Playing Pokémon GO means competing with millions of players that winning seems becoming more and more difficult. But a community of gamers have decided to dig deeper than usual and discovered that better chance of achieving victory in battles lies on invisible base statistics.
The numbers to be concerned about, according to Gizmodo, are the Pokémon capabilities that cover . Case in a point is a Gym battle pitting two monsters with nearly identical CP levels. While the player's skill is definitely a factor to win it is the base stats that will largely determine the outcome of the duel.
So it makes sense that players hunt for the Legendaries such as for they are indeed battle beasts. But these monsters are still unavailable so players are left to pick from the pocket monsters already on the roster.
Thankfully, The Silph Road - a gathering of Pokémon GO players gunning for optimal gameplay of the game - did the hard work for most of the regular players out there and provided the Attack, Defense and Stamina stats of existing Pokémon (accessible here).
The group's research works established who so far are the beasts among the Pokémon - the ones that players can actually catch and deploy to Gym showdowns. The Silph Road identified these pocket monsters as Dragonite, Snorlax, Lapras, Arcanine and Blastoise. When the object is to win a fight, these are the monsters to pick as they pack "the best combined stats," to date the group said.
Now if the object is to get a hold of the best Eevee evolution, then players should only zero in on Vaporeon. The Mon is the best of the class, per the research by The Silph Road.
And knowing this fresh new hack, the next thing to do is to find ways to spot these rare Pokémon a bit easier and hopefully catch them. The tool for such a mission could be the Reddit project by GO players that basically make use of the Google Map, BGR said in a report. The guide can be viewed here.
It's far from an easy work but according to the same report: "Once completed, the process will display a Google Maps view of all the mon, Poké Stops and gyms. The best thing about it is that you can filter by specific items, although some coding is required."
It is likely too that once MewTwo, Moltres and Zapdos, and the rest of rare Pokémon or Legendaries are ready to play, gamers will find this new hack quite useful.
