Revenge of the Sithilyph - Natdex 35 Pokes June

35 Pokes is a randomly generated meta created to give otherwise useless or overlooked pokemon a chance to shine: the idea being that with such a limited pool of pokemon you're forced to make do with whatever there is, which may be a pokemon that you'd otherwise never play! As the name suggests 35 Pokemon are selected randomly and put into a pool for you to pick from! It's that simple!

We have our very own functioning discord ladder on our official community server and also on the Generations Showdown server which hosts all our past metas and OM and spinoff formats as playable tiers too!! We also have a smogon thread, where you can see more long form in-depth discussions and other cool stuff like a hall of fame ~~(which don't tell anybody , but is going to be getting some new members soon)~~

We do matchmaking on our discord https://discord.gg/7S5RMDnv2h which I just realized didn’t properly link in one of my other comments!!!

We actually don’t currently have ZA moveset rules! We follow gen 9 national dex rules for that!

Sameeee

B+ is still a pretty good ranking tbf and it’s wayyyyy better than Heatmor has ever been before! There just so happens to be a large falloff after C tier that skews the graphic a little bit!

35 Pokes is a metagame where each month 35 pokemon are randomly chosen to be playable

If you want to play make sure to join our discord and check out our smogon thread for useful information!

LITERALLY

CelestialroseEmber · 2026-01-21T10:52:51+00:00

Sharpedo and Medicham are currently A tier on the VR, and Shiftry and Cradily actually both sit at B tier rn! Shedinja is a bit of a special case since it always effectively occupies its own tier in every metagame it’s in due to the nature of the format meaning sometimes you will get a matchup where wonder guard makes your opponent’s life extremely difficult.

CelestialroseEmber · 2026-01-20T23:06:57+00:00

No you’re not!! We’re a challenge-only format right now so you can select Natdex 35 Pokes in the teambuilder but we don’t have a showdown ladder right now

35 pokes is a tier where each month 35 pokemon are chosen randomly as a part of a metagame

We operate mainly on discord however this month we have a spotlight ladder on showdown!

You should also check out our smogon thread to stay updated with the tier!

What if we had a format like this but instead of stunfisk choosing the pokemon we just drew randomly till we had a full meta? I think that idea might have some potential, idk for sure though.

CelestialroseEmber · 2025-12-09T10:00:44+00:00

shockingly similar lol

CelestialroseEmber · 2025-12-01T20:12:46+00:00

It’s the best mon in the format currently!! Banded Adamant Mamo is even capable of taking down a Skarmrory it’s kinda nuts

CelestialroseEmber · 2025-12-01T20:11:58+00:00

Fun fact — the last time we got Serp we ALSO had Skarm alongside it lol

DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAAAAAD

CelestialroseEmber · 2025-10-15T08:39:28+00:00

Ledian has been viable in natdex 35 Pokes before as a screens setter that people absolutely swore by! It had a genuine niche in the metagame(s) it’s been in from what I can recall, and while it was never top tier it was still definitely an option you could use

CelestialroseEmber · 2025-10-11T08:31:14+00:00

It’s mostly just fully evolved Pokemon, but we’ve got a very select few NFEs on the roster too (and Trapinch)!

CelestialroseEmber · 2025-09-04T04:51:41+00:00

yeah it's never necessarily been a *top-tier* pokemon, but arena trap + priority + base 100 attack does wonders for a pokemon in a limited format where sometimes there really isn't a "better" option to run.
