Best cheap attackers — under 200k stardust (2026)

The best cheap attackers are Shadow Machamp, Mamoswine, Magnezone, Roserade, Hydreigon, and Rampardos. All build out under ~200k stardust at L40.

Not every raid attacker needs to be maxed L50. The picks below get you 90% of the raid output for ~30% of the dust cost. Prioritize these before building Megas or legendaries.

Rule of thumb: a L40 hundo costs ~150k dust + 124 candy. A L50 hundo costs ~500k dust + 296 candy. The L40 build is the sweet spot for daily raid use.
