My First SHUNDO From Research! 21,676 Checks In!

[@peterdempsey6204]

Billy, I would encourage you to rethink your power up pokemon recommendations. You view it as saving stardust but I, and am sure others, feel like that 600 stardust on the Ralts was 100% wasted. Instead make a list of pokemon you would like to power up (like that shundo Oranguru) or maybe a pokemon you're walking to get that last bit of XL candy for, and power those up, then the stardust for the task goes against stardust you were otherwise going to spend anyways. This is honestly one of my favorite parts of the game, my list of 20-30 pokemon I'm working on powering up and enjoy randomly picking, who's gonna get the 5 power ups today?

[@liamgell]

A good suggestion would just be to power anything lucky.

[@te3j]

this is true. unless i'm running low on dust, i always prioritize mons that i will be powering up anyways.

[@peterdempsey6204]

@@te3j I would make the case that the lower a players dust, the more a player needs to maximize their efficiency. 600 dust wasted is nothing for Billy, but if I'm under 1Mil every bit counts.

[@te3j]

@@peterdempsey6204 oh yes, i definitely agree! good luck in the upcoming legendary heroes event, my fellow trainer!

[@Paintballpro18]

I've literally commented the exact same thing in MANY of the CD videos he has, as well as when we know there will be power up tasks in GO tour/fests, but yeah guess we'll keep telling trainers to power up something they won't keep.

[@sifflipfreddy9309]

Congratulations on your shundo!

[@sufyanhakim4737]

Congrats for the Shundo! Look at the social media, so many trainers got Shundo at this research day 😅 including me, a Shundo Passimian from field research.

[@nenarenee1051]

Congrats Billy!!🎉

[@PARTTIME-]

Nice my one and only Shundo so far is Shaymin from the paid research 😱

[@chrismartinez8285]

That’s a rare one nice catch 😎 👍🏽 I have a shundo articuno from a raid they’re so hard to come by

[@raki_raki]

My first research shundo was from special research on beldum classic. Thanks to my mom for the gifted research.

[@YourFaceIsCats]

My only shundo is a normal castform. 😂 Fun video. Love the energy. Positive Go players are a breath of fresh air. Like, it’s all luck my guys, breeeathe

[@shaziaparveen2691]

I found a hundo zygarde And a shiny passimissan 95%

[@BGRUBBIN]

Wow! Found a Shundo Pineco in 2020 from research. I think it was boosted shiny odds, even back then. Done around 7100 research tasks to date.

[@angelaa1611]

Aw Dana Point!! I did a hotel remodel in Dana Point. Practically lived there for 6 months. Now I'm in PA and I miss Cali so bad. Congrats on the SHUNDO! dude!!!

[@angelaa1611]

And I'm from Laguna Beach!! You're making me so homesick!!

[@rustinbates2554]

I got my first and only shundo from research during go fest. It was a Ducklet. I have 4 now. 2 from raids, 1 in the wild and 1 from research.

[@EmceePinks]

Love these longer vlog style vids. Great video. Anyone ever tell you that you sound like a young Jeff Goldblum?

[@lucasargandona4658]

My first and only shundo was from research…and it was a Charmander 😁

[@curtisbarton7721]

9 checks for me so 3 sets of stacks got the shundo of passimian. Total field researches that I’ve done is 3,510 for getting a shundo

[@eliseland79]

Greetings from Norway. I was in Oslo playing for research day. I got a shundo AND a hundo Oranguru. I was so surprised!

[@joeycrump1518]

We twin lol my first shiny from the research day was the same shundo 😂 congrats my first ever shundo ❤

[@MCR3X]

Ggs on the catch Billy

[@lelouchchanbc]

Next year if has flying event in Pokemon Go, do not create custom Pokemon like Pikachu bounded hydrogen air balloon but must debut new flying type Pokemon from Generation 8 Rockidee, Corvisquire and Corvisknight. In the Galarian Expedition, of you are lucky , you will encounter Shiny legendary galarian birds but if you are unlucky, you used up how many Pokemon (Standard, Great and Ultra Ball) may be up to thousands Pokeball you still can't catch the shiny legendary galarian birds..

[@1974fatback]

lol Those eyes!! Good on you 🇺🇸

[@terryturner9576]

imagine maxing your buddy hearts before you go out and play an event where you know you will be walking around. LOL

[@hoglinlasagna1995]

Hating for what😂

[@TheChris1369]

I also got my first ever shundo been playing since day 1 not one I wanted but ill take it 100% shiny oranguru

[@ShadyRK9]

Congrats! I got a normal none Shiny Hundo Oranguru from the paid timed research. Also I got 4 Shiny Oranguru and the paid timed research came in clutch and gave me 1 Shiny Passimian AT THE LAST encounter and it was a 93%! Glad I was able to get both of them! 🌟🍌🐒🦧 So far I only have ONE Shundo and its a Shiny Decidueye that I got way back from the Rowlet Community Day Event in January! 🎉

[@saketroy8822]

Congrats🎉🎉

[@katiewilliams2729]

I didn't play the research day I didn't know there was free timed research and by the time I got the notification about the research it was already 4:00pm my time so I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it anyway there was a slight chance of rain and during events like this and even community day despite having several pokestops and gyms by my house I very rarely find field research tasks that give encounters so due to all of this I just decided I didn't want to go out and try for the shinys of the featured pokemon

[@BadToadTTV]

Glad to see everyone else had a good research day at least 😅! I had a total of 127 field research tasks and didn't get a single Passimaian shiny. No hundos, in fact ended on a floor IV Oranguru 😂. I have zero luck!

