0:00 Error 404 we don't have stardust

[@aaralyninity.tricks]

Watch out for stardust bonuses

[@one-sidedghoul]

Also XL candy ,elite TM, Extra meteorite 😅

[@orangeroadlove7185]

hahahahah

[@Ekheim]

Don't forget that Terrakion is an excellent pick against Team Go Rocket. 3 fast attacks and then a charged attack. That's helped me burn so many shields against leaders.

[@MrJbattle17]

I also recommend lucario with power up punch or melmetal, with legacy moves bc they have decent resistances and are very strong

[@melihsarica91]

Attacks?

[@Ekheim]

@@melihsarica91 double kick/sacred sword

[@SashyAnnabanana]

My rural self to stardust & candy: I don't even know who you are

[@CS97660]

Good thing tanking in pvp can get you over 1m dust and 500 rare candies in 3 months.

[@icycoldfurnace]

@@CS97660from just loosing every match?

[@timnimigean8971]

​@@icycoldfurnacegenerally you want to win 3 from a set, then lose 2. Maybe every so often lose 3 out of 5 and win 2. If you do that, your ranking will stay low enough that you will have easy matchups and you'll be able to win 3 out of 5 consistently, just purposely lose 2 from each set to keep from ranking up

[@timnimigean8971]

​@@icycoldfurnacealso you can lookup the level requirements for go battle league. You can lose like all your matches and still reach level 10 or something. Just by completing matches you level up. After that you start having to win some but youll get to 20 pretty quickly then just win 3 out of 5 each set to keeo your rank down

[@blissstated]

It took me several years (-4 yrs) of being strategic and grinding for good 91%+ IV’s for at least 90% of the meta/ pvp and shadow versions of each attack/ defence tiered Pokemon! A lot of them I have like 2-3 each for raid/ gym attacking purposes lol I’m pleased to finally see everything fall into place and though most aren’t maxed out, they’re close or over level 40+! My niche now is meta relavant shiny shadow Pokemon, niched gym defending Pokemon and adding a third attack for pvp relevant Pokemon 🥰 Though ppl always make fun of my lack of stardust they quickly realize that I have a well rounded overall team in every typing! 😤

[@Quackerz2023]

Hell yeah i get that too. We got no stardust cause we building a damn army 😂

[@Hohzaye]

What are good gym defending linemen?

[@Quackerz2023]

@Hohzaye me and my girlfriend always have a blissey 500cp, and a gardevoir 500cp. They compliment eachother great in gyms Others could be slaking, metagross, alolan muk, tyranitar Try to put pokemon with lower cp because they keep their health for longer

[@vaiuuii]

Tyranitar and Dragonite should also be here.

[@Manannam]

I thought about Ttar too but problem is that its fast move Smack Down is legacy, so no quick changing by regular TMs.

[@ace-byronjohnferdbulan8687]

Right ttar and dragonite should be in here

[@MetallicDec75]

Def dragonite he's my fav go to battles raids etc. ❤

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

​@@MetallicDec75Dragon types are cool but they're basically useless for Raids when I have a team of Mamoswine and Shadow Mamoswine with great IV's.

[@Eeveeking201]

I was worried about what to power up for so long. This really helped me out!

[@ldsoliz]

Absolutely love these type of videos you put out!!

[@nikgokuhil]

Very helpful list, I've been trying to get good shadow excadrill for quite a while, rhyperior, mamoswine and garchomp have been a blessing to me, if nothing else, I got a great team of ground and rock types

[@BnBLion.]

Im shocked not to see groudon on the list

[@AdventVFX]

its the best ground type with the primal and a beast in Master League, absolutely worth investing in

[@lcjcurt2089]

should have been right there in the top 3, probably replacing dialga

[@BigPat216]

I would say it's more important than Mewtwo and Ray

[@0111DTheProphet]

You're the man. This is the type of video we need. I rarely powerup pokemon out of fear of wasting it. Videos like this calm my fears lol gotta spend it eventually lol

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

The Pokemon Go Gamepress website has a Attacker Tier List with all of this info and more. No need to wait for a KZbin video.

[@bradbester2259]

Always making the most relevant and useful vids for us much love daxi❤️

[@regal222]

Great video with new PVP season and go fest coming up!

