How max CP is calculated
CP (Combat Power) condenses a Pokémon's base Attack, Defense and Stamina into one number:
CP = (Attack × √Defense × √Stamina × CPM²) ÷ 10
- CPMis the CP Multiplier for the Pokémon's level — 0.7903 at Level 40, 0.8403 at Level 50, 0.8453 at Level 51 (Best Buddy).
- Each stat includes the IV, so this page assumes a perfect 15/15/15 catch — the numbers are true ceilings, and a worse catch lands a little lower.
- Getting from Level 40 to 50 takes XL Candy; the final +1 level comes from making it your Best Buddy.
Raw CP isn't the whole story — movesets decide real raid damage, so cross-check the best attackers rankings before spending dust. Chasing a max-CP entry starts with the perfect catch. Our live 100% IV coordinates feed surfaces perfect spawns around the clock — then track your collection in the Living Dex tracker, tick off your shinies, and build a trade list for the ones you're missing.
Max CP FAQ
What is the strongest Pokémon in Pokémon GO?
Counting temporary Mega and Primal forms, Mega Mewtwo Y is the strongest Pokémon in Pokémon GO at 7,267 max CP (Level 50, perfect IVs). The strongest Pokémon you can actually keep in your storage is Zacian (Crowned Sword) at 5,629 CP, and Slaking is still the strongest non-legendary, non-Mega Pokémon at 5,010 CP. The full ranking above is computed from the live game data (updated 15 Jul 2026).
What are the strongest Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in Pokémon GO?
Zacian (Crowned Sword) leads the Legendaries at 5,629 max CP. Among Mythicals, Hoopa (Unbound) tops out at 4,530 CP. Use the rarity filter above to rank only Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beast or regular Pokémon — and combine it with the type filter to find, say, the strongest Legendary of a single type.
How strong are Mega Mewtwo X and Y in Pokémon GO?
Mega Mewtwo X and Y debuted at GO Fest 2026 (11–12 July 2026) and immediately took over the top of the rankings: Mega Mewtwo Y reaches 7,267 max CP at Level 50 — the highest of any obtainable Pokémon — and Mega Mewtwo X hits 6,910 with its Psychic/Fighting typing. Like every Mega they're temporary battle forms, so the strongest Pokémon you can permanently keep is still Zacian (Crowned Sword).
What Pokémon has the highest CP of all?
Eternatus (Eternamax) tops the game data at 9,255 max CP — but you can't own it at that form. Eternamax Eternatus appeared as a Max Battle boss at the GO Fest 2025 Max Finale, and beating it rewards a regular Eternatus (5,007 max CP), never the Eternamax form itself. The same goes for other boss- or battle-only forms: fusing Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala gives Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings — both ranked above — but Ultra Necrozma isn't obtainable in GO yet. Flip on the "Unreleased" filter to see everything that exists in the game files but can't be caught.
How is CP calculated in Pokémon GO?
CP (Combat Power) is computed from a Pokémon's base Attack, Defense and Stamina, its IVs, and a per-level CP Multiplier: CP = (Attack × √Defense × √Stamina × CPM²) ÷ 10. This page uses perfect 15/15/15 IVs, so every figure is the true maximum for that Pokémon at that level.
What's the difference between Level 40, Level 50 and Best Buddy CP?
Level 40 is the normal powering-up cap using regular candy and Stardust. Levels 41–50 require XL Candy. Best Buddy shows Level 51: a Best Buddy Pokémon gets a +1 level boost while it's your buddy, pushing it past the Level 50 cap — the highest CP a Pokémon can reach in the game.
Does higher CP mean a Pokémon is better?
Not always. CP is a single number blending Attack, Defense and Stamina — great for shortlists, but movesets and typing decide real matchups, and Great/Ultra League PvP rewards bulk under the CP cap. For actual raid damage output per moveset, see our Best Attackers rankings (linked below the table) — and use the type and rarity filters above to find the strongest of a specific class before investing.
How do I get a Pokémon to its max CP?
Power it up to Level 40 with Stardust and candy, then to Level 50 with XL Candy, and make it your Best Buddy for the +1 level boost. The figures here assume perfect 15/15/15 IVs — catching a 100% IV Pokémon first is what our live 100% IV coordinates feed is for.
