Pokémon GO has finally arrived in Malaysia! With everyone going around building their ultimate Pokémon team, we at GamerBraves have decided to put together everything you need to know about Pokémon GO!
Each Pokémon has Combat Power (CP) and Hit Points (HP), and we’ll be covering for you a list about CP gains per Power Up for the strongest Pokémon in the game. Note that S-Tier = Highest Tier and F-Tier = Lowest Tier, and that the actual amount may vary slightly due to the Pokémon’s IV (Individual Values). This list will help you get the strongest Pokémon you’ll need to ‘be the very best’!
