This is possibly the best thumbnail you’ve ever had.

[@Merennulli]

Easily your best thumbnail yet 😂💸

[@sourlemon1002]

13 dollars for this stupid ticket in Australia, for what, a Zarude that will probably be terrible, and almost nothing else worth anything? 2 raid passes? For 13 dollars? Rare candies? Not even rare candy xl? It’s ridiculous

[@ishaan_ch1136]

I see many people commenting about the how great the thumbnail is And they’re right! It’s so creative and one of the most unique I’ve seen in a while, good stuff

[@JuanOnJuann]

The answer is no btw

[@TheNinjazeke]

Thank you😂

[@gwvaio]

I concur

[@RoyaltyEntertainment510]

I was actually coming to say this same thing. Thank you. Not worth it

[@tis3000_]

thanks

[@RatherFarfetchd]

Agreed! 👍

[@rikavanderhofstad]

the thing for me is. im against locking pokemon behind a paywall period. i still need zarude for my dex. but i dont wanna give them the idea that im willing to pay for it. so i really hope its gonna come back..

[@PedroR1989]

Totally agree with you 👍👍👍

[@cats6218]

heard both zarude and Keldeo were coming to elite raids back in dec supper bummed it came out this way........hate idea of these tickets....hoping coming back

[@ModernCollectables]

Couldn’t agree with you more mate 👌

[@sambeawesome]

They always come back, don't worry. Every paid Pokemon has become free at some point. Save your money.

[@HaikesXO]

Stay strong ... we’re fighting the good fight

[@Orangefan77]

I was lucky enough to get a 98% IV the first time around, so thankfully I'm set.

[@teriannebeauchamp254]

I got a 96%, but it wasn't until a few months ago when Mystic7 did a video about one off Pokémon that I even looked at it. I have now got it to level 41 and it is so helpful

[@elite_playez3614]

You still need the hundo 👀

[@Orangefan77]

Not for $8 I don't

[@pepeeze]

That thumbnail is magnificent!

[@anamistica]

Niantic selling tickets for practically everything is absurd, especially so that we can have a new Pokémon, or worse, to get one that we already had for free. Anyway... luckily, my old Zarude is pretty decent. Thanks for the video ❤

[@Anne-qk3ch]

Lol awesome thumbnail, I would like to give monke money directly 😂

[@popester1000]

Damn bro, glad to see you still doing videos after so long.

[@mirlenlezama3521]

Melody, thank you for the extra video

[@jamespeden1089]

Nice improvement in the zarude. Congratulations.

[@alexhiggins3958]

Thanks Mystic Melody!! 🎉

[@scoobooyt]

Returning to Pokemon go after like two or three years of playing off and on, and I forgot about how much I love your videos and your vibe. Just so fun, yet relaxing. loved your guest too, had to subscribe! Can't wait to have a fun summer and spring with your vids and the game!

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

I as well, appreciate the thumbnail. It's right in many reasons. 😆 Fun seeing you and Adam back on the grind again. Makes it a lot less boring to do so. And ngl, I would walk in the Hawaiian shirt shop and score a shirt. 😆

[@orandor6249]

Congrats on your 96% Zarude! You got the same IVs I got on my Zarude 3 years ago. Since I got lucky enough with mine and I am nearly done powering it up to level 50, I’ll sit this one out. Not much incentive to pay so much for this ticket.

[@MystikMelody]

Oh no, you discovered my stratagem 🤭😂 ... Zarude makes me think about Darude Dududududu 😂 and I knew that yours was not that good either 👀. This event brings spring here, I can finally go outside without the wing hurting my face 😂. "I'm going to buy a toe ring" hahaha Maybe you can put it on your cat. That award is so cool. I agree with everything you're saying but I'm happy you got this one 👀 , you're very welcome 😊. Thanks to you for this awesome video, as always ☺️. Hope to see you soon, with the announcement 👀 ... take care Nick!

[@SquidDaBeast]

Lol you sneaky for that strategy. 😂😂 great strategy though lol

[@castell1301]

Thumbnail is awesome asf

[@linusjohansson6811]

U guys are good vibes!

[@ville2973]

It was 7,99 in the US but here in Finland it was 9,99 euros = like 11 dollars. I have already 91iv Zarude so I'm not gonna waste money for that.

[@Musicvlvr]

This thumbnail is everything😂

[@marire1]

I really wanted better IV Zarude, but 10 € is just way too expensive for Pokemon that has already been available. Especially since item rewards are mediocre. With that price, I would've expexted Elite tms or something like that.

[@a1chemi]

$8 is a terrible price for a Zarude but not bad for a Trainer Tips videos.

