Pokemon Go players know that the best ones usually dominate the gym battles. Here are some tips in picking the strongest gym fighters and defenders.

Catching and evolving Pokemon is only half the game. Trainers will also spend a lot of time sending their pets to battle other Pokemon in gyms. Victorious trainers also need to place their strongest ones to defend their gyms.

The ideal Pokemon gym fighter and defender should have the best stamina, attack and defense, according to The Silph Road. The Pokemon creatures that have the best of all three stats are the legendary ones.

Unfortunately, the Articuno and other known legendary creatures are not yet available in the game. Everybody is still waiting for Niantic's decision about them. Fortunately, there are a lot of powerful Pokemon creatures out there. Players just need to know them.

Pokemon With Good Overall Attack Stats

The best Pokemon in all three categories is Dragonite, followed by the Snorlax and Lapras. Dragonite is also the top Pokemon when it comes to attack stats. Second and third in the high attack stats is Flareon and Exeggutor.

Attack power alone is not enough to defeat the opponent, according to the Mirror. Attack speed is also a factor. This means that a lesser powerful but faster Pokemon can possibly defeat a stronger albeit slower opponent.

Pokemon With Best Defense And Stamina Stats

Take note that Dragonite is only second to Blastoise in terms of overall defense. Other notable Pokemon with very high defense stats are Hitmonchan and Venusaur. Gym battles could also be won by Pokemon creatures with the best stamina such as Chansey, Snorlax and Wigglytuff.

It is also important for trainers tp know which type of Pokemon to use in every battle, according to Mirror. Some strong Pokemon are ineffective when faced with a particular type of opponent.
