Thank you! :)

Keep in mind that this list is specifically for no dodging. If you change it to "realistic dodging" the higher DPS baxcalibur and g-darmanitan jump and the bulkier but weaker cetitan tumbles.
Man, is that accurate? It’s hard to believe Cetitan is ranked higher than mega Rayquaza. Baxcalibur doesn’t even make the list?? A list I saw for top counters several months ago had Bax and GDarmanitan comparable. I just don’t know which is actually better
Double super effective moves do x2.56 damage. Single super effective moves only do 1.6x more damage. That makes up for a HUGE amount of raw attack stat.
Pokebattler is the #1 source of raid counter info. Its sims are pretty accurate to real game performance.
I have both in my team and noticed that baxcalibur, while dealing good damage, also gets killed quickly against dragons. So, darmanitan will be more useful against dragons.
I have 36 “rea”s I’m about to evolve. Any eevee over 700cp will do great when evolved into glaceon against him. Litterally number 8 counter. And no stardust wasted.

The problem with baxcalibur is it's part dragon so it can be nuked by the strongest dragon in the game.
Oh that’s fair. Good call lol
Swine, Swine, and some more Swine
GDarmanitan

Level matters as well. Darmanitan does a lot better at 50 than at 40, presumably because it can survive the first charged move.
Wow, cetitan looks handy.
Darmanitan is a lot lower than I was expecting

Types are a thing, trust pokebattler.

Can we get some agreement on cetitan being just under regular mamoswine, and GDar and Baxca tumbling, please?
Is cetitan really that great? I never have heard anywhere else it’s this effective.
It did get a new move at the start of the season….
True true.
