#PokemonGO - Hry
For Mewtwo this past weekend, I was out literally all day Saturday and until 2 on Sunday. I ended the week with 87 raids and got absolutely skunked. 1 single shiny and nothing with IVs over 89%. No idea how I could have possibly don’t THAT badly but yea. Another thing to keep in mind. You can do everything in your ability and still end up with a huge let down. I did accumulate a massive number of XL Mewtwo candy so that’s a win but I was really hoping for a good shiny. Then the guy I was with got 4 shiny, 2 of them were able to be purified Shundos. (So 13/13/13 or better) It’s all in the roll of the dice.
feels bad bro. I did one raid yesterday and got a 14/15/15 and went home.
@@brettwiederkehr386 At least you got shiny! Me after 24 raids (together in both days) non shiny at all. And since I just found out it is not possible to trade shadow pokemon -> thich means I even dont know if I ever be able to get shadow shiny Mewtwo! :( Ps. from these 24 raids I got 15 shadow Mewtwo only. And highest is only 86,7%!
Watch Niantic deliberately prevent shadow Rayquaza from learning Dragon Ascent until it's purified lol
I think you're 100% right
I'm terrified of this actually happening lol
I wouldn’t mind or at least make it like some of the other features where you can’t use it in the gold battle league, but you can use it in the raids. I wouldn’t mind that I think a fully maxed out shadow with breaking swipe and dragon ascend would be broken. Plain and simple. Even if there is Pokémon that wall it not every trainer is going to have those Pokémon so the vast majority of the time it’s just going to be broken and unfair but I would love for it to be for me to use in raids as a shadow
I bet they will cause I got 2 extra meteorites
well yeah, can't mega without that move, and you can't mega shadows currently
The long awaited video ah hell yeah
Always looking forward to these clips
Amazing video as always - your slide on dust/candy cost from 8 to 30 v 20 to 30 seriously highlights how underrated 1* shadow raids are, particularly weather boosted. It’s like having a 60k dust/90 candy raid drop for things like Machop/murkrow to get them in a shadow raid v. Grunt/leader.
So shadow raids being at churches alot pokemon with cp of 666 being 3 star a lot and shadows being stronger. It's like according to Niantic evil wins which goes against everything iv ever watched that's pokemon, I'm so confused 😕, just started a month ago on pg and it's soo wtf
Shadow Zekrom with Thunder fang and Bolt strike is gonna go CRAZY
Im a very casual player and only just sat down to make sense of all this. This video was explained really well and was pretty concise without overwhelming. Cheers!
Ive got a good 2k pokemon to get through ha
Nice - Was looking forward to this - Thanks for posting
I honestly appreciate your videos. Thank you very much.
Great overview! Thanks so much for making
Another great upload. The fact that you have so little views compared to the depth and quality of the video really puzzles me. I dont think there has been a more elaborate explanation of powering up shadow/lucky/normal pokemons and i feel that itself could already be a standalone video just due to its informativeness. Very unfortunate the game has been in relative decline, it kinda screwed with the views on pogo in general. Feels bad man. You’ve been consistently pulling out bangers but the views haven’t been fair to you at all.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you recognizing the hard work that goes into these videos.
always liked shadows in both pvp and raids. still committed to building them, great work.
I had a terrible mewtwo reide weekend, cause i played only one day, but end up getting a 96% groundon with 15 atck, i'm so happy!!! Already used a elite charge TM
There are two things to note about mewtwo, first when it's megas are added the purified hundreds are going to be decent for a significant number of players, second is that it's shiny should be slightly more common overall. I did 5 raids and got an ok shiny Mewtwo.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIMESTAMPS!
So stoked to watch this, yay! 🎉
😊
I loved this video and I definitely will be looking back at it as I get better shadow Pokemon. I was wondering if you could make a video ranking the best Pokemon to spend rare candy/rare candy XL on based on rarity, difficulty to get more candy, etc.?
Already made a video on the best Pokemon to invest rare candy into, check the description :)
@@LuckyBunz Oh perfect! I’ll give it a watch, thank you!!
I’m ngl if this video came out a day earlier I would’ve watched it like 10 times LMAO. Thank you for the video!
I was trying to get this out earlier, but it took so much time to edit 😅
❤️your vids, always the most in depth detailed videos on pogo , thanks for not deleting my comments too. Stay cool
Amazing video, I love shadow pokemon but they are so darn expensive. I have a level 50 Reshiram, I feel like you should compare them to level 50 non shadows since they are the endgame Pokemon to power up for PVE.
So much to aspire to :D
What timing I was looking for this video after watching ur other one last night 😂
😁
Thanks Lucky! One question, will shadow Rayquaza be a relevant dragon type attacker?
Yes! It should be the best dragon type once it eventually gets released
Shadow reshiram will be the king of fire
Seriously, it will be UNMATCHED 🔥
Got my 1st shadow Hundo while hunting mewtwo, a shadow hundo machamp!
W
I was only able to do one shadow mewtwo raid. Glad I got one
what do yall do with the weak shadows? I was thinking of waiting for 2x transfer or maybe purify to trade with my girlfriend for the one we were able to get weather boosted or something, but idk.
