It might be obvious, but a great tip if you wish o gain ALOT of stardust is to NOT throw away any type of berries. Use them fo feed Pokemon in Gyms, if possible a full gym and use a star piece if you can. It is a much better use of berries instead of just discarding them. You can never get to much stardust :)
@@Run3sc4p3g0D True, but if you feed a full gym that is still ALOT of extra star dust. Obviously this depends on how many star pieces you have and are willing to spend them.
Legacy moves has to be the worst thing in the game. “Oh you missed community day or a raid because you didn’t play 2 years ago? Well no legacy move for you unless you have a super rare item.”
Considering that this is aimed for those who don't have many powered up pokemon, I'd actually put Ground, Ice and Fighting up up to 5/5 stars with Rock, since beginners only have a handful of Stardust to use, they should use their first bits of dust on getting at least 6 pokemon from each of those types to lvl 40, or CP around 3000, then they will be covered for most of the Legendary raids out there.
Mamoswine is s big pick. Ice attacker and Electric/Fire attacker. Ground resists Electric and Mamoswine is s very good attacker there aswell. But have to watch out for Fire moves from Fire Pokemon.
I don't see this video that way. A lot of the Pokemon are from five-star, Mega, or Shadow Raids. There are plenty of nonmeta-relevant Pokemon that you can raid. He also has some"budget Pokemon." I find this video helpful because it's well-organized and specific and it gets updated each year. This allows me to spend rare candy and buddy Pokemon more wisely.
Thanks for the overall meta list- a number of the Pokémon I use a lot when I do play GBL are on it (from the great & master leagues) but I almost never play ultra league, so I'll make sure to prioritise the UL picks you mention & focus on powering those ones up. I'll be sharing this video around my little local PoGo community, as I know a lot of us horde Pokémon due to the difficulty in knowing what is most useful to keep PvP wise when you only play GBL casually lol... Love clear, concise informative guides like this one, as it makes a hard task so much simpler!
Nice list. A important information is, that you normally only need 3 good options/type (only ground/rock is so superior that it make sense to have 6 of them) As a rookie I focused on the dual Typ Pokémon like Rhyperior, Excadrill, Mamoswine etc…and finally Mewtwo (which depends on 2nd charge move is the most versatile attacker in the game… not top but always good) Ah and lvl40 is mostly enough if you have not enough dust… better to have a great large lvl40 Roster as a small lvl50 Roster. If someone starts with PoGo I wohl recommend 4 legendarys with Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre …. followed by a good roster of Rock, Ground and Ice Attackers(which are mostly not legendary)
5:01 see this is what I’ve been trying to say about the Origin Forms If they’re not going to as hard hitting as most people would suppose that they would be, then it would probably be best to just raid them for the Adventure Effects, and once you get them, then you’re done with raiding for the Origin Forms.
The origins forms hit harder because of their unique move. Im not sure why you give a time stamp that has nothing to do with what you said beyond just him saying their names.
Thanks! This is your best tips video of the year. The screenshots of all the Pokemon with movesets lined up in rows are an improvement from last year. I appreciate your corrections.
I wanna start by saying you always put out well made and helpful content, so thank you for that. However, the pvp section (great league) of this video was lackluster to say the least : DD is played with thunderbolt rather than rock slide, vigoroth is now made irrelevant by annihilape, talonflame is played with flame charge and not sky attack, medicham has disappeared after all the nerfs and his role is now played by annihilape (no annihilape mention in the list, also). Otherwise, great video as usual, keep going with the good work!
1:29, Zamazenta Crowned can’t even learn Behemoth Blade in the main series. Behemoth Blade is the signature move for Zacian Crowned and Zamazenta’s signature move is called Behemoth Bash
@@pokedaxi I'm wondering why not mention Golem as a budget option in Rock and Ground? Free evolutions after trading and its line is relatively common in the wild. Alolan form could be a useful budget pick for Electric, too. Plus, neither of them need their legacy moves in order to be useful.
