Imagine you're a shadow pokemon being caught, thinking you're about to be freed and purified, but your trainer decides to keep you in your shadow form because you do slightly more damage
Hundos add almost nothing at all to your pokemons stats. Only time its noticeable is probably when the ivs are around 50 lower (i dont really play pokemon go so idk how to say it but ivs still dont add much) so keep your ursaluna shadow cause looking cool is better than adding 1 point to hp or something
There is also a case that I don’t if it happens often. If your Pokémon is very bulky and its defense is a lot higher than it’s attack, then they are better purified in pvp
@joijiparra if you look at the states you can see they are close to filling out I don't know the exact amount but if you see a bar is almost filled purifying it will fill it the rest if the way
You also forgot some of the most important info..it's cheaper on stardust when purified and it's also a good strategy for getting XL candy. You purify, evolve, then transfer...if an event gives you XL for transfers....sometimes you get a chance at additional XL when it's evolved...
Does more damage - is this based on per second? In a raid, there are so many variables that will impact how long a Pokémon stays in battle for. If a purified (or normal) Pokémon does the same damage but over a longer period of time - that may not help you short man a raid, but it could help if you don’t have a deep enough selection of Pokémon. (You can power up the one a few more levels due to reduced costs). That said I wouldn’t encourage purifying and raid/pvp meta Pokémon unless you have spares, or don’t care about that stuff and just want the hundies.
I have 3 shadow Mewtwo from the shadow raids, one as a psychic raid attacker and one as an Ice raid attacker. Should I purify the third for Go Battle League? (and also will it boost the level dispite already being over level 25?)
still gonna purify them. except my moltres, took me a bit too long to my taste just to get enough candy to purify 1 legendary like with mewtwo and zapdos.
But, sometimes you should purify them because some shadow Pokémon will have 300 power or something and after purifying them they can have 3000 power, but mostly goes with legendary shadow pokemon
I would argue that you probably should. Once perfect you are more likely to power it up, you can use for mega benefits, it still has use/purpose. But most importantly it isn’t likely to be replaced it’s already the best it can be no Charmander/eleon/izard you catch going forward is going to be better than it. It is a permanent trophy. (Well except a shiny Hundo).
The only time I purified was for my level 44 mission which was to purify 100 pokemon... had to do it to get to 45. And one other pokemon to have a hundo mega but other than that I don't it's too expensive and I like the extra damage
I have a 98 percent shadow charmander. Part of me wants to purify so I can have a hundred charizard, but idk if it's worth it since it's stronger as a shadow.
Just an good example, I got a near 100IVs shadow Ralts, i purified her, change the moves and mega evolve and now she is a 4000+pc mega Gardevoir hundo... If i didnt purified i couldn't mega
I have shadow mewtwo and Latios from Giovanni and I just now know this because before i purified my Golett so it could because a HUNDO was it worth it Yes and no is commenting 👇
I have a shadow larvitar that’s IV’s are 3-3-12. Should I purify it, and just transfer it (for medal) or keep it and evolve and power up into a Tyranitar? This is my only shadow larvitar, and idk if people are expecting for shadow larvitar to come back.
Should i do my metagross? And my magnazone? Already purified golem and Tyranitar. Thx guys (keep in mind metagross does in fact have a mega) Golem probably an improvement and Tyranitar for obvious reasons *mega*
There are actually a few reasons why someone may wish to keep it in shadow form. As mentioned a shadow Pokémon does 20% more damage, this equates to higher damage per second (dps). Higher dps could help one player carry their weaker friends. If everyone has higher dps they can complete the raid with less people or can complete raids much faster, May be important if trying to do as many raids as possible on raid days or with elite raids and formerly ex raids. Yes it has less defence, and means you will likely go through more Pokémon per raid. If you get a perfect IV shadow Pokémon - why would you purify? It is considerably rarer, a real trophy.
IMO - Win. As a non hundo shadow the ivs can always be improved. Purified the cans/candy XL cost to max is reduced vs normal and dust reduced also vs shadow. Chances are you are more likely to use if it is powered up and chances are you are more likely comfortable to power up if it is a Hundo. Either way it is still very useable. Perfect ivs are forever trophies.
I'm really stupid. I purified my shadow shiny tiranitar recently. But also not so stupid, 'cause I had a shadow Dragonair that I purified, that ended up being a hundo! (My first too) :D
I'm still gonna purify all my shadow pokemon because I want them to be happy and not suffer :)
Fairs 😅
Lol
Imbrace the suffering
Same we are all nice trainers 😂😂😂
That is a good man, give him another Masterball. :D
I’m purifying them because the lore says they’re in pain and I can’t let that happen..
It's just a game

@user-ni7ui1nk8p I know but they are going off of lore so truly they won't use benefits if the lore tortures them or do they only care about shadows
@@Kdnnx I play for the fun. Not the damage output, I can’t play for fun if I’m torturing the Pokémon - that’s just me tho.

We will do more damage to the trainer, fair enough
That’s why we are all different trainers lol 😂 I got a dope shadow snorlax and looks better shadow lol blame Niantic lol 😂

I have a shadow hundo Dragonite and a normal hundo Dragonite. You forgot to mention the insane cost of powering up a shadow.
Imagine if shadows could mega evolve. the game would break at the sight of something like shadow mega swampert
Ya i only Purify when i know it will hundo. If not ill keep it Shadow. Most of my Hundo actually come from shadows
How can you know? I'm kinda new.

Gilgar shadow is much better for pvp you should always see the Rankings before purifying it
I purified a shadow beldom to get a 4* mettagross
That’s okay if you don’t care too much about damage output and the meta, but Metagross does a lot more damage as a shadow

I had a Glameow that I had a hunch about, so I purified it and it turned out to be a Hundo. Totally worth it.
I just purify my shadow articuno 💀
Same
I had to purify my shiny shadow schther so that he would become a shiny with perfect iv
If you want more defense, then purify it.
im still purifying asap because im not evil

I caught 100 iv shadow swarnpert but cant evolve mega swarmpert..very sad niantic..hope next update can evolved shadow pokemon to mega pokemon 😊

No turn in into charizard

Never. Unless its for a quest
I only purify when I'm guaranteed a hundo
But the charged attack is always confusion that deals 10 damage so thats useless
I have a shadow mewtwo and if I purify it it would become a hundo. So tempting but I just can’t do that

I think yes 😂
what i wanna know is how you take frustration off a shadow mon.
Wait for team rocket event
I didn’t know that purifying gave 2 ivs to every stat, and now I have a 98% iv phanpy. So close yet so far
…I just purify them all because they said if they’re shadow Pokémon they hurt and I feel bad…

Is it possible to increase the defence of a Pokémon, I have a 98% IV purified starly and I want to get my first hundo on my new account
Also when you need to do it for a quest
Or just do what you want. You don't have to follow any online "rules", have fun and do what *you* want

As a non hundo shadow the ivs can always be improved.
Purified the cans/candy XL cost to max is reduced vs normal and dust reduced also vs shadow.
Chances are you are more likely to use if it is powered up and chances are you are more likely comfortable to power up if it is a Hundo.
Either way it is still very useable.
Perfect ivs are forever trophies.

Even if the purified version has more in game use, the higher rarity of the Shadow Hundy is worth leaving it as is regardless what Pokémon it is.
