I got the chance of catching the red moltres using the daily adventure incense. I used a golden rasberry and an ultraball, made an excellent curve throw, and it just jumped out and ran away :(
Agree with all but the first one. Your radar does not get wasted if the balloon goes away before you manage to beat Giovanni. The radar will be usable until you beat him. It is true it will be another Giovanni, possibly with other secondary pokémon, and therefore your previous strategy could be not valid anymore. But other than that, having Giovanni in a balloon is more efficient
I don’t understand it honestly I just get the balloon whenever it shows up same with the shadow Poké stops what’s the difference and are 0star shadows still good depending on cp?
6:45 there actually was a way to check IV back in 2016. Each team leader would have a special dialogue explaining how strong each of the three IVs were and at the end would exclaim something like “it’s the greatest I’ve ever seen” for the coveted 100%.
Actually, the appraisal dialogue wasn’t there when Pokemon GO released, it was added few months after, then in 2019 they added the stars, but you could still check IV’s even without any appraisal dialogue with apps that calculated IVs using the Pokémon stats and your trainer level.
Also some "noob mistakes" I've seen people do, particularly in raids: -Yes, you absolutely must tap your screen for you to do any damage. Don't just go in the raid and look at your screen. It won't help. Not one bit. -Check/learn about type advantages. The "team suggestion" the game provides does not necessarily always provide you the most optimal team setup to go with. -The mega evolution bonus in raids only works when you actually use the mega evolved Pokémon in the raid battle, and only lasts so long as the Pokémon is being used in the battle. You cannot just mega evolve a Pokémon, not use it, and expect magic to happen. -Yes, it is absolutely lovely that Blissey is such a tanky monster that can take a lot of damage from that legendary before going down. Blissey however will barely do any damage at all. You are better off using a Pokémon that gets KO'd more quickly but can actually pack a punch, than by relying on something tanky just to have it survive as long as possible. Not to mention, other players might get really irked at you not pulling your weight DPS-wise. -Don't act entitled or bossy to other players. (how is this not common sense). Applies to everyone, not just noobs, however it is even more so frustrating when some level 18 kid is playing a "know it all" and being bossy and rude. At a low level, you generally truly need these higher level players to carry you through legendary raids. So when people are basically helping you get in a free win, be grateful. Don't be all "f* you if it's not weatherboosted I'm out!" or "only 5 players rather than 6 joining? Raid would take too long to my liking. BYE." or "YOU ALL ARE IDIOTS, NOT USING ICE TYPES AGAINST MEGA GYARADOS. IT IS DRAGON TYPE SO WEAK TO ICE!!!"

Huh? If you're talking about the Campfire thing where people gather for raids from a distance, the chats seem to always only provide pre-set words for the conversation (ie: "ready!" "not ready!" "hello!" "bye!" "caught a hundo!" "thank you!")... Is there really a place for people to do custom responses or are those all just assumptions you've made on why a person would leave a raid party? And once I figure out how to return to a chat after a raid, I will gladly go back and thank the group for helping me beat and catch legendaries.
Speaking of the #3, that reminds me of a story I read where this person had NO IDEA what the appraisal was and only kept high cp Pokémon while transferring the low level ones. Once someone told him the proper way of checking the ‘Mons, he discovered he had barely any 3 stars but plenty of 2 and lower ones. And he had a pretty high storage of Pokémon too…
That's how I used to play, but that was on my mom's phone a few years ago so obviously now I know to appraise them, on my mom's phone I had almost nothing but 1 stars
the eevee name trick works more than once for me. u just gotta change the name back to the original name. for example: rainer makes vaporion and unless u change the name rainer back to vaporion, the name trick wont work but once u do, the name trick will work again.

For #2, there are certain Pokémon that are good at defending gyms and only defending gyms - nothing else. If you want to put powerful Pokémon in gyms, put those in. (Blissey, Snorlax, Chancey, Wobbuffett etc)
You want pokemon knocked out in gyms as fast as possible so that the person leaves the area so you take it back put trashy pokemon you are going to transfer in gym they get knocked out you transfer the pokemon and put another trash pokemon you catch in you waste their revives/potions on healing up their good pokemon you waste all their stuff if they keep trying to take the gym back.
@@natstar7864 For 1, I don’t really have problems getting revives and potions. And 2, I’m talking about when you put something powerful in gyms that you want to stay there, like when you grind for a gold gym badge.
there's a way to sort out the 0, 1, and 2 stars, though I usually don't get rid of 2 stars. its under advanced and you can select the star number you want and even see if you have a 4 star. just transferring all the 0 and 1 stars can help get the job done fast
The Daily Adventure Incense rumor is true ! Just today, I used it and a Galarian Articuno appeared in front of me ! It still ran away after throwing one ball at it but the rumor is true
I ran into a Galarian Zapdos after using a Daily Incense. It was raining and I had walked in a pretty big straight line. Unfortunately, it only gave me one chance to catch it. I used a Golden Razz and an Ultra Ball, but missed the target by a centimeter.
