This is the main hub for Pokémon ROM hack tier lists on RomHaven. If you want to see the best Pokémon, strongest team options, most reliable run picks, elite sweepers, bulky walls, role-compression monsters, and generally which choices offer the most value in a full playthrough, this is where those ranking pages live.
Not every hack rewards the same things. Some games favour raw power. Some reward structure, matchup planning, boss prep, or adaptation across a long run. That is why these pages go beyond surface-level rankings and focus on what actually performs well inside each game. Use this hub to jump into the right tier list fast, compare different hacks, and keep checking back as more ranking pages are added.
Three live ranking pages are already part of the hub, each focused on a different kind of Pokémon ROM hack experience.
A run-focused tier list built around consistency, bulk, setup potential and who actually wins runs.
Emerald Rogue is not a normal campaign hack, so this page leans into what matters in a roguelike format: surviving bad positions, stabilising risky runs, finding setup windows and building squads that keep working across changing routes and resources.
A harder, boss-focused ranking page for one of the most demanding and most popular FireRed hacks ever made.
Radical Red rewards adaptation, coverage, smart pivots and proper prep. This tier list is built around consistency across a brutal run, not just flashy stats or one-off highlights.
A long-form ranking page for one of the biggest and most polished ROM hack adventures on GBA.
Unbound has scale, missions, harder fights and loads of content, so the best choices are the Pokémon that stay reliable over time, fit real teams, and help across multiple difficult battles.
A good ranking page is more than a pile of strong names. The better tier lists explain why certain Pokémon keep showing up as elite choices and why others, while still useful, need more support. The strongest pages usually account for things like role compression, speed control, defensive value, setup potential, typing, matchup spread, and how well a Pokémon fits into a real team.
Start with the hack you are currently playing, open its tier list, and use that page alongside the related guide when possible. Tier lists help you identify strong options. Guides help you understand progression, structure, bosses, mechanics, and how to get more from the game overall.
This tier list hub will keep expanding, so keep checking back for new ranking pages, updated coverage, and more game-specific breakdowns.
More full ranking pages are planned for other major Pokémon ROM hacks, with the same long-form approach used on the current live pages.
Expect more focused content too, including stronger role-based rankings, standout team cores, and pages that dig deeper into what actually wins runs.
This page is not static. It will be constantly expanding as RomHaven adds more guides, tier lists, and deeper support pages for the biggest hacks in the library.
Quick answers about what this page covers and how to get the most from it.
No. They help new players and experienced players alike. Beginners can use them to avoid weak choices or confusing team decisions, while more experienced players can use them to compare consistency, roles and matchup value.
No. Tier lists are guides, not rules. A lower-ranked Pokémon can still be great in the right team, matchup, or playstyle. The point is to highlight what tends to offer the most value over a full run.
Yes. This hub is designed to grow over time. More ranking pages, future updates, and additional RomHaven support content are planned, so keep checking back for new and upcoming tier lists.
Use both together when you can. The tier list helps with which Pokémon are strongest overall, while the guide helps with progression, preparation, mechanics, team balance and what the hack is actually asking you to do.
