'Pokemon Go' Tips: Leak Reveals Tier List Of Pokemon Strength Including Mewtwo/Legendaries

(Photo : OLM Inc./The Pokemon Company/Facebook) "Pokemon Go" has a tier list based on leaked details, and Dragonite is listed as the game's second most powerful Pokemon. The stats also suggest strange differences between the three legendary birds as well. "Pokemon Go" is available now on Android and iOS.

"Pokemon Go" players are obsessed with catching the game's strongest Pokemon, and a leaked tier list might offer some pretty helpful tips. One site has arranged the max CP of all 150 monsters including unseen legendaries like Mewtwo.

The discovery comes to Design & Trend via the unofficial "Pokemon Go" database. Following recent confirmation of IVs buried in the game's code, a full tier list has been made that offers a ballpark of Pokemon power.

The complete ranking can be viewed at the link above, but here are the game's 10 most powerful monsters. According to the creator, all calculations were made based on a level 40 trainer with individual values maxed out at 15.

1) Mewtwo 4144.75
2) Dragonite 3500.06
3) Mew 3299.17
4) Moltres 3240.47
5) Zapdos 3114.38
6) Snorlax 3112.85
7) Arcanine 2983.90
8) Lapras 2980.73
9) Articuno 2978.16
10) Exeggutor 2955.18

There are quite a few interesting discoveries here should these leaked numbers be accurate. For one, there's a sharp degree of difference between the game's three legendary birds. Moltres, which is the mascot of Team Valor, has almost 300 more CP than Mystic's Articuno. By contrast, Team Instinct's Zaapados is just 100 CP behind the fiery leader. Type match-ups can fluctuate effectiveness in battle, but these stats suggest that Valor is the technically the "strongest team."

Also worth noting is the fact that Mewtwo is clearly "Pokemon Go's" most formidable fighter with a 500 CP buffer on its next opponent. The famously rare Mew lags slightly behind as the third most powerful creature that the app has to over.

As for how these stats came to be, data miners located the individual values for the game's full roster late last week. In other words, it was found that every single Pokemon has specific stats for attack, defense and stamina that aren't shown to the player. Instead, they're all rolled in to CP to make things more digestible. Assuming it's correct, the linked tier list offers invaluable tips about which party members should be leveled up for the highest efficiency In battle.

That being said, all data mined stats should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially since these numbers aren't readily visible, they can be altered at any time. Legendaries can't be found yet either, so there could be additional tweaking on Niantic's behalf until the power order is finalized. Regardless, this list appears to reflect the reality of the game's current version.
