Top 30 SHADOW Pokemon To Power Up In 2022 In Pokémon GO! | Which Pokemon Are Worth Powering Up?

[@LuckyBunz]

Have you caught any really awesome Shadow Pokemon this year? Share them in the comments! 😈

[@ctinamariie]

I don't have many high IV shadows. I'll never forgive myself for accidentally purifying my hundo Scizor. I have a 93% Weaville, 87% Shiftry, 84% Magnezone, 82% Larvitar & 80% Ralts. Can't wait to see the PvP shadow video bc those IV spreads I've actually scored on like a Rank 3 UL Mudkip.

I really love using shadow Magnezone because of the steel typing, it gives you a lot more survivability than the other electric types and it is a lot more accessible to get the shadow pokemon and the candy.

[@Juulnvm]

Better dark type

[@DavidSmith-wd4ny]

I've been waiting for this video. Your content is super useful and practical. It's great that you indicate which Pokemon are better to use for dual PVP/Raid Attackers. I'm always interested in ways to optimize in the game since there are so many ways to unintentionally splurge to no real benefit.

[@huojin01]

Glad that you made an update and talked more in depth about shadows in the beginning. Shadow PKMN are extremely expensive and not easily obtained for casual/part time players. For daily active players they're so worth the high amount of stardust that you pay to get them powered up. I hate the wait for a Rocket TM event but whenever that comes around and I remove it these shadow pkmn destroy raid pkmn and gym defenders with very little effort. One example is shadow Machamp at level 40 near perfect IVs or 90%+ IV absolutely destroys gym defenders like Chansey/Blissey, Snorlax, Slaking, etc... Gym defenders get so frustrated when I destroy their gyms they have no choice but to change their pkmn's moves to fairy type (dazzling gleam, etc.) to counter fighting type PKMN. Shadow PKMN are so worth the expensive, high price you have to pay as they make gameplay look like mere child's play. LOL

[@huojin01]

@@oneonone8855 OOOooohhh.

[@oneonone8855]

Shadows are great if you want to speed up grunt battles aswell, here is my list of shadows with their moveset that you should get at least one of ; Shadow Tyranitar - Bite + Crunch Shadow Tyranitar - Smack Down + Stone Edge & Crunch Shadow Venusaur - Razor Leaf + Frenzy Plant Shadow Feraligatr - Waterfall + Hydro Cannon Shadow Charizard - Fire Spin + Blast Burn // Shadow Typhlosion - Incinerate + Blast burn Shadow Gardevoir - Charm + Dazzling Gleam Shadow Salamence - Dragon Tail + Outrage Shadow Machamp - Counter + Cross Chop/Dyanmic Punch/Close Combat Shadow Metagross - Bullet Punch + Meteor Mash Shadow Mewtwo - Counfusion + Psystrike The key is to get a move that does so much damage like Razor Leaf or Smack Down to farm down the first and second Pokemon before they get to their charge move so you don't have to waste time waiting for their move to be used or even de-buff you (like that annoying Poliwag's Bubble Beam did not make my Frenzy Plant one-hit KO Politoad with a debuff on attack.) And then end the third Pokemon with a move that will most likely one-hit KO. This is the fastest way to get down the grunts. Against leader you should use PuP Lucario with Shadow Ball to bait out shields and have coverage with a move like Shadow Ball to do neutral damage to everything or super effective that PuP can't hit for super effective. Shadow Swampert would be a better choice due to Mud Shot charging up energy faster than Waterfall to get out the shields. One of these Pokemon above, if they got a Mega with a hard hitting fast move like Waterfall, Razor Leaf, Smack Down you can use it to replace the shadow one to use less revies, potions and stand in for a longer time. But you can only have one so make a choice what grunt you want to face. My choice would always be Mega Charizard Y due to it's bigger gap to Shadow compared to the other ones possible. But if you only want to battle for Shadow Larvitar or Shadow Cyndaquill just do Mega Gyarados. If you want to only chase Flying Pokemon for cheap purifies, do Mega Tyranitar (it's not out when writing this)

