Hello, Librarian Husky here! Congratulations! You’re the strongest. Well, thank you. I bet it’s the mustache that’s doing it. It’s the mustache, right? No, I don’t think so. Wait, is it? Ladies, gentlemen, and pals of all ages, there are many ways to approach this game, but one thing that everyone must consider at least a little is combat.

Combat and Its Challenges

As you progress through the game, you’ll face different stages of challenging combat, and there are various ways to make it easier. One of the simplest methods is using strong pals. Now, I know some people just prefer using the pals they like, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Choosing the Right Pals for Combat

That being said, some pals are simply more suited for combat than others. Today, we’re going to break down a tier list of the top 40 or so combat pals. If a pal doesn’t make the list, it’s considered significantly weaker overall.

Understanding Stat Growth and Combat Pals

Even the lowest-tier pals are typically used because players like them, not because they are strong. Many tier lists are based solely on stats, specifically the growth rates we use to differentiate species.

How Stats Impact Pal Strength

Growth rates are determined by a mathematical formula. A higher number means the pal gains more stats per level compared to one with a lower growth rate. While stats are vital, they aren’t the only factor in a pal’s strength.

Partner Skills and Usability in Combat

We’ll also look into partner skills and general usability. I’ll share my opinions on why certain pals should be used more or less, based on their combat performance.

Mountable Pals and Their Advantage

Mountable pals have a significant edge. The cooldowns for attacks while riding them are separate from the ones when you’re not. This means you can trigger powerful attacks twice in a short span by simply mounting or dismounting the pal.

Ranking Pals from Worst to Best

Now, without further delay, let’s start ranking from worst to best. But first, let’s discuss Sweepa, who takes the top spot. Statistically, Sweepa isn’t much of a combat pal, but two things set it apart from the rest.

Sweepa’s Unique Combat Advantage

Sweepa stands alone in its tier due to its combination with S. Having Anyu in the party boosts Sweepa’s attack and defense by 12%, up to 24% if fully condensed. Sweepa also gains an additional attack buff when condensed, further increasing its power.

Sweepa’s Overpowered Bug

The real reason Sweepa is unmatched is due to a bug. While riding Sweepa, if you remove S from the party, dismount, and then add it back, Sweepa retains the buff and gets another stack when you pick S up. This bug allows for infinite stacking of buffs.

Sweepa’s Infinite Potential

By repeating this process, Sweepa’s power can theoretically become infinite. This is why Sweepa dominates the tier list as the most powerful pal in the game.

Overview of the D Tier

Now, let’s drop back to the D tier. Although Sweepa deserved more attention, we’ll cover the rest of the pals briefly. Starting with Kitsun, who has a 115 attack growth rate, it’s decent but not outstanding. A 100 HP and defense growth is acceptable, but not great.

Kitsun’s Strengths and Weaknesses

When evaluating combat pals, we usually give priority to their attack stats, and while Kitsun’s numbers hold up decently, its partner skill doesn’t really provide much value in terms of combat. This lack of synergy puts Kitsun at a slight disadvantage when compared to other pals with similar stats. However, Kitsun does possess a notable ability in the form of a cooldown reset feature when mounted, which adds a level of versatility. This feature allows Kitsun to remain somewhat competitive, but when stacked against the top-tier pals, Kitsun falls a bit short of the high standards. In summary, while Kitsun remains a solid combat pal, it’s not quite strong enough to compete at the very top.

Verdes and Its Unique Advantages

Next on our list is Verdes. Statistically, Verdes shares the same 115 attack rating as Kitsun, which makes it equally strong in terms of offensive capability, but Verdes sacrifices some durability, having only 90 HP and defense. However, Verdes manages to balance its squishiness with a partner skill that offers a unique advantage: it converts the player’s damage to grass-type and increases movement speed. This is particularly useful when facing ground-type pals, where the player’s damage is boosted by 50%, providing a significant advantage. Outside of ground-type matchups, though, Verdes doesn’t have much to offer in combat, making it more of a situational pal rather than a universally strong choice.

Beacon and Its Strengths

Moving on, we have Beacon, which boasts the same 115 attack growth rate as Kitsun and Verdes but with slightly less HP at 105. However, Beacon compensates for this with an 80 defense, which helps balance out its overall durability. What truly sets Beacon apart, though, is its partner skill, which allows it to be ridden in battle. When mounted, Beacon changes the player’s damage to electric-type, giving a strong advantage over water-type enemies. Additionally, Beacon offers a 50% attack boost that can increase up to 100% if the partner skill is leveled up to rank five. This ability to deal massive damage and counter water-types effectively makes Beacon a step above the previous two pals.