Ah, but the thing is, stars don’t matter (in pvp). Most of the time, this isn’t always the case, but you generally want pokemon that have very high Hp and defense IVs, and low attack. This is mostly for UL and GL, and it works because you can get your Pokémon to a much higher level while having similar cp to something with much higher attack, and it makes for an overall better pvp mon. But, since there’s no cp cap on master league, it’s much more ok to bring out hundos and 98%s, etc, there
Eevee name trick is wasted on lvl 42. Save your name trick for shiny OG trio. The rest of the Eevee's have conditions to get their evolutions, so you can easily plan those. Not those three. Besides, you'll be stuck in lvl 42 for a while, more than enough time to get the Eevees while farming exp.
@@valentinblue1952 Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon. You evolve them randomly, so there's no good way to get them unless you're hoarding a lot of shiny Eevees.
@@valentinblue1952 Don't know how to explain it any other way... The name trick only works once. The OG trio evolves randomly. Thefore to get the OG trio shiny, you'll have to evolve shiny Eevees until you get lucky. Shiny eevees are hard to come by. Hence, the name trick can skip you all the RNG trouble. On the other hand, for level 42 you only need normal Eevees, which you can find easily. So it makes sense to RNG normal eevees, instead of wasting the name trick. This whole thing only applies if you care about collecting shinies, and only regarding the OG trio, since you can manipulate conditions to get the rest of Eevees, you don't need the name trick to get those guaranteed.
4:53 The name trick is usefull for the first 3 Eeveelutions. Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon are the only 3 where you need to roll the dice. The other Eeveelutions can be targeted. If you want one of those three with perfect IV for PvP for example or you just want to collect every shiny Eeveelution, then safe the name trick.
anything other than vaporeon, flareon, and jolteon are not achievable by randomly rolling. Glaceon while evolving eevee in an icy lure, Leafeon in a mossy lure, Umbreon by walking 10km with your eevee and then evolving at night, Espeon walking 10km with eevee but hitting evolve during the day, and I'm not positive on how the fairy one works.@@taylenepalmer9119
Literally guyssss smh make pvp more enjoyable for EVERYONE not just the ‘good’ pvp players that use the meta constantly. I always try to stay away from the meta but still use good Pokémon like alolan muk, azumarill, and altaria. Sometimes I use other Pokémon like steelix, arbok, exeggutor, etc but I win less so I have to use the mukazumaltaria team 🙄
I ain’t gonna lie, that last tip was a shocker for me. I’ve been playing the game for years and somehow didn’t know shiny legends have a guaranteed catch rate lmaooo
My cousin started playing Pokémon go for to months ago and they still throw the ball straight, like how do you even do that. I tried it once today just to try it and it was actually kinda hard when you’re used to throw curveballs.
It's easy if you got a razz berry but pokemon that move around a lot that you have a hard time catching curveball is better even if you do not know about the bonus to catching. Hard for new players to do curveball on small pokemon so they just do basic straight throw.
i have friend that just started playing last month and absolutely loves the Eevee family and there first goal is to get them all. It works I guess to get a descent pokemon of each typing that is usefull but not great.
Tell them to wait untill level 41 and keep collecting good IV eevees because level 42 promotion requires to evolve eevee into all of his evolutions. I used up all the naming tricks already and now it's a pain to evolve them without it.
@@Ankit-rk4hq I don't think the name trick should be wasted on lvl 42. You get stuck farming exp anyway, more than enough time to get the Eevees, and you can start working on their conditions/candies at any point before 42 and evolve once you get there. It's much more of a pain to get the original trio on shiny eevees. The rest of the eevees all have conditions which aren't really that hard to fullfill so it doesn't really matter if you use it on lvl 42 or shinies/hundos.
You said throw a Nanab and the 100% Darkrai had a golden razz on it when you showed it lol Great tips for noobs and a really informative and enjoyable video. Congrats on that awesome Darkrai catch btw 😯
*Another big mistake is transferring shadow Pokémon without purifying them. If your going to transfer it anyway might as well purify it to earn that platinum medal*
I'm not made of candy, nova! Jk, I usually transfer when I can (hello alolan rattata), but sometimes I need those candies and it's just not worth it to throw 3 of them away to get one back. I'm not in endgame at all though, so I'm in no position to work towards platinums.
You're right that certain Pokemon are always garbage, but you really are only half right. Most Pokemon can have a wide range of stats. That's why you should should appraise every catch to find which ones to keep.
The thing about curve ball throws is so true! I had the same experience with it like when I started reading Manga a very long time ago. I couldn't understand how they could read something in complete opposite direction. But then I got used to it and had a small problem when going back to the "normal" direction of reading. When the game released, I was like; "How can people throw curve balls? Seems stupid and a little harder. Why not just throw straight?". Less than a month after the game was released, I started throwing curves and is now also unable to throw straight. In fact, whenever I've tried, it for whatever reason curves anyway, lmao!
