FAQ

Q. What is this ranking based on?

Each Pokémon's score = Attack stat × Max Move Power (350 for standard Max Moves, 450 for Gigantamax) × STAB (1.2× if the attacker matches the Max Move type). Pokémon are sorted in descending order of this Attack Index within each Max Move type. Type effectiveness, IVs, weather, HP and bulk are NOT factored in.

Q. Does the ranking include type effectiveness (weaknesses / resistances)?

No. For real-battle damage with type effectiveness and an overall A+ to D tier, see /en/maxbattle-rating-summary/. For boss-specific counters, see /en/maxbattle-guide/. This page answers: "Under equal conditions, which Pokémon hits the hardest Max Move?"

Q. Can I exclude Legendary and Gigantamax Pokémon?

Yes. Use the "Legendary" and "G-Max" toggles at the top of the page. Turning both off leaves only regular, easier-to-obtain attackers. The chart and static tables update simultaneously.

Q. Why are Mega Evolutions not included?

Mega Evolutions cannot participate in Max Battles, so they are always excluded. For regular raid rankings, see /en/type-ranking/.

Q. How is STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) applied?

STAB of 1.2× is applied when the attacker's Type 1 or Type 2 matches the Max Move's type. Qualifying rows show a STAB badge and the full calculation, e.g. "Attack × 350 × 1.2".