Not that it's a super big deal, but I feel like almost everywhere I look everyone's just forgotten that Shaymin can learn Magical Leaf, which makes it significantly more stronger and without praying you got lucky with hidden power
@@prathmeshtripathi1501 Magical Leaf is a fast attack. And I just looked into it and apparently it's a glitch that some Sky Forme Shaymin can't learn it that Niantic hasn't fixed for over half a year by now(YIPPEE). But it doesn't seem like it's affecting Land Forme Shaymin, not that I'd recommend switching forms to test it anyway
If I just has 100 elite TM because 80% require an elite TM for get the right move. An idea could be to tell if there was a move that was a little less effiecent, but did require an Elite TM.
To get these moves I reccomend waiting until events were you can evolve to get the move - much easier then elite TMS - also generally the elite tm move is essential
But honestly… how many times you really use poison, flying or bug type attackers? Even fire, water, Grass is not many times per year useful if you have still a good Roster.
@@dblummanetric has higher damage per second but it’s going to die faster. Ampharos will live longer and because the mega is part dragon, it will have a lot of resistances.
It is always worth noting that he is mostly basing it on the Pokémon type. The value can change depending on sub typing and what you are facing (their types and/or moves).
One extra thing that you (and I think a lot of people have missed) is that Staraptor just got access to the charged move Fly during this season. This really propels both Staraptor and Shadow Staraptor as flying attackers. On top of that, it's Comm Day move Gust also makes it slightly stronger, and because it's a Fast Move, Elite Fast Tm's are needed less. I have 12 Elite Fast Tms, and NOTHING to use them on. I've already checked multiple times. Something to consider for your flying type teams.
@@remixchamp This.... doesn't have anything to do with my comment or PVE in general, but cool. Glad Talonflame is getting the recognition it deserves in PVP. Thanks for your pointless insight.
Is it just me or is it impossible to link to Scarlet/Violet for Gholdengo? Managed to do it twice. Been through PoGo support for months until they said to contact Nintendo Switch tech support.
Correction to Cresselia for Ultra League would be with Psycho Cut, Grass Knot and Future Sight. Better results using those move sets. Also G-Weezing with Overheat instead of play rough has better play. All in all, awesome job brother. Thanks a lot for all the info. Gonna be helpful for many trainers globally. Im good as it relates to PvP but the raid attackers definitely helpful for me. Keep rocking it mate.
I appreciate the effort that this kind of video takes to make, and just wanted to add that on the Pvp side of things, while Medicham is still good, it does not want to run psychic anymore. Psychic got a big nerf this season, so most people will want to run it with either dynamic punch/power-up punch and ice punch.
This is a great video, which gives so much information, and yet to be the best video it's missing one thing? CONCLUSION! I find out you do this a lot, say so much but don't have the expert guts to make a decision, to put your personal opinion on the line there. Maybe I should ask Chat-GPT for a conclusion? something like...having said all of these who are the 3-5 best Pokemon to invest in power up to level 50! another thing you forgot is what is the different cost of powering up to level 50! Shadow Pokemon will demand 360 XL candy and 600K dust, whereas Lucky Pokemon will demand 296 XL and 300K dust to power up. My conclusion to this video: only power up: 1. Lucky Hundo Pokemon - if you have the XL 2. Rare Pokemon that are unique in their effectiveness. 3. A Pokemon you really love, for example, I did a regular special trade and got the Zacrom 100% with the perfect move-set, I will want to power this from level 40 to 50 someday.
Really good list! But isnt Meteor Beam way stronger on Gigalith than Rock Slide? And i kinda miss my Shadow Luxray. I thought its a pretty strong Raid attacker too?
TY! I’m a pretty new player and my goal for 2024 is to get more into raiding. This video helps a ton in helping me decide where to devote my somewhat limited resources. Caught Latios and Latias day in Mega Rajds in Central Park this afternoon tho!
If you are newish to the game, the "Budget" Pokemon he mentioned are a great place to start. Even if they are outclassed by the top picks, your raid partners will love seeing 6 level 30-40 Machamps from you vs 1 Trerrakion and 5 Snorlaxes.
Shadow crawdaunt (in grunts now) with crabhammer is close in dps with kyogre, and has a pretty good ER value. Hard to believe but it's true according to gamepress' spreadsheet. Actually, he is *ahead* of shadow kyogre with hydro pump in dps. Course, he has a lot less tdo. Shadow kyogre with surf/origin pulse, no matter the IV, will be the 2nd best water attack to Primal Kyogre. Suggest everyone get at least one.
