I never purify Pokemon due to shadows being more powerful, and because I prefer the shadow effect as opposed to the purified effect which I think looks dumb. Honestly prefer if there was no effect for a purified Pokemon, maybe just have the icon on the screen
Depends on the shadow if you should purify it,like if it’s a charizard that’s almost a hundo,you can use it as a mega charizard that is a hundo if you purify it
Literally the first thing he mentioned about not purifying shadow Pokémon hurts so bad 😭. I didn't know this a few years ago and i purified my near perfect iv Tyranitar...just because i thought getting that stat line to the max was the best choice... and the stat line was literally almost in the end so i purified it for no reason....😭
I can tell you now purify Shadow Pokemon is perfectly fine as long as they are Shadow Pokemon that you do not plan on actually using and you have a research mission to purify them. There's also the option of purifying them because you have a full list of Pokemon you can have and you need to make room, also only purifying them so that you can get more pokeballs for when capturing a Pokemon from team rocket.
Agree 100%. Except, I always purify or transfer. I am not a noob! But team Go Rocket has done this to these Pokemon, and they are "suffering." It seems against the spirit of the game to "rescue" them, only to leave them and use them that way. I know it's silly, but they look so much happier after they are purified! :) Besides, I'd rather have the hundo! All other tips were spot on! :)
But its a choice youre making to improve your fun! No shame in that!!! Not everyone plays the game for the same reasons. For me, its all about the Pokedex and filling it up. 😖
Ya it literally makes us as bad as the games villains to basically keep them suffering to make them more powerful (the irony of him showing shadows mewtoo lol)
Its difficult for me to even do anything im only level 31 trying to reach 40 but and i haven't done big raids because I don't have the right good pokemons or friends on there so ive been trying to do everything solo
My biggest mistake is on Johto tour I transfered a 100% Swinub (saw in my dex) I usually am so good at checking for 4* pokemon, but in the heat of the I want to catch as much as possible moment I didn't, was so bummed out.
Hey, cool tips, but it helps if you explain WHY some things are. A lot of player's don't understand the numerical differences between a shadow boost (I think it's 20% damage?) and how relevant IV's actually are, since base stats are hidden in game. So it's great that shadow = good, but please tell us why! Just a good way to look at advice in general: explaining why to do something and not just telling someone to do it is a way to earn people's trust (and repeated viewership) as well as create a generally more knowledgeable and innovative player base.
That actually kind of confuses me, why should you not purify them? It literally gives you a massive combat power boost to that pokemon no? Plus the cheaper boosts are pretty neat too I think!
Pretty cool of you to say if you want to stay updated on the game to watch yourself or other creators like you. Mad respect for not dogging on other people in your same field, bro. Love this video, keep up the great work!!
Hi! I just recently came back to this game, and remembered your channel. Im surprised that you still upload daily! I really enjoy your videos, and admire the dedication.
5:39 I've learned this the hard way when I accidental transfered my Rhydon which was carrying me in battles at that time when I wanted to Appraise it. At least now I have my one and only Kyogre which is now carrying me lol. This was literally the last time I've seen a Rhydon or a Rhyhorn...
@@sslixxx Yea, Rhydons and Rhyperiors are really strong. I've caught like 3 good Rhyhorns, kept one, deleted one and evolved one. I have a 3391 3* Rhyperior :D
That was good stuff! I just wish I had this video...SO long ago! I have done so many of those rookie mistakes, its embarrassing. Thanks for the great vids bro! Keep up the great work sir!
Got back into the game last summer, didn't know what shadows even were, but I got a 98 shadow swinub, and my only knowledge about them was that if you purify it, the IVs go up, so naturally, I purified it and regret it to this day
C'mon, JT Gilly tip 4.5, always have a transfer tag going for those double transfer candy events. It's an old tip of his but I'm always happier when I do it.
Similar to Hundo checking is to research what the good IVs of the Pokemon spawning. Some events can be great for the not so good Pokemon if you get IVs like 0/15/15 for GBL
I accidentally transfered my 1900 fully evolved pidgey (I forgot the name) and I was about to mega evolve it too. Can I get a rip in the comments for my pidgey.
