Best Kanto Tactics PvP builds
These cores are from the official ranked feed generated 2026-10-23T03:31:55Z. The window is seven days of ranked games. A core is listed only when the sample is at least 300. Average place is lower-is-better.
This is Einoow's Kanto Tactics autobattler, not a main-series Generation 1 Pokémon ranking. Distinguish the similarly named games.
Source review: official Einoow landing page, v35 changelog, and public client modules checked on 2026-10-24; gameplay claims are limited to those sources.
Cores with n ≥ 300
| Core | Avg place | Top 4 | Win | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Articuno, Mew, Mewtwo, Zapdos | 1.86 | 90.6% | 64.9% | 593 |
| Aerodactyl, Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos | 2.21 | 87.9% | 48.3% | 505 |
| Lapras, Mew, Mewtwo, Shellder | 2.25 | 87.2% | 49.0% | 794 |
The feed is not split by rank, so a Diamond lobby and an Iron lobby are mixed. v34 lowered damage on Starmie, Zapdos, and Magneton, and raised Kadabra, Alakazam, and Tauros. A core that includes Zapdos is still the sample leader after that change, inside this seven-day window.
Items those units held
| Unit | Most common held items |
|---|---|
| Mewtwo | Choice Specs 45.9%, Quick Claw 44.0%, Choice Scarf 19.1% |
| Staryu | Choice Band 23.7%, Choice Scarf 16.2%, Scope Lens 13.4% |
| Slowpoke | Leftovers 36.7%, Rocky Helmet 21.9%, Sitrus Berry 21.0% |
v34 set Choice Specs to +50% Sp. Atk, Rocky Helmet to 22% reflect, and Sitrus Berry to a 20% heal. Life Orb no longer costs HP. Seals at 2-1, 3-2, and 4-2 can change which of these items you want. See Seals.
FAQ
Is there one best team?
No. The best-sampled core averages 1.86 with 593 games. That is a four-unit core, not a full board.
Should Starmie still hold three Focus Sashes?
That loadout is a v32 PvE sim. In the v34 ranked feed, Staryu’s common items are Choice Band, Choice Scarf, and Scope Lens.
