Batomon Showdown Tier List (Patch 1.5.1) — Pantra & Jinto Rankings

Which Batomon are strongest after patch 1.5.0?

Boomagon is the only monster the patch notes single out — “still the most popular pick in the game” — even as they nerf it, and no pass from 1.2.0 through 1.5.0 has touched it since. The passes after 1.1.0: 1.2.0 (September 30) cut fourteen more Jinto engines after the region’s median DPS stayed around 1.5x Pantra’s at day 10+, reverted its own first-pass cuts on Cinnabark and Drumire, and buffed three Pantra picks. 1.3.0 (October 6) then handed Opalion and Petrirex their cooldowns back, priced up Aviarab multicast and added a Master-rank leaderboard. Patch 1.5.0 (November 6, 2026) is the fourth pass — logged as a snapshot below, with no row re-graded against it yet. Community consensus adds poison, shield and flying triggers on top.

How the tiers on this page are decided

The signals follow their source, in order of weight: what the developer wrote in patch notes first, then what several independent community threads agree on, then single-thread impressions. The board also follows the game’s own structure — patch 1.1.0 files Jinto Batomon, Pantra Batomon, Event Batomon and Cross-Region Batomon as separate pools, and players rank them separately too: the community’s trainer tier list thread treats merged, region-blind lists as distorted. Each pool gets its own table, and the trainer tier list ranks the trainer half of the same decision.

Type signals the community agrees on

Before the monster names: the game’s most-commented balance thread (32 comments) repeats one piece of advice — keyword synergy beats stacking a single type — and flags flying, whose monsters trigger effects across multiple hits, as the most important type, while bug is described as falling off late in a run. That is one thread’s consensus rather than a developer rule, but it is why the tables below rank engines and triggers instead of type labels.

Patch 1.2.0 (September 30): the second Jinto pass — and the first reverts

One week after 1.1.0, the developer ran a second balance pass and opened with the numbers: “After last patch’s Jinto nerfs, Jinto teams’ median DPS is still around 1.5x higher than Pantra teams at day 10+.” Fourteen more Jinto Batomon got cut, three underperforming Pantra picks got buffed — and two of 1.1.0’s own cuts were rolled back, the game’s first reverts:

Three 1.2.0 moves matter most for team-building:

• The Petrirex cut converts the strongest stall engine’s payout to Shield-only — its per-knockout Damage is gone, and its Cooldown stretched from 5.5 to 7. Jinto stall lines need a new anchor.
• The community’s one-shot line took a direct hit. Two of the unverified Opalion + Cairnage + Talonite line’s three pieces were cut the same day — Opalion’s Cooldown up, Cairnage’s conversion multiplier down 20% (the line’s own page keeps the unverified label).
• Smuggler arrived. The new trainer “brings Batomon from the other regions into your shop” — the first official bridge between the region pools this site ranks separately; the trainer side is tracked on the trainer tier list.

Also in 1.2.0, outside the monster tables: trainer buffs for Chemist (Toxic starting Poison +1 → +3) and Redhead (Burn per win +2 → +3), a Gamer QoL that reveals your day-9 Mythical from run start, the Zenith Stone trinket no longer boosting % bonuses, Crimson Ticket 50 → 30, and two event changes — the traveling merchant can now offer Cordycant and Sproach, and Dragon Egg can hatch Ouroblaze, Tsunamere and Stellagon.

These rows stand as the patch’s own record; folding them into the four tier tables below is the next refresh’s job.

Patch 1.3.0 (October 6): the cooldown reverts — and the first named-synergy nerf

Six days after 1.2.0, the third balance pass partly unwound its own predecessor and, for the first time, named a community synergy as a nerf target. There are no trainer balance entries and no new trainer — the patch’s one new feature is competitive: Master rank players can now open a top-10 leaderboard from the title screen (1.3.0 notes).

Three reads for team-building:

• The Opalion–Cairnage line is now officially acknowledged. 1.3.0 hands Opalion its cooldown back — 6 seconds is faster than even the pre-1.2.0 8 — but cuts Rock allies triggered 2 → 1, and the reasoning line is a first for these notes: “Changed to weaken the Cairnage synergy.” The community’s unverified one-shot line has now been acted on in consecutive patches: nerfed blind in 1.2.0, rebalanced by name in 1.3.0.
• Petrirex gets its cast speed back, not its payout. The cooldown revert restores the 5.5-second trigger, but 1.2.0’s removal of per-knockout Damage stands — the Shield-only scaler-over-time read from the community’s Curio-team discussion still applies (Petrirex’s own page tracks all three patches).
• The multicast axis got a price hike. Aviarab — the Flying monster that arms Multicast — went Cost 20 → 25, and the notes say why in plain text: giving multicast “is very strong, and it looks to be overperforming.” Bird builds pay more for their engine.