Falope’s Speed and Versatility

Falope comes in with a slightly lower attack stat than Beacon, sitting at 110, but it compensates with higher health, boasting 110 HP, and decent defense at 90. Falope is also a ridable pal, and it’s known for being the fastest ground mount in the game. This speed allows Falope to execute cooldown resets efficiently, giving players a tactical advantage in battle. Its ability to dodge enemy attacks due to its speed is invaluable when used properly, and Falope’s species-specific attack packs a solid punch. However, since Falope is a neutral-type pal, it lacks super-effective moves unless it uses mismatched types, which results in a 20% damage reduction. This drawback keeps Falope from being a top-tier combat pal, but its speed and versatility make it a solid choice for many players.

Relaxaorus and Its Missile Launcher

Relaxaorus is next with balanced stats of 110 attack and 110 HP, but its defense lags slightly at 75. Despite this, Relaxaorus has a distinct edge in combat thanks to its partner skill, which makes it ridable and allows for cooldown resets, giving it a tactical advantage. Additionally, Relaxaorus has a missile launcher as part of its arsenal, which deals respectable damage even on its own. This feature provides an extra layer of combat effectiveness, making Relaxaorus a great choice for players who want a pal that can hold its own in battle and dish out some decent damage.

Rep Tyro: The Tanky Choice

Rep Tyro is another pal that deserves attention for its tank-like qualities. With 105 attack, 110 HP, and a hefty 120 defense, Rep Tyro is significantly bulkier than many other pals on this list. Its high defense makes it a solid choice for players who prefer a more defensive playstyle, as it can soak up a lot of damage in battle. However, Rep Tyro does lack a combat-oriented partner skill, which means it doesn’t deal as much raw damage as some of the other pals. Despite this shortcoming, Rep Tyro’s ability to take a beating and still stay in the fight makes it a respectable option for players who prioritize durability over sheer power.

Feris: Balanced but Unexceptional

Feris, with its 105 attack, 100 HP, and 110 defense, is a well-rounded pal, but it doesn’t truly excel in any particular area. While its partner skill does provide mount cooldown resets, Feris doesn’t bring much else to the table when it comes to combat effectiveness. It performs decently across the board, but without any standout abilities or stats, it falls into the category of balanced but unremarkable. Feris is a safe, reliable choice for players who don’t need top-tier performance but want a pal that can handle most situations reasonably well.

Univolt: Strong Against Water Types

Univolt also comes in with 105 attack, but its overall durability is lower, with only 80 HP and 105 defense. Despite these lower stats, Univolt compensates with its ridable partner skill, allowing players to reset cooldowns while mounted. Additionally, Univolt converts the player’s damage to electric-type, making it especially useful against water-type enemies. On top of that, Univolt has a hidden mechanic that grants players a 50-100% attack boost while mounted, making it far more effective in combat than its stats might suggest. This combination of abilities makes Univolt a strong contender against specific enemies, even if it lacks raw power in other areas.

Inceram: Powered-Up Skill Bonuses

Inceram comes next with 105 attack, 95 HP, and 85 defense, which puts it in the lower range of stats among this group. However, Inceram’s real strength lies in its partner skill, which powers up one of its regular attacks to deal up to three times the normal damage when fully condensed. This ability can be extremely powerful in battle, especially when you take advantage of the cooldown reset by temporarily removing and re-adding Inceram to your party. This strategic use of its partner skill makes Inceram a formidable choice, despite its lower stats.

Griz Bolt: Minigun Power

Rounding out the list is Griz Bolt, which ties for the lowest attack on this list at 100, but it has a solid 105 HP and 100 defense. Like many of the other pals in this tier, Griz Bolt is ridable and allows for cooldown resets when mounted. Griz Bolt’s real combat strength comes from its unique minigun ability, which, when fully condensed, deals decent damage and gives it an edge in prolonged battles. Although its stats aren’t the best, Griz Bolt’s abilities help it hold its own in combat situations, keeping it competitive even among higher-tier pals.

