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.

[@MP-ej9pw]

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).

[@Sintrocity.]

Thanks for this!

[@oxygen3143]

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

[@KarloBlaze]

I also used Purified Ivysaur and used Wine Whip, Power Whip and Return. Just for fun. Return is pretty much only useful against opposing Poison Types.

[@danyoh]

If you're below level 45, DO NOT PURIFY the cheaper pokemon (1k to purify)...save those for level 45 requirements.

[@nicholasroman6814]

I asked about this a few weeks ago so it really helps to know

[@wingspantt]

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.

[@determineddaaf3]

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.

Thank you, I’ve been sitting on a 96 shadow Sable eye and had NO CLUE.

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!

[@1upmushroom13]

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.

[@jodyzhu3718]

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.

[@kingswagger8300]

Ye shadow scizor is only available through Jessie and james who never come often

[@raynl.4683]

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.
