Shadow Mewtwo
Attack: 300
Shadow Mewtwo's legendary status is well-earned. Once requiring a nerf due to overwhelming power, this Psychic-type remains a top contender in raids and PvP.
Mega Gallade
Attack: 326
While not the strongest Mega Evolution, Mega Gallade's Psychic and Close Combat moves pack a punch. Its vulnerabilities to Dark and Flying types, however, limit its overall effectiveness.
Mega Gardevoir
Attack: 326
Mega Gardevoir excels with its move set and high Attack, particularly effective against Dragon types. Its inability to defend Gyms is a significant drawback.
Mega Charizard Y
Attack: 319
Mega Charizard Y utilizes Fire Spin and Blast Burn for devastating damage, enhanced further by Solar Beam in sunny weather. Its incredibly high Attack stat solidifies its top-tier status.
Dusk Mane Necrozma
Attack: 277
Dusk Mane Necrozma's Sunsteel Strike delivers explosive damage, despite a slightly lower Attack stat compared to others on this list. Its effectiveness against Steel types is situational.
Shadow Heatran
Attack: 251
Shadow Heatran efficiently generates energy and deals significant damage with Fire and Steel attacks, particularly effective against Water and Ground types.

Attack: 284
Rayquaza's Outrage or Hurricane deliver devastating blows, while Dragon Tail ensures rapid energy accumulation. This powerful Dragon-type excels against Ice and Dragon opponents.
Mega Salamence
Attack: 310
Mega Salamence's vulnerability to Ice-type attacks is its only significant weakness. Otherwise, this Dragon-type boasts immense power and a rare combination of high Attack and Defense.
Mega Gengar
Attack: 349
Mega Gengar's Sludge Bomb, boosted by STAB, delivers significant damage. Its Shadow Ball is particularly effective in later stages of battle.
Mega Alakazam
Attack: 367
Mega Alakazam's impressive Attack, combined with Counter, Psychic, and Shadow Ball, makes it a top-tier Psychic-type, second only to Mega Mewtwo Y.
Shadow Rhyperior
Attack: 241
Shadow Rhyperior's high Attack and CP make it a formidable damage dealer, despite its weaknesses to Water, Grass, and Ground types.
Mega Garchomp
Attack: 339
Mega Garchomp's Earthquake and Draco Meteor are devastating, particularly effective against Fire and Electric types. While a strong Mega Evolution, it lacks standout features compared to others.
Mega Blaziken
Attack: 329
A rival to Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blaziken uses Fire Spin and Blast Burn for immense damage, complemented by its high CP and DPS.
Mega Lucario
Attack: 310
Already strong in its base form, Mega Lucario's Counter and Power-Up Punch make it a dominant force, with Aura Sphere delivering massive damage.
Primal Groudon
Attack: 353
Primal Groudon's immense Attack, powerful moveset, and elemental boosts make it an unparalleled force, though acquiring it requires considerable effort.
Primal Kyogre
Attack: 353
Primal Kyogre's Waterfall allows rapid energy generation for Origin Pulse or Blizzard, making it highly effective against Fire and Ground types.
Mega Tyranitar
Attack: 309
Mega Tyranitar's Dark and Rock typing makes it the best in its elemental category, despite its vulnerabilities to Water and Grass types. The high cost of Smack Down is a drawback.
Shadow Salamence
Attack: 277
Shadow Salamence's combination of Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor, and Outrage makes it exceptionally effective against Grass types.
Dawn Wings Necrozma
Attack: 277
Dawn Wings Necrozma boasts high Attack and an excellent moveset, with Psycho Cut and Shadow Claw (or Future Sight) making it a devastating damage dealer.
Mega Rayquaza
Attack: 377
Mega Rayquaza's astronomically high Attack stat makes it capable of defeating almost any opponent. A well-optimized moveset further amplifies its power.
This list highlights Pokémon with exceptional Attack stats in Pokémon GO. Remember that effective battling requires considering weaknesses, movesets, and team synergy, not just Attack power alone.