Thanks for the tips. I marked 63 pokemon to prioritize leveling them up. Most of them to level 40, some to level 50 (they're lucky), and some to the 1500 or 2500 cp cap
Has shadow luxray’s damage been recalculated or something? Because when I check gamepress dps spreadsheet it shows that it’s right behind shadow Zapdos. I know it’s not the easiest thing to get right now, (the shadow form) but it’s not even mention here. Am I just reading the spreadsheet wrong?
I have to say that the video is very informative as it should… For Beginners or/and Players Who Stop Playing 2Years Ago Am Came Back… Niantic had have been very STRONG in the idea of starting the life of this game as much as possible am for that end they HAD RECYCLED RAID BOSSES none stop… not to mention that we are missing a lot of Pokédex Mon por Region! Finally As PvP goes a Mon can be good for 2-3 seasons am a simple move change am that Mon is over… very difficult Am dangerous to power up a Mon at the end of a season…
as a Solo player i struggle battleing raids, how can i get people to beat raids? any app? i have pokegenie but dont know how to use it, could u make a video please? or what u people suggest? i need powerful pokemons, thanks
Still chipping away my goal of every lvl 50 perfect Mega pokemon, max mega level, double moved. At 9, which for starting 4 months ago, it's not bad. Especially for a urban area
I will add someones who were fortgotten in each type: Electric typing: shadow manetric and shadow luxray are also top dps Fire typing: shadow blaziken,shadow infernape Ghost typing: shadow banette and shadow mismagius Grass typing: shadow vectribeel is good and shaimin it's optimal with magical leaf as fast atackk not the hide power
What if someone does not own any of these good mon? Is it better to not Power up anything? Nvm there is a budget Version. Perfext for me as New f2p in a rural Region But is there any Tipps for THE first mon to build or just Take any i have. And should i as beginner Focus on Mond with high cp or the same Species with good iv. I just have 300k starduat and just reached lvl 32 so i dobt own many xl bons For exanple i have many high cp absol. But zero 3 Stars and 0 two Stars. Just one Star and 0 Star. Are they worth? These days we had the electric event. So should magnezone my first strong mon? The only high cp mons i have are low iv absol rapidash and many many fight pokemon around 2k. And 2 legendarys not upgraded after RAID. The only pokemon of the whole list i have enough Bonbons and high iv ones is magnezone. Maybe Mankey too but there i wait for com day
Hello daxi,so for example grandbull belongs in great league and ultra league not up there so much for master ..so I kept a great league spread and an ultra league spread ,should I start keeping master leuge iv spreads as well for these raiding pokemon..or could I use the one I powered up for ultra or great.. I thought them there moves from PvP poke ,but as raid attackers the probably need different moves ..right ? And iv is not as 'significant ' in great and ultra as it is for master .. sure.. but is iv relevant for raid attackers since the ultra league grandbull is 67 master and 99 ultra and I kept him in ultra with his PvP moves ,so how do I manage getting a grandbul to perform as a raid attacker ,is it DPS there god moves have in raids is what makes all the difference ..or .. this is like that mega sabalaye who belongs in great league spread in pokegenie delema I have .anyways cheers to your excellent work ,this will be a expensive action packed month looking like 💪

Quick question! Stone Wrecker Rhyperior can only be obtain during special events?
Has shadow luxray’s damage been recalculated or something? Because when I check gamepress dps spreadsheet it shows that it’s right behind shadow Zapdos. I know it’s not the easiest thing to get right now, (the shadow form) but it’s not even mention here. Am I just reading the spreadsheet wrong?
do you power up pokemon with 3/4 stars or with low atack for pvp ? like low atack iv?
Also solgaleo can be a good raid attacker if it gets steel move like metal sound for now we can use it with iron head
Lacks fast steel move
Wish you stuck a graph in somewhere of the type hierarchy. Rock being S-tier, poison and big being F-tier, exXC..
thanks for all the tips daxi!
Just out of curiosity what is the background song because it is amazingggg
I have to say that the video is very informative as it should… For Beginners or/and Players Who Stop Playing 2Years Ago Am Came Back…
Niantic had have been very STRONG in the idea of starting the life of this game as much as possible am for that end they HAD RECYCLED RAID BOSSES none stop… not to mention that we are missing a lot of Pokédex Mon por Region!