Right??? Not to mention that I used to think it would make the throw more accurate if I'm throwing it straight and kept thinking I would never be able to get as many great or even remotely close to getting an excellent throw...but here's me now throwing nothing but curve balls and getting maybe like 30 or 40 great curve ball throws in a row xD and even as much as 4 excellent curve ball throws in a row. That's probably something I would have never imagined even possible back when I was a newbie. xD
The Eevee name trick got me good. I have this one research quest to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon at night and I don't have the Eevee I used from the quest because I'm an idiot and didn't know about the alternative way to evolve into Umbreon being walk 10km and evolve at night, I just thought the name trick ALWAYS worked and wasn't just a one-time thing. Most players that have played for even around a year don't even know about this from my experience asking friends and family about it, they should really tell you that when you do the Eevee name-trick.
well the name trick is a trick in itself, the game doenst tell you about that either, if you researched to find the name-trick, maybe you should have kept reading to read that its 1 time use only
I used to not check my Pokemon for 4⭐ I remember once I got a 4 star Pidgeotto I should have put it in a tag or something but I did a mass transfer and I had a lot of Pidgeotto my Honda was the victim
like above said, you lose the radar when you defeat him. but, atleast for a while, if you for some reason (make the dumb mistake of not having room for more pokemon for example) have to leave the ballon before you catch his pokemon he will just take off leaving you with nothing. Good bye shadow Latias, nice not knowing ya! same goes with the leaders, they seem to just zoom away unlike grunts whose defeated balloons will hang around for a bit. this letts you go back and rescue that garbage ratata that didn't seem worth rescuing 5 minutes ago. this isn't really a huge noob thing tho imo. just remember to have space for new mons and make sure you have a solid connection when you beat him.
Fun tip: another way to get glaceon,jolteon or leaf on is to use the ice lure for glaceon the electric lure for jolteon and for leafeon use the mossy lure
3:10 I do not really get this. I have been playing for years now and I only have 7 pokemons with 4 stars. All of them are kindly use (Diggersby, Togetic, Slowpoke, etc....) and even "super-duper high 3 star" pokemons are hard to get for me. When I manage to get just a useful pokemon with simple 3 stars, I am already feeling lucky. Am I doing something wrong?
Hey! Got here late but you indeed can get legendary Pokemons from the daily incense, they’re galar. Can confirm since a week ago I was walking around my neighborhood with my incense, an Articuno Galar popped up with it and I didn’t catch it, unfortunately.
I found a galarian zapdos using the daily incense and was super happy, until it fled. I'm relatively new to the game so I don't really know if there is a strategy to keep wild legendary Pokémon from running away. The best I could do was use golden razz berries and excellent throws with ultra-balls; this did not work, it fled after two attempts, and I was very unhappy. Is there a strategy I'm missing or is it really just luck that it stays in the ball?
Wish I knew this stuff like... 7 years ago when I first started playing. But since I don't give a rip about PvP and play very casually, it shouldn't hurt anything anyway. But it IS good to know! So, thank you. Just found your videos, and they've already been a huge help.
This is how I lost my Shadow Entei..... apparently I was going too fast during the catch encounter as we just hit the highway. I should of waited until we were stopped, but after the first ball, it shook once and Entei popped out and fled. Niantic luckily gave me another Rocket radar as I showed them a ss of the "Entei Ran Away" showing the battle with giovanni below it. However by the time they gave me a new one Entei had rolled over to a different Shadow... so I believe I ended up wasting in on a Suicune and was pissed. Luckily I saved 3 of them for this last Mewtwo, and had 2 for the previous previous Mewtwo lol, so I am 1 away from having a deadly 6 Shadow Mewtwo army. Going to be a pain in candy to level them all lol, plus the extra candy and dust for secondary move on all of them. Gotta have that Focus blast on at least one to destroy those Blissey and anything normal typing in gyms. 💀☠💀☠
To be honest, you are better using the name tricks for evolving three hundos to the the kanto forms. The level 42 challenge is pretty easy if you know it's coming - save plenty of eevee, walk two of them 10km and get 70 buddy hearts with another. Also save a mossy and icy lure. Having done that, the task should take about 10 minutes.
Great video. I am new at the game. Change is not something we like to deal with in life. Stockholders are the leading cause of these money problems . I hope they will listen and put players first.
18 vaporeon. I evolved 18 vaporeon before I finally got the last eeveelution I needed (flareon). So yeah, that name trick would have come in handy ( had I not already wasted all of them). I was fortunate I had enough candy because 18 x 25 = 450 candy trying to get flareon.
If your pokemon is running away you're more than likely on a soft ban. This happens when you reach maximum limit for the day. Shinies are guaranteed catches in key word: raids. In remote raids if you can't catch them; please wait 2 min for a cool down. I use to spoof and you had to wait 2 min before doing anything regardless of the distance. This rule works for remote distance raids a well.
Yeah I just hope sooner than later Lugia comes back and Rayquaza it's been Soo long. We finally got the birds back so I do have hope Rayquaza will be back and also Lugia but could they make a legendary a mega ?
@@JokerP5 I doubt it too we all know how Niantic is when releasing or whatever we still havent got arcues yet. Also does anyone know when solgaleo was last in the game ?