If you use auto rec knowing you’re going to raid a boss more than once, yous not a real one. Contribute to the team and help us all get through faster please. We get more balls and rewards that way lol
Thanks you... I started to play in 2016 also... my first shadow Mewto... I purified 😞😓 now I'm waiting for an event we can special trade shadow pokemon..
Watching this, I realised I should never have purified my 3star shadow machamp. It struggles so much against giovanni and I thought it would be so easy
I refuse to be shamed for purifying my apex Ho-Oh, the effect is awesome and I don’t really care that I don’t have it for PvP/Raids. I’ll leave my Apex Lugia shadow so I have one of each
0:41 It really all depends on what the IV's are for the pokemon you have in shadow form, as well as if you are going to use it for PVP or not. If you have a near 100 IV shadow pokemon, there is no reason not to purify it to get a 100. Near perfect IV pokemon are shit for PVP normal or shadow. Unless it basically has HP and def maxed out and attack 0 or close to it yeah dont purify.
Lol I love how your PVP stardust demonstration went sideways. It was the rare time where they were only giving items. It would've been much cooler if rare candies were there.
U might not see this comment but what about max iv low wp pokemons? should i grade them up before evolving? Are they even worth the recourses? Should u even max wp before evolving?
I literally blame Niantic for creating the special task and research/field tasks that require purifying shadow Pokemon for the noob mistake of then purifying them
But it is worth purifying a Pokemon that can mega evolve, because shadow Pokemon cannot mega evolve. And the Mega evolutions are often better than the shadow versions.
If they are purified you can get them off with a normal charged TM and if they are shadow you need a elite charged TM or a normal one during a takeover event
So my thing is if I’m leveling Pokémon that are meta relevant how am I supposed to level up three abomasnows? Or do anything else seeing that most of the pokemon I don’t level are at 1k cp? lmao
when i was lvl 2 in pogo my friend purified my dark gible to make it 100% iv and i regret letting him do it but then again i was only lvl 2 so i didnt no shit
And btw I think he started around July too that’s when basically everyone started to to play my brother and his freinds on there bikes every where getting Pokémon
My problem is i buy a event ticket and dont even know how to use it wtf ! I missed july 3rd cuz i had no clue how to get in Also have passes that i cant use and research that ive done but wont register that ive done them im on auto update and have uninstalled and reinstalled already and looked for updates.. nothing the games starting to frustrate me also having to buy pokeballs and remote raid passes every other day is not cool for people who dont have a ton of stops around us without walking a mile first.
I downloaded this shit yesterday and I have no idea what tf he is talking about this game is ridiculously complex wtf is he talking about and why can’t I play at home only when I’m at places where I don’t want to play Pokémon go can I play Pokémon go
I never purify Pokemon due to shadows being more powerful, and because I prefer the shadow effect as opposed to the purified effect which I think looks dumb. Honestly prefer if there was no effect for a purified Pokemon, maybe just have the icon on the screen
i only purify to get any 4*, it ended up with me getting a 4* purified shuckle. never again will i purify.
Purify the 0 to 2 stars
I hate purified Pokémon as well. So annoying to look at and look really nooby
plzz can we connect in pokemon go

Lmao I still purify. Would prefer a HUNDO than a 98% Shadow. I'm a trophy hunter mostly.

This was me with a 98 iv charmander BUT this was before they made shadows strong. When shadows first dropped in the game they were useless.
You're NOT alone. I think it's something that should be removed from research. I try to purify trash and it still hurts my heart. Ahhh
Whenever I get a task that says "power up a pokemon X many times", I always use low CP pokemon, to use the minimum amount of stardust.
Same
yeah same here too its very effectionate
Instead, keep the pokemon you want to power up tagged as such. Then use that dust towards them. Why waste even a small amount for nothing?
0:17 noooooooooooo I purified my mew two, thinking its better...
