1. Save your elite tm's for community day and legacy moves. If you don't have the regulars, it might be tempting to just get the damn move, but don't waste it. Stuff like typhlosion, venusaur, walrein, etc, are not good without their special moves. 2. If you can't throw 5-10 bucks into remote raid passes for pokegenie, be diligent on your 50 gold daily from gyms. Doing a week will give you 3 raid passes. 3. my highest preference, whatever the current league is in gbl, power up pokemon for the next one (unless early). Like if you are in during great league, power up the ultra league pokemon. get your team ready to go, not try to catch it up.

[@LylesVR]

The only reason I approve find my shadow Mewtwo and my shadow Zapdos is because it was not a Hondo and if I did purify it it would be a Hondo

[@zeraios9755]

Two more worth mentioning: Powering up low CP Pokemon for power up quests - pushing Pokemon you are going to use anyway is definitely the better choice here even if it gets more expensive. Just use a tag for Pokemon you want to power up and power them up every time you get a quest instead of powering them up as soon as you can. You are going to do it anyway and you will save the stardust you are not using on low CP Mons that would otherwise go down the drain. Not purifying 5.000 stardust purifications - to be fair, this is a niche usage and not everyone considers this a good tradeoff but purifying rare pokemon you need XL candy for can be a useful strategy to gain more XL candy. Purifying a Pokemon pushes them to a higher level and higher level Pokemon do have a higher chance of getting you XL candy when transferring. For rarer Pokemon that do not spawn very often this could be a nice way of getting some XL candies.

[@Kai-cg7jr]

I never see people talk about this tip, but what I do to quickly delete mons without ever accidentally getting rid of a hundo is just hit the 0*,1*,2* button under the recommended search tags and then mass delete all the trash/low cp mons. I make sure to leave ones with higher cp (or ones I need xl candy for during this season of go) for trading and meta relevant ones to check for pvp ivs, but this is so easy for me to do on the go when I am running dangerously low on space!

[@gamerboy_9996]

Another one is that if your friends or anyone in your raid boss party suddenly leave the raid invite at the last few seconds of countdown, leave immediately if it only down to a few people or 1 person left for the raid boss fight so you won’t waste your remote raid pass. And of course, that depends on the star tier of the raid boss.

Raids wise, I will do one or two raids for unown since here in SA we literally cannot get in the wild and any event for it is something like a go fest. Otherwise I mostly just do 5 star raids and pretty selective on 3 and 4 stars. For example I may grind tyranitar for candy and candy XL, but machamp is a no go. I catch plenty machop in the wild.

[@MirridonOnslaught]

I have been focusing on only powering up meta-relevant pokemon for the great and ultra league, as they are WAAYY cheaper to keep up. I got hung up on IV's and just not using strong pokemon with good movesets because their IV's were not ideal. i,e, I have an alolan muk that is 98% IV, but the best for great/ultra league. I tried him out and it was gaining me wins. I started to use other pokemon that didn't have the ideal IVs and started to win more. I invested a little bit in the pokemon for great league that had a higher cp so it wasnt as much dust. the amount of dust i doubled my investment. I think another common mistake is using premium passes for 1 star raids. You get free passes, and the one stars are not generally worth spending those sweet passes. Saving them for mega or 3 star raids is a better choice. I also evolved some shinies i wish i hadnt....

I transferred a perfect Porygon in my first week of play. It will bother me until the day I catch a new one. Thankfully, that was the only one. As far as purifying goes, those cheap 1 candy 1,000 Stardust ones are great for building that medal to earn those extra balls. I'd maybe suggest doing it if they have a Mega Evolution, since that provides a group damage bonus and gets you more candy; probably more valuable in raids than a solo bonus. It can be pretty useful early on; I constantly use my purified Tyranitar that I upgraded really cheaply in my first months of play, and probably would have had a harder time without it. I'm just glad I'm in a position now where I can afford to sit on shadows until Rocket takeovers, because I actually have depth at most types.

Battle Recommend team is good now most of the time it recommends the same team as something like Poke Genie and takes into consideration the raid boss moves so it can even be better only "bug" I find is that if you have a mega available for that boss it will always shoehorn it onto your team and want you to mega evolve.

I accidentally transferred my Rank 16 Ultra League Gyarados during Mantine Spotlight Hour. Now I have to get another PvP IV for Gyarados in the UL.

I don't consider using the recommended party to be bad, depending on your group. When I first started raiding I used the recommended, and to be fair, it's because I just started raiding and hadn't the proper counters yet. I was also joining a large enough group that could have done the raid with or without me, and I let them know up front. That said, as you get stronger, usually better to build proper teams. I went from raid groups no less than 5 people to being able to almost duo raids, with the damage we were short on able to be picked up by a third person using recommended pokemon (and then taking those same bosses down even faster as said third person started getting better and proper counters). I've also gone from a crafted team to a recommended relobby because the boss was low enough on health no problem, and also gone from crafted team to recommended relobby to refight because I was wrong and second time around reviving my crafted team.

Ya there is no argument for this your wrong and people who raid with u see u as nothing but a leech that isnt contributing in the slightest. So either use optimal attackers or gtfo of our raid lobby thxs