Moss Sand Deluxe: Unleashing Grenade Launcher Power

Starting with Moss Sand Deluxe, this pal brings balanced stats, boasting 100 across the board in attack, HP, and defense. One of its key advantages is being ridable, allowing for mount cooldown resets. However, the real star of its kit is the grenade launcher, available when mounted. This weapon is incredibly powerful for stunning enemies—once hit, they’re immobilized. By carefully timing your shots, you can extend the stun duration, making it especially effective in multiplayer modes where one player focuses on stunning while teammates deal continuous damage.

Ice Rep Tyro: Unbreakable Defense

Ice Rep Tyro takes the defensive qualities of the regular Rep Tyro to the next level by introducing the ice element. It also gets a substantial defense boost, with a growth rate of 130, putting it among the top defenders in the game. This increase in defense makes Ice Rep Tyro a fantastic option for players who want a pal that can withstand heavy damage, acting as a reliable tank in combat situations.

Orz Zerk: Master of Lightning

Orz Zerk, known as the Lord of Lightning, is an absolute powerhouse. Even though its partner skill doesn’t provide a direct combat benefit, and it can’t be mounted, Orz Zerk makes up for it with sheer offensive power. With a whopping 130 attack, Orz Zerk ranks third-highest in attack stats across all pals. Additionally, its 100 HP and defense make it reasonably durable, while its species-specific lightning attack packs an impressive punch, further boosting its dominance in battle.

Aagon: The Shielded Rider

Aagon brings a unique mix of offense and defense to the table. Though its partner skill doesn’t contribute directly to combat, Aagon can be ridden, which allows for cooldown resets. It has a strong attack stat of 125, slightly below Orz Zerk, but Aagon compensates with a solid 125 defense and 100 HP. Its high defense combined with its mountable nature makes Aagon a slightly more balanced choice compared to Orz Zerk, providing more longevity during extended battles.

Ragn Hawk: Fire-Powered Defense

Ragn Hawk may have only 105 attack, which might not seem particularly remarkable, but it makes up for it with its 95 HP and a notably high 120 defense. As a ridable mount, it enables cooldown resets and offers great speed and mobility in combat, allowing players to dodge incoming attacks easily. Additionally, Ragn Hawk converts the player’s element to fire while mounted, providing a significant advantage over ice and grass types. This pal also secretly boosts attack by 50% to 100%, depending on partner skill rank, making it much stronger than its base stats suggest.

Suzaku and Suzaka Aqua: Elemental Power Duo

Suzaku and Suzaka Aqua work as a powerful combo. Both have 105 attack and 105 defense, but where they shine is their HP—Suzaku has 120 HP, while Suzaka Aqua edges slightly ahead with 125 HP. Both pals are ridable, giving access to cooldown resets via their partner skills. The real strength of this duo lies in their elemental boost: they increase elemental damage by 50% at rank one and up to 100% at rank five. This boost effectively doubles their damage output while mounted, overcoming their relatively lower attack stats and making them formidable choices.

Felbat: Master of Life Steal

Felbat enters the scene with 105 attack, 100 HP, and 110 defense, making it a solid all-around pal. While it doesn’t offer mount capabilities, Felbat brings a semi-unique partner skill to the table, granting both the player and itself up to 6% life steal when fully four-star condensed. This ability, which allows Felbat and its player to recover health during combat, makes it a particularly strong choice for sustained battles. While other pals like Lavander offer a similar skill, Felbat’s superior stats and ability to take advantage of type matchups put it a step above in this niche.

Van Wor: The Ridable Juggernaut

Van Wor comes in with a massive 150 attack, placing it among the heaviest hitters on the list. Its HP and defense are solid enough to hold their own in combat, and it’s also ridable, allowing for cooldown resets while mounted. This combination of raw offensive power and the ability to reset cooldowns makes Van Wor one of the most formidable pals as we approach the upper tiers of the list. It’s a powerful option for players looking to maximize their damage output while still retaining flexibility in combat situations.

Weak Spot Bonus and Partner Skill Scaling

When riding specific pals, players gain a notable bonus to weak spot damage, which scales from 20% at lower levels to as much as 40% at partner skill level five. This can substantially boost the damage dealt, on top of the regular benefits of riding these pals. Now, let’s look at Bushie, a pal with a remarkable 125 attack stat but weaker defenses, having only 80 HP and 80 defense. This makes it a bit of a glass cannon. Bushie’s partner skill is similar to Inceram Knocked, offering a super-charged version of one of its regular moves, allowing it to deal up to triple damage when the partner skill is fully maxed out.

