Kanto Tactics comps for early v35

Snapshot generated October 24, 2026 at 03:32 UTC. The feed covers October 17–23 and mixes versions; this page includes only records explicitly marked as ruleset 35. Those current-version records cover October 23 only, with 9,866 ranked seat records in the version summary. This is an early one-day sample, not a settled meta or a live dashboard. Composition and unit sample counts are their own observations; the feed’s 125,643 all-version seats are not all v35 records. Ranked results do not establish performance in Adventures or the Tower.

Core route	Display tier	Avg. place	Sample
Flying upgrades	S	3.47	354
Ground upgrades	A	3.47	234
Water / Fighting upgrades	B	4.08	208
Poison upgrades	C	5.06	254

Tiers use the same adjusted-placement formula as the tier list, with reference 4.01. There are only four current-version comp rows; absence from this table does not establish that another team is weak.

The core record groups the Caterpie, Charmander, Pidgey and Zubat families. Its common observed core star level is three. Pidgey frequently holds Scope Lens and Choice Band; Caterpie commonly holds Leftovers and Protector. Charmander’s recorded items include Quick Claw and Choice Specs. Read its current ability form before moving those items.

Version 35 replaces Flying’s dodge effect with Raptor attack speed and lowest-HP targeting; melee recipients can dive next to that target. Re-evaluate the board’s exposure rather than following an older dodge-based formation. The recorded completed teams do not tell you exactly when to level or reroll.

The core record groups Diglett, Geodude, Nidoran and Sandshrew. The record commonly shows three stars for Diglett, Geodude and Nidoran, with two for Sandshrew. Diglett’s frequent items include Scope Lens, Choice Band and Choice Scarf. Geodude commonly holds Leftovers, Rocky Helmet or Protector. Nidoqueen appears as a supporting option; she is a separate cost-4 addition.

Ground’s Sandstorm now reduces enemy Defense and Sp. Def and chips HP, except for Rock and Ground. It no longer supplies the old damage-reduction effect. Keep an actual defensive holder rather than assuming the trait makes every recipient a tank.

This record groups Machop, Magikarp, Poliwag and Squirtle, with Psyduck, Seel and Slowpoke among supporting families. Magikarp frequently holds Scope Lens, Life Orb or Choice Band; Squirtle’s observed items include Choice Specs, Quick Claw and Choice Scarf. These are role-specific observations, not a command to put every listed item on the same unit.

Version 35 sets Water’s breakpoints to 3, 6 and 8. Mew can adopt the team’s main trait at combat start, excluding Ghost and Dragon, so read the active combat trait instead of counting it as permanently Psychic.

The fourth current-version record groups Bulbasaur, Gastly, Nidoran and Oddish. Its 5.06 average placement and C display tier make it a comparison case, not a recommendation to force the team. Victreebel and Venomoth appear among supporting units in the record.

Bulbasaur’s frequent items include Leftovers, Shell Bell and Rocky Helmet. Poison has 2/4/6 breakpoints in v35. Check whether an offered unit completes a tier or a merge before changing an already upgraded frontline.

Check the build decision guide before spending. Version 35 raises high-level XP requirements: level 6→7 needs 24 XP, 7→8 needs 40 and 8→9 needs 66. A final board does not guarantee you can afford to reach it from the current round.

Use the item recipes for combinations and the tips checklist for the next planning phase. Choose a Seal your current board can activate within its 15-second offer; keep a viable team while searching for an upgrade.
