently dominating the meta.
Poison is also a very powerful status condition, and inflicting it can have a huge effect. For these reasons, Poison-type Pokemon are very powerful in their own right. This tier list will classify every Poison-type Pokemon in order of their strength to help you make an informed decision.
Disclaimer: Pre-evolved Pokemon will be considered in the same tier as their post-evolution forms. This is because you will eventually be using their evolved forms. The exception to this would be branching evolution paths, which will be classified separately. Moreover, this will also take their Mega Evolutions into account.
All Poison Type Pokemon Tier List in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Here is the full tier list of every Poison-type in Pokemon Legends Z-A:
| Tier | Pokemon |
|---|---|
| S-Tier | Gengar, Scolipede, Venusaur, Dragalge |
| A-Tier | Beedrill, Roserade, Victreebel, Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Slowking |
| B-Tier | Garbodor, Arbok |
| C-Tier | Ariados |
The S-tier Pokemon are the strongest Poison-type Pokemon, while the C-tier Pokemon are the weakest.
S Tier
These are the best Poison-type Pokemon in Legends Z-A:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Gengar | 500 BST (Base Stat Total). Gengar has access to powerful Poison-type moves, an incredibly high Special Attack, and a Mega Evolution to boot. Everything it needs to be a top-tier Poison-type. Gengar is a very powerful Pokemon in general, and is exceptional among Poison-types. |
| Scolipede | 485 BST. Scolipede is nothing too special in its base form. But its Mega Evolution changes things a lot. It greatly boosts its Attack, has much better bulk, and loses speed, which is less important in Legends Z-A. It also has access to powerful moves like Gunk Shot, solidifying its case further. |
| Venusaur | 525 BST. Venusaur is a solid Pokemon all around, and its Mega Evolution pushes it further. It is already a Tanky Pokemon with decent offense. But with Mega Evolution, its damage becomes quite high, and its bulk becomes immense. Venusaur is one of the absolute best Poison-type Pokemon of them all. |
| Dragalge | 494 BST. Dragalge is decent normally. But with its Mega Evolution, it becomes a different beast entirely. High Special Attack and very high Special Defense make it a very effective Poison-type. |
A Tier
These Pokemon are very good at their job, but have a few minor flaws holding them back:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Beedrill | 395 BST. Beedrill is almost entirely unremarkable in its normal form. Thankfully, its Mega Evolution more than makes up for this. However, it has only one Physical Poison move on top of its low Defense, which keeps it from the highest tier. |
| Roserade | 515 BST. Roserade has a significant Special Attack stat. But, similar to Beedrill, it knows only one Special Poison move. This reduces its overall effectiveness. |
| Victreebel | 490 BST. Victreebel has almost everything it needs to be great. But having even Attack and Special Attack while all its best moves are Special is a flaw, which you will have to work around. |
| Galarian Slowbro | 490 BST. This regional variant of Slowbro has powerful Physical Poison moves and high enough Attack to make good use of them. |
| Galarian Slowking | 490 BST. Galarian Slowking is more Special focused in comparison to Slowbro. Its moveset has also adjusted accordingly, and it can definitely hold its own. |
B Tier
The following Poison Pokemon have multiple weak points, making them worse choices than other Pokemon:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Garbodor | 474 BST. Garbodor has average to below average Stats all around. As such, it can’t fully capitalize on the powerful moves it learns. |
| Arbok | 448 BST. Arbok has the same problem as Garbodor, but to an even greater extent, having even lower stats. |
C Tier
These are the weakest Poison-type Pokemon in Legends Z-A:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Ariados | 400 BST. Ariados has even worse stats than Arbok and Garbodor, and doesn’t have the best moveset either. |
Those were all the Psychic-type Pokemon tier list in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
