![]() ![]() but Pokémon Go nerfed it hard before releasing it as part of Gen 3. Slaking would have had a CP that soared over 5000 - Five. (Especially because the even more powerful, and legendary, Articuno can't be placed into Gyms.)īest movesets: Frost Breath + Blizzard or Ice Beam Slaking Now that CP isn't the be-all, end-off of Gym defense, Lapras' tankiness brings it back into play. Lapras is back, baby! After being an early defensive favorite, Larpas' lack of CP - and a subsequent loss of CP - put it out of contention in the old Gym system. Now, Steelix can defend with some of the best of them - and look awesome while doing it.Įvolve: 50 Onix candies + Metal Coat from Onix to Steelix.īest movesets: Dragon Tail + Heavy Slam. Steelix always had great defensive potential but the old, CP-based system never let him show it off. When that happens, you need to mix things up to make the Gym as challenging as possible. Milotic is worth it.Įvolve: 100 Candies from Feebas to Milotic, plus walk with the Feebas as your Buddy for 20km.īest movesets: Dragon Tail + Blizzard or Surf The next best defendersīecause you can only have one of each kind of Pokémon in a Gym now, it's not uncommon to come across a Gym with empty slots, but with Blissey, Snorlax, Chansey, and Slaking already taken. It's a bit challenging to evolve one, as you have to walk the already-rare Feebas for kilometers on end, but if you get a good Feebas with solid IVs, get hiking. It's a gloriously tanky water-type with some additional Dragon and Ice-type moves that make it more powerful than any other non-legendary water-type at holding its ground in a Gym. With the introduction of Generation 3 came Milotic, but it's only recently begun to realize its true potential as a top Gym Defender as the meta has shifted. Like Blissey, Chansey is vulnerable to Fighter-types like Machamp, so Dazzling Gleam with hurt them as they hurt it.īest movesets: Zen Headbutt + Dazzling Gleam. In fact, lower CP and high HP can make Chansey the best defender in many cases. And since CP doesn't matter anymore, neither does Chansey's lack of CP. In other words, Chansey is a big, pink wall. ChanseyĬhasey is a slightly less tanky version of Blissey, which still makes it more tanky than almost all other Pokémon in the current game. It doesn't quite have the HP of Blissey, but since you can't have multiple Blissey in a Gym anymore, you're going to want a Snorlax as well.Įspecially if you have the legacy Body Slam move.īest movesets: Zen Headbutt + Heavy Slam (Zen Headbutt + Body Slam if you have it). There are, in point of fact, few Pokémon as well rounded when it comes to defense as Snorlax. But that doesn't make it any less powerful. (Spoiler: There's a baby Munchlax coming in Gen 4!). Snorlax doesn't have any evolutions, at least not yet. Blissey is vulnerable to Fighters, especially Machamp, but Dazzling Gleam will punish them all the way down.Įvolve: 50 candies from Chansey to Blissey.īest movesets: Pound or Zen Headbutt + Dazzling Gleam. ![]()
