PokéRogue Community Tier List
Which starter should you actually pick?
Players vote on all 571 PokéRogue starters in four separate lists: Classic and Endless, each with and without unlocks. Every tier on this site comes from those votes.

Classic (The standard run: 200 waves, gym leaders, the Elite Four and the champion.)
Endless (Runs that keep going, where scaling and staying alive matter more than an early spike.)
Voting
Sign in with Discord or Google, open a list and tap a Pokémon to give it a tier from D to SSS. Each account gets one vote per Pokémon in each list, and you can change it whenever you want. If you would rather go through a lot of them at once, the Quick rate button walks you through the ones you have not rated.
A Pokémon needs five votes before it lands in a tier, and the score is a weighted average, so a few votes cannot swing it. The full method is written up here.

Fusions
Kyozone
In endless once you finish your carry phase (wave 2000-3000), you need to fuse a mold breaker mon to a sturdy mon (with ground, rock or steel typing) to become your support. This is detrimental to bypassing recovery tokens as it rocks heal block, soak (so that salt cure deals extra damage), gastro acid (f- you goldhengo) and explosion (pivot move)
Corviknight with tidy up + population bomb
Caught both wild, made corviknight very strong. UNFUSE after learning moves

Beldum
Beldum
Beldum can be a very strong classic carry for Pokerogue, but it has a few key weaknesses.
Zeraora
Zeraora, a Mike Tyson level puncher.
Zeraora is an excellent carry for the whole run. It hits hard, has unmatched speed and godlike coverage. Even if its mega exists, it doesn't needs it to work well (although this is a very big boost). It needs Ice punch, if you don't have it, Zeraora isn't a viable full-run carry.
Beldum
Metagross, Snowballing Sweeper of Classics.
With full unlocks, Beldum is an excellent starter pick for Classic, from Wave 1 to 200. It operates as an immediate physical sweeper at all points in the game.
Heracross
