Remember again that this Level List is an edited approach, rather than a ranking of Pokémon by their highest DPS moves or their exact stats, which translates to experience. , our own knowledge and judgment will come into play here as well as the raw numbers.
That's worth mentioning, several sources were extremely helpful in helping us decide: community work like this spreadsheet, as well as cross-referencing GamePress and Gameinfo in particular, who have approached the situation in different ways. various, as well as in-depth calculations ranging from complete match simulations to simpler offensive and defensive DPS calculations and many more.
We recommend you consider all of the above if you're looking for even more insight into the information available – but be warned, it gets complicated!
Below, we'll take all of the above into account, along with our understanding of the general metagame environment as things play out - which means that while Pokémon may rank near the top in quantity raw damage dealt, but it may not rank as high on our tier list because of some flimsy defenses and lack of coverage.
It's also important to note that the best attackers are almost always Mega Pokémon, so we won't include them in our list. No one wants to read the same list of 'Mega Rayquaza and Primal Groudon are the ones it's best to just use those all the time', because that's (thankfully) not how the game works.
