The speed limit <| sep |> That ' s definitely a consideration too ! Pokmon with a low Attack stat can beat Pokmon of a much higher CP than they are themselves , but they ' ll be slow at it . So what gives the highest prestige over time is a balance between those two factors . The ideal prestiger is a Pokmon with a type advantage , a low Attack stat , and a very high DPS moveset since that raises DPS without raising CP . This is why Wigglytuff and Parasect have always been popular prestigers They have some of the highest DPS movesets in the game . Pound Hyper Beam and Bug Bite Solar Beam , respectively , with STAB on both moves . It ' s an interesting idea , having separate rankings . Maybe the balanced AxDxS ranking should be used as gym ranking only ?
