13 Nov 2021

Hi, Trainers...

Isn’t today a beautiful day to become A CHAMPION? You and I know that competing in a Player vs. Player(PVP) Battle in Pokémon Go is nice, but winning is even better, so to make you a legendary Trainer, I’m bringing you…

…THE TOP 15 OVERPOWERED POKÉMONS FOR YOUR “POKÉMON GO” PLAYER VS. PLAYER!

Note: Since there are 3 different Leagues, I’m placing them according to their respective Leagues, so, exemplifying it, I’m not comparing the 15th Pokémon to the 4th one, because they represent different Leagues on this list.

So let’s GO(Pun always intended)!

15. MACHAMP

No! This isn’t Perry the Platypus after bodybuilding...

Say “hey” to Machamp, the Fighting-type Pokémon who got the 15th position on this list! The evolved form of Machoke, who’s the evolved form of Machop.

A Good Choice For

Ultra League

What MACHAMP Excels In

As a Fighting-type, Machamp’s Moves are incredibly good and fast. Its Quick Move provides high damage and generates lots of energy to increase its Main Move. Machamp is great to fight against Pokémons like Snorlax, who’s very present in this league, and takes a long time to be defeated.

MACHAMP’s Best Attacks For Your PVP

Quick Move: Counter
Main Move: Dynamic Punch

MACHAMP's Weaknesses

Nobody is perfect! Machand is weak against Fairy and Psychic types

Catch MACHAMP!

Wild catch and Field Research

14. FLYGON

Being a Dragon-type Pokémon already makes from Flygon a very strong Pokémon; the available Moves for this type of Pokémons are very interesting! Types: Dragon and Ground.

A Good Choice For

Ultra League

What FLYGON Excels In

The ground-type also brings to Flygon more resistance, and yea, it is not the most resistant one in this League, but it is great to hit shields using Quick Moves. It can even beat an adversary by only using Quick Moves. Who’s the boss? Flygon is the boss!

FLYGON’s Best Attacks For Your Player vs. Player

Quick Move: Dragon Tail
Main Move: Dragon Claw/Earthquake

FLYGON’s Weaknesses

Weak against the types: Fairy, Ice and Dragon

Catch FLYGON!

Wild Catch and Field Research, in the forms of Trapinch and Vibrava.

13. LUGIA

Lugia is a legendary Pokémon who never disappoints. It belongs to the Psychic and Flying types.

A Good Choice For

Ultra League

What LUGIA Excels In

This Pokémon has a Dragon-type Quick Move available, which generates tones of energy to charge Lugia's ultra powerful Main Move even faster. This Pokémon can also make the Dragon-types beg for their lives!

LUGIA’s Best Attacks For Your PVP

Quick Move: Dragon Tail
Main Move: Aeroblast

LUGIA’s Weaknesses

Weak against the types: Ice, Ghost, Rock and Electric

Catch LUGIA!

In 5-Star Raids(sporadically).

12. CHARIZARD

When I was a kid, I hated Ash Ketchum’s Charizard, because it was never awake. Now I think to myself: Oh my God, what an amazing lifestyle that Pokémon has! I know, we are all Charizards…

If you want to see resistance and a great attack rate, this Fire-type/Flying-type is your Pokémon!

A Good Choice For

Ultra League

What CHARIZARD Excels In

Going against all the possible logic, Charizard isn't a Dragon-type, what's a total advantage in this particular case, because it doesn't have the Dragon-type's Weaknesses, but it can use some of the Dragon-type's Moves.

CHARIZARD’s Best Attacks For Your PVP

Quick Move: Fire Spin
Main Move: Dragon Claw and Overheat

CHARIZARD Weaknesses

It may have issues with the types Water, Rock or Electric.

Catch CHARIZARD!

Mega Raid(sporadically);
As a reward for completing a Field Research;
