Numerous units are available for players to gather in Pokémon Masters, just as in many other well-known mobile games right now; some are clearly superior than others. For this reason, having a Pokémon Masters tier list is really helpful. Sometimes it's hard to tell which unit is the best because of its resistance and weakness numbers; any unit might be better or worse based on the conflicts that lie ahead.
Just to give you an overview, however, before we do that: Pokémon Masters divides your sync pairings into four distinct roles: support, tech, special, and physical. Each job functions differently. Later in this tutorial, we'll go more into the specifics of how each of them operates. Naturally, we have a greater stake in the top sync couples, so that's what we'll concentrate on. These are now our favorites.
Let's get started with our Pokémon Masters tier list without further ado.

Ranking of Pokémon Masters tiers for the top tech sync couples
Tech troops are experts at punishing their targets by inflicting various status illnesses on them. They often use their synchronized skills to do more damage to enemies they have already wounded, but when used in tandem with a compatible striker, tech units may hold powerful opponents still while another takes them out of the game.
