    Amen, Amen, Amen!!!!! Waiting until after an event or raid boss cycle is THE best way to maximize efficiency when powering up featured pokemon. Use events as a way to build as much of a pool possible, then assess afterwards to power up your best characters. Saves so much dust and resources.

      Additionally once you have the core of about 25 each league you can compete and stack dust. Additionally in 2 years hit level 47 and that is done by grinding and powering up to raid effectively. You can beat any raid boss with three people at that point or four so I think that is important

  • @TheFakeSantaClaus
    @TheFakeSantaClaus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One hard thing...saving up all the Mewtwos in this current raid season for the XL in special trading. It's worth way more to save them for doing that but in doing so, you gotta make sure your storage depletion is consistent since you can only trade two at a time every day. Silver lining about this baby steps tactic is by the end of the season, if you did even light to moderate raiding, you'll have good enough of an XL candy pile to power up a Mewtwo or potential Shadow version to L50. As long as you trade daily for now.

    You are 100% correct about waiting to max up your best mons, but what a fun-killer this game is, to make us suppress our excitement because Stardust & XL candy is such purposefully expensive grinds & rare commodities.

    I would do shadows before nonshadows. For Mewtwo, I'm saving my XL candy for my shadow Mewtwo, then by the time mega Mewtwo comes out (which, I'm thinking we'll probably wait 1+ years for), I'll probably have a hundo to power up by then. For Garchomp, I only powered a hundo to level 50. For Tyranitar, I got my shadow to level 50 first, probably going to wait on the hundo until mega Tyranitar comes out.

    Since I already powered up 5 Mewtwo (1 shiny, 1 shadow, and 3 regular) to level 40 all with a 2nd move about a year or more ago, I find it silly not to power up the shadow and shiny up to level 50. Sure I could get a better IV shiny Mewtwo but I already spent like 350,000 stardust to get to level 40 with a 2nd charge move so I figure I might as well use that one.

  • @zard0055
    @zard0055 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A remote raid pass that is roughly 70c already gives you 1000 stardust whether you win or lose a raid; so technically you can buy stardust for no effort. Assuming you won a raid and caught the legendary, you get a total of 1100 star dust on the minimum side while also getting 3 guaranteed XL candies. When somebody spends over 50$ to get enough XL candies, you already have additional 100,000 stardust and a lot of rare candies in the process. This game is already so pay to win that it would not really make much of a difference if they simply sold stardust and candies in the shop. They don't do that, not because it would be 'unfair' but because of the potential drop in people's engagement with the game. They just stand to gain more when people engage a lot and there are multiple levels of currency conversion which becomes hard to keep track of.

    Sometimes, you only get one Mewtwo after catching one in a remote raid after failing to catch it in local raids despite using golden raspberries and hitting excellent throws.

    For me personally, I dont really trust Shadows. I've only ever powered up one Machamp, my (fairly bad) Mewtwo and now a Tyranitar to like Level 30-35 and I don't think I will go beyond that if I dont get something like a hundo or 98%, as Niantic could change the system anytime and they might not deal these 20%(?) extra damage anymore. I'm glad I've finally reached my 3 million stardust and I really dont wanna go below 2.5 ever again. 😂
    All in all you are right, patience and powering up what you NEED in this moment is definitely key - ALTHOUGH I think we shouldn't take this game TOO serious if its really one of our favourite Pokemon/Shinys ever... My first ever maxed out Level 50 was a 98% Shiny Infernape and I really worked for it, too (traded as many chimchars as I could get for the XL etc.), and even though I dont really use him outside of Rocket Battles and I KNEW he isn't that good in Pokemon Go, I would never regret it because I just love him.
    That being said though, I have more than enough good counters for raids already, for a legendary I wouldn't have had enough candy anyways and shadows are too expensive in my opinion. (I might do a shadow Infernape if they ever release it, though😂)

    My main team I use for master league is a rank 7 mewtwo powered to lvl 40, rank 2 garchomp powered to about lvl 45 and a lvl 50 rank 5 melmetal. All have double moves unlocked. Still have over 3 mil in stardust. I've actually been spending a lot of dust on various great league and ultra league teams as well. This is my only master league team ATM.

