Hannibal Rex posted:Can someone give me the lowdown on Shadow Pokemons? You can remove return(or frustration) for the low low cost of "a single charged TM"; once they lose return they go back to the normal move pool. I've been going for every Larvitar I can find from rocket stops in the hopes of them bringing Smackdown back this december.

Hannibal Rex posted:Can someone give me the lowdown on Shadow Pokemons? As just posted, shadow larvitar is pretty rad if you get one with decent IV pre-purify, since it'll cost less to power up. I have a 794 96% I'm now grinding out the candies for a tyrannitar. Y'know, cause larvitar are so dang common and all.

Hannibal Rex posted:Can someone give me the lowdown on Shadow Pokemons? They just look cool. They have no advantages or disadvantages fighting as your Pokemon. If anything, they are more of a negative because they cost twice the amount of stardust AND candy to power up (so think like up to 400,000 stardust and 400 some candy if you want to max one out). The majority of them are caught with really low level, so most of them will cost a fortune to power up purely just so they have the red eyes and dark flames. Evolving costs the normal amount of candies at least. The exclusive charge moves they get by default as a shadow Pokemon (Frustration) and after purifying (Return) are pretty garbage and would only get STAB on normal type Pokemon. You can easily TM these moves away. The game really pushes for you to purify them because not only would it remove the stardust/candy cost penalty, but it would raise them automatically to level 25 (plus getting that airy white aura around them). That said, it's up to you how you spend your stardust. A lot of people just stop after evolving a shadow Pokemon because that's all you really need to show one off at a gym. It hardly matters for its CP unless you're gonna use it in raids or you play PvP a lot locally. Powering a shadow Pokemon for a serious gym defense isn't worth it because nothing is hard to take down in gyms ever.

If you don't have a full team of Tyranitars for raiding, evil Larvitars aren't a bad way to get there, but they don't help much with the candy situation. Or I guess Dratinis if you want TEAM DRAGONITE. How's Snorlax with Return, usual caveats about Normal-type damage aside?

Return is still considered the worst charge move for Snorlax. The only advantage it has is as a gym defender where it fires faster and is harder to dodge.

Or I guess Dratinis if you want TEAM DRAGONITE. If you don't have a team full of (Bite/Crunch) Tyranitar for raiding then you should be doing Tyranitar raids anyways. The main draws of shadow Larvitar are - Guaranteed level 25 post-purify, the same level as a weather boosted normal raid - The purification IV boost effectively means you have a higher chance of getting something good since any shadow 8/8/8 or higher translates to "pretty drat good post-purify" but the most critical point - If they do Community Day Replay again, the only way to get Smackdown would be to evolve a Pupitar-- you can't get CD moves using TMs on already-evolved pokemon. (Shadow Dratini do deserve their own shout-out as well, higher candy costs to evolve than just catching a Dragonite in the wild, but they come pre-weather-boosted which may not be super common depending on your area) Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Sep 30, 2019 |

Yeah, maybe my question wasn't well put - I'm mainly interested, if purified pokemon have an advantage over regular ones, or if the cost of getting them a good charged move, whether by unlocking a second one, or by using a TM, is higher than the benefit of the discounts they get. I haven't been playing long, so I can't gauge how easy or hard TMs are to get. One other thing I've read is that evolving purified mons on Community Day seems to get rid of Return for free. Does the CD charged move stay on the mon if you evolve it a second time? Or do you only get it on the last evolution?

With the exception of community day (which is the exception rather than the rule), you'll likely need to blow charged TMs on an evolved pokemon to get them to the right moveset anyways. Charged TMs have a decently-high drop rate from Tier 5 raids, with the caveat that "the drop rate is effectively tied to the number of balls you get"-- it's a little complicated but the upshot is if you T5 raid at a gym your team owns, with mostly people from your team, with proper counters to deal a useful amount of damage, you'll be getting a charged TM every 2.3 raids on average. Additionally, if you keep your eyes peeled, Niantic will occasionally have event research that rewards TMs as well. The extreme TL;DR is there's no reason to necessarily use a purified over a normal pokemon, it's just a slightly different route with slightly different costs (and for some pokemon, getting a specific shadow pokemon is far easier than hunting down an extremely rare spawn; and on top of that, you're far more frequently going to see those pokemon below level 25 than above, which adds to the candy/dust cost). Getting a purified shadow pokemon to level 40, 3rd tier evolution, optimal moveset costs 174,600 stardust, 332 candy, and 1 or more charged TMs; getting a standard level 25 pokemon to the same location costs 194,000 dust, 345 candy, and 0 or more charged TMs. Whether that's worth it to you would primarily depend on what you have in your inventory.

So since IVs are apparently not nearly as important in GO (I'm not sure if the stars relate to the IVs or if they are also a seperate thing) and combat power generally seems to be more important, between these two it'd probably better to go with the non-3 star one? I think someone here mentioned it was really only edge cases where a player would want the IVs over the CP:  I know this stuff isn't that big of a deal in PoGo but I like having buff bois

I think someone here mentioned it was really only edge cases where a player would want the IVs over the CP: Amoonguss is largely a dex filler, so either one would really work. Very bulk focused, and no STAB fast move. Roserade will be a better Grass and Poison attacker than it.

It's fairly niche in Great League. Stats are great, moves are less so (particularly its fast move options). It'll be great in the right cup format, though.

here's the thing, while IVs don't matter that much in actual math terms, around here almost universal player perception is "15 attack or trash" so IVs do matter to our dumb brains the other way to look at it is IVs don't change but you can always level something up. I tend to filter by IV so I can toss most of what I catch easily (if it's low IV it goes) and I don't worry about it too much beyond that. e: in your specific example the first foongas has 69 hp so I'd keep it for that alone

Well one is around 40IV, the other is around 80IV, with how stats work in this game, if you max them both out, the higher one will perform 4% better overall. So yeah, if you're short on stardust, always power up the higher level one, but you'll never tell the difference.

I've been running low on potions and revives, so I had to adapt my tactics. If sending waves of freshly caught cannon fodder into gyms to clear them out, and then selling their remains to the Professor's meat packing plant is the wrong way to play the game, I don't want to be right.
