Over the last five years the experience of Pokémon GO has only gotten more and more complex, making choosing the best Pokémon that much harder in every battle. Whether you’re looking to take on a boss in a raid or fight other trainers in the GO Battle League PvP arena, you often need to know who will deal the most damage. Of course, since there are so many types of characters, you need to filter it down somewhat. To help, heres the best Pokémon by type in Pokémon GO.

Best Pokémon by Type in Pokémon GO

We’ll break down each Pokémon type and the best attackers in the group. Pf course, there’s more options than just standard Pokémon these days. We have included Mega evolutions where applicable. For Shadow variants though, we will instead place their normal versions on the list. If you have a Shadow form of one on the list then just know that it is a better attacker than what the list indicates, so if you can power it up, you should.

The types are in alphabetical order and will include the best moveset for each Pokémon listed. This can change often, so be sure to come back to see if there are any updates. We’ll perform periodic maintenance as necessary, but it may lag behind as new species are introduced in Pokémon GO.