[@Kullusa]

Well, so far this year I got a few good Dratinis, Bulbasaurs, Bagons and Larvitars I'm going to power up, but my REAL flex will still be my 96%, 15-15-13 shadow Ho-oh with hidden power flying :D

It's definitely been in my backlog for awhile, but maybe I will work on that one sooner now! Thank you for the suggestion :)

[@KingTheStriker]

@@LuckyBunz For sure! It's been one of the biggest questions I asked myself since I started playing again 2 months ago for the first time since 2016. I didn't know all the Cday and Legacy moves and I'm sure I wasted a few good pokemon or Top TMs that way

I’m a lvl 32 returning player that started late. I feel like there is a backbone and fundamental understanding in Pokemon Go that I do not have. I lose to Team Rocket Grunts and I don’t have enough stardust to power up Pokemon. Also I don’t have many Pokemon that others have, mewtwo regigigas, Entei, all the legendary Pokemon basically.

You explained this pretty well, but I just want to make sure that I get this right , I started playing on September and I currently am on the field notes (defeat the team go rocket) and have the black super rocket radar for the first time, I’ve been putting off battling Giovanni to farm grunts faster far more shadow Pokémon from bosses , so can I save this radar for when Mewto comes in a few days ,use the radar for the first time to get shadow mewto (and ) possibly get the radar again in this same season or w/e time frame to get a 2nd shadow Mewto, please and thank you 🙏🏼 for replying

Yes, you pretty much got the idea of it. When Mewtwo becomes available on the 14th, battle Giovanni and complete the Field Notes Special Research. Once that has been completed, the next day you will get access to the new Special Research for Shadow Mewtwo and you can choose to carry that over or complete it right away and get a 2nd Shadow Mewtwo.

@@LuckyBunz is it possible that Niantic recently made this unable to pull off, I’m not trying to disagree but I’m seeing people say not only will I lose out on Latios but I won’t get the new field research as well, you obviously have a big channel and I’m not trying to go against the grain, but have you or anyone you know pulled this doubling up of the quest for the same shadow mon. recently?

[@Weav576]

I got a 13,15,14 shadow Feraligtr, that I caught about 3 months ago, removed frustration and gave am elite charged tm for Hydrocannon not too long after. As far as it's fast move I'm still thinking on giving it water gun, but waterfall is still good as well, as it does more damage than water gun, it just doesn't generate as much energy as water gun, so the pro with water gun is being able to charge up to fire off a Hydrocannon faster. However with shadow Feraligtr getting the buffed attack of being a shadow with having a higher damaging fast move that doesn't nessarily have the best energy gain however with a high damaging fast move with having the 20% buff of being a shadow you will likely be able to farm down/sweep your opponents first mon with just the fast move, and by the time the next mon comes out you will have enough to fire off a Hydrocannon and likely OHKO that mon. Where as if you had a lesser damage fast move with more energy in the same situation, you would already have enough to fire off a Hydrocannon before you even sweep the mon, where as I think it would be more Convenient and efficient to sweep the 1st mon with a strong fast move then one shot the next with the charged move. Alongthou it can be argued that I can charge up energy to fire off 2-3 Hydrocannons but with the debuff on defense shadows get with a lesser damage fast move, it wouldn't be realistic to even try to farm down with just a fast move that doesn't do enough damage to farm down as the opponent mon would sweep you before you could do so. But then again depends on the mon and move and likely with stab Im guess that even water gun on shadow Feraligtr would still do decent damage as well, but I also kinda like having the flexibility to Swicth between Ice Fang and bite, mainly Ice Fang for coverage

[@MikeAIright]

Keep it with waterfall because feraligator cab also learn ice beam making it like your second best ice type attacker

Since you are on the Seven Colored research, you won't get a new one after, because it was the last official shadow special research.

