Vegas - The best attackers in Pokemon GO

      The data dump also included numbers on attack and defence scores - called BaseAttack and BaseDefense. These Base statistics are the same for each Pokemon species, then the Individual scores are random on each Pokemon (between 0 and 15). The total of both of these types affect the CP.

While it is currently unclear how exactly these numbers impact battling, they clearly represent an indication into each Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses.

The best attackers in Pokemon Go are Mewtwo, Dragonite and Moltres, according to the attack statistics released.

Those to have some of the best attack scores that are not legendary or very uncommon include Flareon, Exeggutor and Arcanine.

Three of  the top ten attackers are fire-type Pokemon, indicating that these are the ones to attack gyms with.
