I Have Played Pokemon HeartGold for 86 Hours, and This is My Official Johto Pokemon Tier List

GameRant published a Johto Pokémon tier list based on an 86-hour HeartGold playthrough.

The ranking focused on in-game usefulness and overall appeal, not competitive play.

Top-tier picks included region-carrying options like Ampharos, Mamoswine, Tyranitar, and several legendary or late-game Pokémon.

Many other Johto favorites landed in the next tier, underscoring continued fan debate over HeartGold runs and iconic species.