Well, no. Today I actually lost an encounter with Giovanni, ended up backing out to power up and switch Pokemon. When I finished doing that, the balloon had already left and I noticed my SRR was still equipped. So then I unequipped it, waited till 6 PM this evening, equipped the SRR again, and caught Shadow Latios. I just needed new TM's on my Machamp...lol. But you shouldn't lose your radar even if the balloon leaves. Just unequip it and use it again in 6 hours if you lose and the balloon floats away.
back before pokemon go got really popular i got my only shadow shiny it was carvanha and i purified it bc the ivs are bad and i didnt know wo now it just pains me to look at lol
If you want to make Coins from the GYM use a Pokémon that you are going to trash, meaning after your Pokémon is defeated, use a cheap revive and then transfer it. it means that you don't need to waist your healing on them.
Lol with 49 friends in my list if I don't use the potions then I'm throwing them out lmao... 600 item storage and still isn't enough... I limit it to 20 of each potion and no more than 150 of each ball type... and no more than 15 berry's of each type at a time... I need more coins for item space lol
@MYSTIC7 7:48 what is 100% IV catch rate vs just a normal 100% catch rate? By having a 100% IV catch rate does that mean it's guaranteed high IV's? If so then you wouldn't even need normal pineapple berries. Because it's 💯 guaranteed you're going to catch it then you don't need to use any berries. Only, one problem.. My face too shiny legendaries and used golden berries install managed for them to not be caught because they would always escape the ball or they would run away before hand. So unless im missing something, when was the patch introduced?
2:08 I live in a small city, players of pogo are few and far between so if I Ieave a pokémon at a gym, I may not get it back within the month. To get rid of this issue, I have created another account to knock my pokémons down. I am indeed breaking the TOS but I would not need to if I could get my coins every day, regardless if my pokémon has been defeated.
So, I just have to say that I couldn't beat Giovanni for the past month. I lost to him in the balloon daily. I didn't lose my super radar until I finally beat him last week. That part is incorrect.
The new incense gives you 30 Pokeballs, too. Unfortunately I'm disabled and don't get out as much as I can, and I noticed that even though I don't get many spawns with it, I do get 30 balls, which is nice enough.
at 5.05 i realized when back in 2016 I started playing pokemon go, i got told about the name tricks for eevee. which was Rainer, sparky and pyro.I remember trying these all a couple of times and it worked perfectly every single time. is it perfect luck? or was it a thing you could use alot of times back in the day?
I usually leave a *10-point Pidgey* in a couple neighborhood gyms overnight. I keep an inventory of 10-point pokemon. 10-point pokemon are cool for saying 😜 to the opposing team players when you take a gym.
I always put garbage pokemon in gyms to encourage them to get raided because I live in a relatively rural town, they tend to stay in the gym way longer than the 8 hours they need to accumulate 50 coins. Lately I've been infesting my town with 10 CP wurmples :)
I would agree with the noise one but every time I turn my volume up I get a good pokemon like a shiny I also caught galarian Articuno from a daily incense
Useless tip on the vid is about IV. IV don't change a single thing to your pokemon. When you're at the begining of the game, do not prioritize IV, prioritize Meta Pokemon with good CP.
Before IV TAB there was a way to check if pokemon have highest IV, it was dependent of what desription your guild master said during checkup, there were some words which pokemon guild master was saying if pokemon had 3 star IV.
You forgot to mention a strat that I don’t think most people use but it is helpful if you are running low in pokeballs, when you use your daily insense and are running low on regular pokeballs (I believe under 5-10) the daily insense will grant you 30 regular pokeballs. But please note to use this later in the day if you aren’t sure if you are going to go somewhere because you don’t want to waste your daily insense for balls and then get no Pokémon. So I recommend only using this when you are low on balls but if you are going on a walk then wait till then to get the balls. (I hope this helped someone out) Edit: forgot to ask if I should evolve my nundo deino that I caught a while back
The advice to power up only 3 stars pokemons is a BIG NOOB advice. Shadow pokemons are most relevant than 3 stars Ivs story. You better power up a shadow Tyra than a 100% Ivs tyra non shadow. + You NEVER SEE the difference in a raid beetween a 0% IVs and a 100% Ivs. Especially if you do the raid with 4/5+ people (but making the raid with only 2 people will do NO differences in using a 0% Pokemon lvl X or a 100% pkm same lvl.
Very helpful video! When i get power up pokemon research challenges I just power up a rando 10cp pokemon however many times I need to so as to not waste my stardust

I ran into a Galarian Zapdos after using a Daily Incense. It was raining and I had walked in a pretty big straight line. Unfortunately, it only gave me one chance to catch it. I used a Golden Razz and an Ultra Ball, but missed the target by a centimeter.
Omg same I’m only missing galarian zapados out of the three legendary birds
@@Angie_xxx I still haven't run into one, again! 😭
Knew about the gym one. I used 10 - 20 cp pokemon in my gym and every time, they bring back 50 coins :)
why havent i thought of this
Yeah, and no matter if you place a 3117 CP Blissey in: if they really want to knock your pokémon down, they will.
