Top 10 Tips to MASTER Pokémon GO

[@The_Davo_Domain]

I never purify Pokemon due to shadows being more powerful, and because I prefer the shadow effect as opposed to the purified effect which I think looks dumb. Honestly prefer if there was no effect for a purified Pokemon, maybe just have the icon on the screen

[@kwasiborski]

i only purify to get any 4*, it ended up with me getting a 4* purified shuckle. never again will i purify.

[@williezhao]

Purify the 0 to 2 stars

[@henryt8249]

[@salcantaim1313]

Depends on the shadow if you should purify it,like if it’s a charizard that’s almost a hundo,you can use it as a mega charizard that is a hundo if you purify it

[@RSJimmyBobby]

My biggest mistake is on Johto tour I transfered a 100% Swinub (saw in my dex) I usually am so good at checking for 4* pokemon, but in the heat of the I want to catch as much as possible moment I didn't, was so bummed out.

Lmao I still purify. Would prefer a HUNDO than a 98% Shadow. I'm a trophy hunter mostly.

[@dalton6173]

I can tell you now purify Shadow Pokemon is perfectly fine as long as they are Shadow Pokemon that you do not plan on actually using and you have a research mission to purify them. There's also the option of purifying them because you have a full list of Pokemon you can have and you need to make room, also only purifying them so that you can get more pokeballs for when capturing a Pokemon from team rocket.

[@alignedcelery9857]

Also, shadows are good for raids and other cpu, but when it's pvp, having that extra move can get you the win, especially when tricking your opponent.

Hey, cool tips, but it helps if you explain WHY some things are. A lot of player's don't understand the numerical differences between a shadow boost (I think it's 20% damage?) and how relevant IV's actually are, since base stats are hidden in game. So it's great that shadow = good, but please tell us why! Just a good way to look at advice in general: explaining why to do something and not just telling someone to do it is a way to earn people's trust (and repeated viewership) as well as create a generally more knowledgeable and innovative player base.

[@Draxeid]

That actually kind of confuses me, why should you not purify them? It literally gives you a massive combat power boost to that pokemon no? Plus the cheaper boosts are pretty neat too I think!

[@Robin_hsr12]

A level 30 shadow 0-0-0 mewtwo does more damage then a level 50 15-15-15 normal mewtwo so please don't purify certain shadows

[@stavencapp]

0:41 It really all depends on what the IV's are for the pokemon you have in shadow form, as well as if you are going to use it for PVP or not. If you have a near 100 IV shadow pokemon, there is no reason not to purify it to get a 100. Near perfect IV pokemon are shit for PVP normal or shadow. Unless it basically has HP and def maxed out and attack 0 or close to it yeah dont purify.

[@spekdoggo8467]

I'd like to add a bit to this, 1) Evolve, yeah it's 1k XP (2k when it's a Pokédex register), but when you start grinding catches and start mass evolving with LE, the XP starts adding up. I've done around 10k evolutions which is approx. 20MLN XP. 2) Make tags for stuff that you want to max out, that you've powered up to lvl 40 and lvl 50, make tags for every GBL League. 3) Track your progress, this isn't really a tip that will make you better, but if you make progress, you will be motivated to grind even harder (or at least it worked for me). 4) Make a route that you will follow everytime you grind, you want it to have the most cluster spawns, have the most spawns in between them and have the most pokestops. You should also make multiple of them, shorter one, longer one. 5) Try to find a playstyle you enjoy the most and that you can follow, for example: Raider or Catch grinder or XP grinder etc. 6) Complete field research tasks, I know it sounds stupid, and that you probably do them, but do more of them, do as many as you can, they're a very underrated way of getting hundos, I've done around 12,5k of them, and I've gotten around 40 Hundos. The rate doesn't sound good, but trust me, the Hundos will pile up. 7) Plan ahead, not for like a week or a month, but YEARS. I'm already grinding medals just so I won't be stuck whenever they release new levels and there will be a medal task. 8) Friendship - try to fill your friendlist to the brim - cap on interactions everyday, both Opening and Sending gifts. You can raid/PvP for interactions as well - there's no cap on that, you can technically interact with your whole FL (friendlist), just by PvPing. Nickname the friends you want to interact with the most, with a • for example. 9) Rename your Pokémon - I personally have this system setup - • = Hundo, √ = Level 50, ~ = Level 40, ∆ = Shadow. If the Pokémon isn't a Hundo, I put it's IVs in the back of the name ex. ~∆Macha151512 - Level 40 shadow Machamp with 15/15/12 IVs. 10) It is important to have fun, if you don't like an event, don't play it. You don't have to push yourself, try to not get FOMO, I know it's easier to say than to actually do, but it's possible. --- I hope that these tips helped you with getting better at the game.
