Pyroar does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier A spot at #30 in Ultra League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.
- Attack is its highest stat (221), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