Added benefit, if you are low on revives and stick low cp/iv pokemon in a gym you don't have to revive it when it comes back, just transfer it
Ah, but the thing is, stars don’t matter (in pvp). Most of the time, this isn’t always the case, but you generally want pokemon that have very high Hp and defense IVs, and low attack. This is mostly for UL and GL, and it works because you can get your Pokémon to a much higher level while having similar cp to something with much higher attack, and it makes for an overall better pvp mon. But, since there’s no cp cap on master league, it’s much more ok to bring out hundos and 98%s, etc, there
Eevee name trick is wasted on lvl 42. Save your name trick for shiny OG trio. The rest of the Eevee's have conditions to get their evolutions, so you can easily plan those. Not those three. Besides, you'll be stuck in lvl 42 for a while, more than enough time to get the Eevees while farming exp.
Damn! Wish i had known this...wasted vaporeon already! Tsk...tsk...
Shiny OG Trio?
@@valentinblue1952 Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon. You evolve them randomly, so there's no good way to get them unless you're hoarding a lot of shiny Eevees.
@@Triattt I dont See what this Has to do with shinys
@@valentinblue1952 Don't know how to explain it any other way... The name trick only works once. The OG trio evolves randomly. Thefore to get the OG trio shiny, you'll have to evolve shiny Eevees until you get lucky. Shiny eevees are hard to come by. Hence, the name trick can skip you all the RNG trouble. On the other hand, for level 42 you only need normal Eevees, which you can find easily. So it makes sense to RNG normal eevees, instead of wasting the name trick. This whole thing only applies if you care about collecting shinies, and only regarding the OG trio, since you can manipulate conditions to get the rest of Eevees, you don't need the name trick to get those guaranteed.
4:53 The name trick is usefull for the first 3 Eeveelutions. Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon are the only 3 where you need to roll the dice. The other Eeveelutions can be targeted. If you want one of those three with perfect IV for PvP for example or you just want to collect every shiny Eeveelution, then safe the name trick.
Wait. Those three are you most 3 common when I randomly roll.
I had to use names to get the other evolutions.
anything other than vaporeon, flareon, and jolteon are not achievable by randomly rolling. Glaceon while evolving eevee in an icy lure, Leafeon in a mossy lure, Umbreon by walking 10km with your eevee and then evolving at night, Espeon walking 10km with eevee but hitting evolve during the day, and I'm not positive on how the fairy one works.@@taylenepalmer9119
Been playing for maybe two months now, and a lot of these tips were helpful.
Kinda sucks I gotta follow a meta. I just wanna use my favorite ones but I've been getting stomped 😔
Been feelin this since i was a small child lol it really sucks that to this day they havent worked this out better for ANY pokemon game
Literally guyssss smh make pvp more enjoyable for EVERYONE not just the ‘good’ pvp players that use the meta constantly. I always try to stay away from the meta but still use good Pokémon like alolan muk, azumarill, and altaria. Sometimes I use other Pokémon like steelix, arbok, exeggutor, etc but I win less so I have to use the mukazumaltaria team 🙄
N00b
I've gotten the galarian Moltres and Zapdos TWICE, but i haven't caught any😭
All three fleeded 💀
*fled
I ain’t gonna lie, that last tip was a shocker for me. I’ve been playing the game for years and somehow didn’t know shiny legends have a guaranteed catch rate lmaooo
Lollll
Same, I don't blame you because it isn't posted or talked about anywhere that commonly.
Do you guys ever get really excited because you catch the legendary on the first ball without knowing the catch rate?
Shiny anything is guaranteed. I always use Pinap Berries on them.
Keep several pokemons that you would like to transfer. Use them in gym and transfer them after they are back with coins. Save your revive...
genius!
My cousin started playing Pokémon go for to months ago and they still throw the ball straight, like how do you even do that. I tried it once today just to try it and it was actually kinda hard when you’re used to throw curveballs.
for real ..I threw one by accident the other day and it fricking MISSED 😵💫🤨😆 I couldn't believe it
It's easy if you got a razz berry but pokemon that move around a lot that you have a hard time catching curveball is better even if you do not know about the bonus to catching.
Hard for new players to do curveball on small pokemon so they just do basic straight throw.
I remember when I got so excited to catch a Natu, to find out it was a Ditto.
A natu
I have a Hundo ditto
i have friend that just started playing last month and absolutely loves the Eevee family and there first goal is to get them all. It works I guess to get a descent pokemon of each typing that is usefull but not great.
Tell them to wait untill level 41 and keep collecting good IV eevees because level 42 promotion requires to evolve eevee into all of his evolutions.
I used up all the naming tricks already and now it's a pain to evolve them without it.
Oh wait, he already told it in the video😅
Guess I'm one of those noobs he spoke about 💀
@@Ankit-rk4hq I don't think the name trick should be wasted on lvl 42. You get stuck farming exp anyway, more than enough time to get the Eevees, and you can start working on their conditions/candies at any point before 42 and evolve once you get there. It's much more of a pain to get the original trio on shiny eevees. The rest of the eevees all have conditions which aren't really that hard to fullfill so it doesn't really matter if you use it on lvl 42 or shinies/hundos.
Name trick on eevee is stupid because getting good iv eevee is rare enough that you got time to do the evolution so no need to rush them.
You said throw a Nanab and the 100% Darkrai had a golden razz on it when you showed it lol Great tips for noobs and a really informative and enjoyable video. Congrats on that awesome Darkrai catch btw 😯
I had the first one happen to me, it glitched. I contacted niantic and they helped me and I got another try! Never doing that again!
