Attackers Tier List
Tier List Overview
The Attackers Tier List aims to tackle the question of where best to spend your resources (Stardust, Rare Candy, and TMs). The Attackers Tier List highlights what are arguably the best Raid Pokemon in the game, and while the top attackers may fluctuate with additions of new Pokemon and moveset shake-ups, we anticipate entries on this core list to be highly used in Raid and Gym battles regardless. All trainers should feel confident in powering up and adding these Pokemon to their team based on current rankings.
The best Pokemon to power up will always be the ones immediately useful, so pay attention to Raid Boss rotations!
Note on Mega Evolutions
Mega Evolutions are calculated a little differently on this list due to the fact that players can only have one at a time. Because of this limitation, some very strong Mega Evolutions may end up on tiers lower than other Pokemon within their types, as their meta tends to be more competitive. A lower placement on a Mega Evolution does not necessarily make it worse than its competition.
These are the Pokemon that rule the current Metagame. They are the apex of power within their given types, and are either capable of effectively slotting into teams without Super Effective damage or are simply the best of a remarkably useful type. These should be the top-priorities for any player working on building a Raid team.
These are the Pokemon that stand at or near the top of their useful types, or Pokemon that bring tremendous amounts of general utility to the table. They are always very powerful, extremely versatile, or able to fill a niche in the game that is extremely valuable.
These are the Pokemon that are genuinely good in the current Meta: the gold-standards. They are high-priority picks due to their high power and/or utility, and will find their way onto raid teams frequently due to their stellar capabilities or the important niches that they occupy.
These are the Pokemon that can generally fight just as hard as the higher tiers, but are slightly less valuable due to being outclassed by the Pokemon in higher tiers or not having an extremely useful typing. It's hard to go wrong picking one of these Pokemon, as they tend to be capable of reaching similar raiding milestones as the above tiers for the most part.
These are the Pokemon that are generally good fillers: the Pokemon that have the power needed to keep a raid-group running, but not enough to be the top picks. If you lack the top tiers, these are work-horses that can fill out a team and keep DPS up.
Tier 6
These are the Pokemon that are the second-line picks. They can fill out a team if needed, but they generally aren’t worth investing much in at all.
