Shadow Mewtwo

Attack: 300

Shadow Mewtwo's legendary status is well-earned. Initially one of the strongest Pokémon requiring a nerf, it remains a top contender in raids and PvP, showcasing its enduring power.

Mega Gallade

Attack: 326

Mega Gallade boasts impressive power, though not the strongest Mega Evolution. Psychic and Close Combat moves deliver significant blows, but its vulnerability to Dark and Flying types, and its type combination, slightly limit its overall effectiveness. Its high Attack and CP, however, make it a valuable asset.

Mega Gardevoir

Attack: 326

Mega Gardevoir excels with its move set and high Attack, particularly effective against Dragon types. Its inability to be a Gym defender is a notable drawback.

Mega Charizard Y

Attack: 319

Mega Charizard Y's Fire Spin and Blast Burn combination is devastating. Access to Solar Beam, especially in sunny weather, significantly boosts its potential. Its high Attack stat solidifies its top-tier status.

Dusk Mane Necrozma

Attack: 277

While not possessing the highest Attack, Dusk Mane Necrozma's Sunsteel Strike delivers explosive damage. Its effectiveness against Steel types is situationally dependent.

Shadow Heatran

Attack: 251

Shadow Heatran's Fire and Steel attacks are highly effective against Water and Ground types, making it a valuable asset.

Rayquaza

Attack: 284

Rayquaza's Dragon Tail energy generation combined with Outrage or Hurricane delivers devastating blows. It excels against Ice and Dragon types.

Mega Salamence

Attack: 310

Mega Salamence's vulnerability to Ice-type attacks is its primary weakness. However, its immense power and high defense for an attacker make it a top Mega Evolution.

Mega Gengar

Attack: 349

Mega Gengar's Sludge Bomb, benefiting from STAB, deals significant damage. Its effectiveness in fast-paced battles is amplified by its powerful attacks. Shadow Ball provides devastating late-game damage.

Mega Alakazam

Attack: 367

Mega Alakazam's high Attack stat, combined with Counter, Psychic, and Shadow Ball, makes it a top-tier Psychic-type Pokémon.

Shadow Rhyperior

Attack: 241

Shadow Rhyperior's high Attack and CP make it a formidable damage dealer. While weak to Water, Grass, and Ground types, its overall strength compensates.

Mega Garchomp

Attack: 339

Mega Garchomp's Earthquake and Draco Meteor are devastating, especially effective against Fire and Electric types. While a strong Mega Evolution, it lacks unique standout features compared to others.

Mega Blaziken

Attack: 329

Mega Blaziken rivals Mega Charizard Y, utilizing Fire Spin and Blast Burn effectively. Its high CP, DPS, and Attack make it a top choice.

Mega Lucario

Attack: 310

Mega Lucario's already impressive base form is amplified significantly in its Mega Evolution. Counter and Power-Up Punch, along with Aura Sphere's massive damage output, make it a dominant force.

Primal Groudon

Attack: 353

Primal Groudon's immense power, high Attack stat, and boosted Ground, Grass, and Fire attacks make it an unparalleled force. Obtaining it requires significant effort.

Primal Kyogre

Attack: 353

Primal Kyogre's vulnerability to Electric and Grass types is offset by its Waterfall energy generation and devastating Origin Pulse or Blizzard attacks. It excels against Fire and Ground types.

Mega Tyranitar

Attack: 309

Mega Tyranitar's Dark/Rock typing and high Attack make it the best in its type combination. While weak to Water and Grass, its raw power compensates. The cost of the elite move Smack Down is a notable drawback.

Shadow Salamence

Attack: 277

Shadow Salamence's effectiveness against Grass types, combined with Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor, and Outrage, makes it a fearsome opponent.

Dawn Wings Necrozma

Attack: 277

Dawn Wings Necrozma boasts a high Attack stat and excellent move set. Psycho Cut and Shadow Claw (or Future Sight) make it a formidable PvE attacker.

Mega Rayquaza

Attack: 377

Mega Rayquaza's astronomically high Attack stat makes it a top-tier attacker. With a well-optimized moveset (like Outrage + Aerial Ace), its power is unmatched.

This list showcases 20 Pokémon with exceptionally high Attack stats in Pokémon GO. While Attack is crucial, remember that weaknesses, available moves, and team synergy are equally important for effective battle strategies. Use this information to build a stronger team and enhance your gameplay!