*Another big mistake is transferring shadow Pokémon without purifying them. If your going to transfer it anyway might as well purify it to earn that platinum medal*
I'm not made of candy, nova! Jk, I usually transfer when I can (hello alolan rattata), but sometimes I need those candies and it's just not worth it to throw 3 of them away to get one back. I'm not in endgame at all though, so I'm in no position to work towards platinums.
yes but youre wasting the stardust
Hopefully can find enough shadow starly and zubat to get the medal (1000 stardust to purify)
7:48 OMG 100%IV CATCH RATE lol
You're right that certain Pokemon are always garbage, but you really are only half right. Most Pokemon can have a wide range of stats. That's why you should should appraise every catch to find which ones to keep.
The thing about curve ball throws is so true! I had the same experience with it like when I started reading Manga a very long time ago. I couldn't understand how they could read something in complete opposite direction. But then I got used to it and had a small problem when going back to the "normal" direction of reading. When the game released, I was like; "How can people throw curve balls? Seems stupid and a little harder. Why not just throw straight?". Less than a month after the game was released, I started throwing curves and is now also unable to throw straight. In fact, whenever I've tried, it for whatever reason curves anyway, lmao!
Yes that’s true like I can’t even throw straight bc I always throw a curve ball on the right side from the screen and use the fast catch method
Right??? Not to mention that I used to think it would make the throw more accurate if I'm throwing it straight and kept thinking I would never be able to get as many great or even remotely close to getting an excellent throw...but here's me now throwing nothing but curve balls and getting maybe like 30 or 40 great curve ball throws in a row xD and even as much as 4 excellent curve ball throws in a row. That's probably something I would have never imagined even possible back when I was a newbie. xD
I started just leaving my low cp shinies at gyms even my 1 stat ones and stuff they take rhe same amout of attacks to take out as high level cps
“Pokémon like Tyranitar”
*proceeds to show a Rampardos*
😂💀
This is the sexiest nerdiest thing I’ve ever red.
The Eevee name trick got me good. I have this one research quest to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon at night and I don't have the Eevee I used from the quest because I'm an idiot and didn't know about the alternative way to evolve into Umbreon being walk 10km and evolve at night, I just thought the name trick ALWAYS worked and wasn't just a one-time thing.
Most players that have played for even around a year don't even know about this from my experience asking friends and family about it, they should really tell you that when you do the Eevee name-trick.
well the name trick is a trick in itself, the game doenst tell you about that either, if you researched to find the name-trick, maybe you should have kept reading to read that its 1 time use only

I can guarantee you i have accidentally transferred a 4⭐️😅
I used to not check my Pokemon for 4⭐ I remember once I got a 4 star Pidgeotto I should have put it in a tag or something but I did a mass transfer and I had a lot of Pidgeotto my Honda was the victim
Me also
Same here
I’m confused, I lost to Giovanni, but I kept my radar until I finally beat him, I never lost my super radar
You only lose your super rocket radar once you win against him
This guy is noob, he doesnt know what hes talking about
like above said, you lose the radar when you defeat him. but, atleast for a while, if you for some reason (make the dumb mistake of not having room for more pokemon for example) have to leave the ballon before you catch his pokemon he will just take off leaving you with nothing. Good bye shadow Latias, nice not knowing ya! same goes with the leaders, they seem to just zoom away unlike grunts whose defeated balloons will hang around for a bit. this letts you go back and rescue that garbage ratata that didn't seem worth rescuing 5 minutes ago.
this isn't really a huge noob thing tho imo. just remember to have space for new mons and make sure you have a solid connection when you beat him.

I do not really get this. I have been playing for years now and I only have 7 pokemons with 4 stars. All of them are kindly use (Diggersby, Togetic, Slowpoke, etc....) and even "super-duper high 3 star" pokemons are hard to get for me. When I manage to get just a useful pokemon with simple 3 stars, I am already feeling lucky. Am I doing something wrong?
0:04 how is bro catching ultra beast with pokeballs?!
Special research or something
Maybe zorua 🤷

Hey! Got here late but you indeed can get legendary Pokemons from the daily incense, they’re galar. Can confirm since a week ago I was walking around my neighborhood with my incense, an Articuno Galar popped up with it and I didn’t catch it, unfortunately.
With eevee i had to evolve 20+ just to get one of the main 3, i used the nametrick to get the right shiny evolution i wanted long time before
I encountered the new zapdos and articuno in a row today on the new insense, both fleed lmao
the prioritizing one is me. I didnt know abt ivs until quite recently so i upgraded/evolved bad iv pokemon and might have transfered away 3 stars
I found a galarian zapdos using the daily incense and was super happy, until it fled. I'm relatively new to the game so I don't really know if there is a strategy to keep wild legendary Pokémon from running away. The best I could do was use golden razz berries and excellent throws with ultra-balls; this did not work, it fled after two attempts, and I was very unhappy. Is there a strategy I'm missing or is it really just luck that it stays in the ball?
They have like a 95% chance to run if you don't get it first try so it's not really you. That's just how they are.