[@jonmurray8315]

Or DJ live DJ set

[@user-cv1ob6yu3t]

Best pogo video thumbnail ever easily

[@all-rounder6591]

Very creativity thumbnail 😆

[@lemonz1769]

You could have only gotten one in the MSGs with the movie ticket. This ticket is a way for me to have one for Go and one for the MSGs.

[@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm]

great point thanks for the reminder

[@marsalien4]

there were a couple of ways to get it for the main games--signing up for the pokemon trainer club email stuff, for one. I know I got like 5 when it came out in the MSGs.

[@VictorKimPossible]

Sorry everyone for buying it. I honestly got it for the pokedex entry, I have 0 expectations of good IVs. Everyone else, Hold The Line.

[@georgecook83]

I hate the paying for the pikedex entry. I refuse to do it. I don’t mind spending money on the game, but this feels scummy.

[@kuttysark2386]

Worth it for you lol, that was great Ivs!

[@FishingForLife28]

A guy in my group I play with bought a ticket for us each. So nice of him 😊

[@Ruinedtri]

That is lovely 😊

[@FishingForLife28]

@@Ruinedtri Really is. We were sad that Zarude would be behind a paywall since none of us really have money to spare. And then this absolute legend buys one for each in the group, thats 5 or 6 tickets

[@Mugdorna]

Redondo Beach! I was only there on Monday!

[@MemeNoya-ic4mo]

love the thumbnail

[@jendaar]

Awesome thumbnail. Sums it up perfectly.

[@lucydavies7788]

I brought the ticket to see if I can get a better IV one as my first one was a 2 star.

[@lukasmihara]

2:55 what aperfectly timed slap lol 🐒

[@jeffsmalarz7943]

I refuse to pay for pokemon and paying for a ticket that requires you to pay for incense to receive the tickets benefits is terrible

[@pabloronis]

I don't think there's a step that requires using an incense 🤔 it's easier to use one obviously as more Pokémon spawn but that's about it.

[@georgigs]

funny, got the exact same Zarude like you

[@gwvaio]

You give them eight dollars and they give you work to do and tell you to walk 8 km

[@AzecVibz-fh4kq]

The thumbnail made me giggle a bit tbh

[@jasonmetcalfe4695]

My free one was 13/14/15 so I think I'm good there

[@asiagal2]

Where did you pick up the Hawlucha.

[@lospereye]

For me, I have the one free Zarude already and I’ve never used it, I use Kartana, Venusaur, Sceptile and Torterra instead and like you said, I’d much rather hunt shiny Kartana. I’ll wait to get another Zarude for when his shiny is available

[@elliottbuxton]

amazing thumbnail

[@andrewtucker5025]

People keep forgetting the with the ticket, you get boosted spawns of things like the pans, zoruas, cutieflys with incense. If I can get a shiny of something I still need off the incense spawns, on top of the Zarude, I might consider the ticket worth it.

[@pinkfreud62]

I got mine back when, 100% so I'm happy. He's a bad azz.

[@Orangefan77]

Yeah, I got a 98 and I'm content.

[@AwesomeAdam]

They don’t get to hear the secret now hahaha

[@shellysawchuk1190]

Mine was the same as the last

[@happyelephant4774]

Wait! What was the secret?!

[@andrewmorley4288]

It’s kinda hard to determine what is worth something to different people.. it’s worth it to some people and it’s not for others.. if you feel like niantic is taking advantage of you and trying to get money out of you for something that they shouldn’t then that’s your perspective of it.. but other people want to spend the money so you have to make up your mind yourself with all the available information so good video shows what to expect out of it

[@mellovbeatz]

Question Nick and chat, is primeape evolution in Pokémon go?

[@forrestcrocker3829]

Got a shundo cutiefly🤩✨

[@feIon]

that thumbnail is peak

[@RealShayapouf]

What’s wrong with Slugma? 👀

[@jeffsmith8842]

Then adam slugs him... 😅

[@beansgummie]

That’s funny my Zarude is 13/10/10 CP 1596, so let’s hope I get something better otherwise I’ll tell you a secret?! 😅

[@scottcameron174]

Mystic Melody the hero we needed but don't deserve.

[@caballero7137]

It is not worth it in Canada. This 1 pokemon will cost 12.64. It's simply too rich for my blood

[@shel4498]

I got a shiny Flabebe!

[@TeamCAC]

It was worth it for me I got a hundo zardude

[@johnofarca]

More Adam content please!!!

