In Pokémon Masters, special attacks are often the most devastating. It is important to have a first-class DPS in its composition, and that is why this tier-list is in your interest — whether you are a beginner or an experienced player. Very often focused on massive AOEs or attacks accompanied by status effects, "Special" Pairs are the spearhead of most trainers!
Tier 1
With its 336 Special Attack, Mega Houndoom is a heavyweight in its category. "Entertain Me!" allows Mega Houndoom to be a killing machine with a composition that is capable of keeping it alive. Its passive skills protect it from certain alterations. A perfect duo if you like to play with fire, in every sense of the word!
He has very good stats. Like Mega Houndoom, Chandelure inflicts tons of damage if it is in a bad position. It is the king of comebacks! We will note its ability to auto-boost — "Power Reserves 2" — which makes it relatively autonomous in any composition.
Excellent stats — coupled with an outstanding skill set — Roserade is a double-edged and rather situational attacker. If you want to optimize it, you will have to play with "Trust in Nature!", which requires you to have negative alterations on you. Create synergy with "Sunny Day" if possible!
Tier 2
A good striker, very focused on critical shots!
He has quite average offensive stats for a Pokemon of this tier, but compensated by a versatile kit. In particular, you will appreciate "First Aid 4" liability, which will bring a lot of resilience to Raichu.
Tier 3
Like many special strikers, it shines in battles that seem lost in advance. Flint's abilities will allow Infernape to be boosted in all directions.
You are a tier-3 but don't cry! It could have been worse. You have in your pocket a utilitarian and resilient arsenal, perfect to start and hit hard in your first compositions.
Rather situational since you will want to optimize this duo by playing with the passive "Racing Rain 2". That is why Clair and Kingdra are in the low average of the special strikers.
Tier 4
Dewgong can be boosted in a consequent way, but its basic stats remain horribly weak....
