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 😅

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).
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
I thought that Niantic fixed the black radar stacking cuz the new event didn't pop up and now I've moved from page 1 of the previous takeover events sigh....
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
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
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
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
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!
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....
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.
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)
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)?
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
Real happy with my kyogre 😎.. (Giovanni never stood a flying chance..😂) I’d like to personally thank mega sceptile and the charged move: double iron bash on melmatal for making this impossible catch possible! 👏👏📸👏👏👏👏📸📸📸📸 (Honorable Mention: Abomasnow, what a great and caring guy! 🏆 )
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.
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've got an important qustion!!! I encountered a 100% shadow gligar from a grunt. Should I utilize this as a Great league or as gliscor in Ultra league pokemon???????????? (I play a lot more GL pvp)
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 😢
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.😊
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
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?
ive been stacking giovanni quests ( i think i have 4 stacked atm). if i finish the timeless travels quest line, will i get the next giovanni quest line, to continue stacking??
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.
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?
Cant believe on one of my first rocket pokestops i got the snorlax and i backed out of it to heal didn’t realise you can heal in the rematch menu and i already lost twice and it disappeared 🤦♂️ mistake ill never make again now i know. Probably wont see it again

The rarity on getting one with good IV let alone a shiny with good IV is just absolutely ridiculous
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
now i wanna get out there and grind some grunt battles, good luck with the shiny shadows everyone :)

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)
Otherwise; any Shadow Kyogre above 900 CP is DEFINITELY a keeper. (With 927 being the Hundo)
This won't chance IVS - shadow legend iv floor is 6/6/6 which is higher then the weather boost 4/4/4 so doesn't change anything
This was a great breakdown and letting us know which ones can be shiny (granted Niantic doesn't forget).
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)?
you can still only hold 3 even if the limit of amount you can do is increased

Shadow toxicroak is the best non mega poison type raid attacker
Say whattt
Another good shout I missed!
Not true
Best poison non mega raid attacker is shadow gengar
@@2TheMaxKing2 no it’s not
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
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
What’s the lowest IV shadow I should consider powering up?
I would focus on anything with 13+ attack for PVE & for pvp just anything with lowish attack & highish defense & HP
I've got an important qustion!!! I encountered a 100% shadow gligar from a grunt. Should I utilize this as a Great league or as gliscor in Ultra league pokemon???????????? (I play a lot more GL pvp)
Grass, shadow torterra is stronger than shafow venasaur and shadow sceptile, the strongest grass type shadow is tangrowth for raid attackers
Wasnt gollurk one of the top ground type raid attackers tho? Also shadow toxicroak is the goat at poison type raiding
Yes missed both those!
I’m new… I was looking at the IVs and only keeping one of my pokemon who had the best IV… transferring a few of my shadow. 😭😭
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 😢
Poke gods have blessed with a

so i will save my next radar for groudon
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.😊
nah the shadows just do more damage which boost them
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

Shadow Infernape and Shadow Empoleon are both incredible raid attackers for Fire and Water respectively. The Sinnoh starters will not be slept on!!
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?
OMG I've missed so many Arlo! I thought he just has shadow Bellspout like usual
Bro my cliff still has Zubat after the event what do I do😭😭😭
Ke..ke..ke..ke..ke are what the ghost trainers say in the blue and red games.
did not know that many shadow pokemon could be shiny
I got a 10 13 15 shadow Kyogre & have 3 more radars. Don’t know if I should a another one , or just save them.
Why were the last grunt lineups so much better
I didn't get a new quest with a new rocket radar which is weird because i completed the last one, and so i probably can't get Kyogre 😢
So that smoke around the pokémon is only for shadow pokémon, regardless of rarity?
Is 14/14/0 shadow bagon and shadow dratini worth investing in?
ive been stacking giovanni quests ( i think i have 4 stacked atm). if i finish the timeless travels quest line, will i get the next giovanni quest line, to continue stacking??
you should cause I don't think timeless travels is part of the regular giovanni
Ima take a shot every time he says shadow in this video
You’d die of alcohol poisoning
are the shiny chances from these the same as 1/64 (that i heard of) from the team go rocket leaders?
I've heard that they are higher from grunts - maybe 1/128
Isn't Shadow Corphish good for Shadow Crawdaunt?
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.

In this shadow takeover event i have completed my THE TROUBLING situation Special mission but i can't see the Super rocket radar event WHY?
THe new research is called "timeless travels"
From what point do you do something with the shadows? I always get like 1 star shadows.... Also do you save all the shadows or only the ''good'' ones?
endgame raids and just save the 3* and 0 atk ones, which are for pvp
Getting a wobbuffer or gligar is quit difficult.

I have 5x shadow shiny dratini but cant get hundo dratini 13/14/15 is the best i get should i maxed out it for the master league?
Are shadow pokemon always better than their normal version or does it depend on the stats?
Almost always better
So can I equip the blank rocket radar and farm Bellsprout for GL? And just skip Giovanni when he comes through?
Are these out now ? Or when do they go live
OUT NOW!
