So glad you put the 1,000 dust tip at the end. So many people I've met don't save any of those to purify, so when they get a quest to purify X number of shadows, it ends up costing them 10s of thousands of stardust because they just grab whatever is convenient from their inventory.
@@wassupman911 a perfect iv set for sableye is number one even though it’s only good for some metas and I totally forgot about the mega it has too really excited about that
You don't want a hundo in any PVP other than Master League or cases where a Pokémon couldn't reach league cap without it. That said this will be a a amazing Mega one day!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention making pluckys. The power up discounts from Lucky and Purified stack, and makes sense for any Pokémon you’d want to raise non Shadow.
One more type of pokemon to purify is if Niantic ever offers the increased chance of XL candy for transferring pokemon to the professor event bonus. Since there is also a bump in levels to the pokemon when you purify it and a greater chance of xl candy for the higher level, keep your top 6 bagons, beldums, weaviles, etc. and rather than just immedietely transferring the rest hold them for the event then purify them before transfering. (credit to Brandon Tan on this tip).
If you have dozens, you can take the 0* and 1* ones without a doubt and purify for trades. Also Mewtu has 2 Mega Forms that will probably come out in Pokemon Go around 2030.
@@utubeisajoke I'd say no. Shadow Machamp is one of the best fighting type attacker (I think it's the best non legendary) so if you didn't do it yet, wait untill team go rocket takeover and remove the move "frustration" from it to something useful and get yourself another shadow Machop for pvp.
I haven’t watched the video yet, but let me guess what those Pokemon will be: 1. Sableye - this one should be obvious 2. Wobbuffet - this thing literally only has Mirror Coat normally so probably benefits even more from purification than sableye 3. Alolan Raticate - is actually quite good with Return, probably better than the shadow 4. Skarmory I guess because it’s better as a normal Skarmory? 5. I have no idea lol, Staraptor because I’ve seen quite a few videos on Return Staraptor lately? Edit: just watched the video, I was thinking of saying stuff like random hundos but thought that he would list 5 concrete pokemon lol. Was also thinking about Dusclops, but figured it wouldn’t be on the list since the shadow is apparently still quite good when compared to a normal Dusclops, and both aren’t really super meta in the great league
0:14 you forgot the biggest reason, that is, because you hate your pokemon and you would rather let them suffer in pain and frustration, than help them gain more stats and bond with you. And for that you should use a team medallion to change to Team Go Rocket and have a pokestop where you can stand the whole time. Don't forget you can't mega a shadow pokemon and it is a higher chance to get a hundo.
@@markboyle9313 yes smart as now I have a hundo mega ampharos to use. I would NEVER use a shadow non hundo ampharos. I've gotten an insane amount of use with my mega ampharos.
Another reason to purify something like Wobuffet is just cost. For a few candy you slip several levels of power ups, plus your future moves cost less candy, so purify can pay for itself or even earn you candy on certain Pokémon.
I think every mega pokémon has more attack and defense than the shadow version as far as I've seen. Provided you use the Pokemon's Mega or primal form, it should have higher stats as far as I know and get the mega or primal bonuses. Since Mewtwo has a Mega Evolution coming up, I can see a reason to purify a shadow Mewtwo for Mega Mewtwo, especially if it's a 4*, because of the Mega stats and bonuses (one that people think you should never purify). With that said, you could have both a Shadow Mewtwo and a Purified Mega Mewtwo-that way, the Shadow Mewtwo can be boosted by the Mega Mewtwo if the attack boost from the Mega Mewtwo will last the whole battle. The Mega Mewtwo will also boost the attack of other people's Mega and Shadow Mewtwos, which will be insane. Also, in my opinion, I think this video could elaborate more on the 20% defense drop and say that pokémon who have a lot more base defense are not good to purify. Registeel has much more defense than attack, for example, so it will lose a lot of it by remaining a Shadow pokémon (the stat sum is less for Shadow Registeel), and the ranks on Pvpoke reflect that by putting regular Registeel above Shadow Registeel. I also think it's the same kind of situation for Lugia. It has so much defense, and you're working against its best trait and what it's naturally good at by keeping it a shadow pokémon where it will lose a lot of that defense (the stat sum for Shadow Lugia is less too). There are also better options that you could use instead of Shadow Lugia that have a higher base attack to amplify with the shadow bonus, so I lean against Shadow Lugia after also considering its base attack isn't anything special.
