Max CP: 2,995
Exeggutor comes in both Grass and Psychic types and is a really well balanced Pokémon. His Psychic attack is effective against most Pokémon except Dark, Psychic, and Steel. His Grass offense isn’t very effective with Bug, Dragon, Fire, Flying, Grass, Poison, and Steel types. That’s a ton! Clearly you’ll hope to get the Psychic type.
Exeggutor has stamina of 190, a great offense of 232, and a decent defense of 164.

While he’s not a very fast attacker, Lapras has high health and is one of the best defensive Pokémon you can have at a gym. He’s a Water/Ice type, and his Water offense is the best since it’s effective against most Pokémon except for Dragon, Grass, and Water types.
Also, only Ice types aren’t very effective against Lapras’ Ice type defense, so you should hope for that Water type. Lapras has stamina of 260, offense of 186, and defense of 190.

Number 3 in the most powerful Pokémon list is Arcanine, a Fire type that evolves from Growlithe. All of his moves are fast, powerful, and he’s great to attack any gym with given he has a 230 offense. He also has decent stamina and defense with 180 each.
Arcanine’s Fire moves are very effective against Bug, Grass, Ice, and Steel types, while his defense is effective against Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice, and Steel types.
Plus, look at that guy. He’s super cool looking. It’s like a tiger and a lion and a dog had a kick-ass bearded baby.
2. Snorlax

Snorlax has an insane stamina of 320, so he’s great to defend any gym. And with an offense and defense of 180 each, it’s tough bringing this sleepy guy down – making him the second most powerful Pokémon in the game.
He’s a Normal type Pokémon, so his offense isn’t super effective on any certain kind of Pokémon, and his defense is only very useful against Ghost types. The good news about all that is when it comes to Snorlax, you don’t really have to think too much about which Pokémon he’ll be good or bad against. He’s basically the most well rounded Pokémon in the game.

The most powerful Pokémon in Pokémon GO is Dragonite, which evolves from Dragonair and is the most desirable Pokémon you can have, at least until Mewtwo is released. And even then, Dragonite has a higher defense with 212 to Mewtwo’s 202. Also, with an attack of 250 and high stamina of 182, he can attack or defend any gym effectively.
Dragonite’s Dragon offense is best against other Dragon types and his defense works best against Electric, Fire, Grass, and Water. Dragonite’s Flying offense is best against Bug, Fighting, and Grass types, while his Flying defense is best against Bug, Fighting, Grass, and Ground.