Outside the monster tables, 1.3.0 is mostly repairs: keyboard hotkeys, an optional background FPS limit, and over twenty bugfixes — among them Zenith Stone still boosting Cooldown Speed (the 1.2.0 nerf leaked), the Smuggler sometimes bringing the wrong tier mix, and Shiny Wishwash being no better than regular Wishwash at level 4.

Patch 1.5.0 (November 6): a balance snapshot — no re-grades yet

The fourth pass goes wide rather than deep, and this page logs it as a snapshot: the rows above keep their evidence labels until someone verifies how the new numbers actually play. The 1.5.0 notes’ Batomon lines, quoted as printed:

Outside the tables: the Batopedia now shows each Batomon’s base shop price next to its rarity; the new Plain Lure and Sweet Lure trinkets replace Basic Bait (Plain raises Common shop appearances, Sweet raises Common and Uncommon); and the event, trainer and item lines — Bug Collector, Hero’s Sword team damage +12 → +16, Kaleidoscope, Research Notes, Rainbow Berry, Basilord’s Burn 170/340/510 → 190/380/570, Gamer’s Mythical arriving at day 8, Gentleman +$5/day, the Smuggler’s discount 25% → 35%, Redhead, Burglar, Witch, Green Stone — are recorded here and await the same evidence standard as every row above.

A hotfix landed mid-cadence on November 11 — Patch 1.5.1, the fifth pass, logged as a snapshot like the rest:

The Lamplet cooldown jump (2.5 → 4) is the first balance line to touch the 1.5.0 Multicast engine — the 1.5.0 table above keeps its as-printed wording until the next full re-grade. (Patch 1.5.1 notes)

Pantra rankings: the fourteen monsters 1.1.0 buffed

The developer’s own framing is modest: “I’m also buffing up some lesser played or underperforming Pantra Batomon to help the region match the power level of Jinto teams.” Read that carefully — these fourteen are the patch’s bets, raised because they underperformed, not rewards for already being strong. Clawnetic is the standout: the patch’s only qualitative ability restructure.

Two footnotes the table can’t show: Coalem’s +100/+200/+300 shield per tier is the biggest raw buff in the patch, and Electranade proves a “buff wave” isn’t uniform — its Shock numbers went down. Which of the fourteen actually turn into winning comps is what the best teams page tracks as rosters get verified.

Jinto rankings: sixteen proven engines, all cut

Jinto’s nerfs carry the strongest strength evidence on this page, because the developer wrote the reason into the patch: “At days 10+, median DPS of Jinto teams are almost 2 times higher than Pantra teams.” Sixteen monsters were cut from that documented level, so B here means “proven strong, now weaker” — not weak. The cut depths vary widely, and that variance is the real ranking information until the next patch shows who survived.

Sukoi took the deepest hit — a third slower at every tier (6/3/2 → 9/4.5/3), one patch after the v1.0.1 hotfix already capped its self-leveling ability at level 3. Rattleghast lost poison output and a third of its affordability. Pipskull’s change is a pure tempo tax: its Ratacomb evolution now needs a third knockout.

Event and cross-region rankings

Three event monsters and one cross-region fixture drew the patch’s attention, and for this pool the official quotes do the ranking on their own.

Boomagon’s placement is the developer’s own sentence — “Boomagon is still the most popular pick in the game. It warrants a slight nerf due to how centralizing it can feel on the meta.” — and this is the second straight patch to trim it: the demo-era v0.8.5 pass already stretched its Cooldown from 6 to 7 seconds. Wishwash and Basilord were both raised for being “slightly underperforming”, per the notes.

Talonite is the pool’s dispute. The notes call its rarity bump “a slight nerf” — Basic Candy can no longer target it — yet a 16-comment build thread keeps it on community shortlists, where players propose a one-shot line built on Opalion, Cairnage and Talonite behind the Painter trainer. That line is unverified. Official and community reads disagree, so the row stays Contested — and patch 1.2.0 then cut two of its three pieces (see the table above) without touching Talonite itself.

Community-flagged monsters the patch didn’t settle

Seven more names dominate community discussion without a 1.1.0 verdict. None has an official region filing, so they stand outside the two regional tables — but the picture is no longer blank: the best community evidence puts Sirenade and Velocect on the Pantra side, while Pebbler, Dirgefin, Celestia and Reapra all appear in the official record before the Jinto split without ever being filed under a region.

When these flagged monsters are the ones beating you, the best teams overview tracks the engines behind those picks — with the same honesty about what is and is not tested.
