  • Is there a minimum IV for a Shadow Pokémon to be stronger than a Non-Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon Go? Well, today we take a look at a 0% Shadow Tyranitar against a 100% Non-Shadow Tyranitar to see which is stronger through a raid experiment.

    would have been nice in your testing to also show a 90-100% shadow vs the 0% shadow so we can see the importance of IV for shadow types. I suspect its not as big a difference as the normal vs shadow is, like instead of a 3 second increase maybe a 1 or 2 second?

    This is an awesome comparisons and I was actually surprised. Everyone needs to keep in mind also is dodging. When using shadow Pokémon you want to always dodge the charge moves even if they’re resisted so you can survive to get off as many charge moves as possible. This is one reason I use dragon breath on my hundo shadow dragonite and dragon tail on my regular hundo dragonite. Dodging is key to maximize the damage boost.

  • @ImEcchi
    @ImEcchi Před 7 měsíci +2

    Old video but people will come across it.
    BrandonTan showed it in action but the math behind it is:
    IV is a flat amount added to the pokemon’s base stats.
    So let’s say a pokemon had 100 attack, 100 defense and 100 HP. A 100% 15/15/15 IV pokemon would have 115/115/115 stats.
    and the obvious 0% IV with 0/0/0 would be 100/100/100.
    Shadow pokemon get a 20% attack bonus and -20% defense. So a 0% shadow pokemon with those base stats would be 120/80/100 showing that the pokemon has more attack but a lot less defense.
    This is gap is only if you powered up a 0% shadow. So imagine a 3-star with possibly 15/15/11 Like the Metagross we saw? Honestly if you get a max attack IV shadow it’s definitely worth it for max damage. Just keep in mind about the Defense debuff, and make sure to dodge otherwise they will faint faster.

      It will probably show no difference - especially in such an easy raid as the Shinx raid. A perfect IV Shadow hits a bit harder and in certain situations last a little longer than the 0 IV but if you don't have any problems beating the boss with your team(s) then the very small difference doesn't matter. IV are very overrated!

    Hello Brandon,
    How about another experiment on how much damage a 0% shadow can do compared to a hundo after it faints, just to take into consideration the 17% a shadow take as added damage compared to a hundo. This would represent a stronger pokemon effectiveness, specially for tier 5 and mega raids.
    Also, is a shadow Ho-Oh with sacred fire+ better than a purified one with sacred fire ++? In other words is it worth purifying a Shadow Ho-Oh with sacred fire+?
