In Pokémon GO there are various new Pokémon from the 5th generation. But which monsters are really good? We show you the 4 best Pokémon of the new wave.
How many new Pokémon are there? 17 new monsters and their evolutions are waiting for you. Among them are Pokémon of various types.
Some Pokémon are really worth it as they are among the best attackers of their type.
These 4 Pokémon of the new wave are particularly worthwhile
Rank 4 – Brockoloss: The Rock-type Pokémon is also a solid attacker in this type. Additionally, it knows the best Rock attacks.
- Attack Value: 226
- Defense Value: 201
- HP Value: 198
- Maximum CP: 3228
Its attack value is decent, but not outstanding. That’s why it ranks behind Pokémon like Rameidon, Terrakium, or Despotar among Rock attackers.
So you won’t miss anything if you don’t have it on your team, but it is definitely a solid alternative.
Rank 3 – Aeropteryx: In terms of stats alone, Aeropteryx is a huge highlight. Only the attacks ruin the Pokémon quite a bit.
- Attack Value: 292
- Defense Value: 139
- HP Value: 181
- Maximum CP: 3331
It has the second highest attack value of all Rock Pokémon and should therefore be interesting. However, the attacks of Aeropteryx currently make it quite useless. It has 5 attacks from 5 different types.
You should secure a good specimen and hope that a future attack change also benefits Aeropteryx. Because then it will be among the best attackers in the game.
Rank 2 – Maxax: With Maxax, we have the Dragoran or Brutalanda of the 5th generation in the game. Its attack value is excellent, but it battles with tough competition.
- Attack Value: 284
- Defense Value: 174
- HP Value: 183
- Maximum CP: 3593
Its attack value is brilliant, but its other stats make it somewhat of a glass cannon. It deals a lot of damage, but can’t take much. Furthermore, Maxax has a lot of competition and can’t surpass Pokémon like Rayquaza or Brutalanda.
Milza, the pre-evolution of Maxax, is a good candidate for a Community Day. There, Maxax could learn Wrath and become significantly better. Now with Dragon Claw, it is also solid and enhances your team.
Rank 1 – Meistagrif: Many players might have been waiting for this Pokémon, as it is the replacement for Machomei. It is better on all levels and strengthens your battle team.
- Attack Value: 243
- Defense Value: 158
- HP Value: 233
- Maximum CP: 3337
It deals more damage than Machomei and is also more stable in battle. Only Lucario deals even more damage than a fighting attacker, but is much quicker to be defeated.
Meistagrif is therefore an enormous boost for the team and replaces Machomei in battles against Heiteira and Chaneira.
There are also new regional Pokémon. We will show you where to find them:
