How reliable is this Rock-type ranking?

We compare eligible Rock-type movesets using Pokémon GO stats and move data, selecting each attacker’s best effective damage per second under the chosen settings. The table exposes damage and survival estimates so you can check why it ranks higher. Opponent choice, level and rejoin time can change the result; the recommended moveset matters as much as the Pokémon.

Ranking Methodology

Rankings use effective damage per second (eDPS). For each Pokémon, we select the eligible moveset with the highest eDPS under the current settings. DPS measures damage per second while attacking; TDO estimates damage dealt before fainting.

eDPS adjusts DPS for time lost to fainting and rejoining with a team of six copies of the same Pokémon.

Tiers group attackers by similar scores, emphasizing differences near the top. We use eight groups, labelled SS, S, A, B, C, D, E and F, when there are enough distinct scores; otherwise, fewer tiers are used. Group sizes are determined by the scores, not fixed rank cutoffs. Tiers update with the simulation settings and stay the same when you sort or change pages.

Average raid boss weaknesses

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.

Time to return after a team of six faints. Applies to eDPS and estimated battle time.
