Don't know how to storm the gym in your home without wasting hundreds of revitalizers and thousands of potions? No problem, we'll take care of explaining what they are the best Pokémon to take down any gym easily (and also how to defend it). The characteristics taken into consideration are of course only the offensive ones. But beware: as you may have noticed looking at both lists there are Pokémon that are strong both in attack and in defense, so their presence here does not imply that they are bad defenders.
As you can see from this image there are distinct groups, on the left the strongest in attack and on the right the weakest.
We also have two useful tips for you:
- Pay attention to the type of Pokémon you are going to face. One Pokémon that is super effective against another could win with half the opponent's Battle Points.
- Use only Pokémon XS in attack (They have less life points but are quicker to attack and dodge) and with a strong and fast basic move (you will rarely use the special move and therefore you might as well rely on that base)
Also not everyone knows that: Attacking a gym at the same time with a member of your team will find yourself fighting alongside him, up to a maximum of four players. Can't beat that Snorlax with hundreds of health? Well, call some friends and beat them out of numbers.
