10 Pokemon With The Highest Attack Stat

Pokemon have a list of stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed), and each one has an effect on how they perform in battle. These stats may not seem like much, but they are sometimes the thing standing between a normal Pokemon and a legendary Pokemon.

A Pokemon’s Attack stat decides the amount of damage they can dish out when performing a physical attack. These are different than special moves, whose damage is decided by the Special Attack stat.

10 Aegislash (Blade Forme)

Royal Sword Pokemon

• Generation: Generation VI (Kalos Region)
• Type: Steel & Ghost-type
• Evolution: Honedge → Doublade → Aegislash

If this article was ranking Pokemon based on their usefulness in battle, Aegislash Blade Forme would be much higher on the list! This Pokemon has an impressive 140 Attack stat, allowing it to deal devastating physical moves. It also has an equal Special Attack making it a damage-dealing powerhouse.

One of the bigger benefits of using Aegislash in battle is its dual Ghost and Steel-typing. This gives it four weaknesses, but a staggering nine resistances and three immunities! Good luck facing off against this Pokemon in battle!

9 Wishiwashi (School Form)

Small Fry Pokemon

• Generation: Generation VII (Alola Region)
• Type: Water-type
• Evolution: N/A

Wishiwashi has two forms, Solo Form and School Form. School Form is the Pokemon at its strongest, and this form is the default when entering battle (as long as the Pokemon stays above 25%). This Pokemon doesn’t just have a great Attack stat (140), but also impressive Defense, Special Defense, and Special Attack stats as well!

You may feel bad for the puny Solo Form but when grouped together, Wishiwashi is an unmatched threat. With access to great Water-type moves like Hydro Pump, Aqua Tail, and Dive, School Form Wishiwashi can be a huge asset in any team.

8 Ursaluna

Peat Pokemon

• Generation: Hisui Region
• Type: Ground & Normal-type
• Evolution: Teddiursa → Ursaring → Ursaluna

Ursaluna was introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and has pretty specific evolution requirements (using a peat block during a full moon in PLA). While this Pokemon may be tough to get, it’s well worth the trouble as it has a staggering 140 Attack stat. Teddiursa and Ursaring are pretty notorious Normal-type Pokemon, but Ursaring gains a Ground-typing upon evolution which gives it a bit of an edge in battle compared to its pre-evolutions.

Its Attack stat is in line with many other Pokemon on this list, but Ursaluna has access to some great physical Ground-type moves! Moves like High Horsepower, Earthquake, Dig, and Stomping Tantrum can set this Pokemon above the competition and give trainers an easy victory.

7 Iron Hands

Paradox Pokemon

• Generation: Generation IX (Paldea Region)
• Type: Fighting & Electric-type
• Evolution: N/A

Iron Hands is a Paradox Pokemon that resembles a futuristic version of Hariyama. This Pokemon has a hefty 140 Attack stat and, out of all the Pokemon on this list, probably has access to some of the best physical moves thanks to its Electric and Fighting-typing. MOves like Focus Punch, Close Combat, Wild Charge, and Thunder Punch can make Iron Hands an unstoppable force.

He’s also a favorite for players that frequent raid battles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as he can absorb a ton of damage with his 154 HP stat and has some support capabilities as well! If you’re hunting for a great damage sponge, look no further than Iron Hands!

6 Baxcalibur

Ice Dragon Pokemon

• Generation: Generation IX (Paldea Region)
• Type: Dragon & Ice-type
• Evolution: Frigibax → Arctibax → Baxcalibur

Baxcalibur was the pseudo-legendary Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with an interesting and unique typing of Dragon and Ice. This dual-typing gives the Pokemon an unfortunate weakness to Fighting, Steel, and Rock-type moves, alongside the stereotypical Dragon-type killers of Dragon and Fairy.

