Highest CP Pokémon in Pokémon GO 2021: Top-5 List

The highest CP Pokémon GO 2021 list is here to breakdown the strongest Pokémon in the game based on Combat Power.

For those looking for the potential best Pokémon to use, the maximum CP stat can be a helpful guide as it is essentially a combination of the Attack, Defense, and Stamina stats of a Pokémon. While different Pokémon all have varying base stats, Pokémon with higher CP values have greater multiples of the base stats.

Highest CP Pokémon in Pokémon GO 2021: Top-5 List

Here are the Top-5 strongest Pokémon in Pokémon GO based on CP in 2021:

1. Slaking: Max CP 4431 (5010 with XL Candies)
2. Regigigas: Max CP 4346 (4913 with XL Candies)
3. Mewtwo: Max CP 4178 (4724 with XL Candies)
4. Kyogre/Groudon: Max CP 4115 (4652 with XL Candies)
5. Zekrom/Reshiram/Dialga: Max CP 4038 (4565 with XL Candies)

As shown above, at the time of writing, Slaking is alone in first, Regigigas and Mewtwo slide in at second and third, while Kyogre and Groudon tie for fourth, and Zekron, Reshiram and Dialga tie for fifth.

It is important to note, however, that Combat Power doesn't exactly automatically equate to these five being the best to use in Pokémon GO, as movesets and pure attack stats definitely limit the likes of Regigigas and Slaking from being effective and widely used by trainers in competitive leagues.

For instance, according to PvPoke, the best Pokémon overall across multiple roles to use in Master League are:

1. Lugia (XL)
2. Melmetal (XL)
3. Dialga (XL)
4. Yveltal (XL)
5. Ho-Oh (XL)
