What's the best Poison-type attacker in Pokémon GO?
The top Poison-type attackers shown above are sorted by raw max CP (level 50 ceiling). For raid efficiency, also check the tier-list page — it ranks by total damage output (DPS × bulk × moveset), not just CP.
Is there a Poison-type Pokémon that's a 100% IV in raids?
Every Poison-type raid boss has a hundo CP floor (IV 15/15/15 at level 20). Use the iOS app's raid-catch screen to verify — open any Poison boss page on Hundo Hunter and the raid CP card shows the hundo + minimum CP for both normal and weather-boosted catches.
Do weather conditions boost Poison attacks?
Yes. Each type has a weather-boost mapping that adds ×1.2 damage and raises the catch level from 20 to 25. Check the /weather tool for the full boost matrix — most Poison attacks get boosted by a specific weather state shown there.
