"A look at the Generation 5 Raid Meta Impacts (With a focus on Draft)"
#PokemonGO: Gen 5 has been discussed here and there already but I wanted to take some time to highlight the levels at which Gen 5 will impact the raid meta and more interestingly, the raid draft meta. Draft, unlike normal raiding, requires players to explore beyond the top 3-6 spots in the DPS charts. Often times, drafts will cover the top 10 and sometimes as far as the top 20-30 depending on how much one expects to need a specfic type of attacker. I decided to make some charts that incorporate the new Gen 5 pokemon (Bolded) to showcase how much could change.Methodology:I employed the use of gamepress's DPS/TDO chart and their custom mods to display future pokemon and possible moves. For each type chart, I matched the attackers vs expected/past legendaries or common raid bosses. I tried to make one of the bosses double weak to the type in question and the other raid boss single weak. When choosing what to include per chart, I opted to only use Pokemon with a charge move that matched the typing (sorry Bite Salamence) and in regards to the Gen 5 Pokemon, I only went with STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves. There are a few exceptions to this but only in instances where the majority of naturally learned moves in the main games fit the non-STAB type (ex: Klinklang as an electric attacker). Base sorting for the tables may look a little off at first and that is due to the fact that I sorted them based on a weighted average between the two displayed DPS charts but did not include that average as it is not truely meaningful numbers, just a good way to account for fast moves that do not fit the type. For those on the desktop version, you should be able to sort by column of choice by clicking the header. (May need RES, not sure)Since all of the numbers are in the form of DPS (Damage per Second), here is a heplful chart to remember what these might translate to as far as time to win.TierDPS to SoloDPS to DuoDPS to TrioDPS to Quad5 50.00 25.00 16.67 12.50 4 50.00 25.00 16.67 12.50 3 20.00 10.00 6.67 5.00 2 10.00 5.00 3.33 2.50 1 3.33 1.67 1.11 0.83 FirePokemon Fast Move Charge Move Genesect:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOCobalion:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOReshiram Fire Fang Overheat 41.0471551.5107297.2 22.704851.69965.6 ChandelureFire Spin Overheat 40.4551095.972555.3 22.465838.69507 Blaziken Fire Spin Blast Burn 40.365923.4 60725.7 22.226534.75871 Volcarona Fire Spin Overheat 40.1461182.476507.5 22.185699.87641.6 DarmanitanFire Fang Overheat 39.745903.8 56745.2 21.999530.65648.7 Emboar Ember Blast Burn 38.5921009.258005.7 21.231584 5589.3 Moltres Fire Spin Overheat 38.4131129.764036.5 21.231700.96707.7 Charizard Fire Spin Blast Burn 37.442957.2 50243.7 20.576590.65144.8 Infernape Fire Spin Blast Burn 37.353877.1 45709.5 20.582508.24431.3 Flareon Fire Spin Overheat 36.974900.2 45503.7 20.468528.24529.2 Entei Fire Spin Overheat 36.6071278.262707.1 20.222748.46189.3 TyphlosionEmber Blast Burn 35.574948.5 42700.6 19.607554.14176.7 Heatran Fire Spin Fire Blast 35.3751633.872324.2 19.558827 6186.7 Magmortar Fire Spin Fire Punch 34.67 896.7 37367.9 19.127524.43669.1 Arcanine Fire Fang Flamethrower 33.052937.9 33865.9 18.279549.83358.2 Houndoom Fire Fang Flamethrower 32.616702.8 24385.7 18.132363 2163.8 Salamence Fire Fang Fire Blast 31.778779.8 25023.7 17.644569.13125.6 Simisear Fire Spin Overheat 31.465647.3 20163.4 17.45 380.62022.3 Heatmor Fire Spin Overheat 31.466684.7 21333.2 17.44 402.42134.6 Ho-Oh Hidden Power FireFire Blast 30.6291218.735019.1 16.916754.73652.9 Mewtwo Psycho Cut Flamethrower 28.865642.8 15459.5 17.927607.93502.4 Rapidash Fire Spin Fire Blast 29.006645.7 15757.9 16.095379.81583.4 Magmar Ember Flamethrower 28.258601.2 13566.4 15.651353 1353.4 Camerupt Ember Overheat 27.402565.3 11631.1 15.27 352.51254.9 Important Notes: Darmanitan has two forms, it's standard form (listed) and Zen Forme which loses a little attack but has much higher defenses and gains psychic as a secondary typing. Simisear (and the other elemental monkeys) can learn the signature starter moves (Blast Burn, etc.) however I did not use those moves for these charts as we do not know how likely that is to occur.RockPokemon Fast Move Charge Move Moltres:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOReshiram:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDORampardos Smack Down Rock Slide 46.843922.1 94781.9 25.961350.26128 Archeops Rock Throw Rock Slide 46.781836.4 85633 25.716370.26295.6 Terrakion Smack Down Rock Slide 40.4721326.687941.3 22.487492 5594.5 Tyranitar Smack Down Stone Edge 37.1581328.368148.1 20.42 510.24343.9 Aerodactyl Rock Throw Rock