Since the 4th generation has been introduced in Pokémon GO, the values of Sinnoh Pokémon are also known. We show you the best Pokémon from the 4th Gen.
In the 4th generation, there are 107 new Pokémon waiting for you. Not all of them are equally good or bad. Therefore, we will show you which Pokémon are particularly useful and what you can use them for.
How are the values determined? Most of the mentioned Pokémon are not yet available in the game. So far, only 26 Pokémon of the 4th generation are available. Nevertheless, the values of all Pokémon from the 4th generation are already known. These can be easily calculated with a formula and provide an overview of the usability of the Pokémon.
The best new attackers
No legendary Pokémon: This listing only considers normal Pokémon and no legendary monsters. You can find an overview of the legendary Pokémon of the 4th generation here.
The values used come from the Gamepress website. They have already published all the new values and attacks of the Pokémon from the 4th generation. We then compared these values with the values of the current Pokémon.
Rameidon
- Type: Rock
- Max CP: 3298
What makes Rameidon special: Rameidon excels with its enormous attack value. It has a score of 295, almost as high as Mewtwo’s (300 points).
Does Rameidon have special attacks? So far, among the Rock-type Pokémon, Tyranitar was the leading Pokémon when it mastered the Community Day move Catapult and Rock Slide. Rameidon also masters Catapult, which gives it an advantage. Unlike Tyranitar, it cannot learn the attack Rock Slide but can only learn Rock Blast. If Rameidon could learn another Rock charge attack, it would definitely be better than Tyranitar. However, it is currently on the same level as Tyranitar.
Rihornior
- Type: Rock/Ground
- Max CP: 3733
What makes Rihornior special: Rihornior has the highest HP value of all Rock-type Pokémon. It also has the highest CP of all Pokémon of this type. Its attack value is lower than Tyranitar’s. So Tyranitar remains the better Rock-type attacker.
Does Rihornior have special attacks? Just like Rameidon, Rihornior can also learn the attack Catapult. Additionally, it can learn Rock Slide. These attacks make Rihornior one of the best Rock attackers. If its attack value were a bit higher, it could also surpass Tyranitar.
Elevoltek
- Type: Electric
- Max CP: 3079
What makes Elevoltek special: Level up your Electabuzz! With its evolution, the new best Electric attacker enters the game. Elevoltek has a higher attack value than Raikou and outperforms the legendary Pokémon as the best attacker of its type.
Does Elevoltek have special attacks? Elevoltek can learn the attack Shock Wave, just like Raikou. It is the best Electric-type attack and helps Elevoltek become the best Electric attacker.
Magnezone
- Type: Electric/Steel
- Max CP: 3205
What makes Magnezone special: With Magnezone, another solid Electric attacker enters Pokémon GO. Although its attack value does not reach that of Raikou or Elevoltek, it is still not bad and ranks among the top attackers.
Does Magnezone have special attacks? Just like Elevoltek, Magnezone can learn Shock Wave. This makes this Pokémon very interesting. Because this attack is so good, Magnezone ranks third among Electric attackers, ahead of Zapdos.
Roserade
- Type: Grass/Poison
- Max CP: 2971
What makes Roserade special: Collect Roselia candy diligently. The evolution of the Grass Pokémon will be a weapon! It has the highest attack value of all Grass Pokémon and can cause a lot of trouble. However, Roserade’s downside is obvious. Looking at its other stats, it quickly becomes clear that Roserade has a poor defense. Similar to Gengar, Roserade deals an incredible amount of damage but also takes a lot of hits.
Does Roserade have special attacks? Roserade can learn Razor Leaf and Solar Beam. These are among the best attacks of the Grass type.
Tangoloss
- Type: Grass
- Max CP: 3030
What makes Tangoloss special: The evolution of Tangela will also play a major role in Pokémon GO. Its stats are solid and comparable to those of Venusaur. However, compared to Venusaur, Tangoloss can achieve significantly higher CP.
Does Tangoloss have special attacks? Another advantage of Tangoloss is its attacks Vine Whip and Solar Beam. While it may not be the best Grass attacker, it can compete in the league of the best.
Yanmega
- Type: Bug/Flying
- Max CP: 2946
What makes Yanmega special: After Pinsir and Scizor, Yanmega finally brings a new and solid Bug attacker to the game. Its CP is better than those of Pinsir and Scizor. Its attack value is comparable to those of both.
Does Yanmega have special attacks? No, the attacks are comparable to those of Pinsir and Scizor. But the rare type is special. The Bug type has always been a good choice against Psychic Pokémon. In raids against Mewtwo or Deoxys, this type has always been useful. Also in the 4th generation, there are many new Psychic raid bosses, making Yanmega potentially useful.
Togekiss
- Type: Fairy/Flying
- Max CP: 3332
What makes Togekiss special: Togekiss is a Fairy-type, a type that previously had no good Pokémon. So far, there is no Fairy fast attack, which is why this type has hardly been usable. This could change with Togekiss. Its attack value is high, and its other stats make Togekiss a solid defender as well.
Does Togekiss have special attacks? So far, Togekiss cannot learn any Fairy-type fast attack either. Many players speculate that this attack might be implemented later. If that happens, Togekiss will become even more interesting.
Galagladi
- Type: Psychic/Fighting
- Max CP: 3093
What makes Galagladi special: Galagladi has two interesting types. If you fight with the Pokémon against a Heiteira that knows Zen Headbutt, then Galagladi is not hit very effectively. Unlike Machamp. Thus, Galagladi can be used as a good attacker against the classic gym defenders.
Does Galagladi have special attacks? Galagladi can learn two Fighting-type attacks, making it quite useful as a fighting attacker. Although it cannot learn the best fighting moveset (Counter and Dynamic Punch), it benefits from its unique types.
Mamutel
- Type: Ice/Ground
- Max CP: 3329
What makes Mamutel special: Mamutel is one of three new and strong Ice Pokémon. Among all Ice Pokémon, it is the best. It has the highest attack value of all Ice Pokémon and also has the best HP value. So it deals the most damage, but also tanks the most.
Does Mamutel have special attacks? Mamutel can also learn the move Avalanche. This is the best Ice move in the game, showcasing its strength further.
Snibunna
- Type: Ice/Dark
- Max CP: 3005
What makes Snibunna special: Snibunna excels primarily with its high attack value. While there are better alternatives for Ice and Dark types, anyone looking for a solid Pokémon for both types will find Snibunna to be a good choice.
Does Snibunna have special attacks? Snibunna has solid Ice attacks. However, this does not make it particularly special. It’s the types that generally do not produce many good attackers. So there is only Mamutel for Ice type, which is better, and only Tyranitar for Dark type as a better alternative.
Knakrack
- Type: Dragon/Ground
- Max CP: 3962
What makes Knakrack special: Yes, another strong new Dragon Pokémon! Knakrack is likely to be the strongest non-legendary Pokémon in the game. It has extremely high damage output and is also a strong Ground attacker alongside the Dragon type.
Does Knakrack have special attacks? Knakrack particularly excels in attack diversity. Its Dragon and Ground attacks are strong and useful.
Keep in mind that the values of these Pokémon may still change before their release. In this article, we refer to the currently known values of the Sinnoh Pokémon.
