The best Pokemon in Pokemon GO

Like no one ever was

The best Pokemon in Pokemon GO
|
| Pokemon GO

Now that you've been playing Pokemon GO for a while, and you've caught all your favourite monsters from the 90s, it's time to get serious.

Get rid of those Pidgeys. Dump Clefairy into the sea. Boot Geodude in his rocky arse. Let's get some real critters up in here.

Thanks to the data mining effort of The Silph Road on Reddit, we now know the stats for all the Pokemon in the game and can list out the monsters with the best attack, defence, and stamina stats. And then, the critters with the best combined stats.

Note that all of the legendary Pokemon - Mewtwo, Mew, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres - would make the list but we haven't included them as they are currently impossible to catch.
