"IVs dont matter, till they do"

Altaria: "caw caw motherfucker"

[@rachitraghuwanshi2407]

IVs always matter till they dont do

[@Sungha123]

Finally got the Cresselia Deep Dive! I'm using the Cresselia 4/12/8 for the Great League and the Cresselia 1/15/2 for the Ultra League. Hard to get a good iv for the Ultra League. I've exchanged it 39 times so far.

[@jessicamendoza9407]

Omg the long-awaited deep dive! Thank you so much for this! 🙏🏽

[@SwagTips]

The time has come💪💪

[@greg3118]

Hot damn! I've been waiting on this one for 2 years. Thanks Swagman!

[@SwagTips]

The SwagMan is with you💕

[@ssj2trunks103]

You do realize he made a video about it am he even talk about the cress at reginals…

[@greg3118]

Yes I saw that one. He gave the base defense stat and that was as deep as it went

[@tonylynch48]

So basically you need to create a second account prior to it hitting raids and trade yourself before you buddy up too much to try and get a good one. Ain't no one making 100's of trades with 100's of random people to get this done.

[@SwagTips]

30+ trades we likely a dozen different people :B but I get the vibe, yeah😅

[@Loujemouse]

Swagman, oh holy swagman, I am eagerly waiting for the 2024 gym defense meta update xP. Love this video! Time to find someone to trade with...

[@Lambslip]

CLUTCH deep dive, thank you brother 👌👌👌

[@Rabiedog713]

Thank you for this! I got a 1/15/5 Cress (UL) in a trade today and although it’s slightly lower on the HP side (206), it has a monster defense stat (212.65). Was curious if you had any thoughts about this spread

[@Weav576]

My 1st Creseelia thay i caught from the Sinnoh Tour event research after the win 2 raids, part the reward was Cresslia, and it spawned shiny and is under CP 1500. Thus can use it for the GL its IVs are (13, 12, 15) not thr best GL IVs but i imagine it would still do good regardless. Not my 1st shiny Creselia. My 1st ever Cresselia encounter which was GO fest of 2021, also spawned shiny, and is a (15, 13, 12) that one im going to use for UL

[@Weav576]

Also based om PVP Poke, for Ultra league I ran the rank 1 IV UL Cresslia, afterwards I ran my shiny (15, 13, 12), thus my IV Cresslia has the higher score 2 more wins and 2 less loses something like that. The rank 1 has 211 defense and stanina. My IV Cresslia has 201 defense and 200 stanima and 123 attack. Meaning to say that maybe is naturally has enough bulk that it must benefit more from making the most of its attack. Mabye.

[@brix7929]

Appreciate you swag

[@alsonaarif7367]

My UL cresselia has 206 Def and 207 Hp is it still worth building?

[@Reapy108]

So if you are F2P from a rural area, the best you can do is get 1 from research, 1 from raid and the same traded from that 1 friend who plays around you. Gotta pray to RNGarceus for that then.

[@TeddybearXD]

YOOOO Dude I just got the best luck I could ever ask for...i got the 2/13/15 in a good friend trade and about died right there!!! I had to come check the stats and am still in shock

[@jonathand1996]

my 3/15/9 from 2021 has never failed me 🥰

[@SwagTips]

Big D Cress gud💪💪

[@jonathand1996]

@@SwagTips was goated in retro cup vs all the dragonbreath users like you said

[@WhosJohnGill]

So what you’re saying is I should be using my 2/13/15 Cress A LOT more 😅

[@SwagTips]

It's up to you, but the meta is pretty solid for it right now

[@Benson-mk6tv]

I'm new in POGO. May I know which pokemon pairs well with Cresselia in Great League?

[@SwagTips]

Talonflame is solid. Cress manages Water-types and helps conserve shields for Talonflame. Top it off with a Swampert or Whiscash lead to bully Bastiodon and draw out Grass-types for Talon to mulch.

[@alexpiccioni1907]

Hmm my GL is 3/10/13 160.10def/163 hp Rank 78... im thinking it looks pretty decent

[@Kelderon]

Yo Swag, does this all translate to the new Shadow Cresselia?

