GP Tier Lists

I haven't seen that this has been asked recently, but apologies in advance if it has...

Will GamePress be revising the attacker and defender tier lists in line with the new gym system, and especially the changes in STAB and type-effectiveness? If so, is there an ETA at all? Not hassling as I get that it takes a large investment of people's time... just wondering whether to expect it as this site is basically my bible :-D

Oh and I know gym defence is less significant in the metagame with the "coins on return" system but I still like to place a mon who I know will fight a good battle and do some damage so I would definitely be interested to see an updated defender list as well as attack...

I hope they will, especially that bullshit about Stone Edge vs Earthquake on Golem's page.

I think the game have come to a point were raiting mons are at little to no use due to:

1.raiding; emphasizing SE match up.
2. Caping mons type and introducing CP decrease timer: only one type of each pokemon means anyone just can brut force a gym over 5 minutes with no real use to have a good moveset in gyms.
3. No one is really trying in the gyms.

It will probably be a lot harder to make those lists because gyms are so diverse, and many lack any real defenders. I think the quickest way to go through a gym now is just using Dragonite and/or Tyranitar, and Snorlax as a tank if you want one.

I mean yesterday I took down 13 gyms and didn't use a single potion, only revives. I just used Pokemon at half health...gyms are so simple they don't really require attacker rankings...

Gyms are easy and pointless now so you don't need attacker lists or defender lists.

And raids require super effective matchups and specific counters, so that defeats the purpose of an attacker list.

So it's not useful for them to make an updated version of either list.

Yeah, they don't really mean anything any longer. You can beat any gym easily and if you do a raid and are low on people just use good raid counters from a list. If you are at a raid and have plenty of people, anything will work.

Yes. They will be updated.