Finally As PvP goes a Mon can be good for 2-3 seasons am a simple move change am that Mon is over… very difficult Am dangerous to power up a Mon at the end of a season…
Mega latios is better as a dragon type raid attacker or as a psychic type raid attacker?
Psychic because Dragon is by far the strongest type overall and too much competition
Thanks
Thank you for all the info you provide!
Thank you for this video daxi. Needed this
as a Solo player i struggle battleing raids, how can i get people to beat raids? any app? i have pokegenie but dont know how to use it, could u make a video please? or what u people suggest? i need powerful pokemons, thanks
INSANE vid, Congrats!
can u update a guide about IVS and which npokemon power up with the correct ivs ? thanks
How is it possible to use cresselia if it comes from raids and it is impossible to get a good iv for pvp?
you need to trade for it
22:18 rampados seems to be a budget attacker, but i cant find any cranidos for a very long time🥲
They have been a part of many events, primarily Ultra Unlocks and Adventure Week.
Glad to see skeledirge here I am a new player and it's one of my favorite in the GL with these exact moves.😊
Still chipping away my goal of every lvl 50 perfect Mega pokemon, max mega level, double moved. At 9, which for starting 4 months ago, it's not bad. Especially for a urban area
Yo keep it up!
is brutal swing a non legacy move for tyranitar?
I have been waiting for this ! Thanks!
How do you get two moves on a shadow pokemon? Every single time I try to get rid of frustration it says it can't be gotten rid of
I will add someones who were fortgotten in each type:
Electric typing: shadow manetric and shadow luxray are also top dps
Fire typing: shadow blaziken,shadow infernape
Ghost typing: shadow banette and shadow mismagius
Grass typing: shadow vectribeel is good and shaimin it's optimal with magical leaf as fast atackk not the hide power
A awesome video daxi thanks a lot for this tip 💪
How are there comments from days ago? The video was posted 2 minutes ago xD

What if someone does not own any of these good mon? Is it better to not Power up anything?
Nvm there is a budget Version. Perfext for me as New f2p in a rural Region
But is there any Tipps for THE first mon to build or just Take any i have. And should i as beginner Focus on Mond with high cp or the same Species with good iv. I just have 300k starduat and just reached lvl 32 so i dobt own many xl bons
For exanple i have many high cp absol. But zero 3 Stars and 0 two Stars. Just one Star and 0 Star. Are they worth?
These days we had the electric event. So should magnezone my first strong mon? The only high cp mons i have are low iv absol rapidash and many many fight pokemon around 2k. And 2 legendarys not upgraded after RAID.
The only pokemon of the whole list i have enough Bonbons and high iv ones is magnezone. Maybe Mankey too but there i wait for com day
Imagine being 1 of the worst defensive/offensive types in main series games but being the strongest in a mobile game.
Fairy types took that personally
In master league, did origin dialga better than normal form? Because I'm in dilema huhu
so..is shadow metagross with crappy stats better than a perfect iv one?
yes
Hello daxi,so for example grandbull belongs in great league and ultra league not up there so much for master ..so I kept a great league spread and an ultra league spread ,should I start keeping master leuge iv spreads as well for these raiding pokemon..or could I use the one I powered up for ultra or great.. I thought them there moves from PvP poke ,but as raid attackers the probably need different moves ..right ? And iv is not as 'significant ' in great and ultra as it is for master .. sure.. but is iv relevant for raid attackers since the ultra league grandbull is 67 master and 99 ultra and I kept him in ultra with his PvP moves ,so how do I manage getting a grandbul to perform as a raid attacker ,is it DPS there god moves have in raids is what makes all the difference ..or .. this is like that mega sabalaye who belongs in great league spread in pokegenie delema I have .anyways cheers to your excellent work ,this will be a expensive action packed month looking like 💪
This is awesome. Thank you for making this
very informative, Ive never even seen many of those you mention in shadow form.
Are these best pokemon at any IV? Or do they become bad with poorer IV and Lower IV higher IV pokemonwhich are not here take thier place?
9:13 Iron Boulder is Rock/Psychic, not Fighting.
I have a shadow blazican and if I purify it it'll be a 96% should I for the mega
Does Toxicroak have cross poison? I don’t think it’s available rn
Thanks for including Shadow Staraptor as 3rd Best flying type raid attacker :D!
