Raid & Master League Report Card August 2020

This grading policy looks at Pokemon useful in both Raid and PvP content, specifically the Master League, because Pokemon need to be maxed for the best results in each. This semester, up to 75 points can be awarded for performance in the Master League, up to 20 points are awarded for general use based on the Attackers Tier List, and up to 30 points are awarded for announced upcoming Legendary and Mega Raid Bosses (3 per boss). All non-Shadow Pokemon receive 2 points extra credit if they have a Mega Evolution.

Using this evaluation, Pokemon viable in both types of content are graded and ranked below. This list is highly subjective but aims to look at the best places to use resources. You won't find Pokemon like Melmetal and Snorlax here whose use is limited to PvP only. You also won't find several powerful raiding Pokemon like Chandelure or Shadow Salamence with 0 PvP utility.

For additional information on each Pokemon, check out the above resources or each Pokemon's individual pages.

Our rankings currently do not account for the Premier Cup. The next iteration of this ranking as well as our on-site ratings, will likely accommodate the Premier Cup in the Future. Additionally, as Mega Pokemon cannot currently be used in the Go Battle League, our rankings do not include them either.
