In Pokemon Go, you can catch different creatures. However, they differ not only in appearances but in stats as well. In this guide, you will learn what the highest CP Pokemon in Pokemon GO are.

WHAT IS CP IN POKEMON GO?

It is impossible to perfectly balance all the creatures and make them the same in terms of their stats and power. Therefore, in Pokemon GO, there are some extremely rare and powerful Pokemon. If you have them, you will not only gain the respect of other players but will get more rewards while playing the game.

However, visually it is impossible to determine whether a Pokemon is strong or not. So, the developers have created a CP system to make the power of every creature transparent for players. The higher the CP number, the more powerful it is.

Unfortunately, even with CP, there are a lot of inaccuracies. There are many Pokemon that are pretty potent but have low CP. But no doubt, such a system makes the gameplay better. And, of course, the CP system is a real lifesaver for beginners as it provides a quick indication of a Pokemon's strength.

THE HIGHEST CP POKEMON LIST IN POKEMON GO

Now we've cleared up what CP is and its purpose,  let's talk about the Pokemon with the highest CP rating in Pokemon Go. Be sure, using these creatures will be the best choice.

However, before reading the list, you need to know that high CP does not guarantee a result. You might be more effective in some cases using Pokemon with lower CP numbers. Everything depends on your gaming style, experience and the particular battle you're in. 

Also, you can quickly increase your Pokemon's CP if you level up it using candy. Now, let’s take a look at Pokemon with the highest number of CP.

Mega Latios

Mega Latios and Latias seem the same at first glance. However, compared to Latias, Latios has better attack stats. As a result, the CP of this Pokemon is slightly higher. The maximum CP he can get is 5,661 which is a nice number. But take into account that getting Latios is a pretty challenging task.

Mega Latias

Just like Mega Latios, Latias is also a legendary pokemon. But compared to Latios, she has more defensively focused stats, which makes her potential CP lower. And the maximum CP you can get for Latias is 5,428, making this Pokemon one of the best in Pokemon GO.

Mega Gyarados

One of the main things you need to know about Mega Gyarados is that it combines 2 of the most potent elements - Water and Dark. Moreover, this creature can boast high attack stats. As a result, the maximum CP you can reach using Mega Gyarados is 5,332.

Mega Charizard Y

Charizard Y is one of the Pokemon that can use Mega Evolution. And one of the main features of this monster is the Fire-type. To be honest, it is pretty hard to find a better creature with Fire typing than Mega Charizard Y. It can reach 5,037 CP.

Slaking

Conversely to all previous pokemon, this one reaches its maximum CP in standard form. However, unlike all other creatures, Slaking can not boast of something incredibly cool and powerful. It is just an ordinary Pokemon, but with high CP. And if you want, you can reach 5,010 CP using Slaking. However, its best role is defending Gyms since having Yawn as its Fast Attack puts it at a disadvantage in battles.

Regigigas

The first and the main thing you need to know is that this Pokemon is one of the hardest to obtain in Pokemon GO. So, if you see another player with Regigigas, remember that this player has spent long hours trying to get it. In standard form, Regigigas can reach 4,913 CP, which is insane.

Mega Gengar

Gengar has always been a fan-favourite so many players were pleased to hear it would receive a Mega evolution. Mega Gengar boasts powerful Ghost and Poison typing. Moreover, this monster has significant attack stats. As a result, using Mega Gengar, you can reach 4,902 CP.

Mega Ampharos

The only electric Pokemon on the list. Mega Ampharos is the most powerful electric creature in the game. Keep in mind that the stats of this Pokemon are perfectly balanced, so it is a bit of an allrounder, which has its pros and cons. And the maximum of CP you can reach with Ampharos is 4,799.

Mewtwo

Mewtwo is one of the most famous legendary Pokemon. And this does not prevent this monster from being one of the most powerful in Pokemon GO. Moreover, conversely to other creatures, this one is aimed at defense. The maximum CP you can get with Mewtwo is 4,724.

Groudon

As evident from the name, Groudon is a Ground-type pokemon. And you can get it by completing different raids, making it easier to obtain than some of the other entries on this list. And the maximum CP you can get for Groudon is 4,652, which is high.

In conclusion, CP in Pokemon GO is like power points in other video games. However, a higher CPs does not mean you will be invincible. At the same time, getting a pokemon with high CP is a good goal you can set for yourself in Pokemon GO.