[@josenavarro4314]

Rayquaza has always been my favorite pokemon and I was happy to see it coming back to raids because I wasn't playing when it first came out. But I work and don't have the time to go to places for raids. Thought maybe I can remote them but no, it's not happening which sucks. Oh well

[@josephmcneil7427]

I’ve been steadily building out a team of shadow mewtwo: 5 with psystrike, 5 with shadow ball, and then between those put a second move on 5 for elemental coverages.

[@pokeninjaofficial]

This video is so helpful I have millions of Stardust that I don’t know what to use on!

[@korzork]

Awesome video man !

[@phillipleety]

Thank you so much. This is so useful

[@caustic1611]

[@liamod8599]

Just the video I needed 🎉

[@andrewtucker2014]

Big fan of this list, I wish I had this when I started playing!

[@bunnysuicide7952]

3 pokemon I missed on this list: Swampert, got a strong mega, good for both water and ground type raids attacks, and great in all 3 leagues. My favourite non legendary besides Mamoswine And then Kyogre and Groudon. The primal versions are super strong, the best in their typing and both are great in the master league too. I’ve used them much more often than Dialga or Yveltal

[@ancalagon7772]

In PvP for zekrom, almost everyone runs fusion bolt. Wild charge makes it a better closer, but fusion bolt is more consistent since you aren’t debuffing yourself.

[@TherealWottie]

Keep up the banging content 🎉❤

[@donaldtNS]

Hopefully the raids coming out of Go Fest are in the Mewtwo / Rayquaza tier for legendaries. The latter seems possible with the season being Flying themed but given that Mega Ray is in freaking Elite Raids, who knows.

[@Pokenews-pf7mx]

Good information now i now how i needto juse my stardust😅

[@RenaissanceTheRevolution]

Can I use the shadows if they still have frustration? or normal version for now?

[@Anne-qk3ch]

I'm with Pokemamma, I have some powered up Mammoswine that I use constantly. Great for rockets too.

[@clink50]

Where do we go to find the updated rankings for raid attackers like you've listed in the video here? I see the link to the raid attacker rankings, but I was expecting to see where it says something like Mamoswine is #1 ice attacker and #6 for ground attacker for example.

[@christopherlawyer4214]

I'd make a case for Gyarados being a fantastic value pokemon. In the master league #29/24 (shadow). In Master Premier #7 (shadow)/#4 regular. As a water attacker Mega #5/ Shadow #7/ Regular #10. As a dark attacker Mega #13, (not top 30 for either shadow or regular). As a dragon type attacker Mega #29. It's got good value in PVP. The mega can be used as a water/dark/barely dragon attacker. The non mega can be used as a water attacker. And candy/xl candy/mega energy is easy to get by walking.

[@CentrureAstrike]

I think Salamence/Shadow Salamence/Mega Salamence deserves an Honarable Mention. After getting access to Fly in the new Season, it's Raw Power as a Flying Type Raid Attacker even without a Flying Type Fast Move is CRAZY. It even has a higher DPS than Regular Rayquaza WITH Dragon Ascent. (Which is even more absurd considering how broken Dragon Ascent is) The best part is that you don't really need to switch the Fast Move, and you can just leave it on Dragon Tail, unless the raid boss you're fighting is a Grass Type, then in that instance Fire Fang is better.

[@jaikhurana9079]

Dax how do you get a meteorite? Will they be available during the elite raid day?

[@M3M3M32]

@pokedaxi any chance you might update the video with the Map tutorial for Pokemon go sc2 cells? Seems the DL links/apps you are supposed is no longer valid. Or I am doing sth wrong. Any ways would appreciate some update there since that map helps out alot when you send in Pokestop submissions.

[@finalboss1015]

Tip also for Roserade: it has a baby form, meaning you can also add the second move for a discounted stardust cost. 10k for budew, and 50k for Roselia and Roserade.

[@ryanhelm1813]

Just got past the budget power ups, im not sure how gyarados with legacy aqau tail missed this list. Great in the ML, especially when legends/mythics are banned. Can use it for stab water dmg or stab dark dmg as the mega. Also gets a dragon moveset if you need to use it for like a non stab dragon attacker (only if you really dont have 5-6 higher level pokemon that counter dragons).

[@yemichu]

for shadow pokemon, do i have to get the good iv or i can just evolve it? bcs most of my shadows are only 1 or 2 stars

[@G1mute]

I have a shadow garchomp that if purified could be a hundo should I do that to use it’s mega or just keep it high ivs shadow I don’t really know what would be better

[@regal222]

Can you consider making a video about the PVP Pokémon that need XL candy and a lot of stardust so we can maybe save for that?