I purified a high IV mareep to make it my first hundo after conemplating whether I should for about a week. I've just recently come back to the game and really don't have much in the way of a "team" set up, very much less so for the various types, so having access to a half-decent elecrtic type raid Pokemon (I'd read about and seen everywhere that Mega Ampharos is a pretty decent pick for people who don't have Kyogre/Manetric/etc) and wanted to have that hundo. I also checked to make sure that Shadow Ampharos wasn't as good as the mega evolution, which it wasn't. I still pissed off my friend when I told him. Currently, I have no regrets except that it's not been such a good time recently to actually *use* my mega hundo (who I also don't have mega energy for lol). All in due time, though. For now just powering my elecrtic boio up. Let's just say that seeing Ampharos on the list of 'Mons to purify boosted my confidence in my decision just that much more!
I was battling in go battle league and my togekiss was against Dragonite. Easy win I thought, didnt care much about being hit with its charged move either with how much health I had.....it absolutely destroyed me with return. The move can be really good to balance you out
I got a good story today. Master League is still a thing. I'm fighting with a near perfect Mewtwo, a perfect Tyrantar, and a shadow Dragonite. I came across a great battle where the ultimate final duel was my IV4 Tyrantar against a Shiny Mewtwo that learned return. I had one shield left and not used it for the sake of the matchup. The return on the shadow purified Mewtwo took out 70% of my 100% IV perfect Tyrantar. It's not something to joke about.
I have a hundo purified Wobby that I made it forget return when I was young and green :( Also, instead of just deleting Shadow Pokemon if you can spare the dust for it purify them because it goes toward your purified decks and toward your platinum metal
Slowly building up from worse ev's to max ev's 1 hundo norm 1 hundo shadow and 1 hundo purified all evolutions and base pokemons and all shinys and even pokemon i get along the way 🧡 good luck on the 2024 grind
I purified my shadow 13/13/13 to get my hundo Metagross. I don’t regret it one bit because I would have spent a lot rare candies and stardust on it, whereas I have distributed it elsewhere. Second note, Mega Houndoom is a beast.
I have a 13/13/13 shadow Aerodactyl that I think I'm going to purify since I have no intent on powering it up and using it anyway. Shadow Aerodactyl can be a strong rock type attacker, but I'd rather have the 15/15/15 to eventually mega evolve. I already have other rock type attackers anyway (Rampardos for the win) and Mega Aerodactyl has a great niche where it's good against flying type raids due to the rock type, while also boosting the candy you get from flying types.
Very informative video. But I must say, I don't understand why people comment with "I want to purify ____, should I?" The difference just isn't that big of a deal, and they should do what ever THEY want. It's great to be informed with facts, but asking other random people will only get you their opinion on what they prefer. I ALWAYS purify any shadow I'm keeping. It feels against the spirit of the game not to rescue them. But I wouldn't tell others they're wrong for keeping shadows.
My first ever Shadow Pokemon was a shadow Sandshrew that I purified and it's stats were so low that I never thought it would become a perfect IV mon... I transferred it to pokémon home...
I usually purify bad IV mons, but I'm still a new player. Gotta work on that Purifier medal. But it's a lot of stardust and candy, so after I max that, I'd most likely just transfer them.
Another trick is for knowing the 1000 dust Pokemon to purify is they will all have 1km / candy to walk and 10,000K / 25 candy to add a new move if not a baby Pokemon. 3km / 50,000 / 50 candy = 3000 dust to purify. 5km / 75,000 / 75 candy = 5000 dust to purify.
With this latest evolution cup I would almost say shadow or regular dusclops is better bc its easier to control the IV spread and ice punch and shadow punch both seem necessary. I have the purified 1 and I'm constantly needing a punch I don't have, but I don't want to TM away return.
