"Reminder: Feraligatr with hydro cannon will be the second best water type in terms of DPS."

#PokemonGO: Having done this post before super effectiveness changes, I had to do this again with revised numbers. Not much has changed except Gyarados goes above Palkia, because Palkia doesn't have any fast attacks that deals super effective damage to the pokemon against which water types are used.The following analysis is done on GoBattleSim by considering average of 1000 simulations of 6 units of maxed out attackers against tier 3 raid boss Fire Spin / Overheat Flareon in neutral weather.​AttackerMovesetTime to win in secondsNumber of deathsKyogreWaterfall / Hydro Pump1152FeraligatrWaterfall / Hydro Cannon1283GyaradosWaterfall / Hydro Pump1313FloatzelWaterfall / Hydro Pump1395Palkia*Dragon Tail / Hydro Pump1362Swampert*Water Gun / Hydro Cannon1263Notes:This analysis doesn't cater for pvp simulations.Unfortunately, the legacy water gun Feraligatr can't learn hydro cannon as stated by Niantic, which would have made Feraligatr slightly better as water gun as better EPS to charge hydro cannon faster.I also threw Palkia and Swampert simulations in there, even though they aren't out yet just to show how good they will be.Do keep in mind that Palkia has double resistance to fire attacks.Sharpedo has comparable DPS to Gyarados, but due to its terrible defense stats, it cannot consistently beat Flareon with such strong moves.Assuming that Swampert will also get hydro cannon, Feraligatr will stay the second best water type until Mudkip community day. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2Rj4C7V
