How counters are ranked

Every released Pokemon is simulated at level 40 against Omanyte using the in-game damage formula and the current Game Master move data. Each fast + charged combination is tested; only the best moveset per Pokemon is listed.

DPS is damage per second over a full attack cycle. TDO is the total damage dealt before fainting, so it rewards bulk. Shadow forms are ranked with their 20% Attack boost and 17% Defense penalty; Mega and Primal forms use their boosted base stats.

Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 904 CP it is a perfect Omanyte — throw a Golden Razz Berry.
