There are many Pokemon in Pokemon Go. Some cute, some big, some small. But what Pokemon are the best?
A Reddit user going by the name u/ISporE has decided to give us a little insight into what Pokemon are the best for Raids, PvPs and other things. They made a list, so here it is:
Primal Groudon is a good Pokemon, while Primal Kyogre is not a good choice when it comes to Raids. Kyogre is good too, but not against Shadow Pokemon. So far, normal Rayquaza is the best non-mega flying type.
