One of the most frequently asked questions is what is the best Pokemon to use as an attacker in Pokemon Go? What is the best defender in the game, and what moves should I use? For this matter, I’ve decided to “dig deeper” and get the right info.
In this post, I will list the Pokemon from Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 that are important in Pokemon Go, what are the best attackers and best defenders in the game. They are of every type that exists, and I hope that it will be helpful for you.
