Shadow Cresselia Caught! But should YOU Catch It? (Pokémon GO)

[@FriedWafflez8208]

I'd say the next shadow legend will be rayquaza, and the only reason its cresselia rn is because mega rayquaza returned last week, and it would be kinda strange to have rayquaza return one weekend, and the next week it debuts as a shadow

[@mambo0714]

I don’t think thats the reason why they held off on Shadow Rayquaza because back in March Groudon got a primal raid day and literally the weekend after it’s shadow form was released

[@Pokelocks]

so i catch this one i cant catch rayquaza?

[@arjavjain7229]

@@Pokelocks you can, but when rayquaza comes out you will only get 1 super rocket radar. whereas if you dont complete page 1, and close the research, you will be able to save multiple super rocket radars for rayquaza. if you go past page 1 you will not be able to get the next takeover's research and not be able to stack it.

If they stick with the shadow Sinnoh Legendaries I wouldn't mind a shadow origin form Giratina that's my favorite form and personally I like shadow ghost types I think they look neat and besides while we unfortunately will never get the original shadow Giratina I think it would still be neat to have it

[@OriginBubble7]

I think shadow cresselia is Giovanni’s new shadow because the world championships is soon and that cresselia is an amazing great league Pokemon and shadow cresselia would add some spice to the competition

[@feraligatrcomedordecabeludo]

the thing about cresselia is how bulky it is, that's why people use it. as a shadow, it loses it bulkiness and becomes worse than the normal form

I thought I needed to finish my other rocket Eee search so I cleared it and now I have too many items 😭

[@katiewilliams2729]

I plan on getting shadow Cresselia just because I go after all shadow legendaries but the only ones I have multiple of are shadow Latios (because I had a ton of research that I completed the 1st time I defeated Giovanni) and Regigas catching it from Giovanni and the 1 we got from whatever event it was that we got an extra 1 from research I don't remember if it was timed research or special research but aside from that I've only got 1 shadow legendary per rocket event

[@jsmit5635]

I always catch shadow legendaries the first time just for the dex. With the ability to Raid Shadow Legends we will eventually get a chance to get a lot more of something if we want to. You mentioned shadow Darkrai. They’ll probably wait until the end of next season to do another Rocket Takeover, but it would be cool if they gave us shadow Darkrai during the Halloween Event. Whatever they decide to do I will be very excited when they release shadow Darkrai because it’s one of my favorite Pokémon plus shiny shadow Darkrai would look so nice with the purple flames since shiny Darkrai is purple!

So I caught and purified my Cresselia, but now I'm unsure of whether or not to TM away the Return move. I usually swap out Return pretty quick (unless its a normal type pokemon for STAB) but with Cresselia, I cant find any data on Return's damage performance. I did find ONE site that described Return as being Cresselia's second highest DPS charge attack (after Future Sight), but no data to support such claim. Any knowledge or advice on the subject?

[@lthelion4647]

Not in the slightest. So Id say Just User the highest dps one

The only other Mythical I was lucky with was Zygarde: 13/15/14. Not maxed yet even if complete, but damn I won/win a lot with it in ML until 2300 Ellis (where I switch for hundos/almost hundos Pokemon level 49 to 50 ahah)

[@dennisreynolds1503]

Shadows usually require ten percent more candies but the game sometimes doesnt show it. Click on the mon and add another 20 rare candies if it requires 100 and then it will let you do it. Had this same problem with my shadow exca took me ages to work it out

Guys, If I don't want to catch it, can I stack the super rocket radar for the upcoming shadow ?

[@shinobi_shesh3015]

You can stack it if u do a glitch were you need to complete just the first page of the special research (don't claim the rewards) and the game will count the mission as non active so you can stack mission till giovanni gets a shadow that you want then you can complete the mission and stack super radars but remember to keep a mission so you can stack them for other shadows.

Usually the answer is no to purifying a shadow legendary pokemon. But in this case it could be good purified. But either way it's not particularly useful.