Bushie’s High Ranking and Skill Reset Trick

Bushie’s high attack growth makes its partner skill even more potent, placing it higher in the rankings than Inceram Knocked. What pushes it even further up the list is the trick of resetting the partner skill cooldown by temporarily removing and re-adding the pal. This allows for multiple uses of its powerful attack within a short time frame, greatly enhancing its overall combat potential and making it one of the stronger glass cannons in the game.

Yorman Tide: Durable but Vulnerable

Yorman Tide is next, with 120 attack, 130 HP, and 100 defense, giving it a tanky build compared to other pals. It can be ridden, allowing for mount cooldown resets, but it doesn’t bring any additional combat-oriented partner skills to the table. One drawback with Yorman Tide is its sheer size, even in its non-alpha form. Its bulk makes it an easier target for enemy pals, which somewhat negates its defensive advantage, as opponents can land more hits. This added vulnerability can make its durability less impactful in practice.

Elizabe and Beard Combo: Synergy Similar to Sweepa

Rounding out the B tier, we have the combo of Elizabe and Beard. Individually, Elizabe has fairly standard stats, with 105 attack, 90 HP, and 100 defense—not the most impressive on paper. However, the true value lies in the synergy between Elizabe and Beard, which mirrors the powerful interaction seen between Sweepa and Swe. This combo drastically increases the pal’s effectiveness in combat, making it a much more valuable option despite its mediocre individual stats. This boost in synergy places it in a higher tier than it would be otherwise, similar to how Sweepa dominates its rankings.

Elizabe’s Party Buff and Limitations

When surrounded by a party of its supplicants, Elizabe can provide an impressive attack and defense bonus of up to 100%. However, Elizabe’s lack of mountability means it cannot exploit the game-breaking bug that makes Sweepa so overpowered. This puts Elizabe in a strong position at the top of the B tier, but without the same potential for limitless power that Sweepa has, it remains a solid yet limited choice for high-level play.

Len and Lilene Knocked: Burst Healing Mastery

Opening up the A tier, we have Len and Lilene Knocked. Len Knocked comes equipped with 110 attack, 110 HP, and 115 defense, while regular Lilene has slightly weaker stats, with just 105 defense. While their stats may appear average, their unique partner skill gives them a clear advantage. Instead of focusing on damage, Len and Lilene Knocked offer a burst healing skill. This ability allows you to summon Lilene briefly to restore health quickly, before switching back to your primary combat pals. Unlike the passive life steal from Felbat, this burst heal is more strategic, allowing for rapid recovery during key moments in battle.

Anubis: Potent but Unreliable

Next in line is Anubis, a pal many consider for higher rankings, but I remain cautious. With 130 attack, decent HP, and 100 defense, Anubis looks great on paper. He also wields powerful species-specific attacks and changes player damage type to ground, along with providing a slight attack boost. However, his small stature, short-range abilities, and narrow hitboxes often cause him to miss critical strikes, wasting cooldowns in the process. This inconsistency in landing attacks means Anubis doesn’t perform as effectively as his stats and skills might suggest.

Pen Gullet: One Moment of Glory

Pen Gullet is straightforward in its utility. Outside of one specific ability, it’s not particularly useful for regular combat. Its niche role in battle makes it worth using in very limited scenarios but doesn’t provide enough consistent value to make it a staple in most lineups.

Pullet Rocket Launcher Tactics

Pullet’s partner skill allows it to be fired from a rocket launcher, dealing considerable damage in one strike. If you have an empty slot in your party and need an extra burst of power, including Pullet can be a good option. Although the attack is designed to kill Pullet upon impact, there’s a workaround: give Pullet the Burly Body skill, which boosts its defense and prevents it from dying after the attack. This allows you to cycle through multiple rocket launcher attacks, continuously utilizing Pullet in combat for a surprisingly effective strategy, albeit unconventional.

Van Worm Crist: Stat-Boosted Power

Van Worm Crist is the improved version of the regular Vanor, featuring enhanced stats across the board. It has 120 attack, which marks a significant upgrade, along with 90 HP and 95 defense. Like its predecessor, it remains an ice-type ridable pal, allowing for cooldown resets when mounted and granting bonus damage to weak spots. This enhanced version offers improved overall performance, making it a more reliable and powerful choice in combat.

HZR: Dark Elemental Dominance

Next up is HZR, boasting a strong 125 attack, which makes it one of the more powerful pals in terms of raw offensive capabilities. Its HP and defense sit at 100, which are less impressive, but its ridable ability enables cooldown resets. While mounted, HZR changes the player’s damage type to dark, allowing for super-effective damage against neutral-type enemies. Additionally, HZR provides a hidden player attack bonus ranging from 50% to 100%, depending on its partner skill level, making it a versatile and potent option in both offense and utility.

