Top Strongest Pokemons 2021 & How To Counter

Here are the top 10 strongest Pokemons in Pokemon GO as well as examples of how to counter them based on the types they are weak against.

#1. Best Attackers In Pokemon Go 2021

Attacking and defending are the two main strategies in Pokemon Go. Apart from the strengths, weaknesses, resistances of each Pokemon type, each Pokemon has unique CP values that show its best role in the battle. Here are the ten best Attackers and their Types.

  • Mewtwo is a Psychic Pokemon. It's one of the best Shadow Pokemons in Pokemon Go. However, this single-type Pokemon is weak against Dark, Bug, and Ghost, so you can use these types to counter it.
  • Metagross is the strongest Steel-type Pokemon Go attacker which has the legacy move called Meteor Mash. It's more powerful when you power it up but it's pretty expensive. Fire, Fighting and Ground is its weaknesses.
  • Machamp is another single-type Pokemon. It's a powerful attacker of Fighting-type. This Pokemon is strong against most Pokémon defenders. To defeat it, remember to use Fairy, Flying, and Psychic moves.
  • Rayquaza is a dual-type Pokemon that has the feature of both Dragon and Flying Pokemon types. You can only obtain it from Legendary raids. This attacker is highly likely to lose when fighting against Ice Pokemons, the common weakness of both Dragon and Flying types.
  • Kyogre is the strongest Water-type Pokemon now. Hydro Pump and Surf are the most effective move sets against bosses and rock-type and ground-type defenders. However, this Pokemon would lose to Grass and Electric moves.
  • Groudon is a powerful Ground-type attacker in Pokemon Go that is weak against Water, Grass, and Ice moves.
  • Salamence is also a single-type Pokemon of Flying-type, whose weaknesses are Electric, Ice and Rock.
  • Electric-type is one of the strongest Pokemon types in this game because it is only weak against Ground-type Pokemon. Thundurus is a powerful Electric-type attacker, but now you know how to counter it based on Pokemon Go weakness chart.
  • Fighting-type has a lot of powerful attackers, including Lucario. If you can't get Machamp, you can use Lucario instead. In case you want to fight Lucario, remember to use Pokemons of Flying, Fairy and Psychic types.
  • Although Rampardos is not a legendary Pokemon, it's still one of the best attackers in this game. However, being a Rock type means Rampardos is weak against Grass, Ground, Fighting, Steel and Water moves.
  • Tyranitar is also a Rock-type Pokemon attacker which may lose in a battle against Water, Steel, Grass, Fighting and Ground. On the contrary, if your enemy is the legendary Mewtwo, use this attacker.

#2. Best Defenders In Pokemon Go 2021

To defend against powerful attacks, you should choose the best Pokemon Defenders. Here are the top ten Defenders in Pokemon Go that you should use.

  • Mewtwo and Metagross are not only strong attackers but also useful defenders, so you should collect Pokemon Go rare candies to power them up. However, both of these Psychic Pokemons are weak against Dark, Bug and Ghost types. Metagross is also vulnerable to Fire and Ground as well.
  • SlakingBlissey and Snorlax are great Normal-type Pokemon defenders. This Pokemon type is only weak against Fighting-type Pokemon attackers. You can use Blissey when countering Pokemon attackers of other types. These Normal-type Pokemon defenders are easier to get than Mewtwo, Metagross, and other legendary Pokemon.
  • Togekiss is a dual-type Pokemon of Fairy and Flying types. You need to evolve Togetic to get this powerful Pokemon Defender. To counter Togekiss, use Steel, Poison, Ice, Electric or Rock moves.
  • Dragonite is a Dragon/Flying Pokemon defender. It's weak against Rock and Ice moves.
  • Registeel is a Steel-type Pokemon that is weak against Fire, Fighting, and Ground Pokemon.
  • Like Registeel, Melmetal is also a Steel-type Pokemon defender but it's introduced in Gen 7. This Pokemon is the evolved form of Meltan and is weak against Fighting, Ground and Fire moves.
  • Shuckle is a Bug/Rock-type Pokémon. This dual-type Pokemon defender is introduced in Generation 2. It can be countered by using Flying, Fire, Grass, Ground, Steel, Fighting or Water moves.
