Gardevoir!

Metagross and Salamence are not yet released, so their inclusion is premature. Their defensive ability may turn out to be much better or worse than expected (like Slaking).

Oops, I missed out Gardevoir. Thanks!
But we already know Salamence has Dragon Tail and Metagross has Zen Headbutt. As for Slaking, nobody knew before that Yawn would do 0 damage.

Also, would you mind checking my reply on your previous question?

You got Slaking about right.

Should be C tier. Decent bulk with paltry damage output. Play Rough hurts the top 3 generalists though, that's why it's not off the list.

The S+ tier is so true, although I'd argue that Golden Razz Berries might be in a tier of its own lol.

What about Aggron? Think he might pack a punch as a defender?

Double fighting weakness. Aggron would be about the same as Tyranitar on the tier list.

y do u care defence has no use In my oppinon larvitar is the best as I need the candies

Because i live in an area with one of the highest pogo player (and spoofer) density in the world, and gyms flip really fast

Salamence?????
Hahahah

It seems the list is mostly arranged by time it takes?
The worst defenders to encounter now seem to be the ones that kill your attackers faster, because revives and potions are more rare now (unless you do raids). In that aspect, the C- Tier is quite effective.
