Are you ready for the arm wrestling?


             Hi, Trainers...

 
Isn’t today a beautiful day to become A CHAMPION? You and I know that competing in a Player vs. Player(PVP) Battle in Pokémon Go is nice, but winning is even better, so to make you a legendary Trainer, I’m bringing you…
 
…THE TOP 15 OVERPOWERED POKÉMONS FOR YOUR “POKÉMON GO” PLAYER VS. PLAYER!
 
Note: Since there are 3 different Leagues, I’m placing them according to their respective Leagues, so, exemplifying it, I’m not comparing the 15th Pokémon to the 4th one, because they represent different Leagues on this list.
 
 
So let’s GO(Pun always intended)! 
 
 

15. MACHAMP 

No! This isn’t Perry the Platypus after bodybuilding... 
 
Say “hey” to Machamp, the Fighting-type Pokémon who got the 15th position on this list! The evolved form of Machoke, who’s the evolved form of Machop. 
 
A Good Choice For
  • Ultra League
 
What MACHAMP Excels In 
As a Fighting-type, Machamp’s Moves are incredibly good and fast. Its Quick Move provides high damage and generates lots of energy to increase its Main Move. Machamp is great to fight against Pokémons like Snorlax, who’s very present in this league, and takes a long time to be defeated.
 
MACHAMP’s Best Attacks For Your PVP
  • Quick Move: Counter
  • Main Move: Dynamic Punch
 
MACHAMP's Weaknesses
  • Nobody is perfect! Machand is weak against Fairy and Psychic types
 
Catch MACHAMP!
  • Wild catch and Field Research 
 
 

14. FLYGON

Being a Dragon-type Pokémon already makes from Flygon a very strong Pokémon; the available Moves for this type of Pokémons are very interesting! Types: Dragon and Ground.
 
A Good Choice For
  • Ultra League 
 
What FLYGON Excels In 
The ground-type also brings to Flygon more resistance, and yea, it is not the most resistant one in this League, but it is great to hit shields using Quick Moves. It can even beat an adversary by only using Quick Moves. Who’s the boss? Flygon is the boss!
 
FLYGON’s Best Attacks For Your Player vs. Player
  • Quick Move: Dragon Tail
  • Main Move: Dragon Claw/Earthquake
 
FLYGON’s Weaknesses
  • Weak against the types: Fairy, Ice and Dragon 
 
Catch FLYGON!
  • Wild Catch and Field Research, in the forms of Trapinch and Vibrava.
 
 

13. LUGIA

Lugia is a legendary Pokémon who never disappoints. It belongs to the Psychic and Flying types.
 
A Good Choice For
  • Ultra League 
 
What LUGIA Excels In 
This Pokémon has a Dragon-type Quick Move available, which generates tones of energy to charge Lugia's ultra powerful Main Move even faster. This Pokémon can also make the Dragon-types beg for their lives!

  • Quick Move: Dragon Tail
  • Main Move: Aeroblast

12. CHARIZARD

When I was a kid, I hated Ash Ketchum’s Charizard, because it was never awake. Now I think to myself: Oh my God, what an amazing lifestyle that Pokémon has! I know, we are all Charizards… 
 
If you want to see resistance and a great attack rate, this Fire-type/Flying-type is  your Pokémon! 
 
A Good Choice For
  • Ultra League 

 
What CHARIZARD Excels In 
Going against all the possible logic, Charizard isn't a Dragon-type, what's a total advantage in this particular case, because it doesn't have the Dragon-type's Weaknesses, but it can use some of the Dragon-type's Moves. 
 
CHARIZARD’s Best Attacks For Your PVP
  • Quick Move: Fire Spin 
  • Main Move: Dragon Claw and Overheat
 
CHARIZARD Weaknesses

  • Winning three player vs. player battles! 
 
 
 

11. SYLVEON

This Pokémon is a Fairy-type one, and picking it in Ultra League is a very smart choice, due to the big incidence of Dragon-type and Fighting-type Pokémons, there.
 
A Good Choice For
  • Ultra League 
 
What SYLVEON Excels In 
Sylveon is only weak against two types, and has a strong Quick Move, although its Main Move it's a bit slow. It also has a good resistance against other Pokémons' Moves.

SYLVEON’s Weaknesses

What TOGEKISS Excels In                                                                       Be sure: Every Team will have at least one Dragon-type to be defeated by Togekiss.