[@thecaptainatlas]

I need Mewtwo raids to come back! My favorite Gen 1 Pokemon. Definitely going to spam raids the next time I can.

[@thomasaldridge3179]

I also think shadow dragonite deserves a mention, good in all 3 leagues and as a raid attacker too

[@almightyelm5695]

I feel there is a massive oversight here being that Palkia Origin forme is currently the best Dragon raider a great water raider and literally destroys everything in its path. Currently the best Pokemon in the game right now.

[@TreFKennedy]

Zekrom and Reshiram top 5, you love to see it

[@JoaXinPerez]

Good video, but I'm surprised Palkia wasn't there 😱

[@trickle2257]

I really liked this video. I think it would have been more informational if you added the rankings for the non shadows. You really only commented the shadows ranking I really would have liked to seen both rankings for the shadow and the non shadow variations. video was very nicely done I liked the format and the on screen layout well done. Just add the non shadow rankings and it would have been perfect.

[@vitezoman5]

Currently on my list of getting hundos are for the weather trio, more specially for my boi Groudon and for Rayquaza. I do have my one and single meteorite from Go Fest and I'm waiting for a hundo or a shundo (if I'm lucky) because I don't want to waste it on a Rayquaza that is like 89% in terms of IV's, which is currently my best one. Let's hope during the mega Rayquaza raid day I get the luck to get a hundo so I can use it on

[@oscarsantillan12]

🔥🔥🔥video 🔥🔥🔥

[@Dizz2019]

You could argue that yveltal is good in master and pve. Ive used it even without its legacy move to wild success. That and dragonite are both great.

[@lelouchchanbc]

During the Scorching event, at least boosted hatch rate for Charcedet and Larvesta will be good enough but Niantic even does not do this too!!!

[@Gunjan_C]

bro can you please tell for every type raid attackers to power up (non legendary) and can you please mention IV's also

[@lorenzopintavalle4303]

i have a shiny 94 Medichamp with the mega evolution, should i power it up?

[@DrThunder2004]

For Dialga/Palkia Orogin, it is worth noting that you cannot get their special move via Elite TM.

[@user-eu9md5dm8p]

I think Origin Palkia should be on your top 5

[@tf8327]

What about Metagross? What about Marchamp? What about Lucario? What about Togekiss? I use them on daily bases. And as a secret wappon Gholdengo... Hard to get, but very good. And honorable mention Melmetal as easy to get Mystical. By the way I love to use my Yveltal...

[@kevinliu9061]

is a regular mewtwo with psystrike stronger than a shadow mewtwo with psychic?

[@01gengargaming4]

Run focus blast in PvP , it's a very underrated attack with full of suprise , can 1 hit ko many

[@301nav]

Yveltal is actually gonna become really good in Master League once the Necrozma forms become common after global GO Fest

[@gabriyelp]

Zekrom has an ER score 97% as high with Wild Charge than with Fusion Bolt for PVE so not that bad of a deal to use your Master League Zekrom for PVE too. And Mewtwo has a 93% ER score with Psychic compared to having Psystrike in PVE. Clearly not as good in PVP though, but it means if you already have a Mewtwo for the Master League with Psystrike, it's probably not that useful to Elite TM a Psystrike on it.

[@pokeballdkdenmark8464]

I can't believe you don't have Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon on your list - boosting the entire raid like Mega Rayquaza (a bug not much talked about prevented that from working for Mega Ray until some unknown time this year).

[@joshberg307]

2 pokemon I'd add cuz they're phenomenal, swampert and melmetal I'm constantly using them, melmetal is easy to get a ton of candies

[@KaiaKaito]

I would add Metagross and Togekiss to the List Both are good/amazing in Raids and have good use in the Master League AND Metagross will get the mega in the future which will be great x3

[@the_flamingeagle]

3:05 correction: shadow rampardos is the best rock type attacker excluding megas

[@fictionworld1289]

That is in terms of dps, overall shadow rhyperior is better as it has enough bulk to land some charge moves

[@FusionGZone]

I was just about to search this

[@jestdevz8623]

Tyranitar, Salamence and Dragonite.. I think must also be on the lists (specially Tyranitar).

[@rayhan3704]

Should also add giratina origin, it sees alot of play as a ghost raid attacker, and in pvp, being useful in all 3 leagues.