[@916vkidd]

I played 2 hours and didn't get a shiny of either one ... at least you got a shiny lol

[@BadToadTTV]

@@916vkidd Dang that really does suck, I'm sorry 😔 it's super disappointing, the events haven't been kind to us commoners it seems 😅

[@lelouchchanbc]

Next time the strength of steel Pokemon Go event is not a Pokemon Festival ultra unlock but must debut Generation 8 steel type Pokemon Cufant and Copperajah.

[@charliewheatley9505]

Billy I got my first ever shundo from this research day and it was a shundo pasimian and I have always wanted to master ball any shundo I got so I master balled it

[@MelhorAinda]

What a waste of a master ball. You can get those with any of the other three it’s research they don’t run. You get one master ball a season lol

[@lelouchchanbc]

Any in game event regarding Go Battle League in the next few seasons before Pokemon Go celebrates the 9 year anniversary. One fighting type from Generation 8 Pokemon can be debut in Pokemon Go. This is Clobbopus and Grapploct. In the max raid, Beldum was not deserved for the tier 3 Dynamax raid. Beldum should belong to the tier 1 Dynamax raid..

[@connormeriwether4486]

I got 1 Shiny Oranguru and 4 Shiny Passimian. I didn't need that many Passimian.

[@RichardSmith-pb8qk]

The weather was crap here and I actually fell asleep for most of the afternoon. Waste of a ticket, but oh well.

[@916vkidd]

I played 2 hours and didn't get a single shiny of either Orangaru or Passimian ...

[@reyhernandez5814]

Stevie with the good vibes bro!!! Hope we can play some POGO or Fortnite soon bros 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@nicholasvetrano]

My friend got both shundos within 20 minutes of playing

[@samodonnell6220]

This wasn't my best research day, it took me 19 checks with the pokestop and paid timed research combined to score my one and only shiny Passimian which was 2* i didnt get any from paid research so i got one shiny Passimeon from 27 encounters, however Oranguru which i didn't need the shiny of only did 4 pokestops and got 1 shiny from the paid research so ratio was 2/47 total encounters.. 😵

[@teddy_123.]

Nice

[@roberttaylor4213]

I guess I missed out on the research ticket

[@jonathanvail9643]

I got nothing shiny or shundo be hospital yesterday and today Bad weather so can't get out to walk around far but to 2 spins due to weather.

[@Shinymankei]

W man

[@jt2tj334]

I paid the money. Completed all the tasks but lost 27 of them because I failed to catch them by 5:00 PM. Why does niantic do that!

[@lifeofandrewlynn9448]

you can switch your buddy out to get more hearts

[@MelhorAinda]

He knows that, he stated multiple times that he’d already done his buddy hearts on all twenty before the event started not realizing one of the tasks was focused on that.

[@Alban_brcd]

I’m at almost 100k and still doesn’t yeah ig congrats 😔😔

[@DemRann]

you and jt valor need to switch up your b roll music choices. theres gotta be more free choices out there.

[@Waltaere]

🥳

[@ottogiron1]

Excited for a shundo, that's not useful.😂😂

[@Trujones]

21k tasks? Bro chill its not that serious. After that shundo, I'd be done.

[@camsellstoys]

I got 3 hundos and none were shiny 😂

[@21nGG]

These thumbnails are getting out of hand

[@strikerz2912]

Just throw in a new buddy

[@DhavalKenia]

What non sense! Lets not hype so much? 21676 tasks - not all are encounters. Some are berries, revives and knowing Billy - mostly Dust tasks.... There is no way to know the stat for Pokemon encounters.

[@TheRealBilbrey420]

Thats crazy! Knowing the negative Pokémon Go community, they will complain about everything! Would you like a hug? 🤗

[@DhavalKenia]

​@@TheRealBilbrey420 lmao what?! I am just highlighting the mis-information. He's put 21,676 CHECKS. Not sure. This is clear mis-information in name of Marketing. Lets spread Awareness, not false info. No complaints at all.

[@DhavalKenia]

Just to be clear. Love your content and congrats on the Shundo! Happy for you. I wish we could know the "real" odds.

[@HarlemHospital]

Don't dismiss what he is saying because it is coming across negative. Just address him and then make your point. He is correct there's no way to know how many field research tasks were encounters and it is 100% misinformation. It is click engagement. But also yeah happy for you billy.

[@YvetteRose3]

Just enjoy the video people

[@rrogers2370]

EHHHHH CAP LOL

[@allwynsjourney2225]

1 hour ago and kinda early

[@robertjanci7115]

Total bullshit, completed alk tasks and not one shiny, completed 3hrs. For nothing. Players with the auto catcher were at a major advantage. Game failed to mention you only spin a poke stop once. Someine please comment on this.

[@Saylessax]

It’s all rng, auto catcher did nothing to help this lol, it was all based off how many poke stops you spun.

[@WowSuchPerfectWorld]

​@Saylessax yeah I agree with you. Socks to have a bad event, but most of mine were make great throws and use nabab berries. Send gifts. Auto catching would have been nice for spinning I guess.

[@SnipinShiny]

You need to work on that thumbnail some more it looks creepy asf