[@jalelot9828]

If it have had rly costed “only” 8 bucks I could consider it, but in my currency it’s almost 12 bucks. No fing shot I’m spending 1.5 times the price for one pokemon

[@mythicalgamer007]

Mine is 15/13/13

[@YarouG]

yes

[@JoseGonzalez-vs9ck]

🙌🙌🙌

[@spy33r]

Hi bro...I gotta question for you, yesterday I raided a Groudon online ( I won't mention which app ) the reason for this there's barely any player willing to join a group ( not in my area anyways ) so my question is..out of 14 gym I joined in raiding I only got 6 .. 6 !!!! After I got those 6 the rest just kept running away and i been using my golden berries but still...so what is up with that, was it Niantic controlling it or the apps ? I spent alot of money for this game only to get 6, no hundo but 2 shiny. And I saw this guy on youtube got atleast 16 😮. Maybe anyone will be kind enough to tell me what's up with this !

[@oscarnator2324]

Those zarude stats are nuclear

[@khicks72]

Yeah, I have a 15-10-10 Zarude. I'd be more likely to buy the research if I had a good one to power up, but I'm not going to pay eight bucks just to wind up with two crappy ones.

[@donaldtNS]

I do care about the Pokedex and given how I said I'd pay money to get Zarude when I missed it the first two times and had to get an extra from my brother for HOME... I went in. (11/10/11) ...and the letter of the day is L.

[@Waltaere]

Traineeer 😃

[@shimozu92]

What's his deal with Slugma? I'm new here.

[@austinfauteux4388]

Slugma balls.

[@starscream7755]

Kinda sucks you dont get Kartana in the southern hemisphere

[@Rath-plays]

hello

[@cwbeaman]

So.....what was the secret to handle low IV exclusive pokemon? It's like he was going to tell us in this video but now we have to wait? Is his fix just a guaranteed lucky mirror trade?

[@firoen]

You aren't the only one who didn't read the announcement. I was playing with my friend and was like "oh, Cottonee has a costume?" and "oh, the three monkeys are spawning?" LOL

[@DefeatPerfection]

What was the secret

[@WorldEaterZero]

you got me curious about that secret though 👀

[@jeffsmith8842]

Yeah what is it.....?

[@superbigidiot]

Why do people gift KZbinrs in game items. Surely all of that stuff is a tax rebate for them anyway?

[@brontredding6101]

What is the secret

[@garrickdarts]

Lucky! My first Zarude was 10/12/15 so I bit the bullet and bought the ticket and got a 12/12/12. Sigh. Still, that's par for the course for me and mythicals, but somehow I'm always disappointed.

[@Masteraaa-cb5uj]

Wow

[@aasifktr6983]

Bro you come india again ❤ pls come

[@JFantauzzi7]

My Zarude isn’t the best but yeah I don’t think it’s worth spending $8 on.

[@HauxYZ250]

I didn’t think of the research relative to raiding Kartana. After assessing it from that perspective, it definitely devalues the research for me. Thanks for saving me $8!

[@dquinn1988]

Zarude is a Master League beast. Also, Grass-type attackers aren’t that useful in the first place. This isn’t a consideration that should sway you one way or another.

[@trevoranderson3208]

Mine was one CP higher than my previous 2 star. I already got my money refunded from Xsolla. Not playing these nerfing games with Niandick when I am paying for shit

[@maxpower2480]

I was honestly hoping for this to be a 1-second video of you saying "no". I have the money, I want a better Zarude, but I'm certainly not going to support their disgusting behaviour. Unfortunately there are probably enough people doing it for them to consider this a success...

[@fumrious]

Don’t know about Zarude, but Groudon raid day was a bust.

[@klone57]

96% sheeeeeeeeesh

[@LivPoxleitner]

haha nice thumbnail

[@eneeaflutur4096]

Since the cost of remote raids went up i never paid real cash for anything in pogo, and i dont plan to do it.

[@blackJJseventeen]

I only bought the ticket for the increased elemental monkey spawns, still need those shinies. The event incense is actually decent. Dont really care about Zarude, it will be bad anyway :D

[@vazzeee]

I care about the pokédex, but i ain't paying 8 bucks for a pokémon, Niantic please stop these things.

[@oscarlucey1387]

Adam and Nick, the dynamic duo

[@jamestravieso4338]

What's the secret?

[@heyitstaaz]

Maybe if it was a shiny

[@arca173]

If you are here for the answer.....its no.

[@PokeminernoodleGames]

“Zoinks”

[@Jazzamonroe]

$8 for a 10/12/13. Thanks Niantic. Didn’t have a zarude so decided to get the ticket. What a letdown.

[@2LadyDi]

Dex filler for me as this is my first one

[@badboymorales]

Its not really for zarude. Its for extra zoura and flabebe spawns on incense.

[@Theparadoxd7]

The secret better not be moving to NYC.