These tips have been a huge boon. I've obtained a hundo Houndoom and a second hundo Beedrill to add to my perfect Mega's collection. My army of ballers grows.
i had no idea sableye is your fav pokemon. i caught a hundo 3 years ago in chicago which i've used a ton in GL that knows 3 moves. but after watching your video and checking my collection I also have a 13/13/12 shadow sableye. is that as good as its going to get for me?
I know this pokemon wasn’t specifically mentioned in the video I currently have a 14-15-14 shadow scizor in my bag right now, and ever since it’s mega came out I was totally puzzled on whether I should purify for the 100% IV or keep it for raid damage Thought this video would cut my problem, but I may still need some thoughts/opinions from anyone to help me out with this!
I would keep the shadow form just soley because of how rare that shadow is. You can try and find a hundo scizor through raids. Usually I try to find shiny pokemons with their megas because they look rlly cool in raids, but thats just how i play it.
It depends on what you value more and the way you play the game. Doing the math for raids, if you purify your shadow Scizor for the Mega, you'll get 40+% more value overall for both of its types (5% less DPS, but 65+% more TDO for both types) and have a cheaper Pokémon to build. However, Mega Scizor is destined to be obsolete in the future. Actually, it's already obsolete as a Mega Steel type raid attacker since Mega Aggron is better in most cases, unless the raid specifically calls for Bug type resistances, which I don't think there are many (For example, Terrakion not using Rock Slide is the perfect time to use Mega Scizor). Maybe keeping it as a shadow would have more value to you. You can powerup the shadow and use it in raids that aren't too serious just for the fun of it, or you can take it to Master League for a (VERY) spicy pick.
I have a hundo Shadow Wobbufet. Hopefully it gets a community day or move update. I deleted frustration on it by mistake. It doesn't have a second move so I'm kind of stuck with just mirror coat for now.
I have a 98% Abomasnow and a 98% Shadow Abomasnow. I've been tempted many times to purify it so it can be a 100% IV Mega Pokemon but I've held off because Shadow Abomasnow is useful in PvP.
I know it's a lame bait comment, but I have a 13/14/15 shadow Lugia. For master league regular Lugia is higher rated than the shadow version. Do I purify this Pokemon? So you know how I feel. It is a level 40 shadow right now. I'm not in a place with XL candy to make it a 50, but haven't made that decision yet. Pogo is low key ideal for procrastinators.
Thank you. Thanks to this video i chcecked my shadow camerupt and found out by purifing him it'll turn into hundo. will sure came handy when his mega evolve come out
I have a 15/14/14 and a 14/14/14 shadow Scizor and a 14/14/14 regular scizor just got enough mega energy and I'm so conflicted on if I should purify for the hundo or mega the 14/14/14 😤
While a silly reason, I tend to purify shadow pokemon simply because Team Rocket made them that way to be better fighters without regard to their wellbeing. Since, I never plan on being an uber player, I purify them to make their lives better. While it does not make good sense from a game mechanics perspective, I can use your video to justify some of my sillier choices. Thank you.
Can you do a list of best shadow 3 stage pokemon? Since the team go rocket bosses and grunts sometimes get some great 3 stage pokemon? Like i made the mistake to purify a magamite
Need advice. I have a shadow shiny larvitar 13/14/14. Should i purify it to have a purified shundo? I have already 2 better shadow larvitars on that account. A 15/15/12 and 14/15/15. Advice?
I would love it if purifying only uped defense and HP. In lore it would mean they are tougher pokemon, but more peaceful! Skilled in battle, but they have lots of restraint.
So glad you put the 1,000 dust tip at the end. So many people I've met don't save any of those to purify, so when they get a quest to purify X number of shadows, it ends up costing them 10s of thousands of stardust because they just grab whatever is convenient from their inventory.
I saved 70 but it was too many to have saved as I'm still have 35 more Defeat Leaders. So unless your buying radars... saving 70 was too many.
Ok
If you're below level 45, DO NOT PURIFY the cheaper pokemon (1k to purify)...save those for level 45 requirements.
Wow! I like the way you edited everything, great job!

Machoke, Dusclops, Sableye, basically anything that doesn’t have any good coverage moves really likes Return
I just got my first Purified Hundo: Onix. I have evolved to Steelix but I only have about 100 mega energy so I will have to wait to mega evolve.