[@RedRum1347]

Chanderlure is actually really fun and pretty decent in master premier

[@_al7111]

daxi i have hundo shadow darmuka should i evolve it or pover it up??????????????

[@MrWadeBarrett]

No, transfer that garbage

[@fictionworld1289]

Upto about level 35, that should be good enough

[@CJ_Dub]

Garchomp is the goat, and my personal favorite pokemon

[@lordcorporal4247]

Like so when he says rhyoerior on the list he really just only means the shadow right? it’s probably not worth one of my guaranteed luckies is it? Would y’all use up a lucky for regular rhyperior?

[@battleground4094]

Where can I see which moves are best to use on Pokemon for PVP?Where can I see which moves are best to use on Pokemon for PVP?

[@AdventVFX]

I personally wouldn't recommend Zekrom, its very slow in DPS I feel compared to something like Shadow Raikou, Shadow Electivire, or Xurkitree and its PVP relevance isn't too crazy right now.

[@basillah7650]

really hard to get a good shadow raikou depends if you lucky enough to get 100 iv anyways on any of them

[@miguellugo1058]

I got a Shadow Drilbur. IV 15,14,6 is that worth powering up and evolving to excadrill

[@W1nter0o]

Yes perfect for raid

[@DegradeableOne]

Are shadow 2* better than normal 3*?

[@smudgey1572]

Fun fact shadow exca is also the number 3 steel type raid attacker(metal claw and iron head) so it’s essentially the most useful Pokémon on the entire non legendary list and perhaps overall.

[@fictionworld1289]

Less than garchomp

[@smudgey1572]

@@fictionworld1289 true that good call

[@deoxysfan1117]

Good thing I got a shundo terrkion and a normal hundo as well

[@sayanbiswas757]

I'm powering up my shadow Mewto (15/13/14) is it worth it or should I purify it?

[@thebunGD]

I’d say powering it up is worth it but purifying it is the dumbest thing you could do.

[@rockyvidal1678]

So....is the best fast move for Mewtwo Psycho Cut or Confusion? You said Psycho Cut, but the infograph has Confusion.

[@RyanS3817]

You should have also said what the non-shadow ranking was for each in its type instead of just the shadow ranking. Good shadows are harder to come by with people having more chance of having a good non-shadow.

[@thekweewee]

Agree. I'm a returning player from 2017 when shadows didn't exist. I only have access to the current shadows

[@aspot_lo5800]

I am waiting for part 2

[@LilItaly]

I am a new player to Pokémon GO and have not played Pokémon games since generation three. A written list would be very helpful because I'm not even certain how you even spell most of these let alone do I know what Pokémon they evolve from so I don't even know what to look for

[@biggrex979]

I need help, I have a shundo origin dialga (very lucky, i know) but I am still very split, it has roar of time, what should I do

[@basillah7650]

if it has roar of time you got best version

[@Deqade]

Im surprised metagross isn’t on this list, Ive gotten so much value out of mine but i assume its because its psychic typing doesn’t get much value

[@17Gecko]

Surprised groudon and kyogre arent on here 🤔

[@chris2656]

Does it matter if they have bad IVs? I have some of these shadows, just not good stats on them

[@ultimpower9350]

for shadows it really doesnt matter imo

[@viktorjohansson8397]

IV does not matter to much, its 10 % damage differance from a 0 % iv to 100 % iv. So the 20 % damage on shadow outclasses regular whatever iv it is.

[@juraganash2809]

I am surprised to not see Swampert in here

[@sourfeet4676]

The weavile are my favorites

[@yehonatana1716]

how zekrom and altered dialga are both ranked 12?

[@monuow]

Also if u consider both pvp and pve and accessibility, DNite and Metegross should make the list!

[@iubalum2013]

I enjoy seeing double-legacy Mewtwo in Master League.

[@vaiuuii]

Why not sceptile instead of roserade? It is mega, also better grass attacker. Also Tyranitar is just better than Weavile by a mile, also has mega as bonus. Also why not Metagross? Future mega, already best steel and useful ML.

[@mareczuczek]

I have all od them powered up. If youre doing duos its necessary to have the best of the best

[@DeviousDrew100]

No groudon??? Top ground raid attacker (primal version) Good fire raid attacker (primal version) - super effective damage against grass with fire punch while giving you extra candies #8 in master league
