Hi Trainers! You may have seen that our rebuilt, redesigned and refreshed database launched in mid-September of 2023. We are really proud of this database, lots of hard work has gone into it and it serves as a valuable resource for Trainers across the globe.
Introducing the new Pokémon GO Database ⭐ ! Our https://t.co/CljuZTnhPN has been completely redesigned, rebuilt, and refreshed. Includes stats, move analysis, PvP IVs, raid counters, IV, CP and HP charts, and it even has it's own version of "Who's that Pokémon?" game! pic.twitter.com/YNuOe90f4j

In this article, I wanted to give you a quick overview of the database so that you can make the most of it and find all the features that will be useful for you!
The footer of our database also includes all of the menu quick links, so you can navigate to parts of the website easily from whatever you’re looking at!
From the menu you can view
- Pokémon by generation
- Pokémon by type
- Best attackers by type
- You can search for a Pokémon in the ‘configuration’ tab to return its best counters of the selected type
- Option to toggle Mega, Shadow and Primal Pokémon in the ‘Configuration’ tab
- All Fast and Charged moves – for PVE and PVP
- Buddy distances
- List of Pokémon categorised by how far you need to walk for them to find a candy.
You can search for a Pokémon using the search bar at the top of the page. Alternatively, clicking the Pokémon tiles in our articles, such as the one below, will take you to its database entry.

Stats
The Overview page will show you the Pokémons base stats, as well as lots of other useful information for quick reference including the following:
- Buddy walking distance for earning candy
- What weather will boost the Pokémon
- Whether the shiny has been released in Pokémon GO
- The Pokémon family (and evolution requirements)
- What Mega Pokémon will boost the Pokémon
- Catch rates
- Sprites (including shiny sprites!)
Moves
For Trainers interested in optimising their performance for PVE and PVP, the ‘moves’ tab has a best moveset, fast move and charged move guide.
The best moveset guide can be optimised with weather boost and opponent Pokémon. Move guides also have a type coverage chart, which can be useful when preparing PVP teams to ensure that you can cover any of your weakness with your other Pokémon.
Counters
In the ‘counters’ tab, you will find ranked Pokémon best suited to battle the Pokémon you are looking at. At the top of the list is the overall best counter, with its moveset and a chart of best performing move types for quick reference.
A table will be generated displaying a list of best counters in Pokémon GO with their Fast Attacks, Charged Attacks, DPS (damage per second), TDO (total damage output), faints, TTW (time to win), and score. The list is sorted by the score, which is calculated based on the DPS and TDO. This list can be altered in the simulation settings, to toggle Mega, Primal and Shadow Pokémon and set weather, raid difficulty and attacker parameters. However, for raids you can leave everything as it is and just change the raid difficulty.
A quick note on our rankings
When calculating the best counters for any Pokémon, our simulator takes into account various factors, such as the defender’s typing and average DPS against each attacker, the weather’s influence, energy left over from using charge moves, Shadow Pokémon attack and defence stat changes, and more. During the initial phase of simulations, we calculate DPS and TDO for each attacker that is currently available in the game, and then we continue to rank them.
We use a ranking method developed by a Reddit user named /u/Elastic_Space, which is described in detail in this Reddit post. It is a fairly complicated, but very well-thought-out mathematical model for predicting simulation results without actually running the simulations. It also correlates with field data almost too well not to be used.
Our Time to Win (TTW) and Faint numbers are also estimated and should be taken with a grain of salt. Since we do not account for factors like Friendship and Mega damage boost, they will differ from actual experience in the field.
CP + IV
Pokémon can have different Combat Power (CP), Individual Values (IVs), and Health (HP) when caught from a Research encounter, Raid encounter, and as a GO Battle League reward encounter.
- Field and Special Research encounters are always Level 15. IVs range from 10 (min) to 15 (max). Field Research encounters have a 10/10/10 IV floor.
- Pokémon hatched from Eggs are always Level 20. IVs range from 10 (min) to 15 (max). Egg Hatches have a 10/10/10 IV floor.
- Raid Bosses caught without weather boost are always Level 20. IVs range from 10 (min) to 15 (max). Raid Catches have a 10/10/10 IV floor.
- Raid Bosses caught with weather boost are always Level 25. IVs range from 10 (min) to 15 (max). Weather-boosted Raid Catches have a 10/10/10 IV floor.
- Pokémon encountered in Wild encounters range from Level 1 to Level 30 Pokémon. Their IVs range from 0 (min) to 15 (max) for each stat.
- Weather Boosted wild Pokémon encounters get a 5 Level boost, bringing their Level range to Level 6 to Level 35. In addition, they have a guaranteed minimum IV value of 4 for each stat, resulting in a 4/4/4 IV floor.
Our database shows an overview of min. and max. CP per level for each of the above encounters. The IV chart shows the expected CP of a Pokémon per IV, for each of the encounter types and its CP when maxed out.
We have a CP per level chart where a complete table with Min. and Max. CP can be found. The table shows Minimum and Maximum Combat Power from Level 1 to Level 50.
PVP IVs & Moves
Looking to dominate your competition in Pokémon GO Trainer Battles? You’ll want to make sure your Pokémon has the right IVs for GO Battle League. Using the ‘PVP Ivs & Moves’ tab you can find the top IV combinations for each League in GO Battle League, helping you rise to the top of the ranks.
Compare side-by-side any number of Pokémon in Pokémon GO to evaluate their DPS, TDO and overall score with any imaginable move set. A perfect resource for players looking to understand the best movesets for their Pokémon and make informed decisions for gameplay and strategy.
You can search a Pokémon and add its movesets and weather type and click ‘compare’. You can add multiple Pokémon to this list to compare DPS (damage per second) and TDO (total damage output).
A special mention – one of my favourite bits of the new database is the Who’s that Pokémon game! If you’re looking for something to keep you busy for some time, or wanting to test your Pokémon knowledge this is the game for you! The game automatically has 10 seconds per question but you can turn the timer off in the settings. If you give it a go we would love to know your top score!
Before we go, some other useful bits and bobs include a shiny checklist of all shinies released in Pokémon GO, an easy reference type chart and a Pokédex showing all released and unreleased Pokémon for easy reference.
We hope you love the database as much as we do. If you have any questions or feedback we would love to hear from you!