I have a hundo Shadow Wobbufet. Hopefully it gets a community day or move update. I deleted frustration on it by mistake. It doesn't have a second move so I'm kind of stuck with just mirror coat for now.
I have a 98% Abomasnow and a 98% Shadow Abomasnow.
I've been tempted many times to purify it so it can be a 100% IV Mega Pokemon but I've held off because Shadow Abomasnow is useful in PvP.
I know it's a lame bait comment, but I have a 13/14/15 shadow Lugia. For master league regular Lugia is higher rated than the shadow version. Do I purify this Pokemon? So you know how I feel. It is a level 40 shadow right now. I'm not in a place with XL candy to make it a 50, but haven't made that decision yet. Pogo is low key ideal for procrastinators.
Thank you. Thanks to this video i chcecked my shadow camerupt and found out by purifing him it'll turn into hundo. will sure came handy when his mega evolve come out
Can’t believe I almost got click-baited into purifying my shadow hundo mewtwo
Is shadow Bannette a good ghost type raid attacker?
Finally an answer to my shadow beedrill problem!
I have shiny 15/13/15 shadow geodude.. Should i purify it for shundo?
Back when I was a dumb noob I purified an almost perfect snorlax. It didn't turn into a hundo and now everytime I look at him I get PTSD.
I purified a wobbufett to get a 100% iv because it had high stats, I had no idea it could actually be useful
I purified my 13/13/13 or whatever it was ampharos to get it hundo. I’m proud of the decision
Daxi, would you purify a shiny sharpedo 15-15-13 ?
Dusclops now has poltergeist and that just oneshots almost everything as a shadow...
Thank you, I’ve been sitting on a 96 shadow Sable eye and had NO CLUE.
I have a 15/15/14 shadow Bidoof. It's staying in shadow form and it's on its way to best buddy
I have a 15/14/14 and a 14/14/14 shadow Scizor and a 14/14/14 regular scizor just got enough mega energy and I'm so conflicted on if I should purify for the hundo or mega the 14/14/14 😤
LOVE my 💯 purified Wobbuffet! Amazing great league pokemon!
I purified a swampert today to get a 100% for when the mega comes out
Well that's a waste
Eh if it became a hundo then it was crap for pvp in terms of iv’s
@@kingswagger8300 for raids..
I got a great shadow Sableye that is now a purified 98%, I’m so excited about it 😍
That’s super exciting to get a high stat mon, but XL sableye is even better. For the XL version you want a low attack
I have 98% shadow but don't want to purify
1:07 ok so shadow lunch is dark tyoemove I thought its ghost type 🙂🤓
While a silly reason, I tend to purify shadow pokemon simply because Team Rocket made them that way to be better fighters without regard to their wellbeing. Since, I never plan on being an uber player, I purify them to make their lives better. While it does not make good sense from a game mechanics perspective, I can use your video to justify some of my sillier choices. Thank you.
Thanks for these tips on these
some day i plan on eveloving my purfied magic carp into a garadose. Ik ik its not ¨the same as a shinny¨ but it still looks cool when your in pvp.
Can you do a list of best shadow 3 stage pokemon? Since the team go rocket bosses and grunts sometimes get some great 3 stage pokemon? Like i made the mistake to purify a magamite
Need advice. I have a shadow shiny larvitar 13/14/14. Should i purify it to have a purified shundo? I have already 2 better shadow larvitars on that account. A 15/15/12 and 14/15/15. Advice?
What about shadow sceptile?
I would love it if purifying only uped defense and HP. In lore it would mean they are tougher pokemon, but more peaceful! Skilled in battle, but they have lots of restraint.
I purified my sableye when I started playing before I even started battle league it’s a 100iv and it helped me finally reach ace level 😋
1:08 I didn't know that shadow punch was a Dark type move
One Pokémon I’ll add inn
Staraptor: He has two self debuff nuke moves.With Return it’ll be somewhat good I guess
You missed Ducklett for the 1000 dust purify
I got a question I can purify a shadow shadow ivysaur that can’t be a shudo should I do it or no? I already have a shadow venusaur that’s really good?
I watched this video and the next day caught a 13 14 13 shiny charmander took your advice and purified it, now I have a shundo zard
