pokemon ratings

i just had a scroll through the pokemon list looking at their rating out of 5 and found some interesting results, it turns out that nidoqueen sandslash clefable magneton and cloyster (4/5) are twice as good as gyarados(2/5) even before it got waterfall gyarados was better than sandslash. why is this have i missed something also why is blissey a 5 out of 5 given how little defence matters in the game

Gyarados is 5/5. Were you looking at Magikarp instead?

As for Blissey, defence still matters in high turnover areas. That's why it's still rated so high.

On Gyarados's page, it says 5/5. Perhaps there's something wrong with the summary page you are showing. I'll ask the team to fix

Gyarados does not deserve absolutely 2. For me at least 4, even 4.5.

Nidoqueen sandslash and clefable are useless, they should have two stars.

The rating system should be changed so only fully evolved pokemon are rated. So dugtrio, raticate, butterfree etc. can have one star like they deserve. Magneton and cloyster should be 3 stars.

Reall good pokemon should have 4 stars, not useless pokemon.

Cloyster deserves better than 3, as a good and cheap Dragonite slayer (Salamence and Rayquaza too in the near future)

It's only a dragon slayer though and atm there's not much use for that! Plus you need snow for the weather boost, we're lucky to get snow once a year in Britain!

Maybe Cloyster deserves 3.5 stars :D

So what? It doesn't deserve less than Lapras.

Why do we need the weather boost? And here we're lucky to get snow once in a millenium.

Except in a certain part of Jurong East.

More seriously, Lapras is a good defender and Cloyster is not.

Only fully evolved species deserve ratings? Try telling that to Chansey and Scyther.

A lot of the ratings look outdated.

Hi, the team hasn't updated ratings for all Pokemon yet. Only those marked "Updated for Gen 3" on the top of their page have been updated.
The rating is for the use of attacker only. For Pokemon who are meant to be defenders (like Blissey), we plan to give them a "Defender Badge" instead. It is still being implemented.
Besides, some ratings of the summary page (https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/pokemon-list) are wrong. Please look at the rating of the individual Pokemon's page first.
