I am quite excited about new Grunts' line-ups. Was so surprised to face shadow Gligar today in "flying" team. Seems like they have many mixed types, cool.
My favourite grunt and one I always go after is the "...iron will" one. It's almost always had great mons and now they've taken that up a notch. All the Pokemon you can get from him are viable in multiple metas and are doing pretty well at the time. Rest assured, by the time I'm done chasing this grunt, they shall no longer possess an iron will 😅
5:01 shadow honchcrow is also a really good dark attacker and i feel like u didn’t mention some pokemon’s purified versions because many of these shadows are good when purified
It depends on your team, but I'd also recommend S.Jumppluf (Hoppip) for PvP (in GL it can perform very well even without Acrobatics*) and S.Crawdant (Corphish) for PvE (that stands behind S.Gyarados, S.Empoleon, S., S.Swampert and ofc Kyogre but it doesn't require any ETM for its moves, it's definitely worth it especially for new players).

Hi daxi I was just wondering you said shadow snorlax is really rare is a shadow cowboy hat snorlax rare I got one during go fest and have been holding on to it for a while cause my friends say it’s rare. Thanks for all your amazing content have a great day!
For some reason I only have 1/12 chance to captured a shadow Pokémon with decent ivs… When I get them they always have awful ones, but I usually don’t transfer them since they are still stronger than the normal version of themselves lol
Another thing: for the BEST POSSIBLE CHANCE FOR GOOD SHADOW KYOGRE IVs, I’d recommend encountering Giovanni during weather conditions whichll boost Shadow Kyogre (Rainy Weather)
I remember doing a dragon grunt and landed a 15/14/14 dratini. I will forever call I a hundo for the sheer fact of I ever purify it ( yeah right) I will have a hundo dragon it’s just a tank. Truly one of my accomplishments in this game
After so many tries to get a shadow shiny like Beldum etc, i finally got one i wanted today, Shadow shiny Bagon! IV's were awful, but its cool anyway! my first shadow shiny! :D
Once I got this team go rocket dragon grot and I got a 96uv Gibble and I evolved it into a garchomp and waited until a team go rock event and removed frustration
In the middle of watching this I opened Pokémon to see what the tgr balloon would have for me and it was the dragon grunt which he said it was a rare one to go for. And then It gave me a shiny dratini i couldn’t believe it!
Hey Daxi, got a question about the grass type grunt. This grunt has shadow hoppip that evolves into jumpluff, right? I always thought that is sees some play in the great league as well, but you didn't mention it. I'm not for sure though.
Question for you. The upcoming decidueye event talks about raising limits on remote raid passes. Let's say you get all the passes for the event. After the event ends, do you lose all the extra passes (beyond the regular limit)?
The Ke...Ke...Ke.. Ke... Ke... is in reference to Lavender Town Towers nun encounters in the OG Pokémon Red/Blue. You cross their paths/talk to them they say all those: kekekekekeke....
For PvE? Definitely, as he's only behind Shadow Gyarados, Shadow Empoleon, Shadow Feraligatr, Shadow Swampert, and ofc Kyogre/S.Kyogre/P.Kyogre. I'd get a high ATK IV one.
Going by dps for PvE it's actually the 2nd best (without megas). Only behind shadow kyogre. I really hope they add shadow kingler soon. That's going to be good also.
I think the cut in the editing of the video says it all ; ) ,but how do you compare Rhyperior and Rampardos? because in terms of damage, Rampardos is better, and with the update which allows you to heal all the pokemon at the same time, the fact that it only has a little HP is no longer so disturbing.
I now live next 2 a park and I have over 15 poke stops in the area the grunt spawns are crazy got 30 grunts within 4.5 hours and I got so many good shadow pokemon definitely a good time 2 grind my shadow pokemon I started early last year in pokemon go
i got the timeless travels special research and it does worry me because i want shadow kyogre and i don't go out much so What if giovanni switches his pokemon and i completed some tasks for timeless travels would i still get kyogre?
Dude...my shadow Kyogre SUCKS. Why is it....I get a damn near a hundo regi- rock and gigas but the one I actually care abt, is terrible. This game hates me, I swear.
I feel you bro. purified my mewtwo, and it’s only gone up from 0 to 1 ⭐️ REAL SAD! I’ll definitely have to trade it somewhere near the future cuz I don’t have anyone nearby who plays pokemon, only one friend at school. He lacks stardust though, doesn’t really have any legendaries, nor the time to do much trading.
You do realise purifying increases Ivs by a set amount (by 2 in all stats) so you just wasted a 0* shadow mewtwo which is way way better then a normal 1* mewtwo
@@TasBienJOHTOif you purify something the ivs are not randomized, they just get upped by +2 on each stat. And keep in mind a 0/0/0 shadow mewto is better than a hundo normal mewto. So you just made the biggest mistake ever honestly

I have a 98 Shadow Metang that I've almost best buddied. Any speculation on if/when Meteor Mash might come back in the picture? I have some good Metagross but no MM 😢
The kyogre I got was 0*...pretty useless Even if it is still good raid attacker, it would make more sense for it to come in raids considering the candy investment
If I chose to NOT evolve a shadow Mon but use a charged TM will the final evolution still have a normal charged attack or will it be wasted and I have to use a charged TM again for this rocket event?
Isn't landorus (terian form) 1# non mega raid attacker? He got a very nice move and also went to #2 in master league. Anyway very good video and you are always helping alot.😊

Otherwise; any Shadow Kyogre above 900 CP is DEFINITELY a keeper. (With 927 being the Hundo)

Can we still stack super rocket radars with them being built in to the other research?
yes should be - seeing timeless travels is not part of the regular giovanni researches you should auto get the new one when it drops

Do you ever get a good shadow? Because I never do.
can you please revise it again as there has been big move changes and i was wondering if any grunt is worth going after currently
