I hope they will do it but I would understand if they will just analize the move sets as before and ignore defender tiers since the metagame is centered around max CP in respect to gym defenders both from my experience and from what I read here.
Also I hope they will not waste time to create defending and atracking ranking movesets for about 80% of the mons, better focus on rating moves for prestiging in their case (for parasec for example).

Many people are waiting for this list.
I have said before it is worth the wait, and that I am sure they will be working on it....BUT

It has been a while now. Many of us have worked all of it out ourselves - so I would expect something to start showing up very soon.

It seems that all the other game pages on Gamepress are getting daily activity and updates. I don't know if it is the same team working on PoGo that also works on 'Fire Emblem Heores' or 'Shadowverse' pages - but they seem to be getting a lot of attention.

If something doesn't happen soon, then players will start relying on other pages, and Gamepress will start to fall in significance.
I like this site, I like their ratings...I am prepared to wait - but at some point we NEED the information, and if we can't get it here, then we will need to find alternatives.

I know the team is busy, and they do a great job - but I can understand why some players are becoming impatient over it.

Please team...I know it is PoGo, but don't take lessons in communication from Niantic.

The sad truth is... the only defender list you need, you can get it by:
1. Go to pokemon list
2. Sort by descending Max CP
3. Take legendaries out
4. Select the ones that have Max CP above 3K

There you have it. I know some of those have double weaknes, but in general is irrelevant, as the game "forces" you to put the highest CP pokemon that you can find, in order to get a better placement.

Yes, the gym is "weaker" and "easily taken down"... then again... every gym can be taken down easily by a determined attacker, so your best defense is putting your pokemon in a secluded area where not many people will attack it... followed closely by placing your pokemon as high as possible.

Sad I know, but true.

This guys has made an interesting one. It's not completely comprehensive, but reasonably accurate I would say.

I am still waiting for gamepress to release theirs though, with all move set rankings.
