Best Way to Maximize Your Raid Damage in Pokemon GO

This list ranks all charge moves by damage output over the course of a single cycle, eg using your quick move enough times to fill an energy bar and then firing the charge move itself. This gives a much more accurate look at the damage you're doing, since purely showing the DPS of a charge move without accounting for charge time and energy usage makes many attacks look better than they are.

The list also shows how 'risky' a move is to use. For example, a three-bar move or a move that deals damage close to the start of its animation is safer than a full-bar move that damages at the end of its duration, as your Pokemon could be knocked out before completing its cycle and doing the full damage. If two attacks have a similar DPS, it's generally better to have one with a lower risk as there's less chance of being knocked out mid-cycle.

Notes: The list uses a quick move that adheres to the format of 10 damage/10 energy/1 sec duration, which seems to be the standard around which most quick moves are balanced. Dodging is not taken into account.
