Top 10 Highest Defense Pokemon (Gen 1 and Gen 2)
1.Shuckle
CP | 300 |
ATK | 17 |
DEF | 396 |
STA | 40 |
Shuckle’s absurd defense stat is overshadowed by his abysmal attack and max CP stats. Consider him a docile turtle. You won’t see much of this guy in gyms.
2. Steelix
CP | 2439 |
ATK | 148 |
DEF | 333 |
STA | 150 |
It looks like Steelix is going to be a beast of a defender with the release of Gen 2!.
3.Cloyster
CP | 2475 |
ATK | 186 |
DEF | 323 |
STA | 100 |
Cloyster has little if any value as an attacker. It is a useful bulwark as a gym defender against lower-level attackers, but unless you are really hard up you may never field Cloyster as part of an attack squad.
4. Onix
CP | 1002 |
ATK | 85 |
DEF | 288 |
STA | 70 |
Hopefully you’ve been saving those Onix candies! It can evolve to steelix which more qualify to become gym defender.
5. Mantine
CP | 2032 |
ATK | 148 |
DEF | 260 |
ST) | 130 |
The adorable manta ray Mantine’s defense stat is looking good. With a flying/water combo, this Pokémon is super weak to electric. Luckily there are no super powerful electric Pokémon available as of yet, but Jolteon can usually do the trick against Vaporeon. Look to see the same thing happen once this guy is put into gyms.
6. Skarmory
CP | 2032 |
ATK | 148 |
DEF | 260 |
STA | 130 |
With a flying type and steel type combo, Skarmory is weak against electric and fire. In addition, Skarmory can learn the pave bird which is the highest DPS move in Pokemon Go.
7. Umpeon
CP | 2052 |
ATK | 126 |
DEF | 250 |
STA | 190 |
Eevee’s iconic dark evolution, Umpeon looks to be a pretty great defender. Hopefully you have a lot of Eevees saved up to evolve!
8. Forretress
CP | 2263 |
ATK | 161 |
DEF | 242 |
STA | 150 |
With a name like Forretress, you would expect this Pokémon to be a great defender. With a bug/steel type, it will be interesting to see how many of these you see in gyms.
9. Tentacruel
CP | 2374 |
ATK | 166 |
DEF | 237 |
STA | 160 |
With a water/poison type, this pokemon is weak against electri,psychic and ground type pokemon.
10. Mr Mime
CP | 1984 |
ATK | 192 |
DEF | 233 |
STA | 80 |
Mr. Mime, a Psychic/Fairy Pokemon, is generally considered as a poor man’s version of the powerful Psychic-type Pokemon. Sadly, this stays the same in
Pokemon Go. Mr. Mime can be found in Europe, including the U.K. It’s usually found in city centers, similar to real mimes.
