These rankings are for raids. Trainer Battles play differently, so use the PvP tier lists for GO Battle League.
The top eDPS pick is the best all-rounder. Against a specific boss, its moves and weaknesses can push someone else ahead, so check that boss’s counters before you build a team.
You can change all of these in the table settings. The top picks and the intro always use the defaults.
Each attacker is simulated against a pool of tier 4+ raid bosses, including Megas, Legendaries and Mythicals.
Both sides of the fight count: how hard the attacker hits each boss’s weaknesses, and how well it resists the boss’s moves.
Type rankings use only the bosses that are weak to that type. If no boss is, the full pool is used.
Unreleased Pokémon aren’t in the boss pool.
Every released Pokémon at 1,200 CP or more, including Shadows, Megas and Primals. Legacy moves count, and each Pokémon starts on its best moveset.
A Pokémon doesn’t have to be this type to rank here. One attack of this type is enough, and mixed-type movesets count too.
It’s each Pokémon’s eDPS as a share of the leader’s. 100% is the top attacker, and 90% means it does 90% of the leader’s eDPS under the same settings.
Changing the battle settings can move these numbers. Searching the table doesn’t.
You can build a strong raid team without them. Where we can, we flag two picks:
Some of these are still rare or expensive to power up, so check before you invest.
The best Ice-type raid attackers in Pokémon GO, ranked by eDPS. Off-type Pokémon count too, as long as their moveset includes a Ice-type Fast Attack or Charged Attack. White Kyurem is the strongest Ice-type attacker, followed by Black Kyurem, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Mewtwo X.

BaxcaliburWhite KyuremThe ranking assumes Level 40 attackers with 15/15/15 IVs in an average raid. Change the battle settings to match yours, such as weather or Party Power, and the table re-ranks.
White Kyurem leads the Ice-type rankings with Ice Fang and Ice Burn. If you want an attacker that isn’t Legendary, Mythical, Shadow, Mega or Primal, Baxcalibur with Ice Fang and Avalanche ranks highest.
Every eligible Ice-type moveset is compared on stats and move data, and each attacker keeps its best eDPS moveset under the settings you choose. The table shows the damage and survival numbers behind each rank. Boss, level and relobby time can reorder the list, and the moveset matters as much as the Pokémon.
These answers use the default Level 40 ranking, sorted by eDPS, which counts both damage and the time you lose to fainting. They stay the same when you change the table settings.
The best Ice attacker in Pokémon GO is White Kyurem with Ice Fang and Ice Burn, at 32.56 eDPS, 36.47 DPS and 682.8 TDO with the default settings.
The best Mega or Primal for Ice-type damage is Mega Mewtwo Y with Psycho Cut and Ice Beam, at 29.21 eDPS (31.81 DPS). That’s its own damage only. The boost it gives your teammates isn’t counted.
The best Shadow Pokémon for Ice-type damage is Shadow Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche, at 25.08 eDPS (29.52 DPS). Shadows hit 1.2× harder, but their Defense drops to 0.83×, so they also take about 1.2× more damage. Its eDPS already accounts for both.
White Kyurem ranks highest once Megas, Primals and Shadows are left out, though this pick can still be a Legendary or Mythical. Start from what you already own, check that it has the moves it needs, and think about which raid boss you’re facing next.
The power-up calculator shows what it will cost, and the rankings by type help you cover the gaps in your team.
Run Ice Fang (Fast Attack) and Ice Burn (Charged Attack) on White Kyurem. That’s its best moveset in this ranking.
Any Pokémon with at least one Ice-type move qualifies, so some attackers here aren’t Ice type themselves and some run a mixed moveset. You can turn off off-type attackers or mixed movesets in the table settings. These are raid numbers, so they won’t tell you how a Pokémon does in Trainer Battles.
White Kyurem with Ice Fang and Ice Burn, at 32.56 eDPS, is the best Ice-type attacker that doesn’t need a legacy move.
That’s 100% of the top attacker’s eDPS at the same default battle settings.
For this pick we rerun every eligible Pokémon with legacy moves removed, so you don’t need a move from a past event. Special items, Mega Energy or other requirements can still apply.
Build Baxcalibur with Ice Fang and Avalanche. At 22.81 eDPS, it’s our strongest regular attacker for Ice-type damage.
That’s 70.1% of the top attacker’s eDPS at the same default battle settings.
This pick leaves out Megas, Primals, Shadows, Legendaries, Mythicals and Ultra Beasts. Legacy moves still count, so check the moves before you invest. Regular doesn’t always mean common or cheap to build.
Already have one with these moves? It’s a strong pick for a raid team without Megas, Shadows or Legendaries. Check what it costs to power up from your current level in the power-up calculator, and spend first on attackers that hit your next raid boss’s weaknesses.
We rank by eDPS (effective damage per second). Each Pokémon is shown with whichever eligible moveset gives it the highest eDPS under the current settings. DPS is the damage it deals per second while attacking, and TDO is roughly how much it deals before it faints.
eDPS is DPS adjusted for the time you lose when a team of six copies of that Pokémon faints and you rejoin.
Tiers put attackers with similar scores together, and the split is finer near the top. With enough distinct scores you get eight tiers: SS, S, A, B, C, D, E and F. With fewer, you get fewer tiers. The scores decide where each tier starts, so tiers can be different sizes. They change with the simulation settings and stay put when you sort the table or change pages.
Scores attackers against the configured T4+ raid boss pool, including Mega, Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. Outgoing damage reflects how effective each move type is against the bosses; incoming damage reflects the attacker’s resistances to their moves. Per-type rankings use bosses weak to that type. Types without super-effective matchups use the full pool. Unavailable Pokémon are excluded from the boss pool.
The dummy boss uses neutral effectiveness (1.0×) for every move, with incoming damage based on Defense alone. This can favor attackers whose moves the raid pool resists, or whose weaknesses make them take more damage in raids. The dummy has a fixed 25,000 HP, regardless of raid tier.
Time to return after a team of six faints. Applies to eDPS and estimated battle time.
Every eligible Ice-type moveset is compared on stats and move data, and each attacker keeps its best eDPS moveset under the settings you choose. The table shows the damage and survival numbers behind each rank. Boss, level and relobby time can reorder the list, and the moveset matters as much as the Pokémon.