[@Mendini10]

Life saver ❤

[@SwagTips]

The swagman is with you💪💪

[@naomiseadragon2676]

The amount of people I've seen in the GL using cresselia is too dang high! I really want to get a cresselia for the GL and I'm happy that soon they're release another cresselia that is GL eligable, but gosh darn that will not have the low attack. I'll probably have collect a couple of cresselia on my alt account and then unfriend myself in order to get the good PVP IVs. But for right now, the one they'll give out will be sufficient for me.

[@Forged4War206]

I’m pretty sure if you unfriend someone their friendship level is still retained once you add them back. Unless it resets after a certain amount of time? I’m not sure.

[@naomiseadragon2676]

@@Forged4War206 I double checked it; you can recover friendship status with someone within a time frame of 120 days. After that, it resets. So yeah, I can do this and see if I'm just good friends with people in my community to help me out with getting a good cresselia.

[@SwagTips]

iirc you have to be unfriended for well over a month or something like that. I still keep neglecting to unfriend my wife lol

[@SwagTips]

Hey, teach them Skeledirges a lesson they'll never forget with the Atk weight💪💪

[@naomiseadragon2676]

@@SwagTips For some odd reason, my response didn't show up. But basically you need to unfriend someone for 120 days before it resets. Either which way, I'll be happy with the free GBL cresselia for the time being until I can get a better one. Something is better than nothing.

[@JsonSK]

Still waiting on that UL shadow drapion video

[@thefurbyman]

Yes

[@SwagTips]

Indeed

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

So does the 2hp per 1 def thing work here? I’ve got 158.31 def with 163 hp

[@SwagTips]

The Def BP checks are hard checks for the most part. For the charge move BP ones, there can be wiggle room but it'd be good to check out the matchups highlighted on PvPoke before pulling the trigger on a new build.

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

@@SwagTips great man I appreciate it! Swag swag swag

[@Naxpix]

SwagTips coming in clutch per usual. All my GL Cresselia are 💩 but I got a 3/15/14 Cress for UL on my second try. RNG is a bitch lol.

[@charlottesphie7037]

Trade everyday for about a month with spoofer. Still dont get the iv for great league. Let alone a good pvp ivs 🤣

[@SwagTips]

I mean, 30 trades is just hitting the 50th percentile. Gotta go another month, and make sure they're Good Friend trades not Great or Ultra :B

[@victormeursault]

lmao, i've done over 100 trades easily and didn't get any of these spreads :(

[@SwagTips]

Ouch. Good Friend or higher? The probability gets wacky low even just bumping up to Great Friend let alone Ultra or Best :x

[@Hunza]

I have a 1/10/8 but I lose with it maybe I just suck

[@nathanmortensen1225]

Number of trades needed? Zero, dumb luck wins again😂

[@SwagTips]

🤯

[@jozimastar95]

Why would you even care about virizion lol I just use my fast one for Charizard and to win cmp while still winning mirror, thanks as always math Jesus

[@SwagTips]

I didnt Ultra League much this season, but is virizion no longer cool? 😅

[@t3hsolo]

Bulky raid only pokemon make this game unfun

[@SwagTips]

It'd be a lot nicer if we didn't have to go to such absurd lengths to get the good IVs for them😥

[@bigjake6foot5]

Wish casuals actually wanted to raid it 😂

[@SwagTips]

That's the tough part😅 made sure the get the card shop bois on board with saving their research ones for their favorite Chien-Pao player

[@ssj2trunks103]

I can not see who in his right mind would be concentrating on a Mon that doesn’t have any play in Reginals!? We do have better more useful mons than that! Man

[@SwagTips]

I think Cress was on the latest regional champs team? Cress is in a really good spot right now, all things considered. Heck, I've brought it even knowing my IVs could hold me back. Gotta give this girl some more credit here😅

[@jeffreyharrison1081]

Too much bother to trade cress shouldn’t be in g league

[@SwagTips]

If that's your take, you're really going to love it when Big Tina rolls into town😅😅😥

[@rebwaters]

Wow then I have gotten lucky. Managed a 1/13/10 out of a good friend recently readded to my friend list... The total CP1474 looks sucky but the bulk 🦾🦾🦾🦾

[@SwagTips]

People see that CP and will know they either have it easy or they are absolutely in trouble lol

[@rebwaters]

@@SwagTips indeed 🤣🤣😂😂😂
