A Guide to Pokémon GO Part 1: Pokémon CP and Tier List

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’!

How do I get Pokémon with the highest CP & IV?

Step 1: Pick a Pokémon with high CP gain per Power Up from the list above.

Step 2: After choosing the right Pokémon for you, find and catch it from the Pokémon GO Spawn Locations Guide.

Step 3: Determine the IV of the Pokémon you caught, get the highest one possible (Use IV calculator to input your Pokémon’s information, it will be given an IV rating).

Step 4: Start training with your Pokémon with the highest IV rating and take over local gyms!