Might be too late to ask, but how did you stack super rocket radar? You cant obtain a new super radar if you don't complete the previous questline which in one point you have to use the old one.

Correct, so you don't complete the quest and hold that radar until the next boss becomes available. Then you use that radar and complete the old quest, unlock the next quest and either choose to hold again or complete and get the same legendary. Their are other radars that have been rewarded through timed research, but those were outliers.

That spread is pretty solid though, definitely a good consideration for an investment.

Thanks for this video! Questions: - What moveset for shadow Magnezone? (I purified the one with best IVs :(( but still have others) - For the one shadow Moltres I have, is it better to invest as flying over fire (and spend an elite TM?)? (I already have non-shadows L30 87% flyer with Sky Attack and a 98% with fire moves but still level 25)

[@LuckyBunz]

Spark + Wild Charge would be the ideal moveset. For the one that you purified, what are the IVs? You might still be able to get some functionality out of it in the Master League Premier Cup for PvP. Tough decision tbh, because we don't have as many legendary bosses that are weak to flying, but it's easily one of the best investments out there when you do need to use it. There are a lot of fire type options available, so if you have extra elite charge TMs, it is probably worth going the sky attack route. If not, I would just hold off for now. You could also give it a double move (sky attack + overheat) and then alternate between fast moves for dual functionality. It's a bit more tedious, but it gives you the best of both worlds.

hey i have a question, how can i get a shiny Charmander-Charizard ?, i battled in like 20 Charizard raids and got no shiny, and then i looked up to see, and i seen somewhere it said i had to battle in a mega Charizard raid first, is this true?

[@revblade]

Only legendary Pokemon have a 1 in 20 chance of being shiny in raids. You can still do a LOT more than 20 legendary raids and not get a shiny; but the odss in any single raid is 1/20. During community day, Charizard had a 1/25 shiny rate. After CD it went back to around 1/450. Your best bet to get a shiny Charizard is to trade with someone who played on the CD. You don't need to battle Mega Charizard to get a shiny. You only need to battle Mega Charizard to get Mega energy so you can mega evolve a Charizard. Once you have mega evolved a Charizard, you can also earn mega energy by walking with a Charizard as your buddy.

@@revblade bro, i wish i can show you my appreciation more then through a lowsy reply lol, but thank you bro, i appreciate it, i shoulda just kept going with the raids and hoped i got lucky, i don’t know anyone with a shiny charmander, damn, but legendary shinies no problem, i usually get one within the first 3-5 times ive raided, but the Charizard shiny, i did like 20-30 raids and didn’t get a single one lmao, but damn i gotta wait now, for who knows how long

[@SickTwisted]

@@revblade so its the same 1/450 like for wild spawns too?

I know shadows are 20% stronger on the attack side but I thought it was a 17% drop from the defense side, not 20%? Am I wrong? I heard this from Brandon Tan.

[@oneonone8855]

It's 20%. Then it can be more due to IVs being lower. 17% does not work, he must have said wrong.

[@LuckyBunz]

To the best of my knowledge, it's always been 20% (referencing both GO Hub and Silph Road) It could be 17%, I just haven't seen any sources where it shows the breakdown for that. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

How do I know what team rocket leaders I have beat, so I can get to Geo?

[@LuckyBunz]

For Giovanni, you need a Super Rocket Radar. You can generally get this from the special research quests I mentioned in the video (with some exceptions)

How do I know if my Pokémon is level 30

[@thelakeguardian8188]

Would a Shadow Hariama work?

[@Weav576]

Yeah almost as good as shadow champ especially if you catch one with good IVs. I recently caught a 96% shadow Makuhita and do plan to power it up even thou I already powered up a shadow champ that is 89% it's good to have more than one good fighting attacket and Im curious to try shadow Hariayama out. I know it won't quite hit as hard as champ, but for a mon that is close I wonder that if it would last longer in battle than shadow champ
