Paradox Resurrection Tier List [April 2026]

Paradox Resurrections for Hollows/Arrancar are among some of the best moveset options in the game since most of them are good. That said, some of them are movesets with simple strong moves but not a lot of combo potential so the best ones have both combos and the latter. Here’s my Paradox Hollow Resurrection tier list and guide.

Paradox Hollow/Arrancar Resurrection Tier List

All of Paradox Resurrection movesets are pretty good. Each one has either strong base moves or great combo potential. The best Resurrections just have both and synergize well with the stat moves like Panther going well with Hakuda. This list mostly focuses on PVP but most of the movesets here are great for PVE too. Let’s dive into the individual ranking reasons.

Other Paradox tier lists:

• Clans – Clan Tier List
• Soul Reaper – Shikai & Bankai Tier List
• Quincy – Schrift & Voltstanding Tier List

S-Tier Resurrection

S-Tier Resurrection

Ranking Reasons

Panther Rare

• Panther is so opressive with its Guard Breaks if you learn to combo it with Hakuda and play aggressively • Also some of the best M1s in the game • Each move is a GB and both Z and X are flexible starters and extenders with Z dealing massive damage • C is the weakest move but it’s still decent in duels and teamfights if you have some distance • Shallow Dance even disables flashsteps for 3 seconds allowing you to be extremely aggressive

A-Tier Resurrection

A-Tier Resurrection	Ranking Reasons
Gunners Legendary	• There’s so much damage potential here but it’s not as straightforward as Panther • The M1s are decent and X deals a ton of damage and GB but it has a hyper windup so it requires setup • You can set it up with Wolves or dash after the counter but it’s easy to miss/dodge against good players • Still, the wolves and counter are great utility and your M1s are some of the better ones • Overall quite strong but Panther is better
Bat Legendary	• You have a lot of strong tools like the AOE GB pull with C that’s good for setting up combos/CC and drains Rei which is OP • X is great mobility and chasedown after a combo setting you up with an M1 boost if you hit • Plus in Res form your M1s heal so it’s a lot of sustain • Z is a decent guardbreak for mixups but you need to aim it well manually • Overall Bat is a ton of strong tools that don’t create a lot of combos but are still quite strong as a moveset

B-Tier Resurrection

B-Tier Resurrection	Ranking Reasons
Divinity Legendary	• Very fun to play but slightly weaker than Bat and Gunner due to X’s windup and anti-synergy with other moves • Still, Z is really good for guardbreak, damage and chasedown • C is also amazing for combos and if X was more combo-friendly Divinity would be much higher
Heaven Common	• Heaven is another strong moveset like Bat that doesn’t necessarily have the best combos but all the moves are pretty good • Pop Z before going in and it’s both a combo tool to keep hits going and a defensive tool to stagger enemies • X is a great guardbreak move grab that can be followed up and C is just great for ranged pressure • Overall, a solid moveset and the passive for a bit of extra damage and debuff immunity is a cherry on top

Paradox Overall Tier List

You can see here how Resurrections compare to Schrifts/Volts and Shikai/Bankai in Paradox. Generally speaking Resurrections are pretty good all-around even though they lack a diversified moveset like the other options. Panthera has some of the best M1s in the game even.

Doubles battles in Pokémon Champions can be a true test to master, and more so if you’re new to the competitive scene. This is the official format of all championships, and you have to take on 2v2 battles. Naturally, you need to be far more strategic when it comes to team building.

This guide will help you figure out the very best Pokémon that you can use in the 2v2 battles.

Best Pokémon to use in Doubles battles in Champions

The table below has a list of the best Pokémon that you can use in Doubles.

Name	Type	Pros	Cons
Kingambit	Dark Steel	First, it’s available for free from several starter lineups. You can use Definat to benefit from moves that lower the opponent’s attack. Completely immune to two elements, with resistances for nine. Kowtow Cleave is a guaranteed hit, which is useful to get damage done.	Avoid matchups against Fighting as it has a 4x weakness. Low speed and Special Defense makes it a bad choice against those with high Special Attack.
Garchomp	Dragon Ground	Available for free from several starter lineups. Great stats that are perfect for a bulky attacker. Offers moves that do incredible AoE damage and hits mutiple enemies. Rough Skin is the perfect counter for Rough Skin.	Avoid matchups against Ice due to 4x weakness. Struggles against Pokémon with decent speeds.
Incineroar	Fire Dark	One of the most used Pokémon in the competitive scene, and for very good reason. Can control the match’s momentum due to bulk and speed. Has six resistances and one immunity. Trigger Intimidate to counter Physical attackers.	Needs a very good damage-dealing partner. Avoid matches with Defiant as it’s a direct counter.
Dragonite	Dragon Flying	Offered to all for free. Awesome Mega Evolution potential. Great attack and bulk in the non-mega form.	Avoid matchups against Ice due to 4x weakness. Don’t Mega Evolve if the opponent Pokémon can set the weather.
Torkoal	Fire	A very simple, but effective, Pokémon in doubles. Use Drought to set the sun, which sets it up for Eruption. Works well as a bulky support as well.	Poor matchup against Watertypoe moves. Poor against other Pokémon that can set the weather.

In Doubles, always focus on the roles of your Pokémon. You don’t need to do damage with both, but having complementary pairs will be necessary. You can also check this list to find the Pokémon that are considered universally best in the current meta.

You can also use Replica Codes to use teams created by pro players. If you’re someone who loves playing Singles, here’s our recommendation of the best choices.
