Best Pokémon quarterbacks

A quarterback needs more than a high attack stat. In the All-22 scoring model, speed, special attack, health, and the ability to stay useful under pressure all matter. Start with the builder, compare candidates, and keep the rest of the formation in mind.

Use the builder as you read

Open the All-22 builder, select a slot, and compare candidates. The result is saved locally so you can test a different idea without losing your previous team.

What the quarterback job asks for

The quarterback sits at the center of the offense, so a useful pick needs more than one excellent number. Special attack carries the most weight in the role model, with special defense, speed, attack, and health also contributing. That mix rewards a Pokémon that can create a play and remain useful when the roster around it is still developing.

Creation

Special attack and attack help the quarterback contribute to the offense. Compare both instead of selecting only by the move set you remember.

Mobility

Speed gives the offense another way to respond when the formation is under pressure. It is especially useful when the rest of the roster is heavy.

Stability

Health and special defense keep the pick from becoming a one-play gamble. A stable quarterback can let you spend later picks on specialist roles.

A practical quarterback shortlist

  1. Open scouting and filter your pool to a few candidates with a clear role fit.
  2. Place the best balanced candidate, then inspect which offensive position is now hardest to fill.
  3. Try a second candidate in the same slot and compare the rest of the field, not just the quarterback line.
  4. Keep the option that makes the whole formation easier to complete.

Quarterback FAQ

Should I always choose the highest special attack?

No. The role rewards a mix of stats, and a slightly lower ceiling can be worthwhile when it adds speed, health, or a better fit for your remaining roster.

Can a quarterback move to another role?

Yes. The builder lets you test a player in another slot. The question is whether that move improves the offense more than it weakens the quarterback position.
