'Pokemon GO' Dark Type
The most effective Pokemon in "Pokemon GO" that has the same Dark type move-set is Gengar with Sucker Punch and Dark Pulse. However according to YouTuber Trainer Tips, Pokemon that only has one Dark-type fast attack move like Bite deals more damage than Gengar such as Arcanine and Gyarados.

'Pokemon GO' Ice Type

The best Pokemon for attacking purposes is Cloyster with an ideal move-set of Frost Breath and Blizzard.
'Pokemon GO' Ground Type

'Pokemon GO' Electric Type
It's not the most popular Pokemon Pikachu that's the strongest Electric type in "Pokemon GO" but close. Its next evolution Raichu is the strongest electric attacker with the move-set Spark and Thunder.
'Pokemon GO' Fairy Type
There is actually no Fairy type fast move in "Pokemon GO" just yet, however the infographic shows a Clefable with Pound and Moonblast will deal most damage. According to Trainer Tips, a Wigglytuff with Pound and Play Rough is also a great alternative.
