I just discovered PokeBattler, and I have a question.

When determining which mon is best for a raid boss with a specific move set, should I be looking at overall rating, power rating, or damage given?

EDIT: I realize I could've been more clear in my original question, but basically I input all my best attackers for a specific raid boss (with movesets, IVs, level) and now I'm trying to compare the numbers and pick my squads.

I look at Time to Win which is DPS...

I thought of something many likely already considered (especially if a solo attempt). Since you get a pass for an hour, send in a guinea squad first to ascertain the boss' fast and charge move. Then decide your ideal real squad, and/or run through Pokebattler or what not. Hour is a long time.

Thanks! So should I always go with DPS or should I give consideration to the other categories?

I actually don't understand how DPS matters more than damage given, for example. Does DPS take into account how long a Pokemon can survive due to resistances, etc?

In 90% of my solo attempts I end up timing out rather than running through my 6 mons. So doing damage faster is more important than trying to stay alive. A lot of times I don't even get to my 6th guy.

So DPS is important so you know who will do damage faster, so in theory you can use more guys in the allotted time.

I'm sorry if I'm being obtuse, but I still don't understand how damage given is less relevant/important than DPS.

Wouldn't damage given factor in staying alive longer and having more seconds in which to give damage?
