I want this shiny so bad! I have a hundo already so I’m planning to go pretty hard for that XL candy. Hopefully I can find that elusive shundo as well! 🤞
That would be super bittersweet if you got the shundo tbh, Since it's already pretty bad in everything in the game beside Master League the hundo would be even less useable than it already is
@@xDbrad I still use my hundo HoHo in Master League even though it’s just barely over lvl 40. Its one of my favorite Pokémon to use in Master League at the moment, so getting a shundo would just make me use it more. I also use my hundo in raids pretty often as well. Can do some work as a fire type attacker even if it isn’t top of the chart, especially if the raid Pokémon has focus blast or something HoHo resists.
@@beastarj8256 Not sure how many before I got the hundo. It was like a year ago, before Johto Tour. It was the first time I ever raided Hoho and I probably did at least 20 raids before it went away, but I think I got the hundo relatively early. Just great luck on that one.
I got a shundo Ho-Oh during Johto Tour so it’s been a year since I have and it's also the only shundo I have so I’m planning on just grinding for XL candy
I have done probably over 100 raids in the raid rooms and have only been able to capture 6 Ho-oh’s because they keep breaking out. I have not even seen a shiny from the raid rooms yet and people keep asking in the rooms if anybody had caught a shiny. My grand daughter fought in a raid at our park once and she got a shiny. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂 I’m a level 41 and play all the time. She’s a level 33 and doesn’t play as much as she used to. I was just wondering if our levels and time playing might have any effect here or if maybe I won’t be able to get a shiny from the raid rooms… ? Do you have any feedback or advice? Thanks for your time and I love your videos! 👍 Btw, I do have the Apex Shadow Ho-oh and I chose to purify it because I loved the way it looked. I’ve been told that I shouldn’t have done that. Idk, but I love it. I would still love to have a shiny. I love Ho-oh!
There might be someone more knowledgeable about this than me who will comment but I think Lugia is more useful in raids and pvp and in my opinion has a better looking shiny. I plan on saving my coins until Lugia is in raids and just using my one free pass a day until then.
Basically the difference is Ho-oh is meh in raids and Lugia is just straight up useless, although in PVP Ho-oh is #24 best (if you max it at least) and Lugia is #1 in Master League
@@brianbrewer2909 You're somewhat right, Ho-oh kind of sucks for PVE but Lugia is straight up useless but for PVP Lugia is #1 and Ho-oh is #24 in master league
I don't have a ho oh at all so I'm gonna raid it a lot I'm sad it won't have a legacy move which means that lugia probably won't have aeroblast but I'll take what I can get
I've only played for just under 8 months and have both Lucky Ho-oh and Lugia so (my only 2 lucky legendaries btw) so I'm really looking forward to going hard on raids over the coming weeks. Thank you for the full info leading upto the grind 👌
You’d be better off spending your money on reshiram when it comes back, I have one that’s level 47 and I like barely use it. If you wanna spend your money/passes on it then go ahead tho, just know once you get better mons it’ll almost never see the light in raids and be a waste.
@@no_u_420 I did close to 60 reshiram and Zekrom raids each that is when they were available at the start of the year both I've got double moved and as close as I could to 50 before running out of XLs reshiram is slightly higher CP just under the 4400 mark.

I am confused if I should invest to power up hundo level 45 ho-oh or shundo heatran as it has Magmastorm Signature move which is also a good move for PvP
What? Heatran isn't in the game right now lol your only option is the Ho oh, And i can't tell if you're lying or confused lmao, Heatran doesn't even have the move in the game
@@beastarj8256 Yeah but he's not available right now lol so you still don't have an option between the two, and you quite literally said you had a shundo heatran with Magmastorm and that it was good for PVP, how would you even know if it's good for PVP when it's not out yet
That's neat but pretty unfortunate tbh, With shadow it would be insane but if you purified it, even with the literal best move possible it does less damage per second than a normal blaziken
@@lthegr81 Nah all purifying does is take away the shadow bonus which is 20% more damage taken and received, BUT Ho oh is a special case, I think Ho oh and Lugia are the only pokemon where if you purify them they get their best moveset possible, although even with their best moveset shadows are better
I would like to see the performance of lvl50 apex shadow vs lvl 40 reshiram because it is highly unlikely to be able to max 6 reshiram to lvl50 but if shadow apex is comparable at 50 it might be worth it
Wait what lol you're not saying you think there's a chance a lvl 50 apex ho oh can outlast and do more damage than 5 level 40 Reshiram... right?

@@xDbrad no simply that a lvl50 apex shadow Ho-ohs could act as a replacement for a lvl40 reshiram Which as you said it does not out dps but I guess if your weakest reshiram is lower it would work out on paper
@@jasoncookie5456 Oh okay that makes a lot more sense, yeah if you have a level 50 Shadow Ho oh then it's basically the exact same as Reshiram just a little better
The way I am is Im going to power up my also 93% shiny Reshiram that I caught during last time Resh was in raids, and my shadow Apex ho oh simply because I like a diverse team of strong counters and not all the same counter
I mean i thought this was pretty straight forward but i guess not lol, it's very good in Master League but 99.9% of players aren't gonna spend $50+ to max out a Pokémon only good in ONE league of PVP and average or bad in everything else, most players don't even play PVP lol it's much more worth it so max out something that ranks higher and is insane in PVE like most of the legendaries ahead of it
I'd argue yes. Ho-Oh is in a unique position in the ML meta, being a solid response to Dialga, Groudon, and most fairy types, as well as Excadrill and Melmetal as long as shields are still in play. It also hard walls the most common moveset for Zacian (play rough + close combat). Personally, it's one of my favorite Pokemon for ML.
@@pb99-z3r Ah. Purified for sure. Less dust, less XL candy. Note that it will perform identically to the regular hundo, since SF++ has the same stats as SF in PvP.
Hi Billy! You talk about quick catching techniques a lot in your tips videos. However, under Niantic terms of service, it is technically the abuse of a glitch for a reward. So is it ok to use this technique? Ik u have contacts with Niantic, so I was wondering if u know whether they are ok with it or whether u can ask them?
He doesn't need to ask them lmao it's not actually against the rules even if they say it is, it's the same as autocatchers, if you use an autocatcher that wasn't made by niantic which millions of players have or do, you can technically get banned for it, but not a single player in the history of pokemon go has actually been banned for it
Doesn't make sense how ER takes into account tankiness to me. ER is just the 4th power root of DPS3*TDO, so it's just a scaled version. It's like simplifying 2/4 to 1/2. Same thing
Billy. I got a free video idea for you. Cause I’m a big fan. I’m not sure if anyone has been talking about this yet. But did you know that gholdengo , the evolution of gimmeghoul, is the best non shadow non mega ghost attacker in the game. I looked up it’s dps tdo and it’s pretty strong. I can’t wait to get my hundo and I’m powering that thing up.
I love Pokemon Go but I hate Niantic pokemon go creator, for the way treated as pokemon go players. I hope one day Niantic buy by other e gaming company that had better way to treat us as their games players.
gotta love them peeps waiting in the back tryna not to interrupt the filming