Slide 36.042760 35583.3 19.888337.82656.8 Rhyperior Smack Down Stone Edge 35.9681445.567264.3 19.865502.43938.5 Gigalith Smack Down Rock Slide 35.4431094.848743.7 19.663417.63174.5 Archen Rock Throw Rock Slide 34.028339.2 13364.6 18.438147.8926.8 Omastar Rock Throw Rock Slide 33.1281204.343782.5 18.49 352 2225.1 Golem Rock Throw Stone Edge 32.4311042.635564.4 17.804360.32033.5 Alolan GolemRock Throw Stone Edge 32.436974.7 33261.8 17.798349 1967.6 Carracosta Rock Throw Rock Slide 30.97 1147 34071.5 17.322335.91745.7 Crustle Smack Down Rock Slide 30.127513 14028.2 16.494284.71277.2 Lunatone Rock Throw Rock Slide 29.587744.9 19293.7 16.474286.71282.1 Solrock Rock Throw Rock Slide 29.587744.9 19293.7 16.474286.71282.1 Aggron Smack Down Stone Edge 29.346770.4 19470.5 16.077387.31609.6 Rayquaza Dragon Tail Ancient Power 28.52 687.1 15939.9 19.975365.92916 Boldore Smack Down Rock Slide 27.956558.2 12196.9 15.446211.6779.8 Regirock Rock Throw Stone Edge 27.8571227.326531.6 15.364467 1693.6 Melmetal Thunder Shock Rock Slide 28.507556.4 12888.7 14.47 380.51152.9 Sudowoodo Rock Throw Rock Slide 27.556662.7 13865.6 15.288252.5902.4 Important notes: Archeops and Rampardos are so close in DPS that they sometimes switch spots based on breakpoints.BugPokemon Fast Move Charge MoveHoopa U:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOMewtwo:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOVolcarona Bug Bite Bug Buzz 34.527706.229066.6 24.767531.68076.4 Genesect Bug Bite X-Scissor 33.111689.425025.6 24.035414.85759.8 Pinsir Bug Bite X-Scissor 31.58 485 15277 22.784340 4021.6 Yanmega Bug Bite Bug Buzz 30.815485.614208.7 22.243304.73353.1 Scizor Fury Cutter X-Scissor 30.615578.516600.1 22.27 348.83852.5 EscavalierBug Bite X-Scissor 29.643577 15029.3 21.534347.43469 Accelgor Bug Bite Bug Buzz 29.426358.39130.1 21.19 250.72385.5 Scyther Fury Cutter X-Scissor 28.748425.911814.1 20.855268.62436.1 Durant Bug Bite X-Scissor 28.721498.711814.1 20.833299.82711.2 Leavanny Bug Bite X-Scissor 27.876412.98944.7 20.21 260.52149.9 GalvantulaBug Bite X-Scissor 27.378335.36881 19.774239.41851.2 Scolipede Bug Bite X-Scissor 27.29 354.77208.5 19.742230 1769.7 Heracross Struggle BugMegahorn 25.875404 6998.5 18.454256.41611.2 Ninjask Fury Cutter Bug Buzz 25.635239.44032.5 18.334148.8916.8 Crustle Bug Bite X-Scissor 25.47 453.57494.3 18.408321.12002.6 Mothim Bug Bite Bug Buzz 24.676224.43372.3 17.636139.4764.6 Venomoth Bug Bite Bug Buzz 24.091287 4013.2 17.364185.4970.6 Beautifly Infestation Bug Buzz 23.689195.92603.8 16.724120.2562 Beedrill Bug Bite X-Scissor 23.32 242.93080.7 16.868157.5755.8 Parasect Bug Bite X-Scissor 22.701261.23055.9 16.433164.5730 Important notes: There are some huge additions to Bug type attackers! While normally a forgotten type in draft, with these newcomers, Bug may be a good option as a Psychic, Dark, or Grass counter. X-Scissor is listed for almost all new Bugs as most can learn it however it is very likely some will not receive it. That being said, Bug Buzz is usally just behind in DPS and is learned by many!GroundPokemon Fast Move Charge MoveHeatran:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOZekrom:DPS TDO DPS3 *TDOLandorus Therian Forme Mud Shot Earth Power 38.925845.3 49850.2 24.549579.88578.1 Landorus Incarnate FormeMud Shot Earth Power 35.352779.3 34431.3 22.314535 5944 Excadrill Mud-Slap Earth Power 35.477639.4 28553.1 21.898563.25913.3 Krookodile Mud-Slap Earth Power 31.258662.2 20224.3 19.647459.73486.1 Groudon Mud Shot Earthquake 30.656889 25614.2 19.55 601.94497 Golurk Mud-Slap Earth Power 30.193625.7 17222.1 18.994432.92966.5 Garchomp Mud Shot Earthquake 30.02 1064.728803.8 19.139517.83630 Mamoswine Mud-Slap Bulldoze 30.209438.6 12090.5 18.723393.52582.9 Rhyperior Mud-Slap Earthquake 28.203859.6 19281.7 17.871523.92990 Seismitoad Mud Shot Earth Power 25.944820.5 14327 16.827385 1834.2 Nidoking Fury Cutter Earth Power 25.29 496.4 8030 17.232344.51762.6 Rhydon Mud-Slap Earthquake 25.991671.4 11789.2 16.465409 1825.6 Donphan Mud-Slap Earthquake 24.864601.5 9246.5 15.777405.11591.2 Golem Mud-Slap Earthquake 24.393594.8 8632.8 15.493363.41351.3 Swampert Mud Shot Earthquake 24.282852.6 12207.6 15.506394.41470.4 Alolan Dugtrio Mud-Slap Mud Bomb 23.873229.7 3125.3 15.185208.4729.7 Gastrodon Hidden Power GroundEarth Power 23.574746.3 9777.4 15.215348.41227.1 Flygon Mud Shot Earthquake 23.652597.6 7906.4 15.008289 976.8 Aerodactyl Rock Throw Earth Power 21.791356.4 3687.5 15.551224.4843.7 Hippowdon Fire Fang Earth Power 22.826650.4 7735.3 14.399435.51299.9 Camerupt Ember Earth Power 22.119439.1 4751.2 14.149220.6624.7 Important Notes: Another oft forgotten type as it is usually not fast enough to keep up unless the boss is electric, Ground will see a lot of new faces!