Baxcalibur’s 145 Attack stat is certainly admirable, especially when paired with Ice-type moves like Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, and Ice Fang! Baxcalibur’s Attack stat can be raised even higher when it is hit by a Fire-type attack thanks to its Thermal Exchange ability.

5 Haxorus

Axe Jaw Pokemon

• Generation: Generation V (Unova Region)
• Type: Dragon-type
• Evolution: Axew → Fraxure → Haxorus

Haxorus is a beastly Pokemon with one of the coolest shiny forms in the franchise. Dragon-type Pokemon have some of the best stats in the game and, when it comes to the Attack stat, Haxorus outpaces them all.

The whopping 147 Attack stat paired with Dragon-type physical moves like Outrage, Dragon Claw, and Breaking Swipe can make Haxorus a real contender in most battles. So long as players keep an eye out for its type weaknesses (Ice, Dragon, and Fairy-type), they should fair pretty well against most opponents.

4 Slaking

Lazy Pokemon

• Generation: Generation III (Hoenn Region)
• Type: Normal-type
• Evolution: Slakoth → Vigoroth → Slaking

Slaking is an impressive Pokemon with an enormous stat total of 670! This stat total rivals even some legendary Pokemon, like Regigigas and Groudon. Its Attack stat of 160 makes it easily stand out as one of the most powerful Pokemon in the series. There are some drawbacks to Slaking, like its Normal-typing and Truant ability.

A Normal-type Pokemon isn’t particularly powerful against opponents in battle, though there are some strong Normal-type physical moves (like Mega Kick, Hyper Voice, and Take Down) that players can employ to take advantage of this hefty Attack stat. The real setback is Truant, the Pokemon’s ability, which stops Slaking from attacking two consecutive turns in a row. This can cause real problems in a heated battle!

3 Darmanitan (Galarian Zen Mode)

Zen Charm Pokemon

• Generation: Generation VIII (Galar Region)
• Type: Ice & Fire-type
• Evolution: Darumaka → Darmanitan

Unovan Darmanitan’s Zen Mode is already one of the best Special Attack Pokemon in the franchise, so it’s no surprise that the Galarian Zen Mode would rank on this list as well. Galarian Darmanitan is an impressive Pokemon, with a 140 Attack stat, but it’s the Galarian Zen Mode’s 160 Attack stat that really stands out!

When Galarian Darmanitan’s health falls below 50%, it transforms into Galarian Zen Mode. This form change not only gives it a huge boost to its Attack stat, but also gives it a rather contradictory Fire-type to accompany its base Ice-type.

2 Palafin (Hero Form)

Hero Pokemon

• Generation: Generation IX (Paldea Region)
• Type: Water-type
• Evolution: Finizen → Palafin

Palafin’s Hero Form has not only a 160 Attack stat but a whopping 650 stat total. This Pokemon’s base form may look cute and cuddly, but when it switches out in battle and then returns to the field, its Hero Form will emerge and it is a force to be reckoned with.

Hero Form doesn’t receive any other boosts aside from its enormous stats but with great defensive capabilities and offensive stats, it’s a great Water-type Pokemon to have on a team. It is a bit cumbersome to swap the Pokemon out during battle, a requirement for Hero Form to trigger, but it is worth the trouble.

1 Rampardos

Head Butt Pokemon

• Generation: Generation IV (Sinnoh Region)
• Type: Rock-type
• Evolution: Cranidos → Rampardos

It may surprise some players that Rampardos ranks as the highest Attack stat Pokemon in the game (barring legendaries, Ultra Beasts, Mythicals, etc). While it may not register as a great Pokemon to bring into battle, when equipped with powerful physical moves (like Head Smash, Stone Edge, and Rock Slide), this Pokemon can really deal some damage.

Rampardos’ other stats leave a bit to be desired, with its 60 Defense and 50 Special Defense leaving it vulnerable to powerful Grass, Water, and Fighting-type moves. These downfalls can be avoided but if players are looking for a strong attacker, there aren’t many options that rival Rampardos.
