Best Pokemon GO Attackers by Type

Each type page ranks the top 30 Pokemon by DPS for raids, including Shadow and Mega forms. Click any type below to see the full tier list with movesets, DPS, TDO, and which raid bosses each type counters.

Our rankings use Pokemon GO's actual damage formula to simulate every possible moveset against a Tier 5 raid boss. We calculate DPS (Damage Per Second) for raw speed, TDO (Total Damage Output) for survivability, and eDPS (Effective DPS) as a balanced composite metric. Shadow Pokemon are ranked with their 20% attack boost, and Mega evolutions with their boosted base stats — so you can directly compare all forms side by side.

Building a strong raid team means covering all 18 types. Focus on S-Tier and A-Tier attackers for each type to maximize your damage contribution. Shadow forms generally lead in raw DPS, while Mega evolutions provide team-wide type boost benefits that help the entire lobby clear faster.