For the ones that cost 1K to purify, I always purify those before transferring. Otherwise if they don't have really high IVs or PvP IVs, I just transfer them.
You could purify and trade them too, but it might end up costing you too much stardust 😅
Can you make a video on dodging in raids? When to do it, which are better dps wise to face tank instead, etc
I got a shundo & hundo shadow mewtwo this weekend 🙏
Same 🔥 not shiny though
Bro what 🤯
I remembered that you've shared before that the Pokémon will reach it's max cap attack stats at certain level but I couldn't find that infos anywhere online. Do you mind sharing on what level will the Pokémon reach it's max attack stats cap as I don't wanna max out level 50 on every useful Pokémon I have for now as a returning player and still collecting Pokémon to build PVE team for each typings. Don't wanna unnecessarily waste my XL candles. Thanks!
im so happy i got a hundo shadow groudon definitely invested into that
Yoooo, that's so awesome! 🤩
soo is the shadow Rayquaza real as the next giovannies legendary? or just people taking guesses? great video btw, real helpful
guesses but basically implied because the last ones were kyogre and groudon, so obviously rayquaza is next.
Shadow Rayquaza is just a prediction, but I'm 99% positive we will get it based on the past 2 shadow legendary Pokemon being Kyogre and Groudon.
I got 4 Mewtwo with 91+ IVs , 14/13/15, 15/14/12, 15/13/13 and 15/11/15. I am not going to power up 15/13/13 yet, but if I will not get a hundo Mewtwo then I will purify it. Is it ok?
dont purify the 14/13/15 until the mega comes out
Please dondt purify your good Shadow Mewtwo. You can trade normal Mewtwo for a hundo for mega Mewtwo x and y
@@Areolainspecta I will wait for mega raids
@@BenjaminEngel507 if I don't get a hundo either by raid or by trade then I will purify 15/13/13
I'd probably try to be patient and wait till after you raid some mega mewtwos or lucky trade.
It's better to hold onto shadows usually tho.
Yo i copped a half a star shadow groupon from yo boy geo what would you suggest in these cases?
Whats the site you're using to show the DPS, TDO, etc. for the Mewtwo?
Last week i got ALMOST hundo shadow darmanitan. So I proudly will power up him and use him ;)
If you are running raids with just two trainers it is best to have pokemon at least level 40 if not higher.
I know Pokebattler suggests it and we have been doing pretty solid beating many 5 star shadow raids just wife and I. There are times with right weather conditions we were able to beat raids without using purified gems.
Luckybunz the best youtuber to explain poke go stuff lets gooooooo
Thank you! 😊
I somehow got the 100% shadow groudon with a single radar and holy cow, didn't expect that at all.
Got a 98% apex shadow ho oh, will eventually get it to lv 50
😍
I caught 7 Mewtwo today, and honestly I just wanted one with max attack and I got one with 15 attack, 13 HP and terrible defense. I still want to max this one out despite it being a 2 star because god only knows when Mewtwo will be back
IVs mean very little maybe a percent or 2, shadow Pokemon are a glass cannon anyways so I would max it I maxed my 2* shadow shiny
I would definitely take it to Level 30 and eventually cap around Level 40. Shadow Mewtwo is amazing to use in rocket battles against the poison type grunts.
So is there merit in just running 6 shadow Mewtwo & charge TMing to either flamethrower, tbolt, focus blast, etc. for each type? S.Mewtwo is among best in class for each typing it has a charged move for based on TDO. I have always wondered how STAB fast moves would impact that, though
Nah Shadow Mewtwo is in Raids only strong with Psystrike,Shadow Ball and ICE Beam. With thunderholt flamethrower and focusblast its Not good in Raids!
In the past, shadow Mewtwo was great to use as a generalist type attacker, but nowadays we have so many good Pokemon for each typing, so it's just better to stick with one of the options that benefits from STAB on both moves.
i got a hundo mewtwo this weekend :)
Congrats!! 🥳
Was just looking for this on your channel the other day. Was watching the 2023 one. Super stoked to see it here 🔥
😄
I have a 96 iv shiny shadow metagross that is already a best buddy but can also be purified into a shundo but I never will
Good man, never purify that beauty ✨
Will bagon forget frustration … how do I evolve it to get the com day exclusive tom?
I got really lucky and got a hundo shadow ryhorn
Massive W
How do i know if i should or shouldn't purify a pokemon because i have a 3 star t tar but not one 15 iv
I got 2 decent mewtwo, one can be hundo if i purify 13/14/13 and the other is 96 if i purify 11/14/15 should i purify one of them?
I don't have candy for upgrading or getting 2 attacks, if i keep them shadow it will stay low levey for ever, i would probably never touch it
Just keep them as shadows for now, you can always change your mind and purify later when you have more resources available. The only one I would focus on right now is your 96 shadow. I would work on taking that to Level 40 and doing GBL to get an elite TM for Psystrike.
Hello! I'm getting back into the game and my friends told me to not purify my Shadow Lugia. I saw that you didn't mention It but can I ask if It's good anyways?
