Pokémon Go: what are the best Pokémon after rebalancing?

Summary

Since November 14, 2018, Pokémon Go's combat mechanics have undergone a complete rebalance. The formula for calculating attack, defense and stamina statistics Pokémon has been changed and their Battle Points are altered.


Now balanced attackers are penalized while Fragile and offensive Pokémon have an advantage. On the contrary, balanced defenders are more emphasized while Pokémon specializing in defense have suffered a "nerf". Finally, changes to the endurance calculation formula have increased the health points of most Pokémon to allow them to survive longer in combat.


Generally speaking, this change mainly benefits Pokémon with high Attack stat and low Defense and Stamina stats. Moreover, Raid fights are now easier since the bosses also see their defense and their hit points reduced.