Same! It bolted after the first throw, the stinky butt! Never seen another of the birds since.
@@JessRansdellSmith That's annoying! Since they are so rare to encounter in the first place, I feel like the catch rate should be higher.
I have seen 2 moltres and 1 zados...all ran after 1 gold rapsb excellent throw with ultra ball
Wish I knew this stuff like... 7 years ago when I first started playing. But since I don't give a rip about PvP and play very casually, it shouldn't hurt anything anyway. But it IS good to know! So, thank you. Just found your videos, and they've already been a huge help.
Today I've finally found galarian articuno...
and it ran away instantly :(
Pokemon Go's toxicity in a nutshell.
Same, but I found Moltres
…Pain :d
Seen it 4 times now and still can't catch it 😂
Yeah, they have a super hard catch rate, and a high chance of fleeing
SAME
1st pogo youtuber that held my attention for the whole video. Thanks for making it interesting to watch! Subscribed.
i laugh every time i see someone brag about how they caught their shiny legendary on the first ball haha
Unless it is from pvp of the wild
This is how I lost my Shadow Entei..... apparently I was going too fast during the catch encounter as we just hit the highway. I should of waited until we were stopped, but after the first ball, it shook once and Entei popped out and fled. Niantic luckily gave me another Rocket radar as I showed them a ss of the "Entei Ran Away" showing the battle with giovanni below it. However by the time they gave me a new one Entei had rolled over to a different Shadow... so I believe I ended up wasting in on a Suicune and was pissed. Luckily I saved 3 of them for this last Mewtwo, and had 2 for the previous previous Mewtwo lol, so I am 1 away from having a deadly 6 Shadow Mewtwo army. Going to be a pain in candy to level them all lol, plus the extra candy and dust for secondary move on all of them. Gotta have that Focus blast on at least one to destroy those Blissey and anything normal typing in gyms. 💀☠💀☠
Damn I didn’t know that you have to evolve eevee to its evolutions at level 42. I already used the name tricks 🥺🥺
And he called umbreon non meta like bruh. 😑
Now you have to walk 10km with eevee has your buddy to use the name trick again
most of us did, I used them before level 42 even existed
Same did it before that level came out nice...I'm about to hit 40 as well after taking a break rip
To be honest, you are better using the name tricks for evolving three hundos to the the kanto forms.
The level 42 challenge is pretty easy if you know it's coming - save plenty of eevee, walk two of them 10km and get 70 buddy hearts with another.
Also save a mossy and icy lure.
Having done that, the task should take about 10 minutes.
3:40 lmao I make little songs out of the battle cries 🤣
Nice video as always!❤️

Great video. I am new at the game. Change is not something we like to deal with in life. Stockholders are the leading cause of these money problems . I hope they will listen and put players first.
I’ve seen galar moltres twice so far. I have failed to catch it both times though 😅
Them Pokémon have like a 1% catch date I’ve used my incense a lot and still haven’t even seen one smh my son seen one and the first throw it fled 🤦♂️
About having transferred Hundo in the past -- we can look at your Hundo Dex. Theres prolly one or two you've transferred. 😢
18 vaporeon. I evolved 18 vaporeon before I finally got the last eeveelution I needed (flareon). So yeah, that name trick would have come in handy ( had I not already wasted all of them).
I was fortunate I had enough candy because 18 x 25 = 450 candy trying to get flareon.
Keep the hard work up. Your videos has inspired me to get back into Pokemon go. I hope we can meet together one day!!
U havent watch the whole vid yet 😬📸
If your pokemon is running away you're more than likely on a soft ban. This happens when you reach maximum limit for the day. Shinies are guaranteed catches in key word: raids. In remote raids if you can't catch them; please wait 2 min for a cool down. I use to spoof and you had to wait 2 min before doing anything regardless of the distance. This rule works for remote distance raids a well.
Yeah I just hope sooner than later Lugia comes back and Rayquaza it's been Soo long. We finally got the birds back so I do have hope Rayquaza will be back and also Lugia but could they make a legendary a mega ?
Rayquaza has a mega form but idk if niantic will add it
@@JokerP5 I doubt it too we all know how Niantic is when releasing or whatever we still havent got arcues yet. Also does anyone know when solgaleo was last in the game ?
@@charlesschwartz7284 solgaleo or lunala haven't been released yet in pokemon go
Mewtwo does! Rayquaza does. Also, Groudon and Kyogre have primal forms, which are pretty much the same as mega forms.
One time I got all three, in the daily incense, I followed the same instructions. Excellent throw, ultra ball, and gold raspberry none were caught
So what happens after a raid if I run out of balls on a shiny legendary? They'll still fight back and bat the ball away right?
Well, no. Today I actually lost an encounter with Giovanni, ended up backing out to power up and switch Pokemon. When I finished doing that, the balloon had already left and I noticed my SRR was still equipped. So then I unequipped it, waited till 6 PM this evening, equipped the SRR again, and caught Shadow Latios. I just needed new TM's on my Machamp...lol. But you shouldn't lose your radar even if the balloon leaves. Just unequip it and use it again in 6 hours if you lose and the balloon floats away.
