Pokemon GP rating out of 10
Thoughts on how to interpret ratings?
Answers
While I appreciate the ratings on here and the Tier Lists I take it with a grain of salt. It is a good starting point and gives you an idea on where to start.
But I mostly use personal experience with gym battles to figure things out. For example for Espeon they list Confusion/Psychic as a "D" move for defense. That might be true when based on defensive DPS but dodging Psychic can be very difficult if you don't have a lot of practice and aren't concentrating. It might be Espeon's "D" move but I wouldn't hesitate to power up a good Espeon with that moveset for D if you got it.
Espeon hits like a truck and missing a dodge on a Psychic is no joke. I actually have a maxed out Alakazam with C/Psychic too. I know when people battle my guys they will be taking a lot of damage. Any lag or delay on dodging and they are done.
