We show you the 15 strongest Pokémon with the highest CP values of the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO.
In the past few days, there have been over 80 new monsters from the 2nd generation in Pokémon GO. This means that many trainers now have to get used to these new Pokémon and find out which are strong and which are rather weak. In this overview, we show you the 15 strongest Pokémon, measured by their CP values.
The Max-CP of the 2nd generation
CP values are the calling card of many trainers and their favorite Pokémon. These values roughly indicate how strong a monster is or how much potential it has. For a Pokémon to be considered “strong”, it is also important which attacks it knows and how high its IV values are.
According to Rankedboost, these are the 15 highest CP values of Pokémon from the 2nd generation:
- Ho-Oh – 4650 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Despotar – 3670 CP
- Lugia – 3598 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Entei – 3412 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Raikou – 3349 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Heiteira – 3219 CP
- Celebi – 3090 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Donphan – 3022 CP
- Psiana – 3000 CP
- Skaraborn – 2938 CP
- Suicune – 2823 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Scherox – 2801 CP
- Ursaring – 2760 CP
- Impergator – 2721 CP
- Ampharos – 2695 CP
If we only consider Pokémon that are already in the game, we still need to add a few to reach 15:
- 16. Tornupto – 2686 CP
- 17. Porygon2 – 2546 CP
- 18. Hundemon – 2529 CP
- 19. Laschoking – 2482 CP
- 20. Iksbat – 2466 CP
- 21. Granbull – 2440 CP

These Pokémon have the highest CP of the 2nd generation. Some of them are excellent in the arena. Heiteira, for example, is a feared defender in arenas. Why Heiteira is so strong is explained here.
However, there are also monsters from the Johto region whose Max-CP is extremely low. The three Pokémon with the lowest CP from the 2nd generation are:
- Pottrott – 300 CP
- Sonnkern – 316 CP
- Farbeagle – 389 CP (Not yet in the game)
- Rabauz – 404 CP
Farbeagle is a special Pokémon that is currently not yet in the game. Experts suspect that it could be the “new Ditto”.
