Evomon Tier List – Best Starters, EVOs & Teams

Robux (Person) Destructoid

The best Evomon usually depends on individual power but also your team composition. That’s why I’ll rank them according to the individual power of all their forms as well as how well they fit into end-game teams. Here’s my Evomon tier list and best teams guide.

Best Evomons Tier List

all evomon ranked in a tier list — Image by Destructoid

Below you’ll find a list of individual ranking reasons for each Evomon. For this Evomon tier list, I’m going to be using the base form pictures for easier recognition and clarity but note that I’m ranking them based on both their base and final evolution forms. Here’s what each tier means:

S-Tier : Best late-game EVOs for Raids, World Bosses and Tower.
A-Tier : Great alternatives with some late-game gamemode fall off.
B-Tier : Either great beginner Evomons or situationally powerful depending on the team.
C-Tier : Decent early but don’t invest too much.
D-Tier : Weak Evomons both in terms of individual power and in a team.

S-Tier Evomons

Evomon	Ranking & Notes
Lavite Primary: *Fire*	• The best Fire type that’s really easy to get at the third island Lava Crag • Great combo potential and the counter is really strong • You want one in your end-game team
Wispuff Primary: *Poison*	• The best Poison type • Part of many late-game teams • Great for grinding
Bluebird Primary: *Flying*	• Bluebird into Volcrest is an amazing fill for coverage and the Bleed debuff for DPS • Easy way to grind them and the quest for them is at Raven Ridge if you go up the vines around the area to a sky spot where they spawn • Just note that you don’t have many Elemental interactions to exploit
Tarro Primary: *Grass*	• The best Grass type • One of if not the best tanks in the late-game • A must-have IMO for late game teams
Arcub Primary: *Electric*	• Great DPS and fleshes out elemental interactions for your team • Get it from the Thunder Cliffs boss
Frostlet Primary: Ice	• Really strong due to final EVO Frostseer’s Frostbite stacking damage • Great against a lot of crucial fights in the late-game • Hail is a great combo move in the right team

A-Tier Evomons

Evomon	Ranking & Notes
Datubud Primary: *Grass*	• Datubud is a great beginner Evomon • Tons of great Psychic/debuff moves • Get it on the fourth island
Chitmite Primary: Bug	• Unlike other A-Tiers Chitmite is a bit weak early which is why I put him in the A-Tier • That said, Chitaladin is a great pick for your end-game gamemode teams
Astraknight Primary: *Fighting*	• Astraknight is strong, especially if you get him early but it’s for Robux so take it with a grain of salt • I don’t think it’s a worthwhile spend for Robux but maybe you want the other goodies from the premium pass (note that you’ll farm them anyway) • If you want a free Fighting type just go for Pummpaw
Pebble Primary: Rock	• Amazing for early game and a good tank in the mid-game • But falls off in the end-game where Tarro and its EVO form become the better tank
Pummpaw Primary: *Fighting*	• The best F2P Fighting type • Pummpaw and Pummash have crazy good speed for alpha striking • Get the base from the top part of the Dusk Town map
Sparkit Primary: *Fire*	• Sparkit is a pretty great though slightly weaker Fire alternative to Lavarock • It’s also a good reason to not take the Fire starter since you can get Sparkit early on the third island • So if you want a good Fire early and are planning to go for Sparkit, take the Grass or Water starter
Glaclide Primary: *Ice*	• Quite an underrated pick since the last form has great HP and damage for mid-to-late game clears but Frostlet is a better Ice Evomon in the end

B-Tier Evomons

Evomon	Ranking & Notes
Mudbud Primary: *Ground*	• Amazing beginner Evomon • Get it together with Datubud on the fourth island for a strong addition to your early team • Falls off a bit for late-game though
Vipip Primary: *Poison*	• Decent Poison type for DPS
Fluffet Primary: Rock	• Another great early-game Evomon for grinding
Blazpup Primary: *Fire*	• The best starter if you’re not going for Sparkit • If you are going to level Sparkit then pick other starters
Spikub Primary: *Ground*	• Mudbud is a much stronger Ground type but Spikub isn’t bad early game as well
Stardrift Primary: *Grass*	• Tarro and Datubud are much better Grass types • Datubud is better early • Still, Stardrift isn’t bad for the mid-game if you like the moveset
Gulpfish Primary: *Water*	• An under-rated and the best Water option since Mirefish EVO has great stats and is good for Tower

C-Tier Evomons

Evomon	Ranking & Notes
Gempillar Primary: Bug	• Decent Evomon but it doesn’t combo that well with any team • Weaker Bug than Chitmite but much stronger than Humding
Mopebun Primary: *Normal*	• They’re okay since you get them early but they’re not worth investing and don’t have juicy elemental exploits
Bubble Primary: *Water*	• Great starter option if you’re going to level Sparkit for your fire type so you can skip Blazpup • Otherwise Blazpup is a bit better for early game Fire exploits against Grass and Bug
Humding Primary: Bug	• Gempillar is a better Bug type • Only use if you like the moveset
Clampip Primary: *Water*	• Better than people are saying but not as good as you want it to be
Starloop Primary: *Psychic*	• A decent Evomon but lowkey Datubud is a better Psychic

D-Tier Evomons

These Evomons are quite weak individually and don’t really fit into any team. I don’t recommend investing into them.

Best Starters in Evomon

The best starter in Evomon is Blazpup since it has great moves to exploit early game elemental weaknesses and some % HP Burn for later fights. However, you can also get Sparkit or Lavite really early on the third island Lava Crag which are both really strong Fire types so you don’t really need Blazpup. Just pick any of the other two starters with my preference being Water > Grass.

Best Evomon Teams

The best teams in Evomon try to cover as many elemental strengths (See below) as possible and have as few weaknesses as possible. You also want a good mix of stacking, counters, tanking and DPS. Here are some quick-builds of the best Evomon Teams for various purposes:

End-game Clears (Variant 1) :
- Tarragon (Tank)
- Lavarock (Counter)
- Chitaladin & Wisphex (DPS/Utility)
- Astraknight
End-game Clears (Variant 2) :
- Arcapex
- Tarragon (Tank)
- Lavarock (Counter)
- Wisphex & Mirefish
End-game Clears (Variant 3) :
- Arcapex
- Terragon (Tank)
- Lavarock (Counter)
- Pummash & Volcrest (Speed/Bleed)
Farming/Grinding Team
- Terragon
- Lavarock
- Frostseer
- Wisphex
- Volcrest

Evomon Elemental Interaction Guide

Now that you know the best Evomons individually and in a team, it’s important that you know all the Elemental strengths and weaknesses. While Evomons are tied to a specific element note that some Evomons have moves from other Elements. Here are all Elemental interactions in Evomon.
