The BEST Pokémon To POWER UP In Pokémon GO

[@pogotrnr]

Apologies, I forgot to put the asterisk for Gengar’s Lick - this move requires elite tm. Also Mega Lucario is now in the game and it is the new best Fighting type raid attacker!

[@alduinGaming1]

these videos help me a lot keep it up man!! how do u get an elite tm?

[@pe_peh]

​@hpEdits617 you can get a elite tm from a community day box, or getting rank 20 in gbl. I believe you also have a chance of getting it from the 7 day pokestop streak or from a research package 📦

My guy, I really appreciate how realistic you are with all of this for newer/returning players. You distinguish the difference between WAS easy to get due to past comm day, and IS actually an OK daily spawn. You're literally the only person I've seen accurately describe beedrill mega energy drops as rare. I'm so over hearing about how "easily accessible" Larvitars and Drilburs are. I literally had to walk 300km to finally get my Tyranitar, lol. This was such a breath of fresh air, thank you good sir 😊

for anyone who struggles with Giovanni. Get a scrafty with counter and power up punch. Even with like 1300 cp it will tear the Persian apart while double resisting it Edit: yes, the other comment is correct. Make scrafty your second pokemon and immediately switch into him to stun lock the Persian. And ideally overcharge your charged move a bit so you can take minimal damage later

Just recently discovered you and have enjoyed your videos. A lil' opinion on this video: The "future" pokemons are somewhat meh to be mentioned. They just adds up to video length.

[@thebyrd433]

Very nice video! Liked the inclusion of a good number of budget picks because they often get ignored by others, and that's too bad for FTP and new players. One quibble: For me, I would have put grass types on the C tier at least because I use them against water types all the time, and my Mega Sceptile was what took down Giovanni's shadow Kyogre in just a few seconds. Not to mention ground and rock types are super-common, and grass types will take those down fast.

[@h2oBkDy]

@@JungleEddie honestly ur good either way im kinda leaning towards the Excadrill as well . Groudon is dope but it really wants double Elite TM moves so it’s definitely more of an investment

[@NanoMp40]

I'd say to put them on S Groudon. IVs doesn't make that much difference as people think and it's almost always resume by "pokemon species > better IVs". Yeah having or not the legacy moves affects but how much depends a lot. And you can farm Excadrill candies by search nests on a group or simply farm them for some time by walking. Groudon candies? That's way harder to get

Ice > Dragon whenever you're fighting dragons because you don't live long enough as dragons if the raid boss uses dragon moves.

Hi, there are a few mistakes. Grass with Mega Sceptile and Kartana make it maybe B tier and you forgot Guzzlord and shadow Guzzlord in dark types and shadow Vivillon is a potential good choice for raids. Is the reason why you didn’t include them is because you forgot or because their attacks are so close but not quite 200?

[@deathbywii2837]

shouldnt have added all the unreleased pokemon it just makes things more confusing

[@erickdorazco4469]

Why? It makes it easier like why waste XL candy on something that will get beaten out. I would suggest keep your XL candy if you’re free to play cause it’s harder for you guys to get the XL.

First video I’ve seen of yours. It’s great info for people trying to get into Pokémon GO. Seems like you are speeding through a lot of info slightly too fast though so if you are targeting that newer inexperienced subsection of players you may want to slow down the info. Also as a suggestion you should look up things like “best Pokémon that is future proofed”. For instance maybe not suggesting powering up Blaziken or Heracross because after Mega Lucario releases those two are completely invalidated if you’re going for pure fighting type damage dps output for raids. Even me with 800k catches hasn’t fully invested into my hundo Blaziken it hundo Heracross. Not worth it imo for the stardust cost to get them to level 50.

Reaches drill run fast so again ,can suprise kill it stone counters aswell as Wins against registeel+ other steel types. I guess you can figure out the play from there ;) now I wont reveal my third Great leage party member instead a spicy starter in UL.... Ultra Leage: Shadow Crobat Air Slash Cross poison/Shadow Ball A very cool pick tbh, Great at baiting shields, lately my start pokemon and had a 11 win streak. Easy to build a team upon. And usally I start and close match with him, swap after getting a shield, IF buffed can be worth staying in or just rely on a shadow ball nuke when swapped back in after getting shield nr 2.