Ya I never lost a SRR if you don’t beat him you won’t lose it but if you beat him the balloon can time out and lose it
back before pokemon go got really popular i got my only shadow shiny it was carvanha and i purified it bc the ivs are bad and i didnt know wo now it just pains me to look at lol
pokemon go was really popular even before the release day...
@@KeLoman0 its not super popular here
If you want to make Coins from the GYM use a Pokémon that you are going to trash, meaning after your Pokémon is defeated, use a cheap revive and then transfer it. it means that you don't need to waist your healing on them.
Lol with 49 friends in my list if I don't use the potions then I'm throwing them out lmao... 600 item storage and still isn't enough... I limit it to 20 of each potion and no more than 150 of each ball type... and no more than 15 berry's of each type at a time... I need more coins for item space lol

@MYSTIC7 7:48 what is 100% IV catch rate vs just a normal 100% catch rate?
By having a 100% IV catch rate does that mean it's guaranteed high IV's?
If so then you wouldn't even need normal pineapple berries. Because it's 💯 guaranteed you're going to catch it then you don't need to use any berries.
Only, one problem..
My face too shiny legendaries and used golden berries install managed for them to not be caught because they would always escape the ball or they would run away before hand.
So unless im missing something, when was the patch introduced?
Here I thought I was weird for almost always playing Pokemon Go with NO SOUND.
Glad to see others share my logic.
2:08 I live in a small city, players of pogo are few and far between so if I Ieave a pokémon at a gym, I may not get it back within the month. To get rid of this issue, I have created another account to knock my pokémons down.
I am indeed breaking the TOS but I would not need to if I could get my coins every day, regardless if my pokémon has been defeated.
So, I just have to say that I couldn't beat Giovanni for the past month. I lost to him in the balloon daily. I didn't lose my super radar until I finally beat him last week. That part is incorrect.
The new incense gives you 30 Pokeballs, too. Unfortunately I'm disabled and don't get out as much as I can, and I noticed that even though I don't get many spawns with it, I do get 30 balls, which is nice enough.
at 5.05 i realized when back in 2016 I started playing pokemon go, i got told about the name tricks for eevee. which was Rainer, sparky and pyro.I remember trying these all a couple of times and it worked perfectly every single time. is it perfect luck? or was it a thing you could use alot of times back in the day?
I usually leave a *10-point Pidgey* in a couple neighborhood gyms overnight.
I keep an inventory of 10-point pokemon.
10-point pokemon are cool for saying 😜 to the opposing team players when you take a gym.
I always put garbage pokemon in gyms to encourage them to get raided because I live in a relatively rural town, they tend to stay in the gym way longer than the 8 hours they need to accumulate 50 coins. Lately I've been infesting my town with 10 CP wurmples :)
Ahh yes.. My 100% IV purified Tyrannitar and my purified Shiny Pinsir. Truly my 2 biggest mistakes.
4:33 theres a purple articuno 3000 cp and when mine spawned it had like 75 im lvl 31 and i didnt catch it but which one is more rare
2:54 when he says Tyranitar, it shows a Rampardos XD
FOR YEARS I only cared about cp until a few months ago a friend told me that stars matter. I DID NOT KNOW THEY EXISTED
4:34 I want to know what Pokémon was blurred out 👀
I would agree with the noise one but every time I turn my volume up I get a good pokemon like a shiny I also caught galarian Articuno from a daily incense
Useless tip on the vid is about IV. IV don't change a single thing to your pokemon. When you're at the begining of the game, do not prioritize IV, prioritize Meta Pokemon with good CP.
Before IV TAB there was a way to check if pokemon have highest IV, it was dependent of what desription your guild master said during checkup, there were some words which pokemon guild master was saying if pokemon had 3 star IV.
You forgot to mention a strat that I don’t think most people use but it is helpful if you are running low in pokeballs, when you use your daily insense and are running low on regular pokeballs (I believe under 5-10) the daily insense will grant you 30 regular pokeballs. But please note to use this later in the day if you aren’t sure if you are going to go somewhere because you don’t want to waste your daily insense for balls and then get no Pokémon. So I recommend only using this when you are low on balls but if you are going on a walk then wait till then to get the balls. (I hope this helped someone out)
Edit: forgot to ask if I should evolve my nundo deino that I caught a while back
The advice to power up only 3 stars pokemons is a BIG NOOB advice. Shadow pokemons are most relevant than 3 stars Ivs story. You better power up a shadow Tyra than a 100% Ivs tyra non shadow. + You NEVER SEE the difference in a raid beetween a 0% IVs and a 100% Ivs. Especially if you do the raid with 4/5+ people (but making the raid with only 2 people will do NO differences in using a 0% Pokemon lvl X or a 100% pkm same lvl.
Does the effects of a silver pinap berry are the same when catching shiny legendary as well?
Very helpful video! When i get power up pokemon research challenges I just power up a rando 10cp pokemon however many times I need to so as to not waste my stardust

I used every eevee name trick (besides Sylveon) before level 50, so I wouldn't say that's a noob mistake, it was just a pre-matured mistake
A level 50 100% slaking is funny to scare the noobs though. Well worth the stardust