Gobin and Gobin Ignis: Elemental Duality

Finally, we have Gobin and its elemental variant, Gobin Ignis. These pals share similar strengths and weaknesses, offering comparable playstyles. Their elemental differences give them unique synergies with partner skills, with Gobin Ignis having a slight edge due to its fire element, which provides added versatility in combat. Both versions are solid, but Gobin Ignis stands out for its enhanced performance in certain elemental matchups, making it the preferred option for most players.

Gobin and Gobin Ignis: Premier Party Fillers

Although Gobin and Gobin Ignis may not be the top choices for active combat roles, they truly shine as top-tier party fillers. The key advantage these pals bring is their ability to grant a bonus to your player’s attack, ranging from 10% to 20% depending on the partner skill level. What makes them exceptional is that this bonus stacks, meaning you can significantly boost your player’s overall damage output by having multiple Gobin or Gobin Ignis in your party. While the pals themselves aren’t particularly powerful, they excel in setups where the player is the primary source of damage. Additionally, many other party filler pals focus on enhancing different elemental types, making them ideal for specialized builds and strategies.

Padus: A Divisive Legendary Pick

Closing out the A-tier is Padus, our first legendary pal. Padus boasts strong stats with 120 attack, 130 HP, and an impressive 145 defense, giving it the highest defense rating in the game. However, 120 attack is on the lower end for a legendary pal. Its partner skill is not combat-oriented, but it is ridable, allowing for mount cooldown resets. Despite its tanky nature, Padus falls short of reaching the S-tier due to its neutral typing. This means it can’t take advantage of super-effective damage unless using a mismatched elemental move, limiting its offensive capabilities.

Padus’s Constraints and Potential

As previously noted, using mismatched elemental moves with Padus causes it to lose the 20% same-type attack bonus, resulting in an overall 20% damage reduction. While Padus remains a formidable force compared to D, C, and even most B-tier pals, its potential is somewhat capped, preventing it from reaching the top echelon of power. Now, let’s shift our focus to the powerhouse pals of the S-tier.

Blaset: The S-Tier Titan

We begin the S-tier with Blaset. Every pal in this tier is an absolute powerhouse, with only slight differences in performance—be it small variations in stats or non-damage attributes. Any of them can easily carry you through the endgame as your primary pal. Blaset stands out with its 125 attack growth rate, 100 HP, and 120 defense, making it both strong and tanky. As a ridable pal, Blaset benefits from mount cooldown resets. More crucially, Blaset boosts damage dealt with its elemental type by 50% to 100% when ridden, effectively doubling its attack power. This makes Blaset incredibly formidable, offering massive damage potential that’s hard to rival.

Yman Tide Ignis: Dominating with Fire and Dragon Power

Following Blaset, we have Yman Tide Ignis, a pal that combines fire and dragon elements. Yman Tide Ignis boasts an impressive 130 attack, slightly edging out Blaset, along with 130 HP—one of the highest in the game—and 100 defense. Like Blaset, it is a ridable pal, enabling mount cooldown resets. It also enhances damage with its elemental type by up to 100% when mounted, similar to Blaset. However, Yman Tide Ignis has the added benefit of dragon-type moves, which offer the same-type attack bonus, making it an even more potent choice. With its superior stats and versatile moveset, Yman Tide Ignis ranks among the absolute best pals available in the game.

Shadow Beak: A Defensive Juggernaut

Up next is Shadow Beak, and this pal stands out for its remarkable balance of offense and defense. With a 120 attack growth rate, 120 HP, and an impressive 140 defense—the second-highest in the game—Shadow Beak excels at tanking damage while still packing a solid punch. Its unique attack, Divine Disaster, boasts a power rating of 160, making it one of the strongest moves available in the game. Being a ridable pal, the long cooldown of this powerful move can be reset, allowing for frequent use. Shadow Beak also amplifies its elemental damage by 50% to 100% when ridden, further enhancing its potential and making it a force to be reckoned with once fully optimized.