    I have a hundo Beldum, Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Kyogre (and some others) that I'm holding on to power up later. I don't need to use them right now, so there's no point in powering them up. For Beldum, I hope for another CD or some other event to get the CD move. I save my stardust for eventual random trades during GO Fest Berlin or for stuff that are more relevant right now, and if I need to power up something for pvp.lol

    Really surprised you didn’t talk about powering up your buddy Pokémon while it has the buddy boost. Happened to me with Togekiss so lucky it wasn’t a legendary cost me 3 extra XL Pokémon while powering up. Didn’t do the math but took it from 41 because of the buddy boost to 48.5 . I’m sure I lost atleast 30-40 xl candies so dumb that Niantic doesn’t realize that. Checked on my friends account and it’s 100% true they overcharge per power up if you have a buddy boost

    I worked hard to get to 4mil stardust, then dropped to 3mil. I powered up my first ever shiny Groudon to level 40. Next powered up some counters for MewTwo, including my 2 shadow Mewtwo's to 40. I don't think I will be getting a legendary to leven 50 anytime soon. I am happy with less than perfect hitting level 40, but I am not going to drop below 3mil stardust again.

      @@dark-phoenix4426 The bidoofs were only really useful for that season, unless they ever bring that cup back lol. Play for the long-term...You won't recover ithe stardust immediately. Level pokemon up with future seasons and utility in mind...Remember that even if you were to beat every opponent and maximize your rewards plus always using star pieces you will usually get less than 10k stardust per set. Limited to 5 sets per day is less than 50k per day and less than 350k in a week. It works out a lot less than that during each event. Except for some events, like the current one with 3x stardust reward bonus, but it is not given every cup event.

    saving SD is harder for the typical less lvled trainers since they only have a ltd # of appropriate attackers with decent IVs. takes a while to accumulate decent IVs for each type and then another while to make sure they're in fighting form for raids. at least that was my struggle until i hit lower lvl 40s bc anytime i accumulated some SD i still needed to power up different typings.
    spent most of last yr being mindful of SD so that now i'm more trained to be less trigger happy when it comes to powering up pokemon for the sake of maxing them out.

    I don't fully agree wit the Mewtwo one kuz, it's hard to get a better one than a 98%, and a 15atk shiny at that. For me, that's an instant max, since the only bar higher is a shundo. I do understand the dust saving thing where if you're swapping, you could get a 98 lucky shiny and that'll help us save, but you have millions of dust, so it shouldn't matter to you.

    Nice! I followed a earlier tip of yours regarding stardust and that was to never go below 1 million. Just in case a nee raid boss comed out and you need to emergency powerup a Pokemom. I consider myself a casual grinder - as in someone that grinds hard compared to casuals haha.
    I hit 2.8 mill stardust for the first time in probably years and today it went back down to 1.1 mill after some powerups! I did my Mega Venusaur 100% (i hahe zero good grass attackers so worth it) + some XLs for PvP andy hundo Groudon.
    My point is, telling myself that 1mill is like 0 has helped a lot so appreciate your tips and tricks man!

    • @ajiteshsharma8112
      @ajiteshsharma8112 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed mate. I never powered up my pokemon until I got to level 33 when I started getting max level wild pokemon and I only started maxing out at level 45 when there was a task titled "max 3 pokemon". Having a stardust floor helps a lot. I keep the base as 3mil and when it climbs up to 4 I powerup a pokemon. Powering up is very addictive and fun so keeping a floor helps you have enough for emergency while using the excess to enjoy the powerups

    Patience is important, but holding out for things like "shundos" especially lucky ones, aren't things that come to most people. Maybe if one is involved in a community where everybody raids nonstop and has dozens of different legendaries just available for trading. Which, even then, we're limited to one special trade per day, so getting that lucky shundo is borderline impossible. I've done hundreds of lucky trades, and I've maybe gotten 2 hundos. Hell, half the time I get a lucky with worse IVs than my non-lucky 'mon.