Shadow Lugia isn't that relevant unless you have close to perfect IVs to use in the Master League. It's not a Pokemon you want to use for the raid/gym meta though
I got a shadow darumaka in the night it come out and it was a 98% i put him lv 30 and evolved and because of him i decided to ask someone for a heatran for my special trade, it came 98 -1 hp but the other guy, the other guy got.. he got a 100 iv kyogre
Sounds like you both got some awesome wins that night
I did 30 shadow mewtwo raids and got 3 shinys O_O not amazing IVs but I am tempted to purify one and send it to a friend :)
Should i max my 14/13/13 shiny groudon, i haven't power up any groudon. is it worth it?
Worth it, especially if that's the best that you have, you can primal it too
If you don't see yourself trading for shiny Groudon in the future, then yeah forsure. You will get a lot of use out of it
@@LuckyBunz thx man
i level 40ed my 15/11/11 mewtwo idk if the defense was too low but i powered that up because it was weather boosted
My latest "good shadow" was 93% machamp. He went to lvl 50 right away
I love ur vids
Thank you!
I got a bad IV 11/8/7 shadow Groudon. Should i power it up and Elite TM him? Thank you for the help.
Yes
I would power it up, aim for Level 30 first and then eventually Level 40. For the Elite TM, it's difficult to say compared to the regular. I use my regular Groudon a lot for rocket battles, raids and PvP.
I haven't had the opportunity to really compare the shadow in rockets yet.
Hate that you cant Remote shadow raids. My kid was hyped when mewtwo spawned at the playground near us. Told him we couldnt handle it alone.. he wanted to try anyways but two man raiding 5 stars are pretty difficult -.- we lost ofc.
Would an 8/12/15 shadow Groudon be worth powering up? I got 218 candy left after I maxed my regular hundo
Considering that we won't get shadow Groudon in raids for a long time, I would definitely power up your shadow and cap around Level 40.
I got a 0 star shiny shadow mewtwo. Is it worth powering up despite having awful ivs?
Yes!!
Yes
I got a 14/10/15 Shadow Groudon and powerd Up to Level 48. And i got a 13/13/10 Shadow Shiny Raikou. Its now Level 43. I needs so much more Stardust for Level 50 😅 and i got a 15/10/12 Shadow Shiny Mewtwo this Weekend. Man i am so lucky with this good strong Shadows 😄
That's awesome!!
Oh yeah . And thank you
Absolutely amazing, congrats on those! 🤩
@@LuckyBunz thank you
Bro i have 2 98iv shadow torchic, is it any good? Or should i purify them for. mega
Since you got two, you can purify one for the hundo and use as a mega
@@LuckyBunz I already purified 1 for mega, which is a hundo. My ques is that shadow blaziken is good or not. Sorry for previous ques.
I just maxed out my mewtwo shadow 94% spent 700k dust I need like 30xl to finish it
Didn't realize how many fire type shadow Pokémon are available.
I got a shadow Ho-Oh 141315, should I purify it or keep it shadow for PVP?
Is that APEX shadow Ho-Oh or just regular shadow Ho-Oh?
@@LuckyBunz it is the regular one.
Let’s gooo
When is the next Giovani cycle?
I have a hundo shadow treeko is he even worth it if sceptile barely made the cut?
Given the rarity, powering that up would be pretty cool and it's still relevant at the right level. Just make sure it has Frenzy Plant
@@LuckyBunz what level would u recommend? 40,45 or all the way to 50?
My shadow groudon is 15-15-10 so I maxed it out
Mewtwo shadow - 15/7/8 is good to ubgrade ??
Yup
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Day ❤ He Is Risen 🙏 God bless and much love
Also grabbed Hundo shadow mewtwo
Damn dude, you had some good luck recently!
@@LuckyBunz thanks I had spells of crap like tho lol
Does levels mean 35 as in 3500?
If it’s not hundo. I don’t want it.
I already purified my 96% Shadow Mewtwo to purified hundo... I need hundo shadow Mewtwo but they give me a crap one
96 %Shadow Mewtwo crap?🤦 Dumbest Thing what you did purify your good Shadow. You can trade normal Mewtwo for a hundo
@@BenjaminEngel507 I'm not into shadow Pokémons to be honest... So I'm purifying it... If that's 98% I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna purify it but yeah I want a sure hundo
You purified 96? Bruh
@@mareczuczek I want a hundo not 96% shadow
😬
First
Hi
Hi 🙂
Is Pokebattler a good app to use when estimating if you can take down a shadow raid with your party?
Yes
Absolutely, I love using Pokebattler to run the sims.
20:45 i have a shadow 15/15/14, so pretty close. For a second I thought he was gonna be useless after I spent all that stardust on him
Not at all, I'm really jealous! Shadow Gyarados is sooo good to use in the Master League Premier Cup!
Ok if I have a shadow Mewtwo shiny 67iv and shadow Mewtwo 98iv which one should I power up ? thanks
98
Both? Haha, I would probably do the 98 first for results and then do the shiny afterwards once you get more resources