Necromus: Unrivaled Attack Power

Following Shadow Beak is Necromus, the second legendary pal on the list. Necromus boasts an incredible 145 attack, the highest base attack in the game, alongside 130 HP and 135 defense. Wild-caught alpha legendaries like Necromus also have significantly higher HP than their bred counterparts. With its excellent attacks, strong speed, and reliable hitboxes, Necromus consistently lands its strikes, making it a reliable damage dealer. It’s also a ridable pal, which allows for cooldown resets, and while Shadow Beak may outshine Necromus when ridden, Necromus doesn’t require specific management strategies to reach its full potential, making it powerful even in a more straightforward playstyle.

Necromus vs. Shadow Beak: Which Should You Choose?

Choosing between Necromus and Shadow Beak comes down to your preferred combat approach. Both are dark-type pals, but Necromus benefits from an HP bonus. Shadow Beak is exceptionally powerful when ridden, while Necromus thrives without the need for intricate management. Ultimately, both have their strengths, and the best choice depends on your playstyle and how much control you like to have over cooldown resets and ride-based strategies.

Jet Dragon: Speed and Adaptability

Next in line is Jet Dragon, which boasts a 140 attack growth rate, tying it for the second-highest in the game, just behind Necromus. Its 110 HP and 110 defense may seem moderate, but Jet Dragon’s true strength lies in its unparalleled speed. The same rapid movement used for flying also applies in combat, allowing players to avoid enemy attacks through pure agility. Jet Dragon is a ridable pal, enabling mount cooldown resets, and its partner skill includes a missile launcher, which delivers considerable damage as the skill levels up. This combination of speed and offensive capability makes Jet Dragon a versatile option for any situation.

Frost Dian Knocked: The Ultimate Balanced Pal

Rounding off this list is Frost Dian Knocked, a technical legendary with 140 attack, 140 HP, and 135 defense. These stats place it among the most well-rounded pals in the game, with Frost Dian Knocked ranking second in attack, third in HP, and third in defense. As a ridable pal, it benefits from mount cooldown resets and can amplify its elemental damage by up to 100% while mounted. Additionally, it transforms the player’s attack damage into dark-type damage, applying the same damage boost to the player. At partner skill level five, this synergy allows Frost Dian Knocked to offer a massive 100% damage increase for both itself and the player, solidifying its place as the most desirable pal for combat, offering unmatched versatility and power.

Dark Element Damage Boost and Multiplier

Unlike typical attack stat boosts that stack additively and suffer from diminishing returns, this specific bonus doubles damage with dark element attacks. It acts as a separate multiplier, making it extremely effective. Additionally, this pal turns the player’s damage into dark-type, making it perfect for player damage-based builds. Beyond that, it doubles its own damage, already supported by some of the best stats in the game. With cooldown resets in play, this pal is absolutely overpowered in its overall performance.

Guirat: The Berserk Gorilla

The final entry in the S tier is somewhat subjective but deserving of the spotlight—Guirat. This gorilla pal is often misunderstood. With a 95 attack growth rate and 90 HP and defense, it seems weaker compared to others on this list. It is not ridable and doesn’t benefit from mount cooldown resets. However, its partner skill sends it into a berserk rage, increasing its attack stat by up to 200% at max partner skill level. This allows Guirat to deal triple its normal damage, hitting the highest base attack stat in the game while active. Though Frost Dian Knocked may boost damage while mounted, Guirat’s berserk ability provides a more consistently active boost without needing to be mounted, making it an interesting and formidable option.

Neutral Type Pal with Buffable Attack

You can reset partner skill cooldowns by dropping the pal and picking them back up, which allows for nearly 100% uptime on the ability. The only downside is that this pal is neutral type, meaning no super effective attacks without sacrificing the same type attack bonus. However, with its massively buffable attack stat, it more than compensates for that loss, making it a solid choice in battle.

Frost Alion: The S+ Tier Champion

Finally, we arrive at the S+ tier, and it belongs to one pal alone—Frost Alion. Frost Alion is identical to its variant, Frost Alion Knocked, except for its ice typing, which makes it strong against dragon types—far more dangerous than neutral types. While it has 120 defense compared to Knocked’s 135, this is offset by being an alpha legendary. Wild-caught alpha legendaries have significantly more health compared to those bred from them, giving Frost Alion a higher potential power ceiling.

Since Frost Alion Knocked can only be obtained through breeding, it will never quite reach the stat heights of a perfect wild-caught Frost Alion with ideal passives and IVs. Though the odds of finding such a pal in the wild are exceedingly low, Frost Alion simply has a higher potential for power. It also retains all the same secondary bonuses for both itself and the player, and the ice element is generally a better option in most scenarios, solidifying its place at the top of the tier list.
