Best Steel Mega & Primal attackers
Rankings use a simplified weave-DPS model (base Attack at level 40 + best STAB-aware fast/charged pairing) against a neutral target— they don't model a specific boss's typing or your Pokémon's survivability, and legacy/elite-TM moves are included. For counters tuned to a specific boss, open its raid guide. Full assumptions on the methodology page. See the overall tier list, the GO type chart, or Steel in the main games.