[@lelouchchanbc]

Gigatamax Pokedex will be completed during Galar Tour which is held as early as year 2028. I am thinking Pokemon Go is still alive by that year?

[@damienhardy289]

There’s still plenty of player but until 2028, I think hat if they want to keep at least close that as much as today, they will have to increase the trainer lvl (heard it was in discussion to increased to 60), just hope it won’t go same for the Pokemons, it’s already a pain to get lvl 50 and can be pricey to level them up… and review some prices in the store. Like the remotes or the incubators (never bought any incub personally, too pricey for the very low results it offers)

[@damienhardy289]

I mean, I knew some by the time very cool f2p, but they basically survived 7 to 8 years top (with obviously a lot of less players than the 5th year for example). Pokemon, well it’s something else since it’s a huge license. But being rural, the prices, the fact that despite there’s still a very good amount of players even lvl 50 still active, I think it will get in the same direction than those other games I talked about. At best some players will start to do like me: raising just to get a shiny, even a very bad one, transfer via home to the main game and PvP and playing there. I still play a lot to PoGo, but not as seriously I’d say and I use the official game as “an alternative” now a lot more like for PvP. Like just for PvP, since Palkia O. And now Necrozma, there’s practically no diversity in the teams. If it’s not this, it will be a Ho-Oh team (and in practically all those team there’s a Landorus as well. Live this Pokemon but still). While PvP on Violet for example… you basically have practically everything (and you can get everything out of the games, console and then DLC for free. Still an investment, but regarding the years you use it with what you can spend, and what you spend on PoGo in a way shorter amount of time, there’s a huge world). So I guess they will have to make so true modifications. Usually for the f2p, their fall was because of prices and because it was becoming more and more pay to win. If they keep the current system, I think they won’t be much people left in 2028 and I even think that we won’t see the Tera system on PoGo (more interesting than Gygantamax imo). So… or a general decrease of prices (remotes or incubators as I said), or the remote are open to shadow raids now (but with invitations only for example). I love PoGo, but how it is right now, I have a hard time to see the game still as “alive” in 2028

[@brennankelly4080]

So if I haven’t finished the last challenges for rocket then I don’t get these challenges until I beat Giovanni and catch shadow cresselia? I was trying to skip this one and save my super radars but maybe not if I don’t get the challenges

[@gianluca8346]

You can hold phase 1 of the quest to stack them. If you go past phase 1 then you have to complete it to get the next quest.

[@katiewilliams2729]

This is how the special research during rocket events work you get the new ones as you complete the old ones and whatever shadow legendary Giovanni has at the time of completion is the 1 you get so right now if you were to complete all the old rocket special research you have you will get Cresselia everytime I don't know how stacking super rocket radars works I've never saved any I usually just complete the research completely and catch whatever shadow legendary Giovanni has that's how I ended up with multiple shadow Latios I had a bunch of rocket special research including the 1 that I got during either a go fest or tour event I don't remember which event I got it from but I had the paid ticket for the event and it was the only time Apex shadow Lugia and Apex shadow Ho-Oh were available when I defeated Giovanni for the 1st time I completed a ton of research including the 1 that I got Apex shadow Lugia and Apex shadow Ho-Oh from

[@FrankVaessen-j8o]

Why is there a delay when you do a grunt etc?

[@TheMadSnorlax]

If you switch Pokemon during grunts/leaders/giovanni, it causes a delay/stun lock on the opposing Pokemon for a few seconds. (The same stall happens when shields are used on either side) Makes a HUGE difference and helps a ton. (He explains it with visuals around 38 seconds into the video)

[@FrankVaessen-j8o]

@@TheMadSnorlax But you/JT still haven't explained WHY it happens, because I know about it, but I wonder WHY it happens, Niantic could easily remove it, because in my eyes it doesn't make sense

[@TheMadSnorlax]

@FrankVaessen-j8o it's there on purpose / by design. Most rocket members wouldn't be possible without the stall, especially since they scale to your level. (For example the exact same grunt with the same Pokémon is way harder at level 50 v.s level 20)
