The best Pokémon of each type
For each of the 18 types, the Pokémon of that type with the highest base stat total. A Pokémon with two types appears under both. Every species in its standard form.
Base stats are not everything. Moves, abilities, items, types, teamwork and a good strategy often matter more than any single number. Many of the top spots go to Legendary Pokémon. Base stat total is one way to compare Pokémon, not the only one.
Ties share a rank (shown as “=”), and inside a tie the lower Pokédex number comes first. Standard forms only: Mega Evolutions and other forms are not included.
