In Pokemon Go, every Pokemon has its special abilities and perks. There are hundreds of Pokemon available in Pokemon Go and many more will still come as the generations pass through. Different strengths are required in attacking, defending, tackling raids and fighting in PvP. There are different combat mechanics for each Pokemon. Some are good in PvP battles and some are outstanding at raids or gyms. Few Pokemon are strong all-rounders on every battlefield. The best Pokemon mainly depends on how the player uses them in the battle. The player should understand how to use their Pokemon completely from gyms to PvP battles.
